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 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. 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.

Hello neighbors, Steven here with etrailer.com. Today we're looking at our Curt T-connector Vehicle Wire Harness with our four pole trailer connector. Now folks, this is a custom fit application. It fits a 01 through 2006 Mitsubishi Montero. Double check that though with our fit guide here at etrailer.com. Top center of our homepage, enter your year, make and model and any kind of other information it asks you to ensure you're getting the correct parts the first time.
Now folks, this will provide you with a nice four pole flat connector or a four-way, some people call it, at the back of your vehicle. And that'll let you plug in your trailer and then in turn, power up your trailer's turn signals and lights. It is technically compatible with a five, six, or seven pull adapter. You can get those separately here at etrailer.com. And it's a quick, no splice, no drill connection.
So at the back of your vehicle in the cargo area, you're gonna pull off a couple panels per the instructions. Follow those and you'll unplug the taillight connector. You'll plug one of these guys back into the taillight and you'll plug the taillight connector in the other one. So that's why they call it a T-connector. It's making the letter T, very simple plug and play connection.
Super simple. Now you've got this black box here and a double sided adhesive that would go on here and get pressed into the vehicle behind one of those panels, again per the instructions. And this guy is what they call your brain of the the whole kit or the surface mount technology. It's gonna give you consistent, reliable output of voltage and amperage. And it's also gonna con protect the vehicle against back feed.
The max amperage on your stop turn lights is three amps per circuit, while five amps per circuit's gonna be on your taillights. You do also get a ground wire here to ground it to the metal frame of the vehicle. You got a nice self tapper here to do that. You also get a dust cap to go over the four pole connection whenever it's installed and all the zip ties to install it. Now once this is installed in your cargo area, it does actually come out and go underneath the vehicle. So I recommend getting an electrical mounting bracket that's sold separately here at etrailer. The first one I recommend is what they call a short bracket. It's 18140 and it has a hose clamp included that's gonna get you around the hitch and it's going to mount up to and mate with a C42CR connector. And those two mounting brackets together will let you mount this up out of the way, nice and tight and clean next to the hitch tube on the hitch itself. That way you never have to look for it whenever you're hooking up your trailer. Folks, that's gonna wrap it up. You got a nice one year limited warranty with this connector today. And I am Steven, thank you so much again for your time. Stay safe out there, as always while you're towing.
