Video Transcript for Curt Wiring - Wiring Adapters - C57102 Review
Man: Today we're going to be taking a look at Part Number C57102. This is a Curt Trailer Connector Adapter with a backup alarm. This is 4-way, the 7-way round and 4-way flat. The multi-function vehicle end connector is going to convert any 4-way flat connector vehicle end plug to a combination of a 7-way outlet which is going to be this portion right here. And a 4-pole flat outlet. It's also going to feature the integrated backup alarm and it's going to have three LED lights on there as well. This is designed to connect to a 4-way flat plug on your vehicle.
You're going to have the connection right here to make that appropriate connection. It is going to require additional wiring for the use of brake, power, and accessory leads. All of the brake or . excuse me. All the wires here included in the harness or the adapter are going to have the appropriate connectors on here.
You're going to have three of them that are going to have the butt connectors and then the white is going to be your ground and that's going to have the ring terminal on there that will need be attached with a self-tapping screw. So again this is going to supply your 7-blade RV connector right here as well as a 4-way flat trailer connector. It's going to have the nice dust cap that goes over the connection points to prevent them from any type of corrosion. And then on the 7-way connector it's got the nice spring loaded lid that's going to protect the connection points as well. Now this is going to be constructed of a durable plastic construction. It's going to come with a mounting bracket and the necessary hardware to mount the connector to the actual bracket. You will need the hardware to mount the bracket to the vehicle, that is going to be sold separately.
Through these holes right here that's going to connect using two number 10 half inch self-tapping screws. You can also use a number 10 half inch self-tapping screw to mount the ground connection with the ring terminal here on the end of the white wire. Now to go over the wire functions real fast with you, the yellow wire is going to be for the reverse lights. Your blue wire is going to be for the brakes. The black wire is going to be for 12 volt power and then your white wire is going to be for your ground connection and then you're going to have the four way connector that's going to plug into the existing vehicle 4-way connector. Once you have all those connections made, you're going to have full use of your 7-way connector right here as well as the 4-way flat connector right here. I'm going to show you how it mounts with the bracket.
Just run all the wiring through the slots there, feed your 4-way flat through there as well. Now the holes in the bracket are going to line up perfectly with the holes here on national connector. Now that's going to be able to mount to the rear of your vehicle. It's going to hold it place and you have a little area here on the side of the bracket for your 4-way connector as well so it's going to stay right there next to the 7-way connector. That bracket is going to hold it in place. So real quick I just want to go ahead and show you the function here of the backup alarm. I'm going to go on and make our necessary connections and then you can see how that operates. Sends out a nice strong signal. It's really loud. You'll be able to see the lights flash as well. I'm going to activate the reverse function (beeping sound). That's going to sound and flash anytime the reverse function is activated on your vehicle. That's going to do it for today's review of Part Number C57102. This is the Curt Trailer Connector Adapter with the built in backup alarm. .

Exactly what I was looking for. Easily connected to my existing 4-way without any additional wiring. The 7-way adapter bracket was the correct size, and the holes were pre-drilled for the right fit to connect to the existing bracket on the (U-Haul Installed) tow bar.

Ask the Experts about this CURT Trailer Wiring
- What are the Wire Functions of the CURT Trailer Connector Adapter, # C57102You are correct. On the CURT Trailer Connector Adapter, # C57102, the white wire is ground, black is for 12 volt power, blue is for brakes, and yellow is for reverse lights. The 4-Way would then just plug into a 4-Way trailer connector on the vehicle to provide the remainder of the lighting functions. Be sure to ground the white wire to the vehicle frame for the connector to function properly.
view full answer... - Does the Backup Alarm on Curter Trailer Connector Adapter # C57102 Sound Just when TowingAny time the vehicle is placed in reverse, whether you are towing or not, the alarm will sound. You will have to make sure that yellow wire is connected to a reverse light wire on the vehicle in order for the alarm to function.
view full answer... - How Does the Curt Connector # C57102 Wire UpAfter you plug the 4-way in from your 2006 Ford E-350 to the Curt Trailer Connector Adapter # C57102 you will need to run the rest of the wires as follows: The white wire will need to be grounded to a clean metal surface. The blue wire will go to the brake output signal of your brake controller. The black wire will go to the positive side of your battery through a 40 amp circuit breaker like part # PK54540 The yellow wire will run to the reverse light circuit.
view full answer... - Installation of the Curt Trailer Connector and Back-Up Alarm # C57102 on a 2001 Jeep Grand CherokeeYes, you can connect the yellow wire of the Curt Trailer Connector and Back-up Alarm, # C57102, to the back-up light circuit on your 2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee. Connecting the yellow wire will allow the back-up alarm to activate when you put your Jeep in reverse.
view full answer... - Universal Version of the Curt Trailer Connector # C57101The closest thing we have to a universal version of the Curt Trailer Connector # C57101 would be the Curt Trailer Connector Adapter # C57102. This adapter is designed to plug into a 4-way and then the other 4 wires would get run to where they belong. White to ground Blue to brake controller output Yellow to reverse light circuit Black to positive side of the battery
view full answer... - What Circuits Of The 7-Way Blade Connector Are Required To Use a Curt Echo Trailer Brake Connector?A reverse circuit wire is not required for the Curt Echo Wireless Trailer Brake Controller # C51180 to operate correctly. It only needs to get power form the charge line/auxiliary circuit of the 7-way and see signal from the brake lights (the brake lights are a combination of the left and right turn signals operating at the same time, because of this do not use your hazard lights with a Curt Echo installed). Your trailer will only require that the reverse lights portion of the Curt Trailer...

