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 rear scuff panel and interior side panels 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, 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.
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.

Quickly and easily install a 4-way trailer connector on your vehicle with this custom harness. T-connector plugs directly into existing wiring. Powered converter reduces strain on wiring system and is made using SMT to ensure superior performance.Did not give it a five, not because of the hitch, installation was simplistic enough, needs two men, but when it comes to the wiring you have to remove everything in the back of the Mitsubishi Outlander to put in the wiring and then you have to run a wire to the front to the battery, put in a fuse link, not included, to make it work. Should have bought a more simple connection. But, I will talk to tech and maybe modify what I bought to make it a straight connection with no converter.
Oh, by the way, the hitch looks good on my unit.
Just the part i needed. I've paid a shop to install these wiring harnesses on previous vehicles - really wonderful to just handle the installation myself. Thanks for the great how-to video etrailer!
We had a friend help install it and it was super easy to do! It got us literally across the country (California to Florida) and half way back (Florida to Kansas) again!!! It's a sturdy product that did it's job perfectly and I'm so happy with it! The price was fantastic, too! Especially considering how expensive hitches can be!!! You guys saved us a lot of money and stressduring a BIG move. Thank you!!!
Nice kit, can be a bugger to install due to needing to run wire for convertor all the way up to the battery. One issue with the instructions to note; on the driver's side connection, if you grab the first visible connectors behind the panel, they may not be the right ones. The T-connection will plug in but the harness will not operate correctly. My vehicle has the power-lift rear hatch and the correct connection to the taillight is hidden behind the motor that operates the hatch. So the motor must be removed to access the proper connection.
Could not be any happier with my trailer hitch equipment. Best price of all 7 places I got quotes from and the delivery, scheduled for 2 weeks from purchase, came 4 days after purchase on-line. My mechanic installed it this morning and said it was exactly the right product for my car. Thanks so much!
Works exactly as expected. It was a bit tight getting in behind the plastic cosmetic panels, but that's more of an issue with the vehicle design. The "T" connectors make it very easy. The 12V +ve lead is designed to be routed to the engine compartment for a regular Outlander. We have the PHEV which is much easier because the 12V battery is in the rear. The only way it would have been easier would be to have a PHEV dedicated version so that you don't have to cut and splice.
The trailer wiring kit was easy to install. The instructions were easy to follow.
Good product. The power cord could have been thought out better. It comes with 4-5" of power cord attached to the box, along with a fuse holder, and then 20' of power cord. Other than that, nice product.
I had a defective unit arrive, but etrailer stood behind their products and quickly sent me a working unit. I will always buy from etrailer for all my trailer needs in the future.
same with the harness. fits and works as it should. could not say anything negative about it.
thanks
Product was exactly what I ordered. Easy installation instructions, there was also a video on the installation. The shipping was also fast! Much appreciated! I will definitely use this company again! Thank you again!
Still working great. At first had an issue with the main box but with the excellent customer service they hooked me up with a new one after troubleshooting over the phone.
UPS LEFT IT AT THE DOOR DID NOT KNOCK CHECKED TIME OF DELIVERY IT WAS OUT SIDE MY DOOR FOR OVER AN HOUR. NEIGHBOR KNOCKED GAVE THE PACKAGE TO ME
Very happy with my purchase. Shipping was very fast and cheap. My hitch actually came earlier than forecasted. Great pricing and super fast shipping. You can't ask for much more.
Works as it should on a 2018 Mitsubishi Outlander.
I received my order today and am happy with how quick it got here. I haven't opened it yet won't be able to install it until the weekend.
This wiring system was really easy for our friend to install and easily tucked away when not in use! Love it.
It does it's job and I love it! Was such an easy install with easy to follow directions!
Everything went together and worked gre at
Received product as stated.
