Features to know about

Installs Without Splicing: Plug-In T-Connector

Wiring a trailer doesn’t have to mean cutting factory wires. This Curt T-Connector harness plugs right into the existing tail light connections for a clean install. No splicing or wire tracing—just connect the plugs and you’ve got a 4-flat trailer connector ready to go.

Adds Power for Reliable Trailer Lights: Built-In Powered Converter

This harness includes a powered converter that draws power directly from the vehicle battery. That means your trailer lights get the voltage they need without overloading the vehicle’s lighting circuits. It’s a solid setup for consistent performance every time you tow.

Simple Setup from Start to Finish: Uses Factory Connection Points

Everything hooks up at the rear of the vehicle using factory wiring access points. The design keeps the install neat and contained, so there’s no need to run wires all over or drill new holes. You’ll have working trailer lights in less time and with less hassle.

Ready for Everyday Towing: Standard 4-Flat Connector

Once installed, the 4-flat connector gives you all the basics—running lights, turn signals, and brake lights—for small and mid-size trailers. It’s the most common connection out there and works with a wide range of trailer types and accessories.

A great source from hitch to lights watched the videos ,easy install ,saved a bunch of money, thank you Eric

Install went fairly easy. There's definitely a bit of creative wire tucking involved, but nothing the every day DIYer can't handle. Worked great.



by:

Very easy to do, step by step instructions. basic electrical knowledge is helpful but not necessary. Whole job took about an hour.

Great product, easy installation, etrailer delivered!



by:

This harness fit perfectly for the vehicle it was purchased for. Installation video was very informative.



by:

This kit is perfect. It includes everything you need to complete the installation. This kit is to boost the power to your trailer lights so that they work properly. I won't buy any other kit to do this job. Thanks etrailer for your great products and awesome support.

Update to previous review. The hitch arrived on in plastic covering (no box) and quite a bit of thr associated was ripped and hardware missing. After notifying etrailer, they immediately reshipped a new hardware kit which arrived in a couple days. Can't ask for much more than that!

@Mike That's great, we're glad to hear that!

I bought a 25 ftroll of split 1/4 in tubing, 8 bucks to protect power wire. I had 6 inches to spare. The 12 power to the battery was long enough, barely. This is for a NISSAN NV2500 cargo van. It works.

  • Brake Controller and Wiring Recommendations for a 2015 Nissan NV 3500
    Hey Thomas, thanks for reaching out! I really like the Redarc Tow-Pro Liberty Brake Controller w/ Custom Harness # RED53CR because it comes with an adapter that plugs right into your factory wiring, and the main body of the controller can be hidden virtually anywhere, just as long as you have access to the control knob. If you have the factory tow package on your 2015 Nissan NV 3500 then you'll be set to go, otherwise you'll also need the Curt Wiring # C56148 and the Universal Wiring...

  • Recommended 7-Way for a 2018 Nissan NV2500
    Hey Ryan! To add a 7-way connector to your 2018 Nissan NV2500 you'll need to install two sets of wiring harnesses if you do not already have a 4-way connector installed. I have listed the parts you'll need below and how they set up. If you do not already have a 4-way connector you'll want the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness item # C56148. This custom-fit T-connector plugs into your Nissan's wiring harness, which is located in your rear cargo area. The connection points are inside...

  • Installation of 4-Pole Wiring Harness in 2017 Nissan NV 3500
    To install the T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # C56148 in your 2017 Nissan NV 3500 you only need to plug it into your Nissan's tail light wiring harness, which you can find in your van's rear cargo area and then wire a hot lead to the battery. I have added a cut out of the directions for you to check out, and the full installation instructions are also linked.

  • Parts Needed to Install 7-Way on 2014 Nissan NV 2500
    There's only one way to install a 7-way on your 2014 Nissan NV 2500 and it involves installing a 4-way first like with the Curt part # C56148 which is by far the best option that is the most reliable. And then to convert it to a 7-way and install a brake controller you'd need the part # ETBC7. If you don't plan to install a brake controller you'd instead need the part # 37185. For a brake controller the Redarc Tow Pro Liberty # RED57FR is a really great option that only puts a small knob...

  • What Do I Need To Tow a Car Hauler Trailer With My 2012 Nissan NV 2500?
    Yes, the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 75715 will work for your 2012 Nissan NV 2500. Your Nissan will have a tow rating between 7000lbs and 9500lbs. You can contact Nissan for your exact tow rating by VIN number. The Draw-tite will allow for up to 7,000lbs towing and 1,125lbs of tongue weight. If you are using a weight distribution hitch the ratings are 10,000lbs towing and 1,000lbs of tongue weight. You will want to verify the weights of both your VW Passat and U-Haul...

  • Recommended Wiring Harness for 2014 Nissan NV 3500 Passenger Van
    The Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # C56148 is a confirmed fit for the Nissan NV 1500, 2500, and 3500 models between 2012 and 2020. There is not a separate fit for the cargo models from the passenger models because they utilize the same wiring. You can alternatively use # 118553 or # HM11143585 which are also confirmed to fit. These are all good options, so I recommend going with the best cost at that time of purchase.

  • Hitch & Brake Controller for 2016 Nissan NV 2500
    We do offer a 2-inch Class IV hitch for your 2016 Nissan NV 2500, the Curt # C14000. This hitch offers no-drill installation. Installation on an NV 3500 is shown in the linked video. You will also need a ball mount and hitch ball. The linked article will help you determine which ball mount you need. Use a hitch ball of the size and weight rating required by your trailer. For a brake controller to activate the trailer's electric brakes I suggest the reliable Prodigy P2 # 90885. If your...
