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 beneath your vehicle, near the trailer hitch. A mounting bracket (sold separately) is recommended to keep the connector secure.
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.Trailer wiring installed with ease and worked as expected.
The hitch was installed in the stated amount of time and operated as designed. Hauled lite weight boat trailer 170 miles with out a problem. Lighting worked as intended.
Too complicated. A wiring harness that links to a rear tail light is much simpler. Aside from that the wiring works as it's supposed to, but the connector is stored in the trunk of the car until needed.
The Cort hitch works fine on the Buick Lacrosse, but will drag when entering or leaving a steep driveway. I don't think Buick intended for this car to be fitted with a hitch.
Went together well. Running the power from the battery was a pain. If I had a lift, it would have been easier.
Was easy to install and worked like a c harm
Perfect fit on 2013 buik lacrosse
I am very satisfied with my trailer hitch and wiring purchased from etrailer for my 2011 Buick LaCrosse.
The trailer hitch and electrical kit I ordered arrived in a timely manner. The install was pretty easy and although I have not used it, seems to be a great buy. Thank you for the instructional videos!
Worked as designed. I do a lot of my clients work with parts and supplies from etrailer. Great company and great products. Pay attention to the install video. They warn you about how tight the application is fishing up the harness. The video gave me the heads up and the trick to make it work. Thanks again.
The product for the LaCross came complete with fused block for power to the turn signal module. Our trailer (6 x 8) is equipped with LED lighting for better function and visibility.
Highly recommend the product, but the service and follow up from etrailer is the best on the web.
Thank you!
Outstanding, the ease of installing and adaptation to design of car was superb, a true credit to your Engineering design staff. My son and I order all of our needs from etrailer, we have never had any issues and the designs are outstanding.
Great product. I installed this on a 2015 Buick Lacrosse (Dual exhaust). The dual exhaust did not effect installation. The reason I gave 4 stars is because it was very very very hard to feed the connector that plugs into the rear car lights between the car and the body. I had to pry the body of the car away with a screw driver to allow enough room to sneak the connector up. Just pointing it out, does not make the installation immpossible, just a bit harder. I recommend this product for a 2015 Buick Lacrosse because that is the only vehicle installation I have done.
Received hitch and wire harness a day ahead of schedule, packed in same box and arrived undamaged.
I was able to install this myself due to simple, clear instructions. It's components are made up of quality materials, are well packaged, and one year later it still functions as intended.
I have no problem endorsing this and would definitely buy again. It turned a headache into a manageable task!
E-trailer hitches come fast! And at a great price!!
installation was very easy instruction very clear.
This product was of excellent quality.
etrailer service and speedy replies are the beat of all!
Easy hook up had delivered to another state to use in moving across country. Flew in hooked up and worked perfectly.
Works great,easy to install.
Good Quality and easy to install
