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 interior trim panels in your rear cargo area. 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.
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.
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.

Quickly and easily install a 4-way trailer connector on your vehicle 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.This wiring kit was a pain to install. I have installed one other Curt wiring kit, on a different car, that was done totally inside the trunk. Just plug & play. Why a wire has to be run thru the trunk floor, outside the car & all the way up to the battery is beyond me. Running that wire, sealing the exit point from the trunk, zip tying it in place & making sure it would be protected & not near hot or moving surfaces was a total pain. I was crawling around under the car for 3 hours! First I had the car on rear ramps then jacked up from the front. Does it work? Sure it does, but I know from experience that a properly designed kit it MUCH EASIER!!!!

Connection between trailer and car is poor. When I wiggle the connector, lights work intermittently, have to wiggle just right in order for lights to stay on. Looks like I will have to be replacing the two connectors this spring. For the price, this should work flawlessly.
Mike L - 04/17/2019I like that etrailer had a selection of kits for me to choose from. Product came as described, instructions were complete, durability seems fine. Phone contact with customer service was very positive, like walking into an auto parts store with friendly and helpful Parts staff. I refer people to etrailer when and where I can with no hesitation.
The harness was installed on a 2011 Nissan Altima. The online video was especially helpful and gave me an idea of what to expect during the installation. All connectors fit perfectly.
Pretty easy to install. Nice looking. My son did all the work.The wiring needed 12v install which was not easy to find in the trunk so we installed it on the fuse box and ran the line on the floor boards. But it does say to install it to the battery. Oh well. Nice product.
The wiring kit was complete and easy to install. My only concern was removing the tail light lens because I didn't know if I should pull straight out or to the side.
We installed the wiring as suggested and everything works very well. Thank you.
It is working very well, thank you.
As with other Curt products it was easy to install and it worked as advertised
Product was as advertised. Very easy to use and worked like a champ. Shipped on time no waiting and wondering.
This wiring harness that is almost a plug-n-play unit. I only needed to run a hot wire from the battery to the trunk. Total instal time was about 30 minutes.
FAST GREAT SERVICE. THANK YOU SO MUCH!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
great product
Perfect as always, doesnt get any bett er!!
