Installation
This custom-fit T-connector plugs into your vehicle's factory tow package wiring harness, which is located behind the rear bumper, on the driver's side. Once you've plugged in the T-connector, insert the included 10-amp fuse into the integrated fuse holder.
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. 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 into OEM tow package wiring harness. Powered converter reduces strain on wiring system. SMT construction ensures superior performance.The site was easy to use and search for what I wanted and needed. In addition, the DIY videos on the etrailer.com site gave me the confidence to complete the install. From installing the hitch receiver to the connection of the 4-pole wiring kit(hint: if you're vehicle has the prewiring for towing, they have the custom kits to match). Install was a snap, like 5 minutes, due to the exact fit of the product. It took out the unnecessary problem of figuring out the wiring. Thanks for everything etrailer.com! You definitely found a new customer and I will be highly recommending this site to my circle of family and friends.
Wiring harness does as expected and was a easy connection/install. The video where to locate factory tow plugs and how to takedown panel was a asset making for quick process. Tested all function post install everything good ready to now haul with my Sorento.
Very easy to install on a 2019 Kia Sorento with the factory tow package. It plugs right into the factory connectors. For the 4 Pole Flat connector I used bracket 18144 since the wire is fairly short. It looks clean and professional. This bracket attaches directly to the no-drill bracket already present on Draw-Tite hitch receivers. To check if your vehicle has the tow package you just need to pop out the 2 plastic rivets on the driver side panel shown in the install video and see if the 2 connectors are present. I was not able to confirm through the dealer or Kia corporate which Sorentos have the factory tow package.
The wiring harness worked great and the videos helped a lot. I did fry the fuse testing the connections but only because I had my tester set on a much higher amperage than it could handle and the fuse worked like it was supposed to. Was truly plug and play once I gained access to my already installed equipment.
Kyle - 03/02/2021Can you say plug and play.....well in this case it was plug it in and light em up. My Sante Fe Sport was prewired and the harness that I purchased from y'all matched up perfectly..... it's been 1 year and I have had ZERO issues. Installation for this item was about 45 minutes. So.....in less than 2 hours I had installed my receiver hitch and the wiring harness (by myself in the driveway). Thanks again for a good product at a really good price. My apologies for not having any pics....
JV P - 08/13/2020It was super easy to install. I watched the tutorial video on the website and installed it by myself in about an hour. I was impressed on how heavy duty it really was. I also bought the plug and play wiring harness. I will be testing it out today.
Great product so far have used it many many times. The connection still feels solid when inserted to trailer harness. It’s been a little more than a year now and I have no complaints.
Very satisfied customer videos for exact wire harness with exact vehicle make is super easy and felt very confident installing myself following the videos provided.thank you etrailer.
Excellent wiring kit, simple to install using very detailed instructions and illustrations.
I was actually lucky I found this harness. The $10 higher purchase price was worth it. Plugged directly into the factory harness and done.
Very simple plug and play. It only took about 20min to hook it up. I would recommend to all with a KIA Sorrento.
It was plug and play which made it very easy to install.
Very simple to install, my car has not had one of this at all and when got this car I installed it and it worked!!
This makes six times I done this now and wanted a premium product for this install......at a modest price. Curt and etrailer. com came through for me. While installation instructions were straight forward, I chose to have my mechanic install rather than crawling around on the driveway. Had nice comments from mechanics on quality of the product.
This is my second unit. I had to replace a first perfectly good unit when the double-stick tape provided with the unit failed to hold that unit to the underside of my car. The subsequent dragging for unknown distance rendered said first unit into non-functional road dust. No pictures of the product remains, this site is SFW. Second unit attached to the underside of the same car with substantial nylon cable-ties. Same function, in the end, at twice the overall price.
If you have factory plugs this is a no fuss no muss plug and play.
The instructions were not in English, thank goodness there are pictures. Still easy to install
Your provided instructions on finding connectors connections on our 2019 KIA Sorento, proved to be exact and very clear. The combined order of Curt Wiring Harness and Curt Trailer Hitch, was promptly and properly received today, and using your videos, both installations were accomplished with regular hobby hand tools to a perfect fit and fast results. NOW we are looking for a suitable boat to hit the water! THANKS FOR ALL YOUR GREAT HELP!
Easy to install, good quailty. I didn't have any issues with the hitch.
The product works well. It would be better if the control box was closer to the chassis connecters, it was difficult to find a safe place to mount.
Perfect fit for my vehicle. Greatly reduced time and effort to install my trailer wiring. I have never liked tapping into my vehicle wiring as I know those connectors will damage the wires. This product eliminates any possible wiring problems.
Great fit for Hyundai Santa fe 2018, I don't do much with cars, very easy to install and works great 1 year later. Easily hidden under car when not in use.
The folks at e-trailer were absolutely great in helping me identifying the proper harness for my new 2016 Sorento. Once ordered it came in a few days and installation was a breeze. The online video was great at explaining the installation process - much better than a handful of printed pages and diagrams. Once the access panel was removed and the factory caps removed from the prewired connections it was effortless - about 20 minutes start to finish. Everything worked perfect during the post installation check - Well done etrailer.
Extraordinary service. Perfect fit and delivery earlier than expected. Paint better than the last one I installed several years ago. Great company!!
Very good product, plug and play, highly recommend this company.
