Video Transcript for Let’s Check Out the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector-C37NR

Hi, everybody. Andy here with etrailer.com and today we're gonna take a look at this Curt T Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness with four pole flat trailer connector. Now, this is going to fit your 2020 and newer Mitsubishi Outlander Sport. To confirm that this is going to work for your vehicle, take advantage of our vehicle fit guide and input the year, make and model of your vehicle and our fit guide will let you know if this wiring harness will work for you or if we have something comparable that will work for you. Now, this harness is going to give you a four pole flat trailer connector at the back of your Outlander Sport to power your trailer signal lights. It is compatible with five poles, six pole and seven pole adapters, and of course those adapters are sold separately.

And included with this is this dust cap that's going to cover up those connection points when this is not in use. So, that's going to protect it from dirt and grime and moisture and then when you're ready to use it, just remove the dust cap and you'll be ready to roll. Now, the black box on this harness is a powered taillight converter and this is going to ensure that your vehicle's wiring matches that of your trailer. It connects directly to your vehicle's battery to avoid overloading the vehicle's electrical system, reducing strain on your vehicle's wiring system, and Curt builds each converter using surface mount technology for a consistent, reliable performance. It maximizes trailer light yield and intensity, while producing minimal heat, ensuring superior operation in rough road conditions.

Now, this harness is designed to connect quickly and easily. The connections with the yellow wires that we have right here are gonna go to your driver's side and the connections with the green wires are going to go to your passenger side of your vehicle. You will need to locate your vehicle's taillight wiring harness behind the driver's side and passenger side taillights. And then you will have to remove the taillight assemblies to access this harness, and once you locate the vehicle's taillight wiring connections then you're just going to separate the taillight connections and you wanna be careful not to break the locking tabs and then insert these T connector ends between the vehicle wiring connectors and lock them into place. These T connectors are custom fitted for your Outlander Sport, so they're gonna match up perfectly with the connection points on the vehicle and they're gonna snap and lock together for a tight, secure fit.

Now, once you have these plugged in, you will have to make a good ground connection. And so, the ground wire is this white wire with this ring terminal attached to it and it does come with a self-tapping screw. So, you can get that grounded to a suitable location, such as your Outlander Sport's frame or crossmember, and you just wanna make sure that that surface is clean and rust free. Then you'll need to mount this converter box to a safe, out of the way location. You can do that with another mounting screw or with this included double-sided adhesive tape or even with one of the many cable ties that's provided in this kit.

Next, you will want to run the hot lead to the vehicle battery and that's this short, black wire that's coming out of the converter box. This short black wire gets 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 this routed to your battery, you're going to take this fuse holder and connect one of the wires with the second butt connector to the routed wire, and then, the other half of this fuse holder will get a ring terminal attached to it. And that's going to connect to the positive post of your vehicle's battery. This does come with a 10 amp fuse and that's gonna go right into the holder, as you can see. And then, this does have a cap to keep that fuse safe and protected. Now, you can secure any excess or slack in your wiring with the included cable ties and you're gonna get quite a few cable ties to secure all the wiring up. And once the insulation is complete, the four-way connector will be stowed beneath your vehicle near the trailer hitch. A mounting bracket is recommended to keep this connector secure. Now, this does not include a mounting bracket, but I do have one on your screen that you could take a look at and you could add to your order. As you can see, I have the item number there on your screen for that mounting bracket, and that's just going to be a very convenient way to have this always accessible at the back of your vehicle. Now, the maximum amperage for the stop turn lights is 5.0 amps per circuit, and for the taillights it's 7.5 amps per circuit. And a great set of instructions are included to walk you through the insulation process. You're also going to get a small tube of black silicone and it is also recommended that you use a small amount of dielectric grease on all of your electrical connections, like your plugs on the vehicle and the four pole connector itself. It's designed to help prevent electrical failures caused by corrosion and moisture. So, on your screen, I am including our item number for a small tube of dielectric grease. And again, you can just take that item number and put it in the search field of our website and it will take you to that grease and you can add that to your order. Well, that's gonna conclude our look today. I do hope that it was helpful for you. Again, my name is Andy. Thank you for joining me.
