Installation
This custom-fit T-connector plugs into your vehicle's wiring harness, which is located in your rear cargo area. You will have to remove the trunk floor coverings and the rear scuff panel 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 is complete, the 4-way connector will be stowed stowed on a flat spot near your taillight, inside 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.

Very detailed and I am ready to DIY!

Didn't leave an immediate reviews b/c I didn't actually use it right away. Easy install and works flawlessly on small trailer. I didn't use the large gauge wire directly to the battery b/c I didn't need the electric brakes and I would have had to get dirty and break knuckles under the vehicle.
Very good service!
Great product, easy install. Video very helpful.
Only suggestions: use electric fish line to run cable inside frame and don’t hack at battery holder, simply remove lid and drill a small hole downward at corner, much better and aesthetic as well.
This kit fit well and works well, though I don't like opening the hatch and then passing the chord out every time I want to tow. So, I cut the wires, passed it through a drain plug on the bottom of the car, and spliced them all back together. I think this is just about a necessity if you're installing the 7 pin and brake controller, which I did. You can't hardly pass the four pin out the hatch every time you want to hitch up. All in all this is a great trailer wiring system. It fit great and was a fast install.
I ended up buying this because UHaul/Curt stopped selling the kit that matched my vehicle. The installation was straightforward. The quality is good. It has been a year and I have had no problems.

It is doing well after another year 2 total. Have used it for 3 x-country moving trips and several instances of hauling things around town. Electrical and mechanical have worked fine.
The wiring harness for the hitch I install on my 2017 Volvo XC60 R-Design works great. The installation video made it a snap to get the harness installed. Having access to a lift made the running of the power wire to the battery very easy.
It was all good!!
excellent product with easy installation instructions!
Well documented installation for a person who has never installed a hitch. Quality materials, all for a fair price.
Excellent value, great customer service and quick shipping. Have done business with etrailer a few times and always satisfied.
works petfectly
Great products from a great company. This was not my first order and as always I was very satisfied. I really like your website. The information about your products on your site are excellent. Thanks
Kit was complete solution, works as advertised. I could have installed myself, but my local car guy did it for me and parts plus labor still a relative bargain.
Excellent service AND PRODUCT.. On time and in great shape!!
fits
U are superGood guys
The kit was easy to install. The only concern I had with it was the double-back tape. Neither side was sticky, so it was unusable.
had my mechanic install. looks and fits great.
