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.


Powered Tail Light Converter with Surface-Mount Technology

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.


Curt SMT Circuit Boards

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.

Easy to install in 2024 Maverick. Plug and play with existing harness and just need to run a 12v hot write to the unit.

Good overall product. Hitch install went well. Instructions were good and the video on the website was also helpful. The hitch trailer wiring was a pain, the instructions were not great but the video on the website was good. The install time was quick regarding the hitch but the wiring took much longer than anticipated, hours.



by:

The connector plugs have alignment guides that don't fit to the 2025 maverick taillight connectors. Had to shave them off for them to be able to connect together. You have to be creative when routing the wiring. I lowered the spare tire and removed the box on the right side under the taillight. The wire to the engine compartment wasn't fun either. The install took about 3 hours with no help.

Product was exactly what I needed however I no longer needed it because I sold the vehicle it was for. Thanks though for the excellent service.

This is a great product, worked out excellent. Contrary to the instructions I connected it to the vehicle flexbed 12 volt source and that really simplified installation. With some purchased flexbed connectors the final assembly was all plug and play.



by:
2022 FordMaverick

Installed yesterday. Only issue with the install on our 22 Maverick Lariat was how to route the power lead to the battery in the engine compartment. Finally removed drivers side fasteners holding the fiber mat that encloses the entire underside and routed the wire behind the tail light, above the mat and then fished it into the engine compartment from behind the front wheel well. Everything seems to work fine so far, but a more complex install than anticipated due to fiber mat. Love the fact that no wires had to be cut/spliced and harness is completely isolated from vehicle electrical system.

  • Wiring and Connectors to Power 2025 Ford Maverick Truck Cap 3rd Brake Light
    Hey Geroge! You can use the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness # C59DR, but you'll also need an adapter that separates out the stop signal from your turn signals. The 3rd Brake Light Logic Module # PP20-702 is a great tool to use for this, but you could also just use this logic module directly without having to use the T-Connector kit. I also recommend checking the back side of your 4-Way/7-Way connector. If it has the USCAR connection then you can use this plug and play wiring #...

  • Troubleshooting Hyperflash Blinker 2025 Ford Maverick After Trailer Wiring Install
    Hey Dalton, the trailer wiring harness installs are not known to cause hyperflashing unless maybe something was installed wrong. Does the trailer wiring actually function too? I would check to make sure you have the fuse installed in the harness and maybe disconnect and reconnect the connectors of the harness as that might clear out any issues with the harness.

  • Troubleshooting Trailer Wiring Where No Lights Work
    Hey Matthew, are you sure the problem isn't the trailer taillights? Do you have a circuit tester that you could test the pins of the 4-way with to see if you can find out if the problem is for sure on the vehicle or trailer side?

  • Recommended 4-Way Connector Add-On for LED Tail Light Strip on 2022 Ford Maverick
    I recommend picking up the Curt T-Connector # C59DR which tees in behind the tail lights on your 2022 Ford Maverick but has a power lead you run to the battery so the 4-Way connector is pulling power straight from the battery as opposed to potentially overloading the OEM wiring circuits. This is a much safer option to splicing in connections because we aren't cutting into the factory wiring, the power is being pulled from the battery so the OEM circuits are unaffected, and the black module...

  • Can Curt T-Connector Still be Installed if a 2024 Ford Maverick Has the Factory Tow Package?
    Hey Bill, thanks for reaching out! Yes, you can still install the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness # C59DR even if your 2024 Ford Maverick has the factory tow package. This wiring tees in behind the tail lights and then pulls power straight from the battery with the black wire so it will be a separate system from your tow package. Are you using this to get the lights working on something like a truck topper?

  • What is the Difference Between the 2024 Ford Maverick TowSmart and Curt Trailer Hitches?
    Hey Frank, thanks for reaching out! The difference between the TowSmart Trailer Hitch Receiver # TS22VR and the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C84BR is the tow ratings: TowSmart 4,500 lbs towing 675 lbs tongue Curt 4,000 lbs towing 600 lbs tongue According to my research your 2024 Ford Maverick can only handle up to 4,000 lbs towing so there won't really be much of an advantage with the TowSmart higher ratings. But with that being said, I do like to have a little bit of cushion when...

    You are in luck there is already one available! To add a 2" hitch to a 2024 Ford Maverick you will want the Curt item # C84BR. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your Maverick with included hardware. It is a class III hitch with a 2" receiver that has a 4,000 lbs towing capacity and a 600 lbs maximum tongue weight. I have linked an installation video below to help you get it set up. If you are planning on towing you will also need a wiring harness item # C59DR and a ball mount kit...

  • Can The Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness C59DR Be Used For Flat Tow Wiring 2025 Ford Maverick
    The only part of the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness # C59DR you would be able to use to run the wiring for your flat tow setup on your 2024 Ford Maverick is the tail light connectors. You will need to connect the diodes and wiring from the Wiring Kit # RM-15267 to the wiring on the connectors. Be sure to wire the diodes to prevent the power from back-feeding to your Maverick.

