Quickly and easily install a 4-way trailer connector on your Ford Transit T250 with this custom harness. T-connector plugs directly into existing wiring. Powered converter reduces strain on wiring system and is made using SMT to ensure superior performance.

Installation
This custom-fit T-connector plugs into your vehicle's wiring harness, which is located in your rear cargo area, behind the driver's-side and passenger's-side tail lights. You will have to remove the rear scuff panel to access these connection points. 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.
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.
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.

Perfect for our transit van. super easy to install although the wiring was rather difficult to get right. Just the thing to pull our boat trailer with ten kayaks! and a great deal.
This is easiest wiring harness I have had to install on my Ford Transit. I will definitely be always using etrailer from now on, for all my wiring harness needs.
Perfect fit into existing wiring harnes s.
yet to install but quick shipping makes me a satisfied customer
Very easy and every thing fit. Good videos on websites to make installation easy
Easy to understand instructions and ins tall
This is an easy to install kit, and the install video made it even simpler. I chose to mount my wiring on the left doorpost, where it can easily be pulled out through the rear door weatherstripping when needed. I was able to keep all wiring inside the van compartment and frame rails. Two hopefully helpful comments:
* In order to mount to the door rail, it is necessary to splice in a couple of feet of wire to the green wire between the two light buckets. By cutting this wire, I was able to snake it through the frame tubing under floor behind the rear door latch. I did not have any wiring outside the vehicle.
* There is a wiring lug available on the side of the driver's seat, adjacent to the battery compartment, which may be a more convenient lug to attach the hot wire to. The video shows running the wire all the way to the engine compartment.
Best of luck.
Liked the kit but found a better way to install without cutting grommets. Mounted below drivers side tail light. See pics. Power wire was run all the way to the fuse box under hood instead of battery under drivers seat. This kept all wiring outside keeping all grommet seals intact, and saving time on removal of interior panels which are difficult with 15 passenger seating still installed.
Helpful people and the web site is easy to navigate.
Worked great and installation was simple to follow
Thanks
seems to work well
Wires to go from taillight to taillight are short. The video of the install even shows they are short. Simple fix and it’s a 5 star rating.
Good instructions. All worked as planne d.
My whole purchasing experience with this company was excellent. Customer service was great and product was exactly what I needed. Instructions for self install were precise and easy to understand. great experience.
This wiring kit fit perfectly, and having watched the install video previously made me look like I had installed a hundred of them. My customer chose to wait while I installed this and the hitch, and the whole process couldn't have gone smoother.
Worked just as advertised. Video tutorial was super detailed and made it easy to install.
Easy to install. Everything needed in the box and in good shape. Took about a half hour to install the wires to the tail lights. Haven’t tried it yet but fell comfortable that it will. I always buy from etraiier because they carry good quality products, give you video instructions and deliver the products in a timely manner in good condition.
Neither instructions nor installation video mentioned socket for metric bolts. Pliers are a simpler way to install 1/2 inch bolts than snake wires. Otherwise, installation was straightforward--a one person job with ratchet straps instead of a second set of arms.
Our previously installed harness quit working. Something got fried inside the converter. The part we ordered from etrailer was literally a snap to install and works exactly as it should. So my trailer lights are back in business! The price was right, shipping time was acceptable and it took me about an hour to remove the old harness and install the new.
Regarding installation on a Ford Transit: I've seen several comments about the difficulty of making connection to the battery, which is under the drivers seat. Our van has a remote positive terminal in the engine bay to make jump starting easier. Our original harness was wired to this terminal, so I just kept the wiring in place.
Arrived new in about 4 days. Great expe rience.
The harness is what you want to order. It makes for a clean, fast wiring experience. Two more butt connectors would finish the job, but as is the kit is nice.
Easy to install and works great
Thank you guys
Great service, excellent product at a fair price!
The only issue I had to deal with was mounting the harness box. I eventually gave up and used a wire tie to mount to existing hole. 44° may have been the issue with the double stick tape?
Other than my vehicle's panels and battery under driver's seat, the install went well.

I actually have not used the hitch yet. This is on a 350 Transit, I used once to haul my Indian. After installing one on my Cherokee, for the money, I had to put one on this too.
Very well assembled kit. I used the e trailer install video and followed it step by step. Although very informative the video and printed directions did not address Transit 150s with finished interiors. Unable to route my power cord along the wall I zip tied it underneath then ran the line to a 1/4" hole I drilled under the seat between the base and wheelwell upper edge. Completely hidden and a straight route to the battery under the seat. Total time about 1 1/2 hours.

Were glad to hear the install worked well for you. Youll want to make sure that you use a grommet or some silicone caulk to protect the wire where it passes through the vehicle firewall, the metal edge can abrade the wire over time and cause the copper conductor to short out on the metal.
