Features to know about

Installs Easily Without a Tow Package: Plug-In 4-Pole Harness

When your vehicle didn’t come with a factory tow package, this harness makes it simple to add trailer lighting. The Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector plugs directly into existing wiring and includes all of the wires and connectors needed for a complete install. There’s no cutting or splicing—just plug in the connectors, route the power wire, and you’re ready to tow.

Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-pole flat trailer connector showing complete harness assembly, converter box, and plug-in connectors.

Ready for Trailer Lighting: Standard 4-Flat Connection

With a built-in 4-pole flat connector, this harness gives you the essential lighting functions—running lights, brake lights, and turn signals—for safe towing of small and mid-size trailers. It provides a clean, reliable connection every time you hook up.

Expandable Setup for More Towing Options: Works with 7-Way Conversion Kits

If you later need to run trailer brakes or a 12-volt power line, this 4-pole harness serves as the base for an easy upgrade. Add a brake controller installation kit like part # ETBC7 to convert your setup to a full 7-way system. That means you can grow from basic trailer lights to full brake and charge capabilities without redoing the wiring.

Powered Converter Protects Vehicle Electronics: Reliable Signal Management

The integrated powered converter ensures that the trailer lights get the right amount of power while protecting your vehicle’s factory wiring from overloads or shorts. It keeps the signals steady for consistent light performance every time you tow.

Not only did the wiring unit fit, it was easy to install. The CSR was extremely helpful in explaining the install but also in determining the correct unit.



by:

very easy to install, looks good and dies what it was designed to do. It hasn't seen much weather or miles yet so time will tell if the paint holds up.



by:

Plug and play. Works great!



by:

Good instructions and fairly easy to in stall.



by:

Good - It all worked.
BUT - an extra
6 - 10" of wiring to the battery would be nice. I had to add on.

Was very easy to install. The only problem I had was the in line fuse wiring was bad. The fuse was fine but the wire had a break or something. I had to get a replacement at the auto part store then worked great. The ease of install is definitely worth the price.

Worked great. Wasn't able to get the power wire through the frame on my 2008 Durango like the video did but zip ties fixed that.



by:

Needed this kit last minute so my wife could pull our trailer to a pig show with our Durango instead of our "big farm truck." Install video made it a breeze to install, shipping was fast!

Great no splice method of adding trailer lights to my Subaru Outback.

Yes, working great



by:

Product arrived quickly and was exactly as pictured. The only issue with this product was that the black wire, for connecting the vehicle's battery to the power prong of a 7-pin trailer connector, was too short. I needed about 2 to 3 feet of extra wire on my 2008 Dodge Durango.



by:

Installation was strait forward and easy. All pieces was there and easy twork with. Videos were nice to have for reference. Way to go Etrailer!!!

Everything is still working great. Installation was easy. Price was right. Etrailer is the best.



by:

Super easy install!
2 sided tape for
power box isn't the best idea so I ty-wrapped up out of the way of dirt and heat above the spare tire. I suggest heat shrink tubing for all connections rather than electrical tape. And use a proper crimping tool, NOT pliers! Harness was installed in less than 15 minutes but fishing the power line to the battery thru the drivers side frame, was a bit of a challenge and took about 30 minutes with 2 people and a fish tape.

  • Replacement 7-Way for 2006 Dodge Durango Adventurer
    Hi Jeff; if your factory wiring harness (this has the square plug connected to your trailer connectors) is still in good shape you can replace your 4-way and 7-way with the Multi-Plug T-One Connector Assembly for 7-Way & 4 Pole Trailer Connector # 20135. I'm not sure which factory connector came with the 2006 Durango so I can't really say how this will differ but, I can tell you it has both the 4-way and 7-way just like the one you have. If that wiring harness is in bad shape like your...

  • Replacement Trailer Wiring Harness Recommendation for 2008 Chrysler Aspen
    Sounds like you have a shorted out trailer taillight converter. Any time we see one of the pins of a connector show voltage all of the time that indicates that box has shorted out most likely due to a short on the trailers wiring. Curt harnesses like the one you have part # C55597 are notoriously easier to short out than other brands. So what I would recommend you do is find and fix any short on your trailer's wiring and then install a # 118390 in place of it and you'll be good to go.

    I took a look at the directions for you, and am happy to report no type of cutting or trimming is needed on your 2003 Dodge Durango to install the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # 13297.
