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 tail lights. You will have to remove the tail light assemblies to access this harness. 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 trunk.
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.

Quickly and easily install a 4-way trailer connector on your vehicle with this custom harness. T-connector plugs directly into existing wiring. Powered converter reduces strain on wiring system and is made using SMT to ensure superior performance.Video instructions were very good. Good quality connectors, easy to insall. Note that if you're doing this on an Escape Hybrid like I was, installation is much easier because the 12v battery is right in the rear compartment under the spare tire. The hardest part of the job on a non-hybrid would be snaking the wire under the car to the engine compartment (which I wasted time starting to do before realizing I didn't have to. Doh!).
Great kit. I wish I had watched the video first but I was outdoors and charged ahead with the printed instructions which had me removing a taillight before I realized that was not necessary to gain access to the plug.
Great product and easy install. Installation instructions were very helpful.
Everything that I needed was in the kit undamaged. I used the installation video and everything went according to the video. I am quite pleased and will purchase from etrailer in the future.
Everything was perfect. All items shipped and arrived when stated. The video for installation was perfect.
Thank you.
It fit very well on my 2020 escape. No issues. Took almost an hour due to very small cut to fit the backing in the hole which was explained in the tutorial video. Im happy to get this rather than spending over a grand from the dealer.
Open box and found order in tact, without unwrapping nuts & bolts. Had one of these receivers on a previous car and had no problems.
Very easy installation!
Easy to install. Arrived sooner than expected. Great customer service!
Great product. Easy install. No exposed wires
Awesome delivery service
It’s a little tricky to get installed but if you take your time it works great. No issues at all with the product.
Very fast service. I received my order very quick.
A couple of parts were missing but an overall excellent product with good support.
As advertised for 2020 Ford Escape Hybrid. Order was shipped immediately with updated tracking. Video helpful during installation. Having the battery in the same area made for an easy install. Have purchased through E-trailer several times and customer service has always been great. Would not hesitate to use again.
The wiring package went well thanks to your video. Everythiung was spot on.
This wiring is for add-on trailer hitch and allows connecting tail-lights wiring from RV without cutting original vehicle wiring when being towed.
Came with everything that was needed for installation except for the criping pliers. If I can do it you can do it.
Super easy with the Hybrid model, since the battery is under the spare tire and you don't need to remove the tail lights, all the connections needed are behind the rear side panels.
The installation video was super helpful! - Watch the video, then go under the vehicle and take a look since things are always 100% the same (my heat shield was slightly different), then watch the video again. You'll need to purchase a die grinder drill bit on [online] for $10 if you don't already have one. Wear eye protection! Everything went super smoothly!
Works fine but package didn't contain a fuse, adhesive tape for module ,a ground screw, or wire ties per description (photo)
Great customer service and knowledge about the parts. Thank you so much
Great price and Fast shipping. The step by step videos are excellent and spot one. Customer for life. Can’t say enough good things about e trailer.
was super easy to install works perfect.
“Real” customer service. Great product, fast shipping, outstanding communication.
