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.

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 you've plugged in the T-connector, run the hot lead 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 in an out-of-the-way location within your rear 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.

Worked great l no longer have the vehicle l bought it for but did the job
Was pretty easy to install. Had to remove bumper for easier install.
This trailer hitch receiver was super easy to install on our 2005 Ford Escape. Game changer for us. It fit perfectly. We added a trash can carrier to it to deliver our bin to the end of a very LONG driveway.
The reverse light female connector is incorrect. Having to order the right female connector and manipulate the harness that was already suppose to be easy installation.
The provided double sided tape had no adhesive to it what so ever. Assuming it is extremely old or something.

This harness only comes with a 4-way connector that does not include a reverse light wire. You can add an adapter like part # 20036 for the reverse wire function. You would just need to wire the blue wire info the reverse light wire on the vehicle.
This product fit my daughters Ford Escape perfectly, I had previously ordered a trailer hitch and wiring harness but I inadvertently ordered the wrong wiring harness (to be fair, there was nothing wrong with the harness. If Ford had done their job it would have been perfect for the job). Trailer hitch fit perfectly and this wireing harness was perfect. My thanks to George and Carol at Etrailer. Products were correct and shipping was very fast. If I could give 10 stars I would.
I actually had to replace this after just one year. I was on a dirt road and something yanked the wires out of my connector, causing them to touch and short circuit. That's not a problem in itself, but the fuse did not protect the electronic module and it was damaged in the process. While the initial damage was not Curt's fault, the purpose of the fuse is to protect the sensitive electronics and that did not happen. Otherwise it's a good product, easy to install and use. Just don't short it out.
Fairly difficult and time consuming to install; instructions not specific enough especially where to hook up green wire connectors on passenger side taillight (it goes on the turn signal connector); good luck getting your old connectors apart, I broke every clip. Not to worry, just wrap them snug with electrical tape after the new ones are connected and you'll be good to go.
This wiring harness fit my 2006 Ford Escape. I had no trouble getting to to work and no issues with installation. Overall great product and still functioning strong one year later.
Hello, the first wiring set we got burned up so we had to buy a new one. The new one we got from etrailer and it has been great. It's made well and has held up perfectly. I would recommend this to anyone needing to wire up for towing purposes.
I received the wiring harness for my trailer lights, works great...put it on in about 30min, went as easy as eating pie lol
The installation video was spot on, easy to follow and the hook-up went according to plan. Checked the 4 pin with a light tester and it worked great.
I love this trailer hitch,it was very easy to install. Im very satisfied with this purchase.
Lori was Very Helpful and Knowledgeable! My wiring harness arrived sooner that I expected, was easy to install and worked perfect.

I got trailer lights. Did the job in my driveway everything went together well. Took a few breaks total work time about an hour.
Just put it on this week to pull the popup camper north so far its working hope it last longer than the first one
Quick shipping and helpful instructions
Everything I expected in order to wire up to my boat trailer. Easy to install
plugs right in and works great, running wire from battery back to it is the hardest part but everything is included to make it happen!
i have will install when it stops raini ng
Thanks for the awesome service, delivery and follow-up. Haven't installed product yet but hope it does the job.