- Does the Alarm Always Sound in Reverse on the Curt Trailer Connector Adapter with Backup Alarm?Any time your vehicle is placed in reverse, whether you are towing or not, the alarm will sound on the Curt Trailer Connector Adapter with Backup Alarm item # C57102. To have the same connector without the beeping sound you will want the Curt Trailer Connector Adapter item # C57672. This is the same 7-way and 4-way connector without the alarm. I have linked an installation video below.
view full answer... - Where to Tap Into Reverse Light Circuit to Install Trailer Connector Adapter with Backup AlarmTo wire in the reverse light wire on Curt 7-Way connector # C57102 for the back up alarm to work you will need to tap into a reverse light wire behind a reverse light on your 1999 Dodge Ram. If you do not wish to tap into the wire there then you can trace the harness to a more accessible location. Then use a circuit tester such as # PTW2991, to find the correct wire before tapping into it. Be sure that the white ground wire on the 7-Way is attached to the truck frame. Otherwise the harness...
view full answer... - Parts Needed to Install a Brake Controller and 7-Way in a 2012 Lincoln NavigatorYes, the Curt Trailer Connector Adapter # C57102 would be the correct part for you to use to convert your 4-way to a fully functional 7-way. You would just need to run the wires of the # C57102 to those leads. If there isn't a 12 volt power lead you will need to run a 10 gauge wire like part # 10-1-1 through a 40 amp circuit breaker like part # 9510. The brake controller we recommend the most is the Prodigy P2 Brake Controller part # 90885. This is the best selling controller on the market...

- Solution for 2020 GM Truck that Won't Recognize Trailer Wiring ConnectionWhat you need is more resistance on your trailer wiring circuits so that your truck thinks a trailer is connected. So what you could do is install the load resistors part # DI34ZR on two of your trailer wiring circuits and your truck would draw more amperage when connected and you'd be good.

If your Grand Cherokee didn't come with the factory tow package and you're needing to use a brake controller then you will need run a wire from the blue wire on the back of the 7 way up to the engine compartment and through the firewall into the cab of the vehicle. Once it's run through the...

Hopkins does not currently have a back up alarm system that is compatible with this tail light bulb style. If you would like you could use the Curt # C57102 or the #C57101. These are replacment trailer connectors that have also have a back up alarm included. If your trucks currently have a factory installed 7-way you will want to use the # C57101 as a direct replacement. If not...

This part includes the additional feature of a backup alarm, which is activated simply by connecting the yellow wire to the reverse light circuit, if desired.

view full answer... - Parts Needed to Add 7-Way and Brake Controller on 2017 Subaru Outback WagonIn order to install a fully functional 4- and 7-Way connector on your 2017 Subaru Outback Wagon you will need to start with a 4-Way harness if you don't already have one. For this I recommend the Tekonsha T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118467. This custom harness will simply plug into factory ports located in the rear cargo area on the Outback. I have attached an installation video that you can use for reference. Then with the 4-Way installed (or if you already have one on the vehicle)...

- Does Curt 7-Way with Backup Alarm Work on 2021 Hyundai PalisadeYes the Curt Trailer Connector Adapter with Backup Alarm # C57102 does for your 2021 Hyundai Palisade. It would plug into a 4-way that fits your vehicle like the part # CU94FR. You will need to do some hardwiring to install a brake controller like the Draw Tite I-Command part # 5535 which I attached a link on this topic for more info on.

This is a plug-n-play install but I do highly recommend, to keep the connector safe from corrosion and moisture you use a Dielectric Grease such as, # 11755. For a brake controller, I suggest the Curt Echo Wireless Trailer Brake Controller, # C51180 for 1 to 2 axles. Once the Echo is installed, it will sense -...

The controller simply needs to be plugged into the 7-Way on the tow vehicle and it will work as it should. When converting your 4-Way to a 7-Way with an adapter like the Curt # C57102 you will only need to run the 12V power wire up to the vehicle's battery like you mentioned. The brake output pin on the 7-Way does not need to be...

You will need wiring to run from the brake output of your brake controller to the blue wire of this adapter. We have 10 gauge wire for this with # 10-1-1 which we sell by the foot.

There are a couple of options depending on the trim level of your Pacifica. If you have a Limited model use # 118712. And if you have an LX or Touring model use # 118723. Both of the above harnesses are 4-Ways. To add a 7-Way you would first need to install one of them. Then to add a functional 7-Way, retain the 4-Way, and to have the wiring for a brake...

But if it did not come with a tow package the connector will either A) not be there or B) not be functional. On vehicles that have the connector it is located behind the rear bumper. On some, it is located behind the bumper and inside of a plastic box.

This would give you basically the same kit as the # ETBC7 except with the backup alarm. You wouldn't need the extra wire either. With transmission coolers the best option is to go with the largest one that will fit in the available space in front of the radiator. For example the part # D13503 measures 11" Wide x 8-3/4" tall x 7/8" deep and would...

You can leave those off for most situations. Normally the 12 volt power wire runs to the positive post of the vehicle battery with 10 gauge wire like part # 10-1-1 (sold by the foot) through a breaker like part # 9510 and then the reverse light circuit runs to the reverse lights of the vehicle tapped in with a quick splice like part # SWC501746-1....

For an audible alert you can use the Light-Duty to Medium-Duty Back-Up Alarm with Wire Leads # PK41822, the medium to heavy-duty # PK41851, or the integrated alarm in the Curt Trailer Connector Adapter with Backup Alarm - 4-Way to 7-Way RV and 4-Way Flat # C57102.

The reason is this is the only way to ensure your car's wiring is not otherwise affected as routing the power there can cause potential shorts, damaging your Subaru's electrical system.
