2004 Ford Van - Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector
- 4 Flat
- Trailer Hitch Wiring
- CURT
- No Converter
Quickly and easily install a 4-way trailer connector on your Ford Van with this custom harness. T-connector plugs directly into existing wiring - no cutting, splicing or tapping required.
Features:
- Provides a 4-way flat trailer connector at the back of your vehicle to power your trailer's signal lights
- Compatible with 5-pole, 6-pole and 7-pole adapters (sold separately)
- Connects quickly and easily - no cutting or splicing of wires
- Locate connection points behind tail lights
- Plug in T-connector
- Comes with dust cap for 4-way flat connector
- Limited 1-year warranty
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 and interior trim paneling to access this harness.
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.

Worth spending the little extra to get this custom made quality kit. It was very easy to install and is still working great.

Very durable and easy installation. I’ve made multiple 400 mile trips with 6x12 uhaul trailer full of custom cabinets (easily a few thousand lbs) and have had no trouble at all. I installed the hitch in about an hour in the dead of winter. Would’ve taken half the time if it wasn’t so cold.

The product is great. It went on a 2013 Ford E250. Loved the factory connections. It made the install easy. I ran the harness down through the opening for the spare tire lock instead of letting it hang out the underside of the rear door. Also, I ran the driver-side line under the plastic molding along the floor as opposed to going over the door frame. I had to do that since I ran the harness out the spare tire lock opening. I wanted this harness to remain in place all of the time without worrying about damaging it during loading and unloading.

Still good. No problems with this product, at all.

Excellent experience. Customer service person was very knowledgeable. She found the right part for my van quickly. She asked several questions to make sure I was getting the right pat and also everything else I would need for the install. She shipped the hitch and electrical assembly the same day for next day delivery. As soon as it shipped she sent my tracking number and followed up with me a soon as it arrived to make sure everything was good.
My mechanic had no problem with the install - perfect fit. This is my third order with etrailer. I'll ever buy any where else.

The product and price is fine. The service by etrailer is terrible and it took a month to receive my order. I called in to cancel the order and they sent me two wiring harnesses (???) and also didn't cancel the order. I have emailed three times trying to return the items and no one follows through. Most of the correspondence is automated with fake human names so the buyer can't tell if they are talking to a human or robot. I will never buy from etrailer again.

I have ordered from this site before and never had any problems. I was disappointed in this purchase though because it describes the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector - C56020 to fit ANY 04-13 Econoline Van which is not true. It DOES fit any passenger or cargo Econoline Van. If you own a Regency(conversion style) van it does not fit without extreme modifications. Etrailer.com is an amazing company and has always been easy and great to deal with! I love this site and will continue to use them!

Our hitches and wire kits are designed to fit OEM production vehicles, as they roll off the assembly lines. Aftermarket modifications, including conversions, make changes to the vehicle and some can affect compatibility. A van conversion involves major modifications including changes to the electrical systems.
by: Bob12/05/2022
Within 3000 miles the wires came loose from the connections and shorted the light system, unfortunately withing a few minutes of this happening, I was stopped by a office. I could have gotten a ticket but instead was given a warning. Had to re wire on the spot around the connections to be able to move the van.

fit and worked perfectly. Would be nice if a piece of sheathing to protect the wires where it has to go over pinch welds behind the plastic trim panels were included. Otherwise a dozen wraps with electrical tape takes care of that.

Works perfectly. Lookig back however I wish Id gone to the trouble of installing a 7-way brake harness
by: Craig DiCiancia07/07/2014
Fine. The directions and video could be improved since no one mentioned the back up lights really did not need to be involved with the connections. Just the signal and brake and lights are unplugged and replugged. Textbook vs reality.

Item was fine but etrailer was really challenged at providing customer service. The automated system made mistakes and the rep sent two parts on accident and eventually I was able to return but it wasted some of my work time

Connectors did not fit through grommeted opening on floor. Wound up cutting the grn/wh wire and fed from top down then spliced them together. Not ideal but better than enlarging opening in floor. Connectors on taillights fit well. Overall happy with item.

For this harness you would want to remove the grommet and cut a slit large enough to route the custom wiring harness though. I recommend viewing our video install on a 2011 Ford van.

This harness is truly plug-n-play. Couldn't be any easier. If you know how to use a screwdriver, you can install this. Put it on an '07 E-350 Ford van, and it works great. Karen @ etrailer knew just what I needed & recommended this product, and I'm glad she did. Thank you Karen!!! 1st time ordering from etrailer, and I will certainly order from them again!!

The plug-n-play wiring harness has been working flawlessly. I couldnt be any more satisfied. I also ordered a custom fit hitch receiver at the same time, and it has been great. Installation instructions were very clear, and installed it in about 10 minutes with no drilling whatsoever. Just what I wanted & needed. The best part... everything was shipped to my doorstep and I saved over $100 from my local auto parts store. Im a very satisfied customer, and have recommended etrailer to all my friends.

