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 interior trim panels in your rear cargo area.
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 plugs on your automobile and the 4-pole connector itself - to help prevent corrosion.
Tail Light Converter with Surface-Mount Technology
A tail light converter is built into this T-connector. 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.

Never bought or installed a towing hitch before. I contacted etrailer on the recommendation of a friend. Nik M at etrailer was thoroughly professional and competent in helping me select the correct assy's required to complete the project. Shipping was fast and installation was very straight forward. I had some minor technical questions and they were handled in a timely and satisfactory manner. Excellent experience and would highly recommend etrailer. I have another towing hitch project in mind and I will be calling them about it.

1998 Chevrolet Express-Van
The instructions were a bit confusing and took me a minute to figure it out. Once I stopped looking at the pictures, nice but not informative enough, and looked at the harness and tail light assemblies, I figured it out pretty quick.
It all snapped together and worked great. I would give it 5 starts if the instructions were a bit more clear.
Over all, I'll order again when I am ready to install one for my truck.

See what our Experts say about this CURT Custom Fit Vehicle Wiring
- Trailer Wiring Connector for 1999 Chevy Express VanAttempting to wire a 4 pole like the # 18002 into the taillight system of your 1999 Express won't work, as you've found. The 1999 Express uses what is referred to as a separate or a 3 wire taillight system, where the running lights, turn signals and brake lights are carried on 3 different circuits. If your van had a 2 wire system, where the running lights were on one circuit and the turn signals and brake lamps were combined on the same circuit, the # 18002 would've worked fine, but since...
view full answer... - Installing 4-Pole Trailer Connector on 1992 GMC SafariAt one time, I believe there was a plug and play-type connector available, but due to the age of the vehicle and low demand, our suppliers no longer have them available. The lighting system of the first generation Safari is pretty simple. You can use our hardwire kit, part # 18252. Use the included circuit tester to find the correct functions behind the vehicle tail lights. Connect the white wire to a good ground, the brown wire to the tail light circuit, the yellow wire to the left turn...
view full answer... - Do I Need to Ground Wiring Harness C55335 On A Chevy Express VanI contacted the tech at Curt and the wiring harness part # C55335 is internally grounded inside the wiring harness. There is not a need to ground the white wire separately because it is built into the wiring harness. The instructions Curt sent were universal instructions. You can just plug into the vehicle's wiring behind the driver's side and passenger's-side rear interior trim panels and it works.
view full answer... - Where Does the Trailer Wiring Harness Install on a 1996 GMC Savana VanYou are correct. The Curt wiring harness, # C55335, plugs in line with the tail light wiring and you will not have to splice into the wires at all. I have included a link to the installation details for you to view. Models that originally came with a 4-Way from the factory but need a replacement would use a different harness, # 118240. I have included a link to a video that shows how this harness installs.
view full answer... - Recommended Trailer Hitch and Wiring for 1997 Chevrolet Express Conversion VanThe trailer hitch I recommend for a 1997 Chevrolet Express Van is the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver part # e98861 which should be a direct bolt-on fit though keep in mind it is designed to be used with a standard rear bumper. This trailer hitch has a 10,000 lb gross trailer weight rating and 1,000 lb tongue weight rating which will be plenty. If you don't already have a trailer connector, you'll need the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness part # C55335 which is plug-n-play then...
view full answer... - 4-Way Trailer Wiring Harness For 1999 Chevy Express VanWe do have a 4-way that fits your 1999 Chevy Express van, but the # 118377 is not a fit. Instead, the correct one will depend on if you need to replace your factory 4-way or if your van did not have a 4-way at all and you want to install one: - Replace Factory 4-Way: Replacement OEM Tow Package Wiring Harness # 118240 - Install 4-Way: T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness # C55335
view full answer... - Dimensions of Trailer Hitch for 1997 GMC Savana VanThe etrailer.com Trailer Hitch # E98861 will fit your 1997 GMC Savana so long as it is a cargo or passenger van model; if you take a look at the photo of the dimensions of this hitch you can see that the bolt holes are also 40" apart like you said yours were. I have added a link to a video of a similar hitch, the Curt # 14090, being installed on a '97 GMC Savana which you can use as a guide for your installation. For wiring which will give you a 4-way connector and allow you to power...

- Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver and Vehicle Trailer Wiring for a 1997 Chevy Express VanThe Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 75189 is confirmed to fit your 1997 Chevrolet Express Van. Since it sounds like you don't have the factory tow package you will want to go with the Curt T-Connector # C55335 for wiring. If your Van happened to have the factory tow package then you will use part # 118240 instead. If you just need the 4-Pole connector then I recommend also installing the Mounting Bracket 4-Pole Flat # 18144 along with the No-Drill Bracket # C57202 for a quick...
view full answer... - 7-Way and Brake Controller Recommendation for a 1998 Chevy Express VanYou will need to start with a 4-way on your 1998 Chevy Express Van. For that you would want the # C55335 that you referenced. From there you would need to convert the 4-way to a 7-way so that you can install the brake controller. For that you will want the Brake Controller Install Kit and 7-Way Adapter part # ETBC7 and extension part # 10-2-1 since you have a longer vehicle. I attached installation instructions and an install video for this product as well. For a brake controller I would...
view full answer... - 4-Way Trailer Wiring Recommendation for 1998 GMC SavanaIs there any trailer wiring at the rear of your vehicle? Most likely you wouldn't be looking for trailer wiring if your vehicle already had a 4-way as that is what the part # C55335 is designed to provide. This harness is a fit for your 1998 GMC Savana and will work well for you. The great thing about this harness is that even if your vehicle did have the factory 4-way this would still fit your vehicle and work perfectly fine. I attached an install video for you to check out as well.
