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 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 cargo area.
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.
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.

Great products, cheapest prices, free and fast shipping (over $150.00). You can't go wrong.
I purchased this Curt wiring harness (made in USA) over the other cheaper option, and it was a good decision. The installation went reasonably well and most importantly when I got all done it worked. You really need to plan where all the wires are going to be routed before you start. The flat connector and the black power wire I routed inside the car, and the right light taillight under the frame. I put the flat connector inside the compartment where the jack is stored and when I need it I just pull it out.
Hints:
Review the online video before you start, it gives you a good overview of what to expect.
Make sure you install the control box as low as possible in the light well otherwise you will not have enough green wire to run to the other light.
Use black tape on all the connectors to make sure they do not come apart.
Running the wire inside the vehicle was pretty easy. I fished the wire under all the inside trim panels and went through the firewall in the same place the hood release cable did. It was a lot cleaner and I did not have to deal with where to attach the wire under the car.
Areas that could be better:
The installation instructions are pretty basic, and could use some help. Make sure you stare at the wiring diagram before you start the install.
The green wire that goes to the right side light needs to be at least a foot longer. You have to be real creative in routing the wire to get it to fit. I had to re-run the wire several times to get it to fit.
The double stick tape to attach the control box to the light compartment does not work well. The area you need to put the box in is not flat thus making the tape unusable. I ended up putting two strips of duct tape on it to hold it in place
Excellent! Fits perfect with slightest trimming of air dam, as stated in instructions.
Installing this without a lift would have been much more of a challenge. Routing the power lead wire from the battery to the rear of the vehicle was the hardest part. I followed the brake lines. The actual harness was very nice, but the lead on the drivers side should have been longer to allow for easier mounting of the control box. All in all, not too bad
Install was straight forward and easy.
Fit factory plugs perfectly.
I mounted the box behind the drivers tail light and since my van is a Ram CV, it doesn't have anything in the back, and I found a factory plug for the 3rd row entertainment system tucked in the quarter panel for the 12v power so I didn't even have to run a new power wire for it.
The hitch and accessories are great and were easy to install. Videos helped a lot. The only thing I would say is the packaging was very beat up upon arrival. Nothing was damaged or scratched but the entire contents of the Curt T-Connector kit was spilled out into the bottom of the box which had numerous holes it obviously from UPS handling. Nothing was missing but that's surprising considering the size of the holes ripped in the box.
Easy install. Finding the clip to undo the taillight wiring harness was the most difficult part!
After reviewing what must be a dozen different tow hitches I finally decided on this one for several reasons. First, its custom made for my application, which happens to be a 2011 Town n Country. But there are several years with this configuration. Unfortunately I was alone in my driveway to do this install. But because it was made just for my situation in went right in like it should. In fact all the holes lined up so perfectly I was able to hand tighten the screws back in. Too easy. They also provide how-to videos which are very useful. I bought the light package and it too was a no-brainer to hook up since they've taken most the work out of the struggle of figuring out what goes where. The only problem was in the UPS delivery where they had torn a large cash in the box and the instructions must've fell out in transit since there were none. etrailer's video says to reference those instructions for the correct torque. I wasn't worried tho' as I tightened them real tight and then welded to my satisfaction. And if, like me, you've ever had a hitch come loose out on the road you'll learn to tack those on after you've bolted them up. Either way this was a great fix for my application and I would do it again without hesitation. Good luck!
My hitch and electrical harness appear to be just right sized for my van. My mechanic installed it with another service preformed. It works just as I expected.
Trailer sells the right products the wiring is easy to connect price is worth the hassell.

Working good love my hitch
Easy install, cheap connectors, pins not in all the way, loose connection, lights flickering immediately upon install. Had to hard wire multiple wires around it, making it pointless.
Works very well, easy to install. plugs into tail light assembly easily. I recommend the following. install the electronic module using the mounting hole and drilling a piolet hole for a metal screw, I used double faced tape--did not hold. Also solder the positive wire from the battery to the positive wire on the module, mine rusted apart with the winter salt.
Easy! Clean installation. The install video was excellent. Very helpful.
Good price, fast shipping.
I really like it. Works great and is easy to install.
Made the wiring very easy. Quality connectors and wire.
All my questions where answered. Professional service .
EXCELLENT JOB
Always has been good, quality products and very fast shipping. My favorite store for trailer parts.
Perfect wiring kit to add a receiver to my van. The instructions were perfect and easy to follow.

One year later, our hitch and wiring system is holding up perfectly. Im glad I went with CURT systems. The installation, instructions and Kit were easy to follow.

Kit included everything needed, and instructions were easy to follow
Installation was straight forward and took me about an hour. I routed the passenger side tail light wiring before securing the module in the drivers side tail light space. The green wire was long enough as I made sure it was on top of the bumper ledge and trailer hitch brackets after reading the other reviews. It is very easy to route it so it will be to short. I purchased 20 ft of small wire loom for the power cord and secured it with wire ties under the car. It was pretty easy but there were not enough wire ties in the kit. I used about 15 wire ties for a very neat installation of the power cable. I also cut a slit in the rubber grommet in the drivers side tail light well and ran the trailer hook up wire into the car jack compartment. This made the wire a little short but I was able to purchase an extension. For me it is much better to have the trailer wire inside of the mini van rather than trying to find a spot to secure it underneath the van when not in use. Every thing works no problems.

Hi Bob, I would also like to run my flat four connector through the jack storage area on my 2014 town and country but am having trouble routing it. I see the grommet you are talking about and have removed it just to see how I can route the connector. After removing the grommet how do you get into the jack storage ares without doing some cutting?
Trailer hitch was very easy to install. Backed van up incline until rear wheels were in garage. removed two exhaust hanger bolts and five bolts for hitch.had plenty of room without jacking. Used small stool to raise right side of hitch close to final area and then used scissors jack to lift driver side into position.loosley replaced bolts on driver side first then moved scissors jack to right side and finished lifting hitch into position. Exhaust pipe didn't move very much but overcame that by using socket with universal. replaced hanger bolts tightened all bolts. Done! Wiring harness went very smoothly as chrysler provided a nice opening on rear quarter interior behind jack storage to mount module on their module. a rubber and plastic exhaust air opening provided room to put wires out to hitch and to rear lights, only issue there as others have noted is green wire is too short. Only time consuming issue was routing wire up to battery without jacking vehicle. I also spent $3.00 to put plastic shielding over wire to battery. Used a plastic block and stainless clamps to mount bracket all is working fine

works great have experienced no problems
Installation was a breeze, but on our second camping trip this wiring harness is failing.
The wiring harness I purchased on 7/2/14 is failing. The right taillight of my trailer is always on and flashes like a strobe light when the brakes are applied or the right turn signal is on. With everything disconnected from the wiring harness except the ground and power, there is a constant 5 volts at the connector for the right side lights. I disconnected the power to the unit hoping it would reset, but that did not help.
I unplug the trailer from the car at night when camping for fear of running down the mini-van battery. The running lights and left side lights work fine.

The first C56150 wiring harness failed within a year see 06/25/2015 review. Per etrailer.coms instructions I returned the wiring harness and was sent a replacement. My voltmeter indicates that the new harness is working correctly.

Its working exactly like it should. And really, when you buy a custom hitch made for your vehicle and follow up with a few welds there really is nothing to go wrong. If I get another vehicle and need another hitch I wont hesitate to get it here and I wont have to spend the usual two hours researching the market first.
