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 4-way 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 4-pole connector itself - to help prevent corrosion.
A tail light converter is built into this T-connector. 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.

Today we're going to review part number C-55379. This is the Curt T-connector Vehicle Wiring Harness with the 4-pole Flat Trailer Connector. This part is a custom-fit part number. It is designed to fit the 1989 to 1995 Toyota pickup; also the 1995 1/2 to 2004 Toyota Tacoma. This is a custom-fit part number, and anytime it is a custom-fit part number I do like to recommend to go to our website and use our fit guide. Put in your year and model vehicle, and it will show you if this part will work for your application. This part number includes everything shown here on the table. This will provide a four-way flat trailer connector at the back of your vehicle to power your trailer's signal lights. It does connect quickly and easily; there's no cutting or splicing of the wires. Basically, you locate your connection points behind your tail lights on your vehicle, plug in these T-connectors to each side, and then ground this wire and you'll be ready to tow a trailer and supply the lights to the trailer. It does include this tail-light converter, which will help you ensure that your vehicle's wiring matches that of your trailer.
This is constructed using SMT technology, which is Surface Mount Technology. That will give you consistent, reliable performance, and it helps maximize your trailer light yield and intensity while producing minimal heat. It also ensures superior operation in rough-road condition. It also comes with this dust cap which is used for the four way. Basically, what you can do is just put this around the connector itself, and then when you're not plugged into the trailer you can put this dust cap right over the four way. That will protect it from any weather; it also protects it from getting any damage to the terminals there. The specs on this wiring harness: the maximum amperage for the stop-turn light circuit is three amps; the tail-light circuit is five amps per circuit. It does come with this nice set of instructions.
These instructions will have nice pictures to show you where your connection points are on your vehicle When you go to install this what you do is go to the back of the vehicle. You have to remove your tail lights, and at the back of the tail lights you'll have connection points that will match these T-connectors. You'll start on the driver's side, the one that has the yellow wire in it. This will attach to the tail lights behind the tail lights on the driver's side. Then you'll run this longer wire, with the green wire in it, over to the passenger's side. The same way, attach this behind the tail light on the passenger's side. Have this extra, white wire with the eyelet on it. What you want to do is connect this to a good, clean ground.
If you don't have one you can drill a hole and use the grounding screw they include. On the connector itself you want to secure this so it doesn't bounce around. They give you this double-faced tape you can attach to there; peel that off, put this on a nice, flat surface so it won't move around, and then they give you some extra zip ties to take up any extra wire that might be hanging down. You can use the zip ties to secure that. What you'll do is just run this length of wire out of the back of your vehicle, and that's where you'll plug in your four-way from your trailer to. That should do it for the review on part number C-55379, the Curt T-connector Vehicle Wiring Harness with the 4-pole Flat Trailer Connector. .

It's a great product, and was easy to install took about 30 minutes 244263

Very easy installation. I had a bed cap installed and they spliced the brake light wires but this plugged right in! 369837
by: Brad06/22/2016
Installed in no time. Quick shipping, fit the stock Toyota connector perfectly. All wires are plenty long. Would recommed. 263922
Still going strong, pull my trailer once a week and the lights are still working properly,
Brad - 06/22/2017by: Rhett09/30/2017
Custom fit of the trailer lighting assembly was a perfect fit and only took 15 minutes to install. Neat and clean finish that functions perfectly. My order arrived in 2 days. Great product you will be pleased. 438121
by: Phil08/02/2018
Installation was easy enough. The only thing that could have been better is if I had some cable shield. I routed all wires away from any sharp edges and secured them to the existing cables with electrical tape and the zip ties that were provided. The double back tape for the controller was a nice touch and I found the perfect place for it in the video. All lights functioned perfectly, I have no complaints. 548983

Everything plugged straight in to the factory plugs like it was advertised to do. No splicing, just plug and play. The install was fast and easy 397794
by: Samuel B11/07/2016
The product was ordered and shipped as specified. Quality of product is ok. Conniction plugs were oem quality, but the flat 4 plug was about as generic as you can get. It is by no means made for long term, heavy useage. I am actually considering replacing it with something more sturdy. Also, kit should have came with 10 ft of wire looming for protection, and instructions should have made it clear to follow current wire loom. 314438

I am very glad that I ordered the Curt T Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness for my 1992 Toyota Pickup. It took about 16 minutes to install it as it was very simple. I just removed both taillight assemblies,unplug them and plugged in the Curt connector harness,ground the ground wire and plug my trailer to it and Boom,all my lights worked, Running lights Both turn signal lights, break lights,side marker lights and even my emergency flashers also worked. No splicing,or guessing at the wires.In my book this is a great product and it really made my day. 156353

