Features to know about

Installs in Minutes Without Wire Cutting: Plug-In T-Connector Design

Wiring a trailer can be tricky if you’re dealing with splicing or tracing wires, but this harness avoids all that. The Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector plugs right into the vehicle’s factory connectors located behind interior trim panels. Once the plugs are in place, you just route the included hot lead up to the battery and hook it to the fuse holder. It’s a straightforward plug-in setup that keeps your factory wiring intact and clean.

Protects Factory Electronics: Powered Converter Module

This harness includes a powered converter that draws power directly from the battery instead of pulling it through the vehicle’s taillight circuits. That protects sensitive electronics from overload or potential shorting while also ensuring steady current for trailer lights. It’s a safe setup that keeps your towing lights bright and consistent without overworking your vehicle’s wiring.

Reliable Basic Trailer Lighting: 4-Pole Flat Connector

The included 4-flat plug provides the standard trailer lighting functions—running lights, turn signals, and brake lights—so your trailer stays visible and compliant on the road. The flat connector is easy to use and works with most small and mid-size trailers, giving you everything you need for safe towing of light loads or accessories.

Keeps the Install Clean: Hidden Mount Behind Interior Panels

The connectors mount behind interior trim in the cargo area, keeping everything tucked away and out of sight once installed. This hidden design helps protect wiring from wear, gives a factory-finished look, and keeps your cargo area uncluttered when the harness isn’t in use.

Perfect fit for my Volvo

Exactly what I needed and expedited faster than I thought it would arrive! Great. Would use this company again.

Very easy install!

Great instructions, easy to follow and install



by:

Simple installation, directions are great. Hardest part was running the one wire to the battery. Otherwise it was a breeze!



by:

Your notices for Shipping details and the progress of the parcel's shipping were the best I have experienced.

Only thought was the instructions seemed to be for a Ford Escape.

Direct fit, quick and easy install on 2011 Volvo XC70. Instructions were clear and helpful



by:

Great product. Easy to install. Fast shipping and well packed to eliminate damage.



by:

Super easy install. Works great. I needed a YouTube video to assist though.



by:

It really can't be any easier, just plug and play. The hardest part was running the power wire under and through rocker panels from the battery to the back of the car. It's one wire and NOT difficult just a little time consuming, the rest is unplug and plug back in.



by:

Haven't turned it on yet, but completing installation. Looks like good quality, and instructions are decent, including pictures. However, the instructions incorrectly state both side trim panels should be removed. Only the driver's side needs to be removed, to route the T connectors to the ceiling light. The lower portion of trim that extends along the luggage area does not need to be removed. Pop the rear end out of a few hidden fasteners, and flex it to slip the T connectors under it and upwards. The only significant issue I found for a "custom" fit, is the ground wire needs to be 2' longer to reach the ground point in the rear of the spare tire area. There is no ground screw in the driver's side tailight area, and I was unwilling to drill a hole in metal without knowing what is on the other side. Do NOT use a nut on one of the mounting screws of the tailight - they are not ground. I had to splice a 2' piece of wire into the ground wire (not supplied). Assuming this works as intended I will be very happy.



by:

Fairly easy to install. Connectors fit well and are good quality. The first one I got had the wrong harness in the package. The second was missing a sheet of instructions. So open it ahead of time to make sure all is good. The instructions were close. I needed an 8 mm instead of 10 and removing the side screws and floor covering was unnecessary extra work. There’s a fuse box in the rear with an empty spot for the factory trailer harness so it’s easy to tap power there.



by:

Replaced Trailer lighting unit in 2010 Volvo XC70. Dealer could not fix. .. Wiring kit designed to be an easy installation or replacement of Trailer wiring. The biggest effort is gaining access to each connection of the brake & tail light wires. Once each connector is located, disconnect plastic connector, insert trailer in/out connector pairs, route wires to each location. .. then, to power and ground the electronic box I used existing power wire and ground location. Be prepared to connect into existing wires with connecting clips. I purchased extra connection clips not supplied (Find at auto supply with trailer lights). New System Works great with LED or incandescent lights.



by:

I called to get information on a trailer hitch for my car. The information I received was great. Based on the information, I ordered a hitch and wiring harness online. The items arrived on time.The installation was easy thanks to the excellent videos on your website.

Thanks for letting us help you out, Randall! Now that you got the hitch and wiring installed, going to head anywhere fun or just towing around town?



by:

The wiring harness went on the Volvo XC70 without a problem. It took about 2.5 hours to finish the job. One has to remove all the trim and floor from the rear of the station wagon. The ''plug and pray'' wire set came with good, understandable instructions. [prayers were answered''.
I would have attached a short video clip od 4 way flashers in action but a screen shot will have to do.... Thanks JOHN

  • Where To Connect Wires For Curt T-Connector C56386 On 2012 Volvo XC70
    Hey Paul, thanks for reaching out. Yea that Curt # C56386 T-connector is a bit more tricky since it has 3 T-connectors instead of the typical two. To summarize, the connector with the yellow wire plugs in behind the driver side taillights. The connector with the red wire goes to the separated vehicle connectors by the ceiling light in the rear ceiling panel. Then the connector with the green wire goes behind the passenger side taillights. If you look at the included instructions, steps...

  • How to Add 7-Way to 2013 Volvo XC70
    Hi Steve; the Curt # 13266 doesn't change the fitment of the bumper cover. Everything still fits as intended and looks the same once the installation is complete. The little bit of extra material doesn't impact anything in a negative way. If you don't already have a 4-way you will need to add one using the # C56386. Once you have a 4-way installed you will need the # ETBC7 you were looking at to upgrade to a 7-way.

