Video Transcript for Curt Custom Fit Vehicle Wiring - Trailer Hitch Wiring - C55240 Review
Today we're going to take a look at the Curt t-connector vehicle wiring harness with the four-way flat trailer connector for the factory tow packages. This is a custom-fit part, it is designed to fit the 1996-2003 Chevrolet Express vehicles and GMC Savannah vehicles. On a custom-fit part I always like to recommend to go to our website, use our fit guide, put in your year and model vehicle and it will show you if this will work for you application. This harness will provide a four-way flat trailer connector at the back of your vehicle to power your trailer signal lights. This particular harness is designed for vehicles with the factory tow package. This does connect very quickly and easily; there's no cutting or splicing or wires. Basically you locate the connection point that's in the rear cargo area, plug that it, ground your white wire, run the four-way out the back and you're all ready to go. It also comes with this nice dust cap that you can pop onto the four-way just like this over the plug itself.
You can leave it on there if you like, and then when you're not plugged into your trailer just put that dust cover over the terminals, it protects the terminals from any damage or from the elements themselves. A few specs on this: the maximum amperage on the stop and turn light circuits is three amps per circuit, for the tail lights it's five amps total. It does come with everything shown here, it has a nice set of detailed instructions that describe how to install it and even gives you pictures of you connection points. Comes with some cable ties that take up any slack in the wiring, and it comes with a ground screw. Basically, when you go to install this it's very simple basically what you do is go to the rear cargo area of the vehicle and you locate your factory tow harness connector, which is usually behind the jack storage cover on the vehicle. Once you find that you'll just take the cap off and plug this into that connector. You have this white wire with the outlet on it, you want to connect this to a good, clean ground, so they do include a grounding screw.
Drill a hole, make a good clean ground. Once those are all connected, just run this length of wire out the back and then take your cover off and you'll have it plug into your trailer and it will supply the lights on your trailer. That should do it for the review of the Curt t-connector vehicle wiring harness with the four-way flat trailer connector for the factory tow packages.

1997 Chevrolet Express Van
I needed to rent a utility trailer to move some furniture. None of the local auto parts stores had a easy quick connector for trailers. I contacted this company and they had an exact fit connector. I simply snapped it in and I was ready to go. Plus, they shipped it real fast.

I love it, it plugged right in to the plug behind the brake light wiring Work great.

1998 Chevrolet Express Van
The Curt Electrical Harness is great, snapped right into the Van connection; however, the Hopkins 48595 mounting bracket that I ordered for the Curt 4-way connection doesn't work, it isn't made to be compatable with the Curt connector, so the Hopkins 48595 mounting bracket was a waste of money. Maybe I overlooked any compatibility notes, if not, you should have compatibility notes, something like Hopkins mounting bracket not compatable with Curt 4 way connector.

1998 Chevrolet Express Van
Exactly what I needed. Plugged right into the original1998 Conversion Van factory install wiring. (I was afraid the wiring might not work after all these years) Tested and wow trailer lights work. Saved me a bundle, Chevrolet dealer wanted $150 to install wiring harness. I do not have the convenience of wiring being hidden under the van permanently, however I can live with pulling through the back doors when required, because I will only pull trailer occasionally with this vehicle.
Thanks for the fast service.

See what our Experts say about this CURT Custom Fit Vehicle Wiring
- Selecting Factory-Style or Aftermarket-Style Trailer Wiring Harness for 2002 Chevy Express VanYou can check behind the Express van's passenger side trim panel in the rear cargo area to see if it has connection points for factory replacement wiring. Factory 4-pole items # 118240 and # C55240 both use the same type of square connector, shown in the linked image. If you find this type of connector then you have probably have the tow package; if so, you may need to install a fuse or relay to activate it. If you do not have this factory wiring connection point then instead you can use...

- Troubleshooting Both Trailer Turn Signals Coming On Dimly with Turn Signal of 1999 Chevy Express VanThat sounds like there is an issue with the ground wire or the connection between your trailer connector and the connectors on your 1999 Chevrolet Express Van. If you have the factory tow package you should have a ground wire like what the Curt # C55240 has so I would start with making sure that is securely connected to clean, corrosion free metal. Now if you do NOT have the factory tow package your harness will not have a ground wire that needs to connect to the frame of your vehicle...
