Video Transcript for Curt Custom Fit Vehicle Wiring - Trailer Hitch Wiring - C56117 Review

Today we're going to review part number C56117. This is the Curt T-connector vehicle wiring harness with the four-way flat trailer connector. Now, this is a custom-fit part. It is designed to fit the 2010 Infiniti G37 convertible. Now, on a custom-fit part, I'd always recommend to go to our website, use our fit guide, put in your year and model of vehicle, and it'll show you if that part'll work for your application. Now, this part will provide a four-way flat trailer connector at the back of your vehicle to power your trailer signal lights.

It does connect very quickly and easily. Basically just locate your connection points in the rear cargo area. The connection point's usually behind the tail lights of the vehicle. Plug in these T-connectors on each side, attach your ground wire, and then run your hot lead to the car battery. Now, it does include this tail light converter, and this is to ensure that your vehicle's wiring will match that of your trailer. The module or the converter is a powered module.

That's why you would connect it to the battery, and the reason you do that is to avoid over-loading your vehicle's electrical system. The converter itself is constructed using SMT technology, which is surface-mounted technology, and this will give you a consistent, reliable performance. It maximizes the trailer light yield and intensity while producing minimal heat, and it also ensures superior operation in any rough road conditions. Now, this also comes with this dust cap, which is nice. You can put this onto your four-way, and when you're not using your four-way, when it's not plugged into your trailer, just take your dust cap, put it over the terminals, and that'll protect those from any damage or from the elements themselves. Now, this part does come with everything shown here.

I'm going to show you where all these pieces go in a minute, and it comes with a nice set of detailed instructions that also tell you where they go, and you have nice pictures of where they would go. They show you. Now, a few specs on this. The maximum amperage on the stop and turn light circuits is 3 amps per circuit. On the tail light circuit, it's 6 amps. Just briefly, to show you how this would install, you go to the rear cargo area of your vehicle, and you'll gain access to behind the tail lights, and again the instructions will instruct you on how to do that.

What you'll do is want to start on the passenger's side, so what you'll do is you'll take this T-connector that has the green wire that'll designate that it's for the passenger's side, and again, you'll detach your harness from your tail lights and then plug this T-connector in place of that. Plug it to the tail light and then your harness back into that. Then you'll notice there's a white wire with an eyelet on it. You need to connect that to a good, clean ground. If you see one available, go ahead and connect it to the ground. If you need to make one, just use this grounding screw that they include. Drill a hole, and you can make your own ground. Then what you want to do is go to the driver's side, and you'll see this length of yellow wire. This'll run over to the driver's side, and you'll do the same behind the tail light. You'll unplug it and then plug this in. If you'll notice, you'll have this one wire left, this black wire with the butt connector on it. This is for the power. This is what will run to your battery. What they do is they give you a length of wire here that'll run up to the front of your vehicle to attach to your battery, so you'll attach one end of this length of wire to the wire coming out of the converter. Run this wire all the way up to the front of the car. If you notice, they'll even give you some cable ties to take up any slack, keep the wire from hanging down. Once you get up to the front now, you don't want to connect this directly to the battery yet. You'll want to run it through this in-line fuse holder, so what'll do is take the included butt connector, put it on that end, attach it to one end of the in-line fuse holder, and then what you'll do is with the other end, the wire on the other end of the fuse holder, you'll take this included eyelet connector, put it on. This will attach to the positive post of your battery. One last thing, just go ahead and take your 10-amp fuse that's included, insert it into your fuse holder just like that. Put the cap on. You should be all ready to go. One thing I did want to mention. Now, it comes with a piece of double-face tape here, double side. Attach that to the converter, and then peel that off. You want to attach this converter to a nice, flat surface so it doesn't move around in the vehicle. Then you just run your length of bonded wire here out the back and plug it into your trailer, and it should supply your lights to your trailer, but that should do it for the review on part number C56117. This is the Curt T-connector vehicle wiring harness with the four-way flat trailer connector.
