4-Way Trailer Connector Installation
Because the color/function of the wires on this connector may not match the color/function of those on your vehicle, be sure to use a tester (sold separately) to double check the function of each wire on your vehicle's tail light wiring harness before installing this connector. Once you've figured out the functions of your vehicle's wiring, use the included quick-splice connectors to connect the corresponding wires on the trailer connector. Quick-splices, or "wire taps," offer a quick way to make connections without you having to strip and twist wires. Just place the wires in it and snap the cover down.
The number 1 reason trailer wiring comes up faulty is a bad ground, so make sure your ground wire has a solid and clean connection to metal. To make this connection, you'll need a self-tapping screw and a ring terminal (sold separately).
Wiring Configuration
| Wire Color | Wire Function |
|---|---|
| Green | Right turn and brake light |
| Brown | Tail lights and running lights |
| White | Ground |
| Yellow | Left turn and brake light |
Quick Tips:
We install a lot of wiring harness around here, so we thought we'd share a few tips we've picked up over the years:
- Butt connectors - especially heat-shrink ones - provide the most secure, longest-lasting connection, so we'd recommend you grab a few and swap them out for the quick-splices in this kit.
- Use a circuit tester on the plug terminals once the harness is installed to make sure everything's working. There's nothing worse than figuring out that you have a bad ground or a faulty connection right before you're about to hit the road.
- Be sure to put a little bit of dielectric grease on the 4-way plug to protect the terminals from dirt, grime, and corrosion.

Perfect length and wired in with ease, Just wish it had a weather proof cap included. but still very happy
by: Will08/02/2023
Sent the wrong part after waiting 2 1/2 weeks
by: Gary M.09/06/2019
Will all I can say is it's a well-built good-looking product. It was very easy to install.And easy to wire it up.follow the instructions that you get am 71 years old and I did it All in 45 minutes.
When I was ordering this product customer service went out of their way to help me in any way they could.
I would recommend this company to anyone they are very pleasant people to do business with.and the shipping was right on time
by: Jeff01/20/2023
While it worked well, I threw out the supplied connectors and used more weather proof versions. But the wiring was long enough and I have had no issues with it.

1997 Pontiac Grand Prix
Wire harness works fine but had no instructions, not even a identifier for which color wire does what. No ring terminal included for the ground wire. I think an end cap should be included on the harness due to the fact that there is power at the plug end any time the vehicles lights are operating. I ordered connector cover 20112, fits well on this harness.

The 4 pole trailer connector part # C58044 is designed with a green wire, yellow wire, brown wire and white wire. The green wire wires into the right turn wire of the vehicles wiring harness. The yellow wires into the left turn signal of the vehicles wiring harness. The brown wire wires into the tail light signal. The white is the ground wire that needs to be grounded to a clean bare metal surface on the vehicle. A ring terminal that accepts 14 gauge wire such as part # DW05737-1 can be used to ground the white wire. If you would like an end cap on the 4 pole connector I recommend part # 20112 by tow ready to protect the end of the connector. I have also attached a wiring help article to assist with the installation.

This is a standard flat connector for attaching to a trailer. I don't have it installed yet, but it looks like it will work perfectly. The cable is long enough to connect to both rear lights.

I finally got it installed. My 87 Jeep has had the wiring modified several times in its life so nothing was as it was supposed to be. I finally got all of the previous mistakes unwired, returned it to normal and then added the connection for the trailer. It was easy to install and worked perfectly. I like it and use it all the time.

Hitch delivered quickly. The packaging is excellent. The condition of the hitch is new. The fixing kit, bolts and nuts correspond to the hitch. The video on the site was of great help in installing the hitch. I would like to have a video on the site how to connect the wires, but it's not difficult for an electrician. Problems with the installation of hitches on the car did not arise.

This Curt 4 pole part C58044 is a hardwire installation. I have attached a video of the hardwire installation for part # 18252 on a 2003 Pontiac Grand Prix. It is a different part number but the same installation. Although, I do recommend part # 56076 custom fit plug and play wiring harness for this vehicle. The plug and play option is a much easier installation.

Great, no issues. As good as the day I put it on.
by: Leonora04/20/2021
Had an embarrassing issue with one of the quick-splice connectors breaking - would recommend soldering all wires for longevity.
by: Virgil 03/31/2020
Perfect for the application and reasonable price. I believe etrailer.com has spent some time considering which wiring kit is best for each vehicle.
by: Danno04/27/2019
This attached very easily to my tail light wires. When not towing, I just shut it up in my trunk, and when I need to pull, I open the trunk and pull them out. I was very skeptical when I got the kit and saw the instructions, but it worked!
by: Johnny03/08/2020
I'll start by saying this arrived with my hitch in just a couple of days. It installed easily, as I have experience with wiring. It's high quality, and well made. I did not use the provided clamps that came with the wiring kit. I've found that splicing and soldering the connections with heat shrink tubing for protection is the best method.
by: MitchB06/13/2019
Easy install. Performs exactly as advertised. You will have to buy a special electrical kit to be able to hook up trailer lights.
by: DonB04/30/2017

Product worked okay, but the connectors didn't. They would not close and tap the main wires. I had to splice the wires in directly. Otherwise, It works.

