Features to know about

Installs Without Cutting or Splicing: Plug-In 4-Flat Harness

Hooking up trailer lights doesn’t have to mean cutting into your truck’s wiring. The Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector plugs straight into the factory tail light connectors. Everything fits the way it should, no splicing or tracing wires required. Once installed, you’ve got a clean 4-flat connector ready for your trailer’s running lights, turn signals, and brake lights.

Solves Grounding Problems: Dedicated White Ground Wire to Frame

Bad grounds are one of the most common reasons trailer lights flicker or fail. This harness includes a white ground wire designed to attach directly to clean, bare metal on the frame. That solid connection keeps voltage consistent across all circuits so your turn and brake lights work every time. It’s a simple but critical fix for many of the electrical gremlins that show up when towing.

Keeps Power Flowing Right: Built-In Converter Maintains Correct Signal

Some vehicles send out separate signals for stop and turn lights, which can confuse trailers that use a single wire for both. The Curt harness includes an integrated converter that combines those signals properly so your trailer lights work like they should. If you ever test it with a circuit tester, you’ll see full power on each of the four functions when everything is wired right.

Ready for 7-Way Upgrades: Works as the Base 4-Way Connection

If you plan to add a brake controller or upgrade to a 7-way setup later on, this harness gives you the foundation you need. Pair it with a 4-to-7-way adapter kit and you can easily add electric brakes or 12V power without redoing your wiring. It’s a plug-and-play starting point that makes future towing upgrades simple.

by:

Great product and very easy to install. Very simple instructions that are easy to follow. There's no cutting or splicing involved it just plugs into vehicles existing harness.



by:

I really didn't expect this harness to be so easy to install since nothing is ever this easy. It worked just like it should and would recommend it to anyone looking for a simple solution for trailer wiring.



by:

The hitch came quickly and complete. I bought this hitch because it is an American made product. I was surprised how simple the installation was for one person to do. Thanks for making such a nice product.



by:

This product worked as advertised and delivery was flawless and fast. These people know their business. Website is top notch!
Installation was so simple even a teacher could do it. Uhaul tried twice to hook up a trailer harness, neither time worked. Thanks to everyone at etrailer.com!

by:

this is my 3rd one in 15 years they really work well when there working there are a lot of reviews in trailer wireing about trailer rite side brake lite not working they say check ground if its a ground problem you would have trouble with other circuits please check the t-connector for power on both sides first the box shorts out not supplying power to all wires



by:

The wiring was correct for the truck plugins but the 4-way flat connector doesn't fit in the housing on the tailgate so it just blows in the breeze. When calling customer service through Curt they want you to buy a bracket they make. This is the third harness I've used on this truck and all of the others fit perfectly in the tailgate housing. Wouldn't buy again for a perfect OEM fit.



by:

Plug and play on my 2010 Canyon. Dropped the spare tire, opened tail light connector, plugged it in. Made a stud to ground to (clean, good grounds are very important). I found a perfect recess to “tuck” the module into. Add a wire tie, wal-la, trailer light harness.



by:

Install was a breeze, worked flawlessly during the first tow. Appears to be a high quality product with good fit and finish. What more can I say... It is exactly what I needed and expected. I used a bit of extra wire loom I had laying around to add extra protection to the wires going to the plug, but beyond that everything was right there in the package thats needed to get up and running.

No problems so far with a years use. Again can not stress how simple the install was. Hard to go wrong with their products.

(The Good)
The wiring harness is easy
to install.
(The Bad)
The converter does not work properly on the trailer lights.
Brake & four way flasher lights work properly.
However parking lights don't come on. Also when the left or right turn signal is put on both of the trailer lights flash.
Truck is a 2005 Chevy Colorado Crew Cab Z71 without the 7-way connector

For the parking lights, the first step would be to find if the problem is in the vehicle wiring or in the trailer wiring itself. Use a circuit tester on the pin of the trailer connector fed by the brown wire while the vehicles headlights are on. If the pin shows power, the wiring harness and converter is fine. If it does not show power, and the connections are fully seated in place, then the wiring harness is faulty and should be replaced. The issue with both turn signals firing at the same time is a classic manifestation of a ground problem. Make sure the trailers main ground connection on the trailer tongue is securely fastened and not loose or corroded. Make sure each trailer lamp is securely grounded to the trailer frame, and that each connection is not corroded. Ive linked you to a help article about troubleshooting trailer wiring, I hope youll find it helpful.

Easy install, tested and worked as expe cted!

I recently moved to the Big Island of Hawaii where obtaining parts for vehicles has been very difficult. I have shy-ed away from utilizing the car dealers because their mark up on products are outrageous and turned to online shopping. I purchased a trailer and needed to replace the wiring harness on my truck in order to get my trailer street legal. I found the harness I needed on etrailer.com. The cost was very reasonable and they didn't charge me an arm and leg for shipping. Honestly I could have purchased two harness for the price the car dealership quoted me at. Normally when I purchase items online I receive it in 7 to 10 days. So when I got my box in THREE DAYS I was elated! I had no issues replacing the bad harness. All the electrical to the trailer WORKED! I wasted no time getting my trailer's safety inspection and registered so I can use it. Thank you ETRAILER!

