Features to know about

Plug-In Convenience for Seamless Towing: Custom T-Connector Installation

Say goodbye to cutting, splicing, or tapping into your vehicle's wiring. This custom-fit Curt T-Connector Harness plugs directly into your vehicle's existing tow package wiring. With this plug-and-play solution, installation is a breeze and your 7-way trailer connection remains fully functional, allowing you more time for your adventures and less time worrying about setup.

Ultimate Towing Versatility: 5-Pole Flat Trailer Connector

Whether you're towing a boat with a 5-pole connector or a typical 4-way flat trailer, this connector's got you covered. The additional fifth pin provides essential access to reverse lights, perfect for surge brake trailers. It's designed to meet all your towing needs without hassle, ensuring your trailer’s signal and brake lights work flawlessly.

Durability Meets Protection: Included Dust Cap with Grease Recommendation

Protect your electrical connections from weather and corrosion with the provided dust cap. For an even longer lifespan, a dab of grease on the plugs prevents moisture and debris from creeping in, keeping all connections clean and reliable, journey after journey.

Perfect Alignment Every Time: Maintains Factory 7-Way for Multiple Uses

This custom T-connector doesn’t just give you a 5-way flat connector; it retains the factory 7-way connection's functionality. You can run multiple trailer lights seamlessly or add fun, like an LED light bar, without altering your factory settings. Keep your truck looking slick while enjoying every bit of functionality you could need.

Designed for Your Vehicle: Custom Fit Every Time

Specifically designed to fit a range of vehicles perfectly, including models like the 2016 Chevy Colorado. This T-connector effortlessly integrates into your factory setup, ensuring a straightforward and snug fit that secures its place firmly, supporting your truck’s sleek aesthetics while offering superb functionality.

Hassle-Free Reverse Light Setup: 5th Pin for Reverse Light Circuit

Want to add extra lights or a backup camera without slicing into wires? The fifth pin delivers a ready-to-go reverse light circuit. Have confidence when you reverse out of tight spots or add modern accessories like a tailgate LED light bar to enhance your vehicle’s utility and safety without tampering with the original wiring.

Product was as advertised, and installation took about 15 minutes. Slight delay because I had a 5th wheel wiring harness already piggybacked in place. This adapter saved me hours or wiring a new plug.

Had problems with plugs reverse connection. I could not back my trailer up as there wasnt current to the reverse solenoid. After hours of trying to figure out why, I took the harness out and discovered that it was assembled incorrectly. I fixed the wire locations and now it works. Giving it 1 star now as it cost me half a day.Poor quality inspection.Steve A.,

I've ordered from etrailer a number of times before. Their descriptions of the equipment, in this case a 7 pin to 5 pin T , is very clear and avoids disappointment. This was the exact adapter I needed. I've had quick shipping and no regrets.

I'm using the adapter to add an LED stop/backup strip to my 2020 RAM 1500. The 5 pins are needed to pickup the backup lights. I could have tapped into the backup lights but the new electronics in the truck would notice the additional current draw. The 7 pin harness has the signals needed and the electronics monitoring the trailer signals is tolerant of different loads.

2001 Chevrolet Silverado

My 2001 Silverado factory tow package didn't include the 4 pin plug. Not that its needed often but I wanted to install an LED tailgate light bar and didn't want to tap into wires as they can corrode here in Ohio. Purchased this and its perfect. Nice, tight fit to keep water out of the plugs, and has plenty of wire to reach anywhere it would be needed. Now my LED bar can just plug in! Awesome product and super simple to install in seconds. Thank guys!



by:

This was the second one of this product that I purchased. Both worked exactly as intended with very easy installation. I saw a previous review that said they had to do some rewiring, I believe their trailer was not wired correctly as both of the products I purchased worked immediately. I would not hesitate to buy this again the next time I accidentally rip it off my truck.

The product I got for didn’t last two months. But the wiring harness I picked up from y’all was the right thing and work very well it’s still installed on the vehicle

Made a nice clean installation. Now I can use factory bumper outlet for My slide-in camper and the new 5-way flat connector for my boat trailer!
Thanks Bob.



by:

Easy to install and worked first time, seems well made and should last. Now I can stop using the adapter for my boat trailer and just plug straight in.

That will fit your vehicle if you have the factory connector. If you do not have that connector then part # HM40655 is what you would need.

  • Will Curt T-Connector Wiring Harness for Factory Tow Package C55384 Fit 2015 Ram 1500 Factory Wiring
    Yes, the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness for Factory Tow Package - 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # C55384 will plug in line with the factory 7-Way trailer connector on a 2015 Ram 1500. I have linked a video showing an example installation on a different truck.

  • 7-Way Trailer Wiring Recommendation for 2019 Honda Ridgeline
    If you are looking for a 7-way trailer wiring connector for the rear of your 2019 Honda Ridgeline the correct part number is # 118288 which comes with everything needed to install on your vehicle. The # C56584 is a kit designed to plug inline with 7-way to provide a 5-way.

  • Parts Needed to Use 4-Way and 7-Way with 2023 Ram 1500
    Hey Ron, it sounds like you have the 7/4-way connectors that open from the sides which don't allow both to be open at the same time like the # N40975. So you have a couple options. You could replace the setup with the part # 30955 which I actually have on my Tahoe that does easily allow both connectors to work at same time or you could install the 4-way adapter part # C56584 which installs inline with the 7-way connector of your truck to give you an additional 4-way.