I have ordered many times through etrailer.com and have never been disappointed. Great service and ever good products. I wish you were in my home town.
by: Dan D.03/31/2017
I have bought several items from etrailer for several years and I have never been disappointed, mislead, or had to return any of them. I have always found them to have several selections, thorough descriptions, competitive prices, and reasonable shipping charges. I live in a small town about an hours drive from any place adequately equipped for trailer needs. Internet shopping has solved this problem for me. Thank you etrailer.
by: Adam 08/20/2022
Just what I needed. Splice taps went right in the trash though. Crimp caps are reliable.
by: Tom 03/05/2020
I replaced the old wiring harness with this new one. Looks like a very good product.
by: Will M.02/27/2014
Great product and at a great price, "etrailer" has now become my number 1 stop shop for all my trailer needs now. Due to speed and unbeatable price.
by: Denny12/06/2016
Dealing with etrailer has been nothing but a joy to do business with. They have a great selection and very reasonably priced. Fast service and delivery. I wouln't hesitate to do business with them again. Looking at their products is like being a kid in a Candy Store.....lol. Their products are first rate quality.
by: Ryan04/09/2022
Very easy to install, hardest part is putting the trunk liner back in place. Watch the YouTube video to get the correct wire colors.

- Recommended Underbed 5th Wheel/Gooseneck Hitch for a 2015 Ford F-250It sounds like you're looking for the Custom Underbed Installation Kit for B&W Companion 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches # BWGNRK1111-5W. This hitch will install under your Ford's bed and will allow you to use the B&W Companion 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # BWRVK3500-5W as well as a gooseneck hitch with the included goose ball. Finally, for wiring, you're going to need to add a 4 flat first with # C58044 and then you can add a 7 way using # ETBC7.
view full answer... - Does Curt Trailer Wiring Harness part # C58044 Fit 2005 Ford MustangYes, we have confirmed with Curt that their universal style trailer wiring kit part # C58044 that you referenced is the correct fit for your 2005 Ford Mustang.

You can use the attached video to assist. You can route the connector down through panels or grommets to the hitch location. I recommend using a mounting bracket like # 18144. The s8sla trailer coupling preparation from what I can find means wires may be run but at not completed. I recommend using the above kit to avoid any issues and give you what you need.

This model will fit 1989 through 1996 models, but not the 1997 models which had a change to the frame that carried through 2006. If you will be towing with this light duty trailer hitch, I recommend the wiring harness # C58044 to splice into your wiring using the quick splice connectors. Then I recommend using ball mount # C45522 and hitch ball # C40018 or # C40001 depending on the hitch ball size required...
view full answer... - Trailer Wiring Harness for a 1989 Jeep Wrangler (YJ)If you bought wiring harness # 118356 then that would be the problem. This harness does not fit a 1989 Jeep Wrangler/YJ. The only trailer wiring harnesses we have listed for the YJ are hardwire harnesses, # 18252 or # C58044. If you bought a different harness let me know what it is and I can determine what it fits since there are no T-connectors for your YJ.

A USCAR 7-way socket is a standardized automotive electrical socket that provides a connection point for trailer wiring.

Here's what I recommend doing to determine if the issue is compatibility or just the wiring itself: Connect all of the wiring as the instructions call for it, and then use a circuit tester to see if the correct signals are on the correct wires prior to the converter box.

This hitch will not fit your 1994 Toyota Hiace. Unfortunately we do not have any custom hitches for your vehicle. The best solution I can offer is the Curt Adjustable Width Trailer Hitch Receiver for RVs, 22" to 72" Wide # 13703. This hitch will fit the measurements you provided and will require a weld on installation. It can also be bolted to the frame but that will require drilling. If you plan on doing some towing,...

If you are looking to tow under 5,000 lbs then all you would need is a hitch ball like the 2" Hitch Ball part # 40038 or the 2-5/16" Hitch Ball part # C40007. However, if you looking to tow in excess of 5,000 lbs then you would need a frame mount trailer hitch like the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C15316 which is a custom fit that provides you with a 2"...

It would not matter which of the tail light wires you use for this installation. Both wires carry the same circuit.

First off, you're going to need a 4 way trailer connector if one isn't already present. For this, I recommend using the Curt Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # C58044. This is a plug and lead style harness that includes quick splice connectors making installation much faster and easier. Now, once your 4 way is installed, you're going to need a 7 way....

view full answer... - Trailer Wiring Harness for 2017 Cadillac XT5 Without Factory Towing PackageFrom what I've been able to determine from my research, all of the 2017 Cadillac XT5 have the plug that is used to connect a trailer wiring harness, so the Tekonsha # 118720 should work for you. If for some reason the plug has been removed, you would need to hard-wire in a harness like the Curt # C58044, but this is extremely unlikely.

The inside width from mounting flange to mounting flange is approximately 40-15/16 inches. Outside it is 41-9/16 inches. Since this is a custom fit part provided you have a vehicle this hitch was designed for fit will not be a problem. Your 2002 Chevy Blazer is one of the vehicles this hitch fits. If you plan on doing some towing I recommend etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one...

If you already have a circuit tester (to allow you to confirm the function on each wire) you can use Curt harness # C58044. If not I suggest the Draw-Tite kit # 18252 which includes a probe tester and the quick splice connectors you'll use to wire the harness into your vehicle. I have linked an...

This will fit S-10 pickup models only. For your S-10 Blazer I do not have any plug and play options available.
