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 tail lights. You will have to remove the tail light assemblies to access this harness. Once you've plugged in the T-connector, run the hot lead 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 beneath your vehicle, near the trailer hitch. A mounting bracket (sold separately) is recommended to keep the connector secure.
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.

Quickly and easily install a 4-way trailer connector on your vehicle with this custom harness. T-connector plugs directly into existing wiring. Powered converter reduces strain on wiring system and is made using SMT to ensure superior performance.Hello, I thought I would respond to you about a couple of issues with the hitch and wiring harness. The hitch had paint that chipped off and the harness was damaged on the white wire, I did not notice it until it was installed, so I had to splice in a new one from the parts store.
Very straight forward install instructions for both hitch and wiring kit. No fit up issues on either. Very nice. I definitely will recommend both.
This harness was plug-in simple. Took about 30 minutes to get it installed up to the power wire part. Then came the laying on the back under the truck lacing the wire under the frame. It was much easier than I was anticipating leading up to it. *CAUTION* make sure to run the wire in as short a path as possible! When I got to the battery hook-up portion I had only had about 8"-9" of excess wire. Hooked it up and had all of my trailer lights. Not a bad install at all, just take your time and plan your next move as you go.
Wiring harness was installed in about an hour. We didn’t have any problems doing the installation
This product is totally worth the money!!!! Everything worked the first time .. the install was very easy, only thing that was a little difficult was running the positive cable from the battery to the rear bumber.. just take your time and follow the chassis, that was a big help.. I bought this product to install rear led brake light strip and wanted to hide the cables to give it a oem look.. would definitely recommend this product!
Does its job, very simple, longest part is running wires and securing with zip ties. Works great! If you watch the video on Etrailer from the older model you get a good idea of how it all goes together it’s only slightly different.
Ordering was easy price was great instructions were simple Took about 50mins to install the hitch and trailer wiring on my 2019 Tacoma
When ordering the expected delivery date was 9/2 after ordering I get an email saying that it is in stock and you expect to ship it by 9/3. I needed this harness for the weekend and needless to say it didn’t arrive. I have much better results usually when ordering from [online resale]. When it did arrive package was squashed and looked rough. The harness did work though.
Easy install plug and play. Hardest part was running to battery, but doable none the less. Has proven reliable no issues
Straight forward hook-up, the only downside was having to lay in the snow to run the power to the battery.
Almost factory, but with the oem connectors and all the bits to install... best bang for your buck. Second time purchase, had 7 years on previous harness and was still perfect when I traded in the truck.
Wiring worked great and this company provided tech support when I needed it. I recommend them!
Seems to be good quality. Works as it should. Connectors are a good fit and click together with authority. The wiring going from driver taillight to passenger taillight is a tad short... it works fine but an extra 6" would have given more slack. It's also a mild aggravation to run the wire from taillight to battery, but I understand the reasoning. Tip for 3rd gen Tacomas on placement of the control pack: there is a recess behind driver taillight, towards the top of the truck, right side. There's a preexisting hole there. You can tuck the control box up under and behind the panel with the hole in it and zip tie it to that hole. It's solid and out of the weather / tire spray.
Easy selection process and easy install ation
Easy to follow directions and pretty quick install. Wish it came with the bracket to mount the plug somewhere instead of it just dangling.
Ordering and shipping are very smooth. Thank you!
No problem at all.
The directions are lacking but the installation video was very good. This was a replacement. The first one lasted five years
Works well, fits perfect on a 2016 Taco ma.
This wiring harness fits great. It does take a little time, mainly because you have to run a hot wire all the way to the battery in the front. Why you can't use a source near the rear is not clear. But, overall I'm very pleased with it.
The wiring harness is very good. The connectors go between the existing truck harness and the light sockets, making for a very clean installation with no cutting of wires on the truck.
The harness is well built and the connectors fit perfectly into the OEM harness. I routed the power cable through the cab along the original harness and it took about 2 hours for the complete install. Instructions were clear and all the required hardware was provided. Everything worked exactly as it should. Great product, definitely recommended.
So far, I got the package as promised. I will update the review when I have it installed and try it.
Excellent product. Easy installation! Would recommend!
Harness was great the only issue I had was the instructions included were kind of lacking. I would recommend watching the installation for the t-one version of this harness, I could not find a video for the installation of the curt.