  • Does Curt 7-Way to 5-Way Provide Reverse Light Circuit
    Yes, the 5-way that the Curt 7-way to 5-way adapter # C56584 provides does have a 5th pin that has the reverse light circuit like you are needing. So the pin on the one side of the connector that has the blue wire does carry the reverse light circuit. I attached a review video link for this for you to check out as well.

  • Parts Needed to Install 7-Way in 2014 Audi Q7
    You'll need to start with a 4-way first to install a 7-way since your vehicle doesn't have pre-wiring. For that you would want the # 119250KIT. Now if your trailer does not have brakes all you would need is the part # 37185 as an adapter to convert the 4-way to a 7-way. If you do have trailer brakes you would need the # ETBC7 instead of the # 37185 and a brake controller. This kit comes with everything needed to wire up the 7-way and install a brake controller.

  • Installing a 7-Way Trailer Connector on a 2009 Ford F-250
    If you are looking for a replacement 7-way trailer connector for your 2009 Ford F-250, you can use either the Tow Ready Replacement Multi-Tow 7-Way and 4-Way Connector, # 74682, or the Pollack Replacement 7-way Socket, # PK11893. Keep in mind, these will only work if your truck came with a factory 7-way connector and you are simply looking for a replacement connector. If your truck only has a 4-way flat connector and you are looking to upgrade to a 7-way way connector, then I recommend...

  • 4-Way Trailer Connector Recommendation for a 2004 GMC Sierra
    Your 2004 GMC Sierra should have come with a round 7-way at the rear of vehicle mounted in the bumper by the license plate. If you have this and are looking for a 4-way as well you can get the part # C56584. This will install in line with your 7-way and will give you a 4-way you can use. Or if you are missing the 7-way you could use the # 74682 as a replacement. This also comes with a 4-way connector mounted to the side of the 7-way.

  • Can the Curt T-Connector 7-way to 5-Way be Used with Lightbar that Has Reverse Circuit
    Yes, if your vehicle has a 7-way installed on it that has the reverse light circuit active the part # C56584 that you referenced can install in line with it and allow you to have a fully functional 5-way with active reverse light circuit. You could then use it with the light bar you have at the rear of your vehicle as well.

  • Will the Curt T-Connector Harness for Factory Tow Package with 5-Way Work On a 2018 Ford F-150
    Yes, the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness for Factory Tow Package part # C56584 will fit a 2018 Ford F-150 and it tees into the factory harness so you can still use the bumper trailer connector alone with it.

  • 7-Way to 5-Way Adapter To Add Rear Light Strip On 2019 Nissan Frontier
    I took a look at the factory wiring on the 2019 Nissan Frontier and factory tow plug wiring is located along the driver's side frame rail behind the rear bumper. Since the connectors are square the Curt part # C56584 cannot connect to the factory wiring in the Frontier. The Curt harness is designed to plug in line with the 7-way on the vehicle but the factory 7-way on the Frontier is not 2 pieces so it does not come apart to accept the Curt harness.

  • Recommended 5-Way Connector for 2012 GMC Sierra 2500
    We do have a trailer connector similar to the Hopkins # 30955, but with a 5-Way connection as well, with the Hopkins Endurance # HM48470. This particular connector features 7-Way, 5-Way, and 4-Way plugs. This issue is that this would need to be hardwired to the wiring on your truck, as there is not a custom-fit, plug-in model available. A better option for your 2012 GMC Sierra will be to use the Curt 5-Pole T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness # C56584 if you have the factory 7-Way. This...

The only 4-Way trailer wiring options we offer for your 2013 Infiniti JX35 are hardwired install kits like the Curt Powered Tail Light Converter Kit with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # C56190KIT which we had the chance to install on a 2013 JX35 just like yours.

  • Adding 4-Pole Trailer Connector to 2020 Chevy Sillverado Trail Boss in Addition to Factory 7-Way
    The Curt # C56584 you'd looked at would work perfectly. At the back of the existing 7-way, find where the tow package harness plugs into the back of the 7-way. There will be a gray clip that you will slide out, which will allow you to unplug the harness from the back of the 7-way. Then, you'd plug the Curt # C56584 inline with that connection. It's a very simple installation that should only take a few minutes. I've linked you to an install video for an identical wiring harness. The procedure...

    I do have an option for you but you won't be able to find a reverse circuit on the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness for Factory Tow Package - 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector part # C55384 since it only has a 4-pole. For this, you'll need a 5-pole like the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness for Factory Tow Package - 5-Pole Flat Trailer Connector part # C56584. The reverse wire in this harness is blue.

  • Installing 7-Way Trailer Connector and Brake Controller in 2014 Dodge Grand Caravan
    To install a 7-way trailer connector on your van, you'd first install a functional 4-pole connector, like part # C56331. Once that's installed, you can install a 7-way by plugging the # 37185 adapter into the 4-pole. Once the white wire is grounded, the lighting functions on your 7-way will all be functional. If your trailer has electric brakes, and you want them operable you'll need to install a brake controller. For a basic but easy to use controller, I'd recommend the Tekonsha Primus,...

    I spoke with Curt and they informed me that the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness part # C56584 uses 12 gauge wire for the ground and then the rest are all 14 gauge which is plenty for most trailers. I have personally never heard of any issues with this harness related to the gauge of wire used.

    This will depend on your truck Dave but my recommendation is to always wire the lights into a powered converter like the Curt # C59236. This will not only combine separate turn/brake signals to work on the same light but it will also prevent you from pulling to much power through your stock harness and cause a wiring issue on the truck. The power for the turn/brake lights on the Light # STL68RB will then come from your battery rather than the factory harness. If your truck already has a...
