Specs:
Note: This kit fills in the missing parts of a complete factory tow package. The plug beneath the dashboard will be located above the brake pedal, farther back on the far left side. There will be a couple of connections beneath the dashboard, but the one that is close to the brake pedal and furthest to the outside is the correct connector. This connector may have blue tape wrapped around it, although not in every vehicle.
Installation
This custom-fit T-connector plugs into your vehicle's wiring harness, which is located beneath the floor panel in your rear cargo area.
Once installation is complete, the 4-way connector will be stowed within the spare tire compartment of 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. 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.

Honda Element had the harness already in the spare tire well!~ Couln't be more pleased with support sales and followup.100% satisfied with e-trailer. Highly recommend them
Thanks A+A+A+A+A+++++ co.
Great Order tracking and Order follow u p.
1. Great job on the quality and finish of the hitch and hardware. The only glitch was that one of the star washers which mount onto the long bolts on the inside of the frame had to be filed/reamed out to fit onto the long bolt. They are of hardened steel so a little work.
2. You may be able to cut down on the length of the long, through-frame bolts by at least 3/4-1". The same for the U-bolt that goes through the center tow loop on the bottom of the Element. (If you'd like I can send pictures.)
3. Both electrical connectors hooked up to the appropriate places in the vehicle wiring harness as per the instructions; the best I've experienced.
4. Previously I've ordered a hitch for a different vehicle through Amazon and the poor packaging arrived torn and missing an important component. Your boxed shipment, while more expensive, arrived in very good condition with everything secured very nicely to the outer box, (nothing rattling around!). Tell the folks in shipping "Good Job and keep up the good work!"
As advertised and easy to install.
The kit arrived a day earlier than expected. The tracking information provided by eTrailer also included links to online videos, photos, and text describing the contents and installation directions. When I encountered what appeared to be a discrepancy between my vehicle and a connector in the kit, I called customer support and was directed to more detailed information on the eTrailer website that resolved the issue. The customer support person was patient and helpful and the amount of information tailored to the use of the kit on my particular vehicle was impressive. The quality of their service and the fair price they charged will encourage me to do business with them again.
My order took a bit longer to receive than previous orders from eTrailer but I did receive it in less than 2 weeks. The trailer wiring harness for my 2007 Honda Element came with good instructions, was easy to install, and functions as expected. The price for this product was quite competitive. I am very satisfied with the shopping experience.
This is a factory OEM quality product. The accessory pieces are all included and the instructions could not be clearer on installation and even storage of the wire and plug when not in use. The plug is a flat four and is self testing. I will be purchasing my hitch accessories in the future from etrailer. Great job girls and guys!
great installation instructions - videos, and such.
unit installed easily.
The toughest thing was finding the connector in my car to plug it into.
all the required hardware and connectors were present in the packaging.
Would have saved 10 minutes if I had read the instructions included with the light kit. The plug will not fit... if you do not take off the protective cover. After removing the cover it takes 3 seconds to install the back part. I was lacking confidence and really did not want to get under the dash so I took the front wiring harness to my mechanic. By the time he was ready to work on it I was finished installing it myself. You just got to find the plug. Will use the self tapping screw to ground.
So I almost called twice, but glad I didn't need to.
Easy hook up. Took me 6 minutes to install this system. Very easy. If I can do this, anyone can! Thanks etrailer!
Simple to install, great directions and video on web site.

Everything is working great. I have had absolutely no issues with harness since installation a year ago.
45 minute install. It takes a minute to find the plug under the dash. Drilled through my trunk and used a rubber grommet to route the trailer plug. Thanks
Very good product at very good price - only downside(minor) double sided tape not very good for securing unit under dash. Easy to install - did what it was supposed to do.
Product arrived on time. Installation took about a half hour. It could not have been any easier
so far so good. easy to install on my '08 Honda Element. just watch the video.
Was simple to install. Rear harness long enough to reach over the tailgate and have plenty of slack at the hitch. Stows under floor in the spare tire compartment.
Product was exactly as advertised and fit perfectly. The instructions were on spot and the install was quick.
Easy install wiring kit

Walk in the park. very easy to install. I went the extra mile to bring the wire under the vehicle. Everything works like it's suppose to. Thanks.
