4-Way Trailer Connector Installation
Because the color/function of the wires on this connector may not match the color/function of those on your vehicle, be sure to use a tester (sold separately) to double check the function of each wire on your vehicle's tail light wiring harness before installing this connector. Once you've figured out the functions of your vehicle's wiring, use the included quick-splice connectors to connect the corresponding wires on the trailer connector. Quick-splices, or "wire taps," offer a quick way to make connections without you having to strip and twist wires. Just place the wires in it and snap the cover down.
The number 1 reason trailer wiring comes up faulty is a bad ground, so make sure your ground wire has a solid and clean connection to metal. To make this connection, you'll need a self-tapping screw and a ring terminal (sold separately).
Wiring Configuration
| Wire Color | Wire Function |
|---|---|
| Green | Right turn and brake light |
| Brown | Tail lights and running lights |
| White | Ground |
| Yellow | Left turn and brake light |
Quick Tips:
We install a lot of wiring harness around here, so we thought we'd share a few tips we've picked up over the years:
- Butt connectors - especially heat-shrink ones - provide the most secure, longest-lasting connection, so we'd recommend you grab a few and swap them out for the quick-splices in this kit.
- Use a circuit tester on the plug terminals once the harness is installed to make sure everything's working. There's nothing worse than figuring out that you have a bad ground or a faulty connection right before you're about to hit the road.
- Be sure to put a little bit of dielectric grease on the 4-way plug to protect the terminals from dirt, grime, and corrosion.

Perfect length and wired in with ease, Just wish it had a weather proof cap included. but still very happy
by: Jeff01/20/2023
While it worked well, I threw out the supplied connectors and used more weather proof versions. But the wiring was long enough and I have had no issues with it.

Wire harness works fine but had no instructions, not even a identifier for which color wire does what. No ring terminal included for the ground wire. I think an end cap should be included on the harness due to the fact that there is power at the plug end any time the vehicles lights are operating. I ordered connector cover 20112, fits well on this harness.

The 4 pole trailer connector part # C58044 is designed with a green wire, yellow wire, brown wire and white wire. The green wire wires into the right turn wire of the vehicles wiring harness. The yellow wires into the left turn signal of the vehicles wiring harness. The brown wire wires into the tail light signal. The white is the ground wire that needs to be grounded to a clean bare metal surface on the vehicle. A ring terminal that accepts 14 gauge wire such as part # DW05737-1 can be used to ground the white wire. If you would like an end cap on the 4 pole connector I recommend part # 20112 by tow ready to protect the end of the connector. I have also attached a wiring help article to assist with the installation.

This is a standard flat connector for attaching to a trailer. I don't have it installed yet, but it looks like it will work perfectly. The cable is long enough to connect to both rear lights.

I finally got it installed. My 87 Jeep has had the wiring modified several times in its life so nothing was as it was supposed to be. I finally got all of the previous mistakes unwired, returned it to normal and then added the connection for the trailer. It was easy to install and worked perfectly. I like it and use it all the time.

Hitch delivered quickly. The packaging is excellent. The condition of the hitch is new. The fixing kit, bolts and nuts correspond to the hitch. The video on the site was of great help in installing the hitch. I would like to have a video on the site how to connect the wires, but it's not difficult for an electrician. Problems with the installation of hitches on the car did not arise.

This Curt 4 pole part C58044 is a hardwire installation. I have attached a video of the hardwire installation for part # 18252 on a 2003 Pontiac Grand Prix. It is a different part number but the same installation. Although, I do recommend part # 56076 custom fit plug and play wiring harness for this vehicle. The plug and play option is a much easier installation.

Great, no issues. As good as the day I put it on.
by: Leonora04/20/2021
Had an embarrassing issue with one of the quick-splice connectors breaking - would recommend soldering all wires for longevity.
by: Danno04/27/2019
This attached very easily to my tail light wires. When not towing, I just shut it up in my trunk, and when I need to pull, I open the trunk and pull them out. I was very skeptical when I got the kit and saw the instructions, but it worked!
by: Johnny03/08/2020
I'll start by saying this arrived with my hitch in just a couple of days. It installed easily, as I have experience with wiring. It's high quality, and well made. I did not use the provided clamps that came with the wiring kit. I've found that splicing and soldering the connections with heat shrink tubing for protection is the best method.
by: Virgil 03/31/2020
Perfect for the application and reasonable price. I believe etrailer.com has spent some time considering which wiring kit is best for each vehicle.
by: DonB04/30/2017

Product worked okay, but the connectors didn't. They would not close and tap the main wires. I had to splice the wires in directly. Otherwise, It works.
by: MitchB06/13/2019
Easy install. Performs exactly as advertised. You will have to buy a special electrical kit to be able to hook up trailer lights.
by: Dan D.03/31/2017
I have bought several items from etrailer for several years and I have never been disappointed, mislead, or had to return any of them. I have always found them to have several selections, thorough descriptions, competitive prices, and reasonable shipping charges. I live in a small town about an hours drive from any place adequately equipped for trailer needs. Internet shopping has solved this problem for me. Thank you etrailer.

