  • CURT
  • No Converter

Quickly and easily install a 4-way trailer connector on your vehicle 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

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 to access this harness.


Once installation is complete, the 4-way connector will be stowed beneath your vehicle, near the trailer hitch. A mounting bracket (sold separately) is recommended to keep the connector secure.


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.

We misread the instructions and threaded the wires wrong the first time. Just a minor glitch. Thank goodness I had a 4 wire tester and found we had left and right reversed. Other than that, it works excellent.

Very easy to install and worked great.

Easy installation my only problem, I had to chase the the welded threaded nuts on the SUV. Looks good. I can now hook a trailer up for small hauling jobs



by:

Hitch fit perfect. A friend and I got it installed easy once I retreaded the weld holes on the SUV. Five and a half years really corroded them. Wiring was smooth also. Will buy from here again



by:

Great idea , no splicing of wiring !



by:

Everything works perfect and was very easy to install



by:

Very, very easy install on both the hitch and trailer wiring harness.

Great product ,excellent fit ,easy install with help . Customer service is the best will recommend e trailer to everyone that needs hitches.
Thank you mike S for your help !



by:

I found the products I purchased from etrailer to be very good, easy to install at a reasonable price . I was pleased with my customer service from placing the order to delivery and follow up. I highly recommend etrailor and next time a purchase auto accessories I will start with etrailor.

Thank you for such a good product. I can get around on my scooter due to this hitch and wiring. I'm mobile again and not stuck in the house. :)

Being stuck in once place gets old really quickly! I'm so happy to know you're able to get out when you like again :)



by:

Good service is how a company reacts when things don't go quite to plan. Placed order for hitch, ball mount and wiring harness 8/5. Rec'd 8/7. But hitch flanges were bent up a bit. Chatted and Lakeiya, determined a replacement was in order. It shipped 8/7, rcv'd 8/9/ Wow!! 2 orders rec'd in 5 days. Printed ret'n label and got the old one to UPS for return. Everything fit great, got it all installed and looks great.... Thanks....



by:

Got my trailer hitch today and thing went on without a hitch. All ready cleaned out the the 12 mm weld nut threads with a tap. That was a three hour job by itself. Because the threads were all ready cleaned out with a tap (there is no way a wire brush and penetrating oil would ever work). The assembly went on without a hitch. Probably took me 2 hours at a relaxing pace. Used anti- seize on all threaded fasteners.



by:

Very easy install! Works great!



by:

Fantastic perfect fit easy to use and install 30 min install including reading the owner's manual for conflicts there were none. Trailer hitch and wiring fit my 2012 GMC Terrian like it was from the factory



by:

I installed a Curt hitch receiver on my new 2016 GMC Terrain. I then installed the wiring harness and it couldn't have been any easier. Took me about 20 minutes to install the harness. If all my projects were this easy, I would be a happy camper. Including photo of rear of the car with hitch. The harness connector is hidden up under the bumper cover so that it isn't just hanging down.



by:

I ordered this hitch & wiring kit for my 2012 GMC Terrain SLE 3.0 6 cylinder and it went on in less than 30 minutes! I ordered the hitch and wiring harness on Monday (Labor Day even) and the package arrived on Wednesday afternoon - WOW! Thank you eTrailer.



by:

It's great thanks for the great product easy to install



by:

The hitch and wiring harness arrived on time. One of the vertical brackets on the hitch had broken through the box due to UPS manhandling, but nothing was damaged. After re-tapping the welded bolts on my 2012 Terrain the hitch was on in 15 minutes. Fit perfectly and looks like it came with the vehicle. The wiring harness was hands down the easiest product that I have ever installed on any vehicle. I like how nothing needed to be cut or spliced. Took me all of 10 minutes to install. And it works perfectly! I am very happy wit the product and service I received from etrailer.



by:

Excellent product, very easy to do. I am not a fan of cutting into existing wiring, so this kit was the answer. It took less than a hour.

The Curt 2 inch hitch for my 2010 GMC Terrain was also an easy installation. All hardware was supplied and extra for situations that maybe encountered, i.e.., bolt holes not threaded from factory. The 2010 Terrain was all bolt on. What I especially like is the fact that it is totally hidden except for the receiver.



by:

This wiring harness is very easy to install. I had a bit of trouble getting the tail lights out of our 2012 equinox but with a a second set of hand they slipped out without doing any damage. I used extra zip ties and wire loom to help protect the wire. Be sure to keep it away from the exhaust if you have a V6 with duel exhaust tips. I modified a Curt rubber tube cover to secure the harness to the receiver. I made sure to leave extra wire in behind the hitch so that I can pull it through when I need it.



