Installation
This custom-fit T-connector plugs into your vehicle's wiring harness, which is located in your trunk behind the tail light housings. You will have to remove the trunk floor coverings and the rear and side scuff panels to access this harness. Once you've plugged in the T-connector, run the hot lead up 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 in an out-of-the-way location within your trunk.
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.This does not work on a 24 Mazda CX-30 even though it comes up in the results. Both left and right lights will blink when you use either the left or right signal. You need to buy the Tekonsha adapter, which works fine.
I’ve been lucky this year to find 2 companies that have beyond excellent customer service. e-trailer is one of them. I can’t say enough for the way they helped me when I ordered the wrong product. Way above and beyond! This is pretty much the only company that I use for this kind of products. Price and service is what sells me so being a past RV owner, I’ve bought plenty! I highly recommend this company!
I like the 2 inch hitch and the video i nstructions!
As always, great price, great product. I didn't have wait very long for delivery. Thank you !!
Curious why you need to connect to the battery directly.
have not installed item yet TKS
I'm from Canada and looked many places for this item. Sources in Canada did not have inventory, and it is hard to find a US based vendor willing to ship to Canada. The representative at etrailer was great. The process to find and purchase this item was easy, it was offered at a fantastic price and even with exchange, duty, and shipping, it cost less than the same item offered anywhere else - Canada/US. Shipping was quick with detailed tracking. Was a real pleasure doing business with this vendor. Highly recommend.
Quality part for my wife’s Mazda CX-5-30. Service from e-trailer is excellent. They are very attentive in every aspect of the purchase and shipping.
Very seldom do I receive this level of professionalism. I paid a fair price, and received an outstanding buying experience.

Will, This is a very common issue for the t connectors if it is not grounded properly. You will want to make sure that you have the ground attached securely to the clean, bare metal surface of the frame.