Looked like I would need more "stuff" to hook up my wiring harness.
However with the help of on line installation instructions.
Mission accomplished.

Just what I needed. Splice taps went right in the trash though. Crimp caps are reliable.

Very easy to install, hardest part is putting the trunk liner back in place. Watch the YouTube video to get the correct wire colors.

See what our Experts say about this CURT Custom Fit Vehicle Wiring
- What is the Wire Gauge for Curt Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector 58044I spoke with my contact at Curt and he said that on wiring harness # C58044 the wires are all 14 gauge. So if you wanted to use different connectors other than the quick splice connectors that come with it, get some for 14 gauge wires.
view full answer... - Does Curt Trailer Wiring Harness part # C58044 Fit 2005 Ford MustangYes, we have confirmed with Curt that their universal style trailer wiring kit part # C58044 that you referenced is the correct fit for your 2005 Ford Mustang.
view full answer... - Connecting a Hitch Light to 4-Way on a 2015 Ford F-150 So it Doesn't Deactivate Blind Spot Detector The easiest way to connect your hitch light to your 2015 Ford F-150 without it deactivating the Blind Spot Detector would be to install an aftermarket 4-Pole Connector. All you need to do is use the Curt 4-Pole Trailer Connector, part # C58044, and splice into your F-150's lights directly behind the tail light housing. The wire configuration will be: Yellow - Left turn/brake Green - Right turn/brake Brown - Tail lights White - Ground This should bypass the sensors for your Blind Spot...
view full answer... - What Wire Should Be Used for the Running Light Circuit of a 2006 Buick Lacrosse for Trailer WiringIt sounds like you are trying to connect the running light circuit wire of the Curt Vehicle Wiring Harness # C58044 to your 2006 Buick LaCrosse. It would not matter which of the tail light wires you use for this installation. Both wires carry the same circuit.
view full answer... - Function Carried on Each Wire of 4-Pole Trailer HarnessA 4-pole trailer wiring harness like # C58044 uses the brown wire to carry the running light signal for both sides of the trailer. The green wire carries right turn and brake signals and the yellow wire carries left turn and brake signals. The white wire is ground. You can see the arrangement for many popular types of trailer wiring by referring to the linked article.
view full answer... - Will 4-Way of Curt Wiring Harness # C58044 Connect to 4-Way of Trailer with 5 WiresThe 5-wires that are ran to your 4-way means that you have a wishbone 4-way. That means that the running light circuit has two wires ran for each side of the trailer. The Curt 4-way part # C58044 would work well with this. The running light circuit of this kit uses only one wire but will work fine attached a 4-way that has these circuits split out for both sides.
view full answer... - Trouble Connecting the 4-Flat Trailer Wiring to the 4-Flat on My 2008 Ford F-250 After viewing the photos that you sent me, I have a solution to your problem. It looks like the weather shielding around the 4-flat on the trailer was manufactured different then the standard 4-flat. I recommend cutting the old plug on the trailer of and wiring in Curt Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector, # C58044. The Curt end is designed to fit the plug that is on your Ford. You could also try to trim back the weather shielding on the trailers plug to fit the one on your...
view full answer... - Wiring Harness With Four Pole Flat Connector For A Massimo Warrior UTVThey do not offer a specific wiring harness for a Massimo Warrior UTV however; you can add a universal wiring harness and splice the wires into your taillight wires. I recommend the Curt Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector - 60" Wire Lead Item # C58044.
view full answer... - Recommended Trailer Wiring Harness For A 2014 Ford F-150 XL Without Factory Towing PackageAs your 2014 Ford F-150 XL did not include the factory towing package, you will need to use a hardwire kit, like the Curt # C58044. There will not be a T style connector available, unfortunately. The Curt harness # C58044 will include quick splice connectors to make the wiring a lot easier though, and you will not actually need to cut any of the wires to get it installed.
view full answer... - Recommended Trailer Hitch for Triple Towing with CamperThe Adjustable Width Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 13703 is great for trailers as it works with all different frame types and widths. It has a 3,500 lb weight capacity with 350 lb tongue weight rating. It can be bolted or welded. This is our most popular trailer hitch for campers and RV's. You'll also want the Curt Vehicle Wiring Harness part # C58044.
view full answer... - Recommended 4-Way Flat Connector For 2008 Toyota FJ CruiserWe do not have a 14 gauge trailer wiring harness for your 2008 Toyota FJ Cruiser. We do have 3 16 gauge options that are confirmed as a custom fit for your vehicle, and that gauge is the industry standard for most trailer connectors. I recommend the Tekonsha T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # 118405. I've attached a video of this installation for you. If you want a 14 gauge wire, you can use the Curt Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector...