by:

The wire harness was well engineered and manufactured. Installation was just as easy as the video and instructions said it would be!



by:

Product arrived in a timely manner with one of the hangers fully exposed out side the box. The heavy construction of the Hitch receiver proved to be too much for the delivery process and the unit was in perfect condition. I viewed the video and started the job of installation. Took me about 1 and a half hours to complete the job.
The design of the unit was such that no drilling was required and the included fish wire was a wonder tool bringing bolts and square hole locks to the proper hole down a hollow frame. The wiring kit was super easy to install with step by step instructions and with NO cutting wires. Sorry it took so long to install. At 82 years old I have slowed a bit. Now I can pull my Jon boat to the lake. Happy Camper.

Great! It was received in a short time, easy to install with great instructions and works well.



by:

I've seen many aftermarket hitches that are obviously not built for a specific car, and they look terrible when installed. The hitch I purchased from Etrailer.com was a perfect fit for my car. It was built by Curt Mfg., and was surprisingly easy to install. I had the wiring harness installed in about 45 minutes, and it just plugs into existing wiring (no splicing). And the hitch bolted onto the car with no cutting, drilling or hammering. It was done in about an hour. The finished installation looks like it came with the new car ! The process was much less expensive than having the dealer install it.
Excellent product !!

Still impressed with the installation and the good fit. I have hauled various stuff in my 6 by 6 trailer, up to about 2500 lbs. Works fine. Doesnt feel loose. Doesnt squeak. Had several compliments on the look and subsequent referrals.



by:

No rust on hitch and that is a big plus. Your product out does all other hitches that I have used over the years.



by:

This item works, came with zip ties and self tapping screw. They also have an instructional video on YouTube that was helpful. Thanks e-trailer! Now I can tow my boat safely knowing my trailer lights work properly.

  • Troubleshotting Curt Trailer Wiring Harness Not Fitting 2012 GMC Terrain
    Hey Edmond, the Curt trailer wiring kit part # C56210 that you have for your 2012 GMC Terrain would only fit if you have the factory tow package which it sounds like yours doesn't. What we know is that there are some OEM components needed to activate the tow package wiring that we unfortunately do not have access to. That said, what we can guarantee will work is the # 56094 which installs by plugging inline with the vehicle taillights. This is the for sure kit we can recommend that will work.

  • Recommended Hitch for a 2017 GMC Terrain
    Yes, the Curt Trailer Hitch item # 13591 will fit your 2017 GMC Terrain. However, I have a better option for you. I recommend the etrailer Hitch item # e98865. This hitch is identical to the Curt hitch with the exception of the superior matte coating that not only helps to prevent rust but will also blend in nicely beneath your Terrain's trim. This etrailer Hitch item # e98865 custom fit for your Terrain and bolts to it with included hardware. It is a class III hitch with a 2" receiver....

  • Recommended 4-Way Wiring Harness for a 2017 GMC Terrain w/out the Factory Towing Package
    I would be happy to help clear up the confusion. Since your 2017 GMC Terrain does not have the factory towing package you will need the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness item # 56094. This custom-fit T-connector plugs into your vehicle's wiring harness located behind the tail lights. This harness only works on the Terrain's without the towing package. I have linked an installation video below. I also recommend using the No-Drill Mount Bracket item # 18136 and the item # C42CR...

  • Is Dealer Programming Needed to Activate Tow Package Wiring in 2014 Chevrolet Equinox
    The Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness # C56210 that you referenced is intended for the Chevrolet Equinox that has the factory tow package. The connection point for this harness is behind the driver-side rear trim panel. The only thing you may need to do to activate this harness is install the required tow package fuses and/or relays IF they are not already in place. Check the power distribution box under the hood for any empty fuse holder location labeled 'trailer' or 'tow'. If your...

  • Does the Computer have to be Reset to Install a Curt Trailer Wiring Harness on a 2012 GMC Terrain
    I went over the installation instructions and you will not have to have the computer reset when you install the Curt wiring harness, # 56094, on your 2012 GMC Terrain. If you are apprehensive about it, you could always disconnect the negative battery cable prior to installing the harness. You will use any programmed information, like stereo presets, but that is easy enough to reset.

  • Trailer Hitch and Wiring for a 2014 Chevy Equinox
    Trailer hitches including Curt hitch # 13591 for your 2014 Chevy Equinox include the hitch itself and the installation hardware. Everything else is sold separately. This is done so that customer do not have to purchase a whole package and end up with parts they do not need. I also recommend etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop. It also includes a 1-7/8 inch ball, 2 inch ball,...

