Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector

Works for my 1999 Subaru forester and my hall master trailer. 95581

Works well. No problems.

So far everything worked out. Shipment took 3 days instead of 2, but was happy as many packages were delayed longer because of the storm. Thank you for getting it out the same day as I ordered. Installation went well and was just as your video described. Will test it this afternoon when I pick up the trailer. Even in 10 deg F weather, the installation went very easy. Good thing, finger tips were cold! 116065

Worked out great. used it about 5 times so far. Easy to use, and easy to install.

The product works but it is always drawing power. I need to unplug it from the cars wiring harness when I do not have a trailer attached. (the plug connecting the "circuit box" to the cars wiring harness.) At night when the car is parked (completely turned off) and a trailer hooked up to the wiring, you can see the tail lights glowing with a faint light. This should not happen. This is a replacement harness for one that I left plugged into the car all the time. It stopped working unexpectedly and I had to order a replacement. The circuit box had swelled probably by 10% to 15% in size. It happened after warranty so I paid for it hoping that it was a fluke. I would not order this product again. 259312

I'll start off and say that this product looks and feels five star, but I'm docking it one because the installation docs and video are very mismatched and conflictive. The one-page paper installation doc was barely applicable, while the video was much, much better. Use it! Pulling out the few pieces of the car necessary to gain access to the OEM plug was relatively easy. Where things got messy was where to actually put the "control" block for this thing. The video shows a self-adhesive backing which was not present. There are included zip-ties but no really good place to use them. I didn't want to leave it loose in there to become yet another rattle in the car, so I ended up securing it with that foil tape used for duct-work. It seems to have done the trick. Routing the cable was easy, and I dropped it under the spare tire and through a grommet, resealing it with silicone when I was done. I'd have loved to see some kind of cable management included for under the car and around the hitch, rather than the four independent wires being just ad-hoc wrapped around things. Electrical testing worked flawlessly, and all outputs were signaling correctly. 529224

Having already purchased two trailer hitches several years ago for my Tribeca and Forester to support our bike racks, it was natural to return to such a superb company to purchase a wiring harness connector and lighting kit for our new utility trailer. I had cursorily enquired at the local auto parts store what I would pay for those two items and the clerk cheerfully told me he could have the products shipped to the store within two weeks for $90.00 including shipping. When I told him e-trailer would have it to my house in three days for only $68.00 including shipping, he just shrugged his shoulders and closed out of his catalog screen. True to their word, e-trailer had the two parts to my house in three days, and this weekend I will begin the clean up of the utter destruction in our woods caused by a hellacious Maine winter. 110 inches of snow caused more damage than we have seen in years. Thanks, e-trailer, for providing us with such quality service for our Subarus and our new(used) utility trailer 191270

Plugged it in, i have lights!! My 02 Forester came with a harness, but when i plugged it into my trailer there were no lights on the right side. I emailed George, got some very helpful diagnostic help, and determined the old harness was faulty. Ordered the new one, plugged it in, viola...good as new :) cant say enough good things about etrailer.com, but i will add that EVERY online business should operate this way. 203142

Hello, and thanks for following up after the 1st year has elapsed.Product still works great. Etrailer has a customer for life in me, I remain impressed with my experience there :

Product arrived on time and was very easy to install. My hook up was right where "etrailer" said it would be and the video made it as simple as plug and play. I hooked it up the day I received it and within 17 minutes I was loading my trailer with deer stands and heading to the woods. The product was perfect in function, price and ease of install. Will definitely use "etrailer" again. Thank you, John 147546

Still working like new.

This harness replaced a Draw-Tite one that failed after about 4 years of occasional use. I'm hoping this one, with revised circuitry, lasts longer. It was trivial to install, as it has the correct pin connector for my Forester. In contrast to the previous harness, it has a dust cover and a 10 amp fuse. It worked fine on a 200+ mile drive (including the load for a camera I use for a rearview in my travel trailer). 212343

This harness still works perfectly. Like others who bought it, I keep the wiring inside my forester when not in use, rather than mounting the external portion of the connector to the receiver hitch.

Kwame M - 07/18/2016

Great product. This took under 5 minutes to install. The Forester 2006 had the electrical connector under the floor tray on the passenger side at the very rear under the taillight hidden by a plastic flap. Lift up flap, plug in, then snug the hardware into the side well. You can run the wire and trailer connector through the 1" hole at the rear of the wheel well capped by a large rubber plug so the wire disappears under the spare. 94920

I have a 203 Suberu Forester and the stock trailer lighting system stopped working. I purchased the 4 pole Curt T connector and harness to fix the problem. It took about 15 minutes to install. Most of the time was spent trying to unsnap the Subaru side panel. Once that was done it was a breeze to instal the harness. I really like the product and the good follow up from etrailer. I will buy from here again. I highly recomend this product. 86145