view full answer... - Trailer Wiring Harness for 2017 Cadillac XT5 Without Factory Towing PackageFrom what I've been able to determine from my research, all of the 2017 Cadillac XT5 have the plug that is used to connect a trailer wiring harness, so the Tekonsha # 118720 should work for you. If for some reason the plug has been removed, you would need to hard-wire in a harness like the Curt # C58044, but this is extremely unlikely.
view full answer... - 4-Pole Trailer Wiring Harness for 2004 Ford Ranger Edge Without Factory Tow PackageIf your 2004 Ford Ranger does not have the tow package wiring in place to allow use of a quick-connect harness you can instead use a hard-wire type harness in order to have a 4-pole connector. If you already have a circuit tester (to allow you to confirm the function on each wire) you can use Curt harness # C58044. If not I suggest the Draw-Tite kit # 18252 which includes a probe tester and the quick splice connectors you'll use to wire the harness into your vehicle. I have linked an...
view full answer... - Can I Tow Two Trailers?There are several things to consider when it comes to double towing. First, make sure it is legal in the areas you will be driving. In the west and midwest it is gererally allowed. Most states on the eastern seaboard do not allow it. Even if it is allowed, there may be certain requirements and restrictions state to state. Next, the second trailer will need to be lightweight so as not to require brakes. Generally, if a trailer has brakes you should be using them. Next, you will need...
view full answer... - Can I Tow Another Trailer with ATVs Behind My Bumper Pulled TrailerMost states do allow you to tow a trailer behind a trailer as long as it does not exceed a certain overall length- I believe California has a limit of 65 feet total length of all 3 vehicles. You would need to consult with your State's laws and any other locales that you might be towing in to make sure that this is allowed there. You also may be limited by your trailer's ability to handle additional weight pulling at the back, so you'll want to check with the trailer manufacturer to determine...
view full answer... - Recommended Trailer Hitch and Wiring for a 5th Wheel TrailerThe best trailer hitch we offer for a 5th wheel trailer is the Adjustable Width Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 13703 because it's very adjustable and rather easy to install. I have attached a sample install video for you for reference. In order to control the lights, you'll also need the Curt Vehicle Wiring Harness part # C58044.
view full answer... - Which 4-Way Wiring Harness Fits My 2004 Ford ExpeditionThe Curt T-Connector Wiring Harness # C55384 is what provides your 2004 Ford Expedition with a 4-way connector by plugging directly into the 7-way harness that is included with the factory tow package. If you only have a 4-way that is hard wired into the Expedition then I recommend cutting off the existing defective plug and hardwiring a new one with the Curt Wiring Harness # C58044.
view full answer... - Plain 4-wire connector with 5-foot harnessThe Curt # C56175 is a trailer wiring harness that includes a powered converter that is used to handle the additional strain that can occur when powering trailer lights. The # C56175 is the confirmed fit trailer lighting harness for the 1998 Volkswagen Jetta. When a vehicle is connected to a trailer and the car is not specifically set-up for trailer towing from the factory, the powered convert will make sure that there will be enough power sent to the trailer to fully illuminate the trailer...
view full answer... - 4-Way Trailer Wiring Connector Recommendation for a 2000 Chevy SilveradoTo install a 4-way on your 2000 Chevy Silverado you would want the part # C59496 and not the part # C58044 that you referenced. The taillight configuration of your vehicle would not allow the installation of the C58044 because you have separate turn signals from brake lights and this harness requires that they be combined. The part # C59496 has a convert box that converts the signal.

If you do not already know the towing capacity of your Tundra there is a guide you can use on page 177 of your owner's manual. To use this guide you will need to know your model code which is found on the certification label inside the driver door jamb...

Then do the...

If you don't have a factory 7-way you would instead need the Curt harness # C58044.
view full answer... - Trailer Hitch For 1985 Chevy G30 VanDefinitely not as that's for mid-2000s Silverado/Sierra trucks; the trailer hitch with the highest capacity for your 1985 Chevy G30 van is the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13016. This has at 6,000 lb towing/600 lb tongue weight capacity that can reach up to 10,000 lbs towing/1,000 lbs tongue weight with the use of a weight distribution hitch. If you are indeed towing with the # C13016 and also need a 4-way wiring harness, the right fit is part # C58044.
