Installation
This custom-fit T-connector plugs into your vehicle's wiring harness, which is located behind the driver's-side interior trim panel in your rear cargo area. Once you've plugged in the T-connector, insert the included 10-amp fuse into the integrated fuse holder. Then install the 10-amp mini fuse and two 7.5-amp mini fuses in the rear fuse panel.
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 plug 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. Connector plugs directly into existing wiring. Powered converter reduces strain on wiring system and is made using SMT to ensure superior performance.Worked perfectly for my 2015 Honda Odyssey minivan. Easy to install. I popped out the auxiliary power port in the panel near the plug and enlarged the hole enough to get the adapter through and then replaced the plug. The wiring now sits neatly in the side bin when not needed.
The wiring harness lasted less than 2 years. No fuses were blown, the diodes in the Curt controller just stopped working - sending a low voltage to the trailer lights all the time. This is the second Curt trailer wiring harness that has failed on my vehicles.
Extremely simple install with easy to follow written and video instructions
Easy installation, took approx 25 minutes or so. Pulled back trim and plugged in... EASY. Came with everything I needed including fuses, twist ties, and adhesive for unit.
Must difficult part was making sure I could find the right fuse locations in the car to add.
Bought with receiver kit. Whole installation took approximately 45 minutes (a little longer to make sure wiring was put in place).
2 days later used it unexpectedly to retrieve friend's broken down vehicle... worked great!
Easy to install

Works great. Happy with purchase
Very easy to install. I did not like the idea of the wiring just hanging in the trunk area, so I cut an opening into the storage compartment on the side trim panel so I could feed the wiring into it and keep it there when not in use.

did the same thing. worked well. Thanks for the idea.
Very easy to install with the help of the installation video! Works great!
Great product. Perfect fit
Once the wiring harness arrived, it was installed in less than 20 minuets. Tested it out on the trailer and everything worked great. If I need sports in the furture, this is the first place I’ll look.
Thank you
Easy install with directions and video combined covering most steps. Harness had additional multi connector that was not used (but not mentioned in any directions). Glad I read earlier review that noted this before my install. Decided to store harness in vacuum hatch when not in use.
Quick install. Easily fit in fuse box. Though I pulled the wire out the side as seen in the pic rather than at the bottom of the door opening. There was an extra white connector but I didn't see anything to connect it too, so I disconnected it.
Good service. Great products. Quick shi pping.
Delivered quickly. This is a gift for early April so it won’t be installed till mid April.
So easy, everything included!
20 minute installation. Couldn't ask for it to be any easier. I watched you tube videos and they were spot on.
I was t-shooting a dealer install of a hitch/harness on my 2008 Odyssey using etrailer's very helpful information. After some time I ruled out the obvious fixes and narrowed it down to the harness but nothing specific. This harness replaced the other and it has performed flawlessly since.

I have not had any issues with this harness since installation and it has been several trips to the lake and down to FL.
Let me tell you a story....my husband, two young children, and myself just moved from Maryland to Florida during a pandemic. Talk about stressful. Couple that with the fact that my son is high risk, my husband was starting a new position at Eglin, AFB, I myself am teleworking full time, and everything that COULD go wrong with our move DID go wrong. I found out three days before we were to DEPART that the trailer hitch I ordered through a local mechanic arrived with the WRONG WIRING HARNESS. For this move my famiy and I had a real tight timeline to get down to Florida...real tight. Having no wiring harness to pull the 5x8 trailer meant near disaster (what were we pulling might you ask? A trailer full of my dearly departed father in laws tools...like 1,500lbs of SENTIMENTAL TOOLS). I called e-trailer in a panic... pretty much full on panic and the LOVELY man I spoke with assured me that 1. they had a wiring harness that would fit my 2016 Honda Odyssey and 2. It would arrive in time for us to install and depart. I'm going to admit I was skeptical. VERY skeptical but I gleefully paid and thanked the gentleman I spoke with. NAY TWO DAYS LATER the harness arrived EARLY!!! We installed it EASILY and without issue (I can update with pictures later but...it looks like a wiring harness) stuffed our minivan full of kids and crap and slapped the trailer on the back of it. We made our 15 hour drive to our new home (aside from the fact that my children are terrible in the car and pretty much scream puked the entire time) easily. I am seriously impressed with the customer service I received AND the excellent pricing (although to be honest I would have paid WHATEVER to get the darn thing on time). I cannot recommend this company and this part (seriously easy to install...I did it with a 3.5 year old clinging to my leg, a 6 year old blaring the horn and a very tired husband observing). ANYWAY thank you e-trailer y'all really are the best.

Everything worked great for our move and continues to work perfectly!
Easy installation
Product arrived on time and as promised. Installation was a snap. Instructions included with the product for installation into my 2011 Honda Odyssey were OK, but a bit light on details for removing the scuff panel and rear side panel prior to installation. Fortunately, I viewed a video on etrailer.com that showed installation on a 2012 Odyssey that clearly showed what to do to remove the panels from the van. This was absolutely fantastic knowledge that helped me, a first-timer in this sort of thing, gain the confidence I needed to do the work. Thanks go to the etrailer.com folks for their online info like this! I will point out that I had the advantage that I was changing out a dealer-installted defective unit, so I could see basically what the final install was supposed to look like. Bet even without that, this would have been easy because of the info at this site.

Everything is still working just great. I will comment that with the new LED trailer lights I installed about the same time, when the van is turned off and the trailer is still plugged in all the trailer lights glow very dim only notice it when it is dark out. Not sure if this is a wiring issue on the trailer or what, and it seems to do no harm.
My Curt wiring harness shipped quickly and worked fine when I installed it. I thought it was expensive but then it had molded connectors so I'm sure that drives the price up. The instructions could have been better.....left me guessing a few things but that's no reflection on etrailer.....they're great.

Still happy
Shipped overnight as promised, installation straightforward. Worked right off the bat. Hard to beat.
YOU ARE THE BEST AND THIS IS THE SECOND TIME I BUY OR ORDER SOMETHING NO MATTER WHAT I ALWAYS GETS MY ORDER ON TIME VREY GOOD THANK.YOU
The product arrived as promised, the order was complete, everything fit beautifully, The instructions and videos were spot on. Another customers review to tap "clean" the factory blind nuts, was an excellent suggestion. In short this was my 3rd hitch purchase, and I continue to be completely satisfied.

has worked as expected, fully satisfied. thanks
Harness was pretty easy to install. Came with two connectors for fuse box; one fit nicely but have no idea what the extra connector is for. Nothing mentioned in literature or video.

Well, I installed this item myself. Left turn signal did not work properly. I ordered another wiring set and had my garage install it. I had pinched a wire! New wiring harness works fine now.
The packaging was a little suspect, but the product looked new. The installation went well. The video was excellent.