Installed this on my 1998 Subaru Legacy Outback Wagon. Just plugs right in, works great. For the 98 Legacy Outback Wagon the connector is located in the back trunk, driver side inside the small (about 5x5inch) access panel directly in front of the tail lights. This panel pries off easily. You might want to mount the module under the panel that is to the left of the spare tire panel. To remove this panel you must remove the trim around the hold down loops. The connector can easily be fished up to the connector, the module can sit under the removed panel (I carved out some of the Styrofoam support) then fish the flat connector out the rubber plug at the bottom right side of the spare tire well (cut a slit, stretch and work flat connector out) 81164

Product, shipping, website, return policy all were perfect. Will for sure use this site in the future. Only reason i didn't give it full excellent review was because I found my hitch cheaper two on 2 other sites. That being said those sites didn't have the amount of reviews etrailer did which further explained the ease of install by customers....and gave me that desired warm and fuzzy feeling when ordering from the World Wide Web :) Wiring installation instructions complete with pictures made me feel like superman with a phd. Well done etrailer. Well done. 128229

Box arrived with a couple holes torn and hitch hanging out one corner, but l accepted it hoping for the best. Installed hitch and wiring harness by myself in about 2 hours from start to finish... probably could have done it faster with help, starting the bolts was frustrating but doable nonetheless. Product seems well made, no complaints there. Dealing with Etrailer has been a good experience so far and will most likely be a returning customer. Attached pic of hitch hiding under bumper, just how l like it! 124424

The wiring harness/trailer plug worked great, no problems except for the installation instructions. I had to look elsewhere for instruction on how to get to my particular vehicle's built-in plug. The included instructions were not wrong, just too vague. A link to a website with more specific instructions would have been nice. Delivery was quick. 110409

It works perfectly, no problems at all.

Mark M - 12/18/2014

Very easy to install. When checking with volt meter, I was surprised to see a base voltage present at the plug between the individual connections and the ground. Still, the trailer is functioning as it should. 74591

After years of individual wire splicing connections for trailers, I am still amazed how easy this was and that it works so well. I think of this every time I connect it up to use.

William G - 04/09/2014

Second time dealing with this company and I have not been let down yet, good prices and even better service and delivery time. Highly recommended 643115

Worked perfectly, the video was helpful for the installation. Install the fuse in the fuseholder before using. 643025

All was what it was supposed to be and here quickly w/o all the craziness of extra costs to get here "faster". 639284

Used it on a small trailer I built to haul model airplanes. It made the wiring hookup very easy and it works great. 639093

The curt trailer wire harness is perfect for 2009 subaru outback. thanks so much for info and product. I will buy additional harnesses as backup for our other cars since my 2009 connector broke at an inconvenient time. 579586

Very simple to install. Works great. 578310

This wiring kit is easily installed in a matter of a few minutes with the right tools. Clip is already installed so just hook the trailer wiring to it and you are ready to go. Ordered with the hitch and both items came in the same package. STARS!!! 574646

2009 Subaru Outback Wagon

Amazingly easy installation, simple plug-in and we were on our way - perfect fit for the trailer connection to our Subaru for our move. We are hopeful to use our trailer hitch equipment more frequently over the next year as we look to purchase a camper! My brother-in-law was able to install our tow hitch in a few hours and raved about the ease of installation... 527485

Looks like a quality product and installed right into the factory plug in a few minutes tops. 524877

E trailer was very helpfull. They realy do have a lot of knowledge with trailer hookup. 518668

We found the socket for the wiring harness, but like others, found the directions for routing the wire impossibly incomplete. There may be a hole to feed the lighting connector thru, but neither of us could find a logical one to use without enabling water to seep in. 517096

The manufacturer specifically designed the harness so the connector would be deployed from the interior of the vehicle when needed. This way, the connector is protected from damage when its not being used. The rear hatch of your vehicle has weatherstipping thats thick enough that the wire for the trailer connector wont be damaged as long as you avoid the latch area.

Not only did the product work perfectly as advertised, the etrailer video showing me how to install it was right on the mark as well. I had it installed within twenty minutes (mainly because the back of my outback had a bunch of stuff in it) and it tested perfect on the first try 514211

etrailer was quick and easy to buy, but impossible after delivery to get any response. There was no factory clip in my year of forester, and the harness is useless to me. 513859

I spoke with the folks at Curt, as well as the manufacturer of the other brand of wiring harness that also fits your vehicle. According to my research, all models of the 2000 Subaru Forester will have the connector for the tow wiring harness. The challenge is in finding it. Subaru is known for varying the location of the plug, so the fact that youre having difficulty locating it isnt surprising. The plug is supposed to be located on the passenger side of the spare tire well. Its white in color, and could be covered with blue tape. Try lifting the carpet to the right and left of the spare tire well or under the threshold. An alternative spot to check is behind the side bulkhead panels on either side of the cargo area as if you were accessing the back of the taillight assemblies. In our experience, with Subaru vehicles, 90 of the time the connector is where its supposed to be, but the other 10 of the time, it can be harder to find.

Another great transaction, I love doing business with Etrailer.com. 512723

Good fit and easy to install especially if you have a 20-year-old son doing most of the work 512112
