Installation
This custom-fit T-connector plugs into your vehicle's wiring harness, which is located in your rear cargo area. You will have to remove the tail light trim panel and tail lights 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, route the 4-way connector along the rear bumper and zip tie as needed. Mount the 4-flat close to the receiver tube.
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.

My husband installed he said the power wire was the most cumbersome but the rest of was simple
excellent product, perfect fit on my Mitsubishi outlander 2023. easy to install and great customer support.
The quality of the hitch and wiring harness was excellent, the tolerances on the hitch were spot on for the vehicle and the installation was fairly easy after reading the included instructions and also watching an install video on you tube. The total install time was about 5 hours but that is based on the fact that I am disabled so it took my wife and I longer plus we wanted all of the wiring to be run with very little exposure We chose to go with the plug and place wiring harness rather than cutting and splicing and that was a huge benefit that I strongly recommend and if you chose to go this way I recommend that you also purchase the Loctite high performance silicone gasket maker because you will need to cut the rubber grommets where the factory wiring comes through the fender. We cut the grommets ran the wiring reinstalled the grommets and the used the gasket maker to repair the cuts. We did not have to detach the muffler as you are able to work the hitch over it and then bolt in place. It is a great hidden hitch as all you see is the receiver box and it looks as though it was factory installed After completing the installation we hooked up to the 9 foot utility trailer she wants to pull and connected the 4-pole flat connector to the trailer and all lights worked as required with no adjustments or do overs necessary. Highly recommend this retailers site especially the ease of finding hitches and accessories by specific vehicle year, make, and manufacturer. Quality products at a fair price.
Works great super easy to install until you get to the power cord. Took around an hour to install.
This harness is relatively easy to install, yellow to the left, green to the right, black to the battery, and then your towing cable. It comes with pre-wired light connectors so you don't really have to identify each individual light. Only problem is that if you want to install this harness and still use the water rubber seal behind the light, you will need to cut the cables between both tail lights and the control unit and then rejoin them so that you can put the cables through the rubber seal and not the side of it, otherwise you are leaving that water seal open. I looked for other options but I could not find any other space, even the instructions direct you to pass the cables between the bodywork and bumper, which is the cleanest path, but again, you have that problem with the rubber seal. Adding a couple of connectors could make a whole difference.

Hi,
To order it is not a problem, but there was a mistake in the order, it is not the right trailer hitch, so I wanted to return it to change the trailer hitch, but nobody wanted to help me, because the return costs xxx$ Canadian, which is the price of the trailer hitch. So no I didn't get a good after sales service
Don't like the fact that it has to be connected all the way to the battery. But it works, just too much work to install.
Sounds easy once it has the connectors built in, but ends up being harder than the one with the splitters, because the car connector is behind a rubber sealant cap, and the harness connector cannot pass through the cap, affecting the sealing, which could cause a short circuit.
Great Harness. Pretty much plug and play. easy to install. the easy part was plugging the harness to the tail lights. No spicing to worry about. the only hard part was running the black power wire to the battery.
Pretty simple to install, no cutting into your factory wiring. The hardest part is running the power wire.
Very easy installation
Excellent service.
Perfecto for my outlander 2022
Fast delivery but what I appreciate more is the communication. Very friendly and help!

Its recommended that you remove the grommet in question and slice from the edge to the center with a sharp utility knife. This allows you to pass the connection between the opening. You can then reseal the grommet using some RTV sealant like part # LT37467.
