  • CURT

Quickly and easily install a 5-way trailer connector on your vehicle with this custom harness. The T-connector plugs directly into your existing wiring - no cutting, splicing or tapping required. Ideal for towing a trailer with surge brakes.


Features:

  • Provides a 5-way flat trailer connector at the back of your vehicle to power your trailer's signal lights
    • Fifth pin provides connection to reverse lights to allow proper functioning of hydraulic brake actuator
    • Compatible with 4-way flat trailer connectors
  • Connects quickly and easily - no cutting or splicing of wires
    • Locate connection points behind tail lights
    • Plug in T-connector
  • Comes with dust cap for 5-way flat connector
  • Limited 1-year warranty


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 installation is complete, the 5-way flat 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 5-pole connector itself - to help prevent corrosion.

The end results are very simple, the most work is snaking the connectors up to the light housing ..
Would have liked to seen shrink tubing over ground connector...
Worth the money!

@Mark You can use an adapter like # 37185 to convert that 4-pole to a 7-way, which will work great if the trailer doesn't have brakes. If it DOES have brakes, use # ETBC7 which includes the adapter as well as all the wire, hardware and circuit breakers needed to install a brake controller. We've linked you to a video that explains how the # ETBC7 kit works.

I'm really glad I decided to order from etrailer. I looked at a lot of hitches and your hitch is built just as good as the high priced hitches or better.
Thank you

After using the wiring harness for a year I only have one complaint, the ground pin on the plug broke off. It hasnt effected the operation of the light.

I purchased a Class III, heavier duty 2" receiver hitch (675lb tongue wt rating) to replace the factory 1-1/4" and a 5-flat, factory wiring t-connector kit. Both fit flawlessly with very good instructions, looked like great quality and had a great price. I ordered on-line on a Sunday and had conformation that the order had shipped before 7:00am Monday! Excellent buying experience and product. I would buy again and recommend to others.

Great Product at a very reasonable price. Easy install. No drilling just bolted right on.
Easy install with wiring harness, hooked right up by plugging in connections and running wire. I used your online video's for how to do it. I am not a mechanic, just determined to save money and I am a 69 year old retired person.



by:

Great wiring connector that was easy to install - video tutorial was very helpful.

Very easy to install. Took about 20 minutes. You should use dielectric grease on the wire connections

  • Plug and Play 5-Way Flat Trailer Connector for a 2016 Chevy Equinox
    Yes, there is a 5-Way connector that will plug right into the tail light wiring on your 2016 Chevy Equinox. It is # C56594. Since it plugs in line with the vehicle tail light wiring it can be used on vehicles with or without the factory tow package. I have included a link to the installation details for you.

  • 4-Pole to 5-Pole Wiring Adapter for 2018 Ford F-150 Towing Boat Trailer with Surge Coupler
    We have an adapter you can use to provide your boat trailer with the reverse light signal its surge coupler solenoid needs to allow you to reverse the trailer. You can use any of the adapters shown on the linked page but I recommend the Tekonsha option, part # 20036, since over the years we have found their wiring products to be the most reliable. The blue wire will splice into your reverse light circuit's wiring and then connect to the plug on the adapter. We do not offer any complete...

  • Best Trailer Hitch and Wiring Recommendations for a 2014 Chevy Equinox LT
    Yes, the etrailer trailer hitch # e98865 will fit your 2014 Chevy Equinox LT. I have included a link to the right to a video showing installation for you. If you plan on doing some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop. It also includes a 1-7/8 inch ball, 2 inch ball, hitch pin with clip, and a storage bag. If the ball mount kit does not have...

  • Installing a 4-Way to 5-Way Flat Adapter on a 2011 GMC Terrain
    Even though the actual reverse lights are located in the rear hatch of your 2011 GMC Terrain there could still be a wire that carries a reverse light signal behind one of the taillights. To find it you will need a circuit tester such as # PTW2993 to test the wires behind a taillight while someone sits in the vehicle and puts in in reverse (with their foot on the brake, emergency brake on, and the wheels chocked. Safety first!). If you cannot locate a reverse light wire this way, then open...

  • How To Install Curt Discovery C51120 In 2017 Chevrolet Equinox W/ ETBC7
    I would be happy to help! I looked up your order and it looks like you purchased the following products: 7-way Connector # ETBC7 4-way Connector # C56210 Curt Discovery Trailer Brake Controller # C84VV Curt Wiring Adapter # C51515 Now it looks like your 2017 Chevrolet Equinox does not have the factory trailer connector. If that is the case then the # C56210 you ordered will not work as it is designed for vehicles with the factory trailer connector. You would need the # C56594 instead....

  • Trailer Wiring Harness for 2009 Dodge Grand Caravan
    We do indeed have a trailer wiring harness available for your 2009 Dodge Caravan. You'll want to use the Tekonsha # 118552. The harness is a plug and play install, but you will need to run a power feed circuit to the positive battery terminal, which is pretty easy to do. I've linked to an install video, as well as a help article that shows how to run the power circuit to the battery.