  • Where is the Ground Wire for the Tail Lights on a 2004 Chevy Colorado
    If you look at were the white wire is on T-harness # C55510, that is the ground on it. So the corresponding pin and the wire connected to it would be the ground on the vehicle tail light wiring. It looks like you would have to pull back the protective covering on the vehicle side harness (where the Curt harness plugs in) to even see the wires. If the problem is happening with and without the T-harness installed then that could indicate a bent or broken pin in the vehicle connectors.

  • Recommended 7-Way Wiring Harness for a 2007 Chevy Colorado
    I would be happy to help you. If your customer's Colorado doesn't have a 7-way connector it means they don't have the factory towing package so you will need to add two harnesses to get a 7-way. No one makes a single harness that will give you a 7-way connector. The first wiring harness you will need is the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector item # C55510. This harness is custom fit and plugs into existing wiring located behind the rear bumper on...

  • Troubleshooting Curt 55510 Trailer Wiring Harness with Low Voltage
    Your problem could be the converter box. Test the wires on the harness before the box and see if you get the same voltage. If you do then the box isn't the issue and it's somewhere in the wiring before that. In this case you'll need to keep tracing the wires towards the front of the truck to find the problem. If the voltage on the # C55510 harness before the converter box is normal and still low at the connector then the converter is bad.

  • How Should Peterson Combination Tail Lights V457L and V457 Be Wired To Trailer?
    Based on the light illuminating and only having the issue once new lights were installed the issue is on the camper side of things and not in your 2005 Chevrolet Colorado. When installing the Peterson Trailer Tail Light # V457L and # V457 you should connect the brown wire on the tail lights to the tail light wire on the trailer (Brown wire on the 4-way you are using to test) and the green wire on the tail light to the yellow/green wire on the trailer (Yellow and green wire on the 4-way...

    First, check the connections on the vehicle that plug into the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector, # C55510. If one of the pins in the connector is bent or misaligned, then this could be the reason your taillights are not lighting up. If the the connection at the vehicle is good, then you can check the signal output at your vehicle's 4-flat plug. Have someone sit in the cab of the vehicle to operate the lights and turn signals. Using a 12-volt probe,...

  • Where to Ground Trailer Light Harness on a 2004 Chevy Colorado
    If I am understanding you correctly your vehicle brake lights are activating the turn signal indicators on the dash of your 2004 Chevy Colorado when the brakes are applied. This could be due to the # C55510 not being grounded properly. You will want to run the white, ground wire directly to the frame of your vehicle. See the picture and install video I attached.

  • Troubleshooting the Curt Wiring Harness part # C55510 Not Functioning When Ground is Attached
    The first thing you will want to do is test the 4-way of the # C55510 that you installed with a circuit tester like part # PTW2993. See the video I attached to see how this is done. This will tell you if the problem is on the vehicle side or trailer side of the wiring. You will want to reinstall the harness per the installation instructions and test the 4-way with the key on. I would make sure you have the ground circuit attached to a clean metal surface that touches the vehicle frame....

  • Trailer Wiring Harness for 2001 Ford Ranger 3.0L
    The 4-pole wiring harness kit you referenced, Curt # C55510, is not a fit for your 2001 Ford Ranger but we do have similar wiring kits that will work fine for you. You can see all wiring harness products for your Ranger on the page I linked for you. If the truck does not have the tow package you can add a 4-pole harness # 118344 which simply plugs in at your tail lights. If the truck does have the tow package then for a replacement 4-pole you can use # C55384 or for a 4-pole/7-way combination...

  • 4-Pole Wiring Harness Installation for 2005 Chevrolet Colorado
    Since wire colors used for any given vehicle function can change between production runs, testing with a circuit tester like # PTW2993 is the best method to confirm what any particular wire does. If you want a simple 4-pole harness installation then a custom-fit harness like # 118301, # 41165 or # C55510 is the way to go. These require no testing, cutting or splicing of the truck's wiring, just plugging in the connectors and attaching the ground wire to a clean bare metal surface. Please...

  • Will a Curt Trailer Hitch Fit a 2012 Chevy Colorado Built in Thailand
    Trailer hitch # C13176 is designed for 2015 Chevy Colorados and GMC Canyons. It will not fit a 2012. If your 2012 Chevy Colorado was designed for the US market then you should be able to use trailer hitch # 13252. I have linked a video showing installation of this hitch.

  • Troubleshooting Wiring on a Trailer Towed by a 2005 GMC Canyon
    That definitely sounds like a weak ground that is causing your problem. You could check the condition of your hitch ball. Sometimes a rusty ball will affect how everything grounds on the trailer because the trailer also grounds through the ball to the frame of the vehicle. If the trailer has any type of folding coupler or dump function you might need to run a jumper wire to connect the two sections of the trailer. It sounds like you installed the Tow Ready Wiring Harness # 118301. I would...

    First place to check is the ground of the right side taillight assemblies. You need to make sure they are connected to a clean metal surface. A lot of assemblies ground through the mounting hardware so check that they are attached to a clean metal surface as well. The next most likely problem is corrosion in the trailer connector(s).

Some vehicles can overcome a weak ground which could be why it works with a different vehicle.
