Quickly and easily install a 4-way trailer connector on your vehicle with this custom harness. T-connector plugs directly into existing wiring - no cutting, splicing or tapping required. Converter is made using SMT to ensure superior performance.

    • Tail lights: 5 amps per circuit
  • Limited 1-year warranty


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.


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.


Curt SMT Circuit Boards

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.

So I received my order from etrailer today. I ordered this on Friday and it was on my door step on Wednesday. Considering they gave me free shipping on a trailer hitch that is around 50lbs, I think that is amazing! Everything came packaged as it said and using the videos posted online makes this one of the best ordering experiences I've ever had with any company. They give you a difficulty rating in the item description so you know of the task's difficulty. Also I love being able to watch the videos before I get the item so I already know how to assemble before the order is delivered.

I also ordered an electrical assemble for a different car through etrailor a few months ago and it was a great experience as well! Step by step instructions make it easy and they send you everything you need to do the job! Even an electrical tester so I didn't accidentally wire the car incorrectly. These guys really help you not fail!

Going forward I will always use etrailor if they have an item I need. Customer for life!

I was skeptical that this would be so easy to hook up. It literally took me 5 minutes. The hardest part was my old wiring on my car. Instructions were basic but exact. Thank you.

  • Trailer Wiring Harness for a 2003 Saturn Ion
    The only trailer wiring harness for your 2003 Saturn Ion is the Curt T-Connector # C56036 which tees into the wiring connectors behind your tail lights. So while it isn't a true plug and play connector, this kit doesn't require splicing into your OEM wiring so it is the next best thing. Plug and play usually means that there is a connector at the reach of the vehicle within reach so you don't have to get behind your tail lights. If you don't already have a trailer hitch installed on your...
