Installation
This custom-fit T-connector plugs into your vehicle's wiring harness, which is located behind the driver's-side and passenger's-side rear access panel. You will have to remove the cargo tie downs and scuff panel to access this harness. Once you've plugged in the T-connector, run the hot lead up to your car battery. Connect the lead to the included fuse holder, and then connect the fuse holder to the positive terminal on your battery.
Once installation is complete, the 4-way connector will be stowed in an out-of-the-way location within your cargo area.
It is recommended that you use a small amount of grease on all electrical connections - the plugs on your automobile and the 4-pole connector itself - to help prevent corrosion.
A tail light converter is built into this T-connector. This converter is a circuit-protected, battery-powered unit that bypasses the electrical routes that are used by a basic wiring harness. As a result, there is virtually no draw on your tail light circuits.
Because most trailers run on a two-wire system - wherein the brake and turn signals are carried on one wire - the separate brake and turn signals from your vehicle's three-wire system need to be combined so they are compatible with the wiring system of the trailer. This converter combines the brake and turn signal functions of your automobile so that they run on one wire to properly activate your trailer's tail lights. Note: This will not affect how the tail lights on your vehicle operate.
Curt builds each tail light converter using surface-mount technology (SMT). This method of construction involves soldering electronic components directly to the surface of a printed circuit board. SMT eliminates the need for leads, which are used in older through-hole technology. The result is a circuit board that is smaller yet provides more routing area and that offers superior performance, reliability and durability.
Circuit boards constructed using SMT have been shown to perform better under rough conditions with excessive vibration than those made using the through-hole method. And where would vibration be more likely to occur than in towing applications? Curt converters also produce less heat, leading to increased durability and longer life. In addition, lower levels of resistance ensure better performance, especially for parts that operate at higher frequencies.
Each Curt circuit board is made using high-quality components that are pieced together in the most technologically savvy fashion, leading to greater predictability and reliability in functioning.

Ellen: Hey everybody. I'm Ellen here at etrailer.com and we're taking a quick look at the CURT custom fit vehicle wiring harness. This is going to give you a four pole at the back of your vehicle so that you can do any kind of basic wiring for a trailer. So if you're going to be pulling something behind you and you need to be able to have the light functions from your vehicle transferred to your trailer, this is going to be the kit for you. Now, if you need an upgrade to a seven pole, this is kind of the first step in doing so and we have a lot of information and parts available if that's going to be something you're going to do later on down the road. But, as far as this kit, the nice thing about it is that there's no splicing required, since it is custom fit.
It's just going to be a plug and play application and it uses your vehicles plugs to just run right in line. It's not going to affect the overall functions of your lights when you're driving normally. It doesn't change anything about how your vehicle operates. It's just going to be there as an additional system that's going to allow you to have that function for your trailer lights.So let's take a closer look and we'll talk about what this actually fits. This works for the 2020 through the current year model for the Buick Encore GX.
So if you have that vehicle, this is going to match up with your vehicle's wiring. So all you have to do is get access to the back of your taillights, plug and play with the plugs right there. That's where it gets the name T vehicle wiring harness, since this makes a T. The green wire is going to go for the passenger side. The red, yellow, and brown goes to the driver's side.
There's also a white wire. That's going to be your ground. The black wire coming off of here is your power supply and that needs to go to your battery or potentially a fuse block if you have another source of power there or another hookup there. Usually, it's going to be going to your positive side of the battery in the vehicle. And you'll have a fuse to go in line between that.
It also supplies a fuse to go in there. It's a 10 amp fuse. So you're going to be protected by the fuse there and also by the box itself. This is kind of the brains of the operation. This is also going to protect your vehicle from any kind of back feed from your trailer into your vehicle and vice versa, so it helps keep everything safe.This is a nice unit here. They have all this potting material, which is kind of like an epoxy to keep everything safe, so it's going to be protected from any kind of shocks and road vibrations and it also protects it from any kind of water, dirt, or debris from getting inside. So you just need to find a nice sturdy spot to mount this. It does come with some zip ties to help you make that connection, also a couple of butt connectors to make the connection between your bulk wire and the power wire and also between the bulk wire and your fuse holder and then the fuse holder to your battery. So you get all those connectors here in that bag, a piece of double-sided foam tape to connect your module box here.So pretty straightforward. It's something you can do in your driveway, in your garage, usually takes maybe about an hour or two. The hardest part, usually, is just getting access to the taillights themselves. It might be a couple of screws or fasteners that you have to remove out or there might also be some panels inside your vehicle that you'll have to pop out, but, other than that, pretty straight forward and you can get it done in an afternoon.So I hope this has been helpful in deciding if this is the right choice for you. We do have a lot of wiring accessories and trailer accessories here at etrailer.com, so be sure to check us out and thanks for watching..
This fits a 2021 Buick Encore GX with LED taillights perfectly. Before you purchase a wiring harness, double check the plugs on your taillights. I purchased a Tekonsha T-One Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat plug that claimed to be compatible. It was not. Had an entirely different plug even though it claimed to be for my vehicle with LED taillights.
Directions could have been a bit more explicit but went on with no issues.
I have used your products in the past and always have been happy.