  • What 2022 Ford Maverick Battery Should Curt T-Connector 12V Power Be Connected To
    You need to route the 12V power wire from the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness with # C59DR up to the battery under the hood of your 2022 Ford Maverick, which we demonstrate how to do in the linked installation video. I also recommend picking up the Wire Loom # 39035 and Mounting Bracket # 18144 to complete the installation.

  • Why Does Trailer Wiring for 2023 Ford Maverick Require Running Wire to Battery
    Newer vehicles have much more delicate taillight circuits than older vehicles which is why they can't handle powering additional trailer taillight circuits. This is why the harnesses that fit your Maverick like the # 119147KIT require running the power wire up to the vehicle battery. So what this does is use your taillight circuits as signal wires and then draws the power for the lights from the battery instead protecting the taillights.

  • Trailer Wiring Recommendation for 2024 Ford Maverick
    Yes we do. We have the Curt wiring harness part # C59DR that is a confirmed fit for your 2024 Ford Maverick. I recommend this kit because it installs easily and has a reliable converter box. It will help you take your trailer down the highway to the towing zone.

  • Recommended Wiring Harness for a 2024 Ford Maverick Pulling a Boat
    If your 2024 Ford Maverick doesn't have a 4-way connector you will need the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness item # C59DR you were looking at. This harness is custom fit and plugs into your Maverick's wiring harness, which is located behind the tail lights. To add a 5-pin to control a brake actuator you'll want to add the Curt Trailer Connector Adapter item # C57187. They don't make custom fit 5-ways. I have linked installation videos below to help you get these parts set up. If...

  • Why Does Curt Wiring Power Lead Need to Run to Battery on 2022 Ford Maverick
    The 12V power lead for any wiring kit, including the Curt T-Connector # C59DR for your 2022 Ford Maverick, will potentially need more power than a 12V socket will be able to provide. The whole point of having a separate power and module in a kit like this is to prevent the trailer wiring from having an affect on the OEM wiring for your tow vehicle. If the trailer were to pull enough power that the fuse on your Maverick was overloaded and blew then that means your trailer lights will be...

  • Does Power Wire of Curt Trailer Wiring for 2022 Ford Maverick Have to Run to Vehicle Battery
    The Curt trailer wiring harness part # C59DR that you referenced is rated for up to 5 amps per stop/turn circuit and 7.5 amps for the running light circuit. While this is less than 20 amps we still have to recommend you run the power wire for this kit up to the battery of the vehicle and not use any aux circuits. The purpose of this is that when you run straight to the battery you bypass all of the vehicle wiring so in the event of a short on the trailer wiring there isn't any damage done...

  • Recommended Flat Towing Parts and Hitch for a 2022 Ford Maverick
    Yes, the Blue Ox Avail Non-Binding Tow Bar item # BX7420 will pull a Ford Maverick. Since you're using a Blue Ox tow bar you will want to use a set of Blue Ox baseplates. For this I recommend the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit item # BLU88XR. This base plate kit has removable arms and will give you as close to a factory look when you are not flat towing your Maverick as possible. I have listed the other parts you will need to flat tow your 2022 Ford Maverick Hybrid below and attached any installation...

  • Can You Hook Power Wire Up From Curt Harness to In-Bed 12 Volt on 2022 Ford Maverick
    We get this question a lot but unfortunately our answer is always the same, you must run a wire all the way up to the battery when installing a trailer wiring harness like the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness part # C59DR. The reason for this has to do with the rating of the circuit, the in-bed power source may not be rated for the full power requirements of the converter which could trip the fuse or increase a chance for fires. I know it's a bit more work but it's required if you...

    Hey Fred, The best hitch for your 2025 Ford Maverick is the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C84BR because it has the heaviest weight rating and installed right behind the cutout in your bumper so you get a clean looking installation as well. To wrap up your towing setup you'll also need the Curt T-Connector # C59DR and then I recommend picking up the etrailer Adjustable Ball Mount # e66PR. The wiring gets you the basic 4-Way wiring needed for trailer lights, and the ball mount gives you...

  • Does 4-Way For 2022 Ford Maverick Come With Reverse Wire For Light Strip
    The 4-way for your 2022 Ford Maverick, the T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness # C59DR, does not come with a reverse wire, and unfortunately there isn't a way to get a harness that does have a reverse wire. For your light strip, you can plug it into the 4-way, but do have to hardwire the reverse light, but this can be made easier with a splice like Quick Splice # SWC501746-1. I fully realize that's a bit of a pain and not what you wanted to hear, but it really is the only option. And...

This is a class III hitch with a 2" receiver. It has a 4,000 lbs towing capacity and 400 lbs maximum tongue weight.

    Hey Ramond, so we have heard that the battery on your 2024 Ford Maverick hybrid is under the back seat like you mentioned. The power wire does need to run there instead of to front of vehicle like you mentioned. We don't have specific instructions for that at this time so it would be a matter of finding best route through interior of vehicle.
