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 interior trim panels in your rear cargo area. Once you've plugged in the T-connector, run the hot lead up 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 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.

IT WAS A GREAT FIT.
This kit worked well... right up until it failed. I called tech support when one of the wires remained hot all the time -- the tech indicated that I probably have a short in the converter box, & the warranty is only good for 1 year. I asked if I could buy a new converter box -- nope, have to buy the whole wiring kit. Not happy.
Both products look great (eTrailer and the Curt wiring harness pack). I haven't installed the trailer yet (later this week I will). But the products arrived two or three days before they were scheduled to arrive; so early is always good. However, they arrived pretty banged up. Not surprising given the weight / bulk of the product. However, it wasn't a great look. Perhaps consider a different form of packaging for future orders of this kind. Overall, though, I have no complaints.
Good morning, Ashley,
Thank you for the outstanding customer service you gave to me. I feel like
I have a better understanding of the difference in hitches and the wiring needed. Thank you for being kind!
Hitch was easy to install. Dropping exhaust and heat shield was the hardest part.
Excellent service and rapid delivery. We use a lot of etrailer's products for our customers. Never had an issue
Needed 2nd day delivery(while calling on Saturday after shipping closed) they did ship it and I got on time ( 2 ford transits with wiring)
Installed when supposed to, customer was happy, the world is a better place!
Great instructions, good product, would be nice if Ford had it already set up for the wiring considering it's a good tow vehicle.
2022 Limited Explorer has a speaker tuning port mounted in the left rear corner. This makes it extremely difficult to disconnect the left connector. To add insult to injury, the cable for the left side is too short for the controller to reach the bottom of the trunk. I had to mount it on an electronics box up about 3 inches. Hopefully Curt used a strong adhesive on the mounting pad.
Bottom line - left side cable is too short, and it is a difficult installation if your model has a tuning prot on the left rear speaker.
The day I received the Curt T-Connector vehicle wiring harness I tore into my trunk of my 2010 Ford Taurus SHO to install. Super easy lug and play to each taillight. Two things to do which are to mount a ground then run a power wire from trunk to the front engine bay and connect the 10 amp fuse and attach to battery connection. Only took 45 minutes which I thought was good since this was my first time. Connected 4 pole harness lead to my trailer and everything works great
The product worked exactly as advertised and the video was extremely helpful with installing it. Only problem was the length of the wire that needs to be routed to the battery was 3' short. Although I am a novice, I can't see how even a professional could have gotten the wire to the battery without buying additional wire. You WILL need to buy extra wire to compete the installation. Overall, I am still very happy with the purchase.
Very happy with the quality and installation works perfectly
Great product and amazing customer serv ice!!
The wiring harness was delivered in a timely manner and it fit the car as it should.
Easy to install following instructions. Hardest part is crawling under suv to tread the positive wire to battery, better to raise the vehicle.
My purchased arrived earlier than expected, packaged carefully and the installation video was perfect.
Absolutely the easiest wiring harness to install ever!!! Would recommend this to anyone, even if you have limited mechanical skills it was a breeze, follow the video instructions and its a breeze.
The package was beat to heck and there were scratches on the hitch.
Fortunately I'm not a twit and realize that you put all that weight from something that sturdy in a cardboard box and send it across the country the box is going to lose the fight. Soooooo, Since I said that the hitch is creat and hopefully I can get it on the lift this week or next and get it on. Your service is EXCELLENT and I appreciate the speed my hitch arrived.
I just bothered to put on my glasses because I was worried that h was a b and oops. SO, I also noticed this was for the wiring harness and dad gummit it arrived attached to the SOLID STEEL HITCH by a zip tie and WE all know that zip ties are like duct tape and that means it goes anywhere.
And no, this isn't sarcasm even though a lot of times it is sarcasm. etrailer.com KILLED it and I'm more than satisfied with my purchase.
Everything fit together well. Plenty of extra wire including.
Great products. Fairly easy to install. Not very good directions come with it. But have detailed videos on website.
Everything I needed. Good instructions. Very pleased.
Followed etrailer's [online] install video, took a few hours by myself but it looks and works great!
Looked very intimidating at first. However, it took me about an hour to install harness. Longest part was fishing the power line from trunk, to engine compartment. I would recommend it to everybody.
Easy to install and works perfect.
Looks like good product and easier solution then splicing wires we will see in time how it works out
