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 some interior paneling 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 in complete, the 4-way connector will be stowed in an out-of-the-way location within your trunk.
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.I read Craig's review from the site on his internal routing install for the power cable and decided to do that as well. It definitely took some time to do right and would not recommend for those of us who do not have the tools, inclination and time :). I used the existing driver side grommet in the trunk light harness area to fish the power cable up and ran it along the bottom foot rails. I then fished the line through the existing hood release cable hole as well and into the engine compartment. I ran a couple cable bases with self tappers in spots for use with zip ties and used some additional split wire tubing to prevent against vibration chafe. It works great! Thank you etrailer!
The kit works as expected. As others have mentioned the green wire that runs to the passenger side tail light is just slighty short. Would be great if Curt would update the kit with a longer wire and it would be perfect.
This is the third one I have done on the same make and model- the green wire is long enough!(Finally!) I'm so happy I can say it is a 5 star now. I recommend you run the power wire through the passenger compartment and into the dash fuse box. Much easier than trying to route outside the car to the engine bay. Perfect plug in for the lights.
I needed to make a trip across country in a hurry but replaced my pickup truck with a Nissan Rogue (w/o a trailer hitch). Working with etrailer we found the right hitch for my vehicle, I purchased it and had my repair shop install it all (hitch and wiring harness). the installation was accomplished easily (feedback from my shop) and I loaded down my trailer and towed it across country with ZERO issues. The etrailer folks really know their QUALITY products. If you are considering adding a hitch to your vehicle, please look them up, you cannot go wrong.
Thank you etrailer, you folks were a real lifesaver.
The trailer hitch went in with no problem. The light kit did need the added wire to reach the passenger side. You would think Curt would have corrected that. Thank you for your service.
Everything is great! Works good! Had to add 6 inches to the green wire for the passenger side and did not come with a 10 amp fuse….. but install was easy and it works great!!!
This trailer wiring is a great help, but like most others the green wire for the right side is way too short. I knew this going in so I expected it. Still the manufacturer should correct it. I wired mine from the inside to keep it neat and tidy. More work, but worth it to me.
This harness works well. The rating is due to the fact that even though the harness says it is made for a Nisson Rouge the wires are too short to use without cutting and adding more length. I was prepared to do this because I saw other reviews pointing out this issue.
Package may have been opened previously as it was taped shut. Had to splice about 2 feet more to get the wiring to reach the right tail light. Installation of the wiring took a little bit longer than the hitch install. Once installed, the wiring worked perfectly.
Looked everywhere for a 4 pin wire harness for my 2021 Nissan Rouge. Perfect fit, easy install took less than an hour fit to finish. Photos shows T-connectors separated and connected. Power was an easy run to the battery and ground was simply to chassis. I pulled the 4pin tail to the receiver… done! … First time installing any type of trailer wiring harness.
The hitch fit perfectly & was easy to install.I am a 75 year old man, had no trouble installing it by myself.
I know I can give you a five star rating from previous experiences and videos supplied from your site. A few paint scratches from shipping but that is to be expected with such a heavy odd shape. A small gloss black paint stick will take care for that. A very easy installation. Should I thank Nissan or Etrailer for that.
Connector harness worked perfectly. The green wire for the passenger side is about 24 inches short and had to splice in a piece. Not difficult to do.
Surprised at how fast it came. Will schedule installation for next week
Very satisfied with each hitch/light kit I have purchased from etrailer.
The wire to the right taillight is too short. There is absolutely no way for it to reach. Luckily there is extra wire from the wire that runs to the battery for the splice. Other than this the installation was fairly easy with the pictures on line. The papers that come with the harness have black and white photos that are too dark to make out.
Green wire to short on wiring harness …easy fix. Fished in most of wiring, just a few tywraps, no clips needed…
Fit perfect. I ordered the wrong one at first. Sent it back then the right one came in a few days later. Took me about an hour and a half to complete it. Wasn’t hard at all the video shows you exactly what to do. I would say the toughest part was running the black wire to the battery which wasn’t really hard but I was underneath the car doing it. Fit great and worked great I am very pleased. Also customer service was amazing
This harness works great. Plugs are perfect and instructions fair. The green wire that goes to the passenger side tail light is too short and must be spliced. Seems crazy you have to do this but there's no way around it. It's a fairly involved project but better than risking cutting a modern wiring system. Route the power wire through the cabin to the fuse box. Trying to peirce the fire wall and access the battery is way too much work and likely will damage something.
Arrived 2 days early. This came shipped in several layers of plastic wrap along with the light kit, cap and small bracket. It was delivered with no damage or scratches. It was fairly easy to install with the help of my son and a floor jack. we'll do the light kit installation another day. Everything lined up perfectly. We did remove the to plastic pins to make it easier to flex the plastic bumper. trim out of the way. I would recommend it.
Good value, fast delivery. Easy install ation!
It was so good for my 2023 rouge that i ordered the same thing for my 2024 rouge.
Absolutely the best place to order from! The video's were very helpful! Thanks everyone from Etrailer you did a great job yet again!
This is my second Nissan Rogue install. The first was a 2011, for which I already had a power cable for an amplifier that I wasn't using any more. I really prefer an inside install vs running everything outside. On this 2023 Rogue I jacked up the left front, removed the wheel, then popped all the plugs holding the fender, plus a couple of screws on the little mud flaps. I used the hole for the hood release cable to get the power cable inside. It is well protected by the fender so I'm not worried about water ingress. It feeds in behind the far left of the dash behind the fuses and was easy to pull through. I then ran it along both door foot step trim pieces and through the corner of the back seat into the spare tire area. For the light wiring I used the grommet on each side where the tail light harness passes through the body. I used heavy waterproof electrical tape to re-wrap each grommet to seal out water. The green wire with the passenger side connectors was plenty long enough keeping the control box inside by the spare tire. My last step was to insert the fuse in the red battery connector after everything was connected and buttoned up. Attached my trailer lights and everything was perfect!

Absolutely perfect so far! I always check all my lights before I go with the trailer and it’s been great!
This kit worked fine for my 2023 rogue sv. However. The wire running between the driver and passenger side taillights is too short and needs extended. This is also an issue with the uhaul kit. Just seems counterintuitive to have to extend a wire on a vehicle specific kit.

Regarding the instructions, I wonder if you would fine the pdf easier to read. Its located at the end of all the product information. Regarding the length of the wires, I asked the manufacturer, and you arent the only one having this issue based on other reviews. The manufacturer said to be sure to route the wire on top of the bumper beam. If you go under the bumper beam, it can use up a lot more wire length and cause it to be too short.
