Hey Paul, thanks for reaching out. Yea that Curt # C56386 T-connector is a bit more tricky since it has 3 T-connectors instead of the typical two.
To summarize, the connector with the yellow wire plugs in behind the driver side taillights. The connector with the red wire goes to the separated vehicle connectors by the ceiling light in the rear ceiling panel. Then the connector with the green wire goes behind the passenger side taillights. If you look at the included instructions, steps 8 thru 11 go over where to attach each connector. Hope this helps!
