Video Transcript for Review of CURT Custom Fit Vehicle Wiring - T Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness 4 Pole Flat - C84RJ

Hi, everybody, Andy here with etrailer.com. Let's take a look at this CURT T-connector vehicle wiring harness with a four-pole flat trailer connector. Now, this harness has been designed to fit your 2018 and newer Volvo XC60 and then your 2021 and newer XC60 Recharge. On custom-fit parts such as this harness, I do recommend taking advantage of our vehicle fit guide here at etrailer.com. Simply input the year, make, and model of your vehicle and our fit guide will confirm if this harness will work for you or if we have another one that will work for you. Now, this harness is going to give you a four-pole flat trailer connector at the back of your Volvo to power your trailer's signal lights.

This is going to also be compatible with five-, six-, and seven-pole adapters. Those adapters are sold separately. And as you see, we do have this included dust cap here that can cover up those connection points when the plug is not in use. Now, the black box on this harness is a power taillight converter, and this is going to make sure that your Volvo's wiring matches that of your trailer. This will connect directly to your vehicle's battery to avoid overloading the vehicle's electrical system.

So that's gonna reduce strain on your vehicle's wiring system. And by the way, CURT does build each converter box using surface-mount technology, giving you consistent, reliable performance. This is gonna maximize trailer light yield and intensity while producing minimal heat, ensuring superior operation even in rough road conditions. Now, this harness is designed to connect quickly and easily. You will need to locate your vehicle's wiring harness, which is located in the rear cargo area.

You might have to remove the trunk floor coverings and the rear access panels to access the harness. But once you locate the connectors, you're gonna separate them, and you wanna be careful not to break the locking tabs. And then you're going to insert these T-connector ends between the vehicle's wiring connectors and then lock them into place. These are custom fitted to your vehicle, so they're gonna match up perfectly with the connection points on your vehicle. And they're gonna snap and lock together for a tight, secure fit.

Once you have these plugged in, you will need to make a good ground connection. And the ground wire is this white wire that you see here with a ring terminal attached to it. It does come with a self-tapping screw, as you can see right there, so you can get this grounded to a suitable location, such as your vehicle's frame or cross member. You just wanna make sure that it's clean and rust-free. Next, you'll want to mount this converter box to a safe, out-of-the-way location. You can do that a number of different ways. We do have this double-sided adhesive tape that's included with this kit that you can use. I would recommend using this with another secondary way to mount this, because this tape might not hold as long as it should. So I would maybe use another one of the many cable ties that's included with this kit, or as you can see, we do have a hole at the top here. So if you also have another self-tapping screw on your own, you could use that screw to secure that as well. Next, you'll want to run the hot lead to your vehicle's battery. That's this short black wire that's coming out of our converter box. This short black wire is going to get connected to one end of this included bundle of black wire using one of the butt connectors that's included with this kit. And then the other end of this bundle is going to get routed to your vehicle's battery. Once you have this routed to your battery, you're gonna take this fuse holder here, take one of the wires with the other butt connector and connect it to the routed end of this black bundled wire. Then you're gonna take this ring terminal and you'll attach that to the other wire that's coming out of this fuse holder. And then that ring terminal will get attached to the positive post of your vehicle's battery. This does come with a 10-amp fuse. That will slide into that fuse holder there. It's got a cap there to protect your fuse to keep it protected. Now, you can secure any slack or excess in your wiring with the cable ties that comes with this kit. Instructions are included to guide you through the installation process. Once installation is complete, the four-way connector can be stowed inside of your cargo area. Well, that's gonna wrap up our look today. I do hope that it was helpful for you. Again, my name is Andy. Thank you for joining me.