  • No Brake Lights with Hopkins Plug-In Harness On a 2013 Volvo XC70
    There are two different sets of tail lights on a 2013 Volvo XC70, a pair in the quarter panel at chest height and a pair in the lower bumper at knee height. I took a look at all the trailer wiring harnesses for a 2013 Volvo XC70 (Curt T-Connector part # C56386, Tekonsha T-One part # 118774, and Hopkins Plug-In part # HM11143735) and these all show the connectors plugging into the tail lights at chest height (see photo). It sounds like you may somehow have them plugged into the tail lights...

  • Comparing Curt And Hopkins Wiring Harnesses For 2011 Volvo XC70
    Trailer wiring harnesses for your 2011 Volvo XC70 use powered converters to draw the power for the trailer's wiring. This prevents the taillights of your Volvo from having to power the trailer wiring. The Hopkins kit part # HM11143735 that fits your vehicle runs a line to the positive post of the vehicle whereas the Curt part # C56386 instead runs to the interior light. This is HIGHLY unusual but it is what Curt recommends. So you either would need to run a wire to the battery or to the...

  • Wiring Harness for 2016 Volvo XC70 and Running a Wire to the Battery
    On your 2016 Volvo XC70, the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector item # C56386 has a wire that runs to the battery for two reasons. The first and main reason is that there is no other source of constant 12v power in the rear of your Volvo. The second is that the powered converter that comes with the wiring harness is designed to reduce strain on your wiring system. This requires it to have a direct power source. If you were to tap into another circuit...

  • Does Curt Trailer Wiring Have to be Powered by 2010 Volvo XC70 Battery
    To install the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness # C56386 power you really need to run that wire up to the battery on your 2010 Volvo XC70. Any other circuit on your vehicle (like the cigarette lighter) won't have a high enough amperage rating to handle the lights on your trailer. You could potentially get away with using a different circuit on your vehicle for power but then you risk blowing that circuit which would result in power loss on your vehicle as well as the lights on your...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch For 2013 Volvo XC70 Wagon
    To be honest I recommend installing a Class lll trailer hitch on your XC70 like the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch, part # 75916. This hitch has a 2-inch receiver opening which gives you many more options for accessories than a Class ll hitch like part # C12066. If you are going to install the # C12066, per Curt you are required to use a stabilizing strap like part # 18050 for any non-trailer items. Since you mentioned a ball mount I recommend the etrailer ball mount kit # 989900....

  • Does 2009 Volvo XC70 Need to Be Reprogrammed to Install Curt C56386 T-Connector
    Other than needing to run the power supply wire to the positive battery terminal, installing the # C56386 T-Connector on your 2009 Volvo XC70 would be a plug and play installation. The converter would plug inline with the factory wiring harness as shown in the linked instructions. No reprogramming or software will be necessary.

  • Recommended Hitch for a 2012 Volvo XC70
    Yes, we do. To add a 2" hitch to your 2012 Volvo XC70, I recommend the etrailer Hitch item # e77KR. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your Volvo with included hardware. This is a class III hitch with a 2" receiver. It has a 350 lbs maximum tongue weight so you will have plenty of capacity for a bike rack. I really like this hitch because the crosstube mounts behind the rear bumper. This not only looks better but it also helps with ground clearance. If you are planning on towing you...

  • Comparison Of Trailer Hitches For 2008 Volvo XC70
    The Hidden Hitch Trailer Hitch and Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch, part # 75916 are made by the same parent company so they are really constructed the same. They are Class lll hitches and have 2 inch receiver openings, and will work well with your XC70. The Hidden Hitch is no longer available. If you plan on doing some towing you might be interested in 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...

  • No Brake Lights on Trailer After Installing Curt T-Connector on 2016 Volvo XC70
    If your trailer doesn't have brake lights but does have turn signals, the most likely thing I can think of that may be the issue with the Curt # C56386 is the that the trailer has separate turn and brake lights. If it does, that would mean it is on a 3-wire system where the turn signals and brake lights are not on the same circuit. If that's the case what you would need is a converter for the trailer, the Curt # C56196 (note this is not compatible with LED lights).

  • Troubleshooting Install of Curt Trailer Wiring on 2016 Volvo XC70 Interior Light Stays On
    Most likely a pin in one of the connectors of the Curt trailer wiring harness # C56386 isn't seated properly and your interior light is somehow shorting to a circuit with power all the time which is causing it to be on all the time. Try removing the harness to first see if the problem goes away and then from there reinstall it to see if reconnecting the connectors causes the pins to seat better and the problem to go away. If the problem persists than the harness itself is damaged and...

    Hey Aidan, welcome back! The wiring harness you were looking at is actually designed for the 2006-2012 RAV4. For your Volvo you need the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # C56386. This plugs into the connection points behind your tail lights and then you'll run a hot lead up to the battery. It won't have any kind of connection with the computer, it just carries the signals over to the trailer, so no software update is required. What will you...

  • Hitch and Trailer Wiring Harness Fits for 2015.5 XC 70 AWD
    2016 was the first model year of the 3rd generation of the Volvo XC70, but the 2015 and 2016 models used the same hitch fits. The Draw-Tite # 75916 will fit your XC70. The Curt # C56386 also carries over from the 2015 to the 2016 model, so it will fit your vehicle regardless of whether or not it's considered a 2015 or a 2016 model. I've confirmed this with Curt.