Easy to install, good fit to existing wiring, although the pigtail to the trailer plug could be a little longer (6" more?), but long enough for my trailer wiring to reach the plug. I think I should have bought the unit that had a control box included, because my turn signals flash as if there's a bulb out from the extra draw to the trailer (only turn signals, NOT with the 4-ways . . . ). Not a big deal, gets the job done, the fast signal is a small issue.

2006 Ford E-250
Customer service was great. Had to call them to discuss my needs, they knew what they were talking about and sold me the right parts. Install was simple when following the instructional video they have on this site. Very nice having that resource, more helpful than a phone call because you can pause it. :) I installed a flat four and a seven pole with a trailer brake controller to my 2006 E-250 van, worked the first time with no blown fuses like the old days.
Peace,

Simplified the addition of a towing package. Wires allow electrons to flow effortlessly while creating a warm glow across the resistive lighting elements. Havent been so happy since the day of my wedding, birth of my son! If I had use for them I would purchase like 100! Best financial decision I could have made and a very solid product!

I ordered a Curt trailer hitch receiver and the Curt T connector wiring harness from e-trailer for one of our work vans. It was here in a couple days. I watched an installation video on e-trailers website and had everything installed, including the wiring harness in about 30 minutes. It was a piece on cake. E-trailers website makes it very easy to find what equipment to use on your rig. I will most certainly go through e-trailer again!!!!!!!!!!!
by: Martin03/26/2014
As promised the harness wired up directly to the existing vehicle wiring harness the instructions were clear. Also the trailer hitch was very easy to install, and the video on your website is excellent. I would certainly recommend these products and your company to anyone in search of a trailer hitch.

This product is great! After buying the standard U-Haul wiring kit, and then spending hours taking apart the back of my E-350 and the wiring bundles only to find out that the wiring colors didn't match what I needed to splice into, I gave up and did some more on-line research. Thankfully I found this product, which is made by the same manufacturer as my hitch. Installation was straightforward and went without a hitch (no pun intended), and it worked perfectly on the first try and ever since. Thanks!

Simple installation if used as suggested. I installed this a little bit different than suggested. This was intended to be installed and routed into the cargo area of the E350 van. We didn't want the wires in that area due to constant use and fear of damage. We drilled holes under the tail lights to route wires out side the van. This also required that we cut the harness wires after the connectors to route the wirw. Installed we had no issues. This just took a little thought to make it work to our requirements.

- Can Curt 4-Way T-Connector Be Secured Near 2012 Ford Van Hitch ReceiverThere sure is a way to route the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness # C56020 on your 2012 Ford Van so that it stays installed next to your hitch receiver. I'm attaching an installation video of this wiring kit on a 2013 Ford Van that you can follow to accomplish this. I also recommend picking up the mounting brackets # 18144 and # 18140 to secure the 4-Way next to your hitch receiver.

This is a quick and easy installation on your van. This plugs directly into your existing wiring and requires no cutting or splicing. I have attached an installation video of this wiring on a 2006 E-250 you can check out. You will then want a 4-way to 7-way like part # 30717.

view full answer... - Brake Controller Not Getting Power on a 2010 Ford E350 VanThe first place that I recommend checking when you lose power to something would be your fuse box. A blown fuse can cause the power to not reach your brake controller. If your fuses look okay then it might be easier to find a wire that is connected to your battery and trace it back to your brake controller. If you can find the right wire this way, then you can check for any signs of corrosion, exposed, or damaged wiring. As for the connector in the picture that you sent, there are no...

- Brake Controller Does Not Power Up on a 2006 Ford E-450 VanJust to be sure, the Hopkins harness that you should be using for the 2006 Ford E-series van is # HM47715. Make sure that the factory fuse for the brake controller is installed. Use the van owner's manual to find the fuse and relay locations for the tow package wiring. I checked the owners manual online and it looks like there are 2 brake controller fuses. Inside the in-cab panel there is one in location 39. Under the hood there is one in location 10.

When raising the spare tire back into place, you might need to push it toward the front of the vehicle in order to clear the back of the receiver tube, but the tire will still fit neatly under the vehicle.

You might look under the rear end of your vehicle to see if you can find the round socket. If you do not have a factory 7-way already you should not find one unfortunately.

There are 2 connectors under the dash and you want to make sure you use the...

To complete your towing setup you will also need a vehicle wiring harness # C56020, and a ball mount # AMSC2HD, 2" hitch ball # A-90 or 2-5/16" hitch ball # 19286, and hitch pin and clip # PC3.

Because of the rear step bumper you will likely need to use a ball mount with a longer shank AND a drop on it like the Draw-Tite # 4283 in order to tow a trailer, but that won't effect the fit of the hitch otherwise.

In order to determine if this would fit or not you will need to measure the bolt holes from frame to frame. If they measure 38-5/8" then this hitch will work for you. Based on that 41-1/2" measurement to the outside there is a good chance this will work. If not, then the other option would be a more universal hitch like the # C13701. This fits frame widths from 18" - 51" which will be perfect for your application....