This product is terrific. I found some weird wiring that someone did on the left rear light of my truck in the past. Apparently they were trying to get the trailer lights to work by adding direct battery wiring. I wasn't sure what to do so I decided to start by just removing all that extra stuff and installing this kit as per directions. I did that and boom!.... The the tailer lights worked perfectly first time out! I was very surprised... I was sure there would be problems. But there were not! It was just too easy! 514917

Harness is well made and install is very straightforward. Also a great price on eTrailer.com! Had an issue with the first harness we installed. eTrailer went above and beyond to get a replacement unit out immediately and delivered to me in time to be installed before our big camping trip. Thanks Nicole! New unit works perfectly and am very pleased with the product and eTrailer's customer service! 574585

Fast shipment!! Received hitch in a few days. instructions where right on and easy to use. Plus, online there was a video from etrailer on how to install the hitch. Hitch and wiring only took 2 hrs to install. Great product, great service will definitely order from them again! Thank you etrailer! 294806
by: Chuck F.01/13/2017
Just as described. Haven't installed yet, looks like it will be super easy to do. Can't wait to install hitch and wiring! But the best review I can do would be about the company etrailer.com!! Super fast shipping! About an hour after I placed the order, someone called me to let me know about the order and shipping!! A couple of emails too including shipping and tracking information. Never happened to me before. Just A++ in my book. Will definitely will be doing business with them again!!! Thanks so much. 332199
by: Jim Wilson05/17/2015
Harness was exactly as described. Shipping was fast. There was even a picture in the package along with the directions to install the harness. I have no complaints about these guys at all. I will definitely check them out the next time I need parts for my trailers or other towing needs. 193725

I bought a Curt trailer wiring harness C55379 to fit my 1997 Toyota Tacoma. Everything worked just as was explained in the etrailer video. Basically plug and play. etrailer deliverd my order quickly and kept me up to date. 396739
by: Mike Burke07/19/2016
The bumper bracket does not fit back over the frame and hitch. The bracket tab that goes through the hole in the hitch and around the combined width of frame and hitch is too narrow. I will need to trim the tab and widen the gap to allow sufficient clearance. The video shows that it merely slides right into place. Not the case for my install. 273545
by: Randy05/04/2015
Will not run lights on trailer unless you have 12 volts at brake lights mine is only 11.8 and it will not run brakes or blinkers, running lights do not pull it down so it will run them make sure and check before you buy 189933
by: Bob L10/19/2013
Positives: Product installations were easy to follow and the product functioned as advertised upon completed installation. Wire lead length was reasonable. Negatives: A warning label attached to the wires warned that the converter module must be mounted in a protected area similar to the interior of a vehicle. This type of mounting is virtually impossible on the Toyota Tacoma. The converter was sold for the Toyota Tacoma. Since the converter box cannot be mounted in a protected area, I expect early failures. 104424

The Curt T-Connector vehicle wiring harness arrived just a few days after placing my order. Everything I needed was included in the package. Installation was so easy even with removing my very old failed harness, installing the new one only took about 30 minutes. Connections were simple and no splicing! I would recommend etrailer to anyone. 158587
After a year of use it still works perfectly.
Bud G - 10/31/2015by: Ronald10/01/2018
This product installation was so simple. Recalling what a pain it used to be to locate and cut into wires to splice-in connections, this product makes the task easy. Delivery was timely along with the receiver hitch and bracket, and at a great price. 570547
by: Dennis09/19/2018
Worth every cent. 10 minute installation seemed like 5 minutes. Pretty straight-forward. 566775
by: Jason08/28/2018
Great product, does involve removing both rear taillight covers to connect, but other than that everything is provided including double stick tape, metal tapping screw & zip ties. 559144

I am replacing a wiring harness that I previously purchased from etrailer.com. The previous harness lasted for 15 years until the salt and calcium chloride spread on VT roads took its toll on the electrical connections. I'm pleased with the performance and endurance of the harness in some challenging environments. Thanks for your service. 577615

by: Earl03/28/2018
Very nice product. Easy to install. Took longer to put wire protector around it than it was to install. Works really good and with no problems. The instructions with it easy to read and to the point. I would recommend this product to anyone. 490246
by: Kurt02/27/2018
Overnight shipping as requested, outstanding communications updates and the ball hitch actually had some shipping wrapping around it. Nice. The wire harness install was a breeze although I agree with other posters who made the point that there isn’t enough wire to store the box out of the way of the elements in a Toyota Tacoma mount. I’ll use the enclosed two way tape (kind of a joke considering the location options) and coat the box with silicone sealant. 479429
by: Jason02/20/2018
Thanks for the follow up and the wiring is great! I use my hitch and trailer light all the time. I have had no issues and it was super easy to install. Thanks again. 477449