The trailer hitch that I recommend is the Curt Class III Trailer Hitch, # 13591. This hitch will save you some money over the Draw-Tite and Hidden Hitch Class III trailer hitches without sacrificing any...

  • Can Tongue Weight Capacity Be Added to Vehicle by Using Coil SumoSprings Custom Helper Springs
    Thank you for your purchase of etrailer 2-Inch Class III hitch # e98865 which is the highest-rated hitch offered for your 2014 Chevrolet Equinox. Although this hitch has a tongue weight (downward force) rating of 350-lbs some combinations of power chairs and carriers could exceed the hitch rating, or exceed the vehicle's own tongue weight (TW) rating. Vehicles like the Equinox that are primarily designed for passenger transport, rather than trailer towing, can have fairly low TW ratings....

  • Trailer Wiring Harness for 2014 Chevrolet Equinox Without Tow Package
    Since your 2014 Chevrolet Equinox does not have any tow package wiring you'll start with a 4-pole harness like # 56094 which is a simple plug-in installation at the car's taillights. This provides stop, turn and tail light signals for the trailer. From there to convert to a 7-way RV-style trailer socket you'll need our # ETBC7 kit. This kit includes all of the components needed to convert the 4-pole flat plug to a 7-way socket like # 37185. An installation video and article are linked...

  • Towing Capacity and Recommended Parts for 2012 Chevy Equinox V6

According to the owners manual, the 4 cylinder towing capacity is 1500 lbs but your V6 can tow 3500 lbs if your trailer has brakes. Without trailer brakes the max weight is 1000 lbs. If you don't have the towing equipment, I recommend the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # e98865. This is a nice and strong hitch that will allow for many ball mount and accessory...

  • Trailer Harness Wiring for 2012 Chevy Equinox
    If you do not have the factory tow package on your 2012 Chevy Equinox there is a harness that you can plug in behind the tail lights, the Curt T-Connector # 56094, which will give you a 4-way connector. If you instead needed a trailer end connector to plug into the harness on your Equinox you could use # H20046 for a 7-way or # A35W42B should you need a 4-way. I've added links to video reviews of each of these products for you to take a look at.

For trailer wiring the Curt harness part # 56094 that you referenced is a confirmed fit, but I would rather see you use the Tekonsha part # 118494 as it has circuit protection built into it that the Curt does not. If you wanted to do some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes...

The gross trailer weight is 4000-lbs when used with a weight distribution system and 3,500 when used without. The towing capacity for your 2017 Chevy Equinox varies depending on your engine size.

  • Can the Curt T-Connector Be Used To Bypass the Factory Trailer Wiring On a 2014 GMC Terrain
    Yes, the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector part # 56094 will bypass the factory trailer wiring on your 2014 GMC Terrain. This harness draws signal from the tail lights and is then powered by the battery so it will be completely independent of the factory trailer wiring. It will also not cause any harm to the factory trailer wiring or factory tail light wiring either. The Curt T-Connector part # 56094 is a confirmed fit for your 2014 GMC Terrain.

  • Hitch Recommendation for 2013 GMC Terrain
    The biggest difference between the discontinued Hidden Hitch part # 87572, and the Curt Hitch part # 13591 that you referenced is the round tube vs. square tube. Another difference is that the Draw-Tite hitch uses a couple more attachment points. Either would work great for you. If it was me, I would probably go with the Draw-Tite based on the price difference. To complete your towing setup you may also be interested in the Curt Trailer Wiring Harness part # 56094.

  • Troubleshooting Left Turn Signal Not Working After Installing Curt T-Connector 4-Way Harness
    I first recommend using a circuit tester like # PTW2993 to test the left turn signal/brake light pin on the newly installed 4-Way. You can have a buddy activate the function in the vehicle while you test the pin for power. If you get appropriate power at this pin, then the issue is actually on the trailer side and you will want to turn your attention there. On the trailer, check its 4-Way for any corrosion or debris built up inside the pins, cleaning as needed. Make sure the main ground...

    You will need a few things for a complete set up to tow a trailer on your 2014 Chevrolet Equinox. First, let's start with the trailer hitch: For your 2014 Chevrolet Equinox I recommend the Class III, 2 inch etrailer # e98865. Be sure to check your owner's manual to verify the towing capacity of your vehicle before you tow. It has a 2 inch hitch receiver opening (as opposed to 1-1/4 inch) which offers many more hitch mounted accessories to choose from when you're not towing your trailer....

For this I recommend the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # 56094.

For a hitch you also might be interested in the Curt Hitch part # 13591. For ball mounts I recommend the etrailer Ball Mount Kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts, 2 balls, a hitch pin with clip, and a carrying bag.
