Video Transcript for Review of CURT Custom Fit Vehicle Wiring - T Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness 4 Pole Flat - C56064

Hi, everybody, Andy here with etrailer.com. Let's take a real quick look at this CURT T-connector vehicle wiring harness with four-pole flat trailer connector. Now, this wiring harness has been designed to fit your 2011 to 2013 Ford Fiesta Hatchback and then your 2009 to 2010 Lincoln MKS. On custom-fit parts such as this wiring harness, I do recommend taking advantage of our vehicle fit guide here at etrailer.com. Simply enter the year, make, and model of your vehicle and our fit guide will confirm if this will work for you or if we have something comparable that will work for you. So this harness is going to give you this four-pole flat trailer connector at the back of your vehicle to power your trailer signal lights.

This is also going to be compatible with five, six, and seven-pole adapters, which are sold separately. If you notice, a dust cap is included for the four-pole flat connector, and that's gonna cover up those connection points when this plug is not in use. Now, the black box on this harness is a powered taillight converter, and this is going to make sure that your vehicle's wiring matches out of your trailer. This will connect directly to your vehicle's battery to avoid overloading its electrical system, reducing strain on your vehicle's wiring system. By the way, CURT does build each converter using surface mount technology for consistent, reliable performance.

It's gonna maximize trailer light yield and intensity while producing minimal heat, ensuring superior operation even in rough road conditions. Now, this harness is designed to connect quickly and easily. You will need to locate your vehicle's wiring harness, which is gonna be located behind the driver's side and passenger side interior trim panels in your rear cargo area. But once you locate those connectors, you're gonna separate them and you wanna be careful not to break the locking tabs. And then you're going to insert these T-connector ends between your vehicle's wiring connectors and then lock them into place.

These T-connectors are custom-fitted for your vehicle, so they're gonna match up perfectly with the connection points on your vehicle and they're gonna snap and lock together for a tight, secure fit. Once you have these plugged in, you will need to make a good ground connection. And the ground wire is this white wire. And if you notice, it does have a ring terminal attached to it and it does come with the self-tapping screw. So you can get this installed and grounded into a suitable location such as your vehicles cross frame, vehicles frame rather, or cross member.

You just wanna make sure that the surface is clean and rust-free. Then you want to mount this converter box to a safe out-of-the-way location, and you can do that a number of different ways. It does come with double-sided tape, but that might hold it for a while. I don't think it would hold it when the temperatures start to rise. It might start to come off. So you could use one of the many cable ties that's included with the kit as well to secure this along with a double-sided tape. However you do that, you just wanna make sure that it's mounted and it's out of the way and it's going to be secure. Next, you're going to need to run this hot lead to your vehicle's battery. That's this short black wire that's coming out of this converter box. This short black wire is going to get connected to one end of this included bundle of black wire using one of the included butt connectors. And then the other end of this bundle is going to get routed to your vehicle's battery. And once you have that other end routed to the battery, you're gonna take this fuse holder and you're going to connect one of the wires with the second included butt connector to the routed end of this bundle of black wire. And then you'll take the second wire of the fuse holder and you'll connect this ring terminal attached to it. And then that ring terminal will get attached to the positive post of your vehicle's battery. Now, this does come with a, let me see if I can read the amperage on this fuse. This is a 10 amp fuse, so it does come with this 10 amp fuse and then you'll just pop it into this fuse holder after you have it wired up. And then if you notice, it has a cap on there to keep that fuse safe and protected. So you're gonna be able to secure any excess or slack in your wiring. Again, with the cable ties, it's included with this kit. Instructions are also included to guide you through that installation process, going in quite a bit more detail than what we we inchesre able to do today for our demonstration purposes. And then once installation is complete, the 4-way connector will be stowed in an out of the way location within your cargo area. Now, it is also recommended that you use a small amount of dielectric grease on all of your electrical connections, like the plugs on the vehicle end and the four-pole connector itself. That grease is designed to help prevent electrical failures caused by corrosion and moisture. So on your screen, I am including our item number for that grease. You can just take that item number, pop it in the search field of our website. That will take you to that grease and you can add that to your order. Well, that's gonna wrap up our look today. I do hope that it was helpful for you. Again, my name is Andy. Thank you for joining me.
