Installation
This custom-fit T-connector plugs into your vehicle's wiring harness, which is located on the driver's-side behind the tail light and beneath the vehicle. You will have to remove all cargo area floor coverings, storage trays, and the scuff panel to access these connection points. 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.This wire kit was pretty easy to install; the directions were very detailed and accurate. The only issue I ran into was there is a point in the instructions where you're running wires through a grommet that is way too small for the connectors and the instructions reference a new grommet that is not part of the kit. I just cut the old one to fit the new wires th through the side and it was all good. Routing the 12v wire was pretty simple; I had my car backed up on a pair of ramps and ran the wire along the brake and fuel rail on the driver side under the car. I punched this one up through that grommet too to plug in at the module. I don't use butt connectors; I always solder and heat shrink. Personal preference. In all, this was a straight forward and simple install.
Installed the lighting kit when I installed the trailer hitch. The wiring harness worked perfectly and made pulling the trailer a breeze.
The process of installing the Curt T-Connector Wiring Harness for my 2011 Kia Sportage went very well. I knew it would take quite a bit of time because of all the removal of the tail light, inner panels, etc. However, it is worth the time because of end result - a system that works, and appears almost factory installed. I highly recommend this product.
I love buying stuff from Etrailer.com. The listed products are the exact fit for my vehicle. The on line instructions make it very easy to install. I installed the hitch and wiring harness in just under 2 hours. I will buy stuff from this site again
Worked as expected. A little difficult to install, even after watching the installation video.
Would have loved to have had a grommet made into wires on t connector that goes through trunk pan, down to factory harness that goes to left rear tail light.
Would gladly have spent a few more dollars for that bit to be pre made than having to cut the grommet and then patch it with the rtv sealant.
Besides that, install went very well.
Wow, great super fast service. Impressed , Thank You
Easy to install. Instructions need to be slightly modified for the 2016 model year.
Missing replacement rubber grommet that was supposed to be included in the kit, otherwise okay.
The wiring system worked exactly as described and the video guide was very helpful. Other than a few rusted bolts on my vehicle I installed the system with no issue and so far it has function and worked well within my expectations for a full year. Great product.
Arrived as scheduled. Package contained all necessary parts and in good condition.
Very pleased with the product . Harness was easily installed and works great. Glad I found this company
Arrived sooner than expected. Haven't installed yet but looking over instructions appears they appear clear and easy to follow for me not having much knowledge on wiring anything. Great follow up with notification from etrailer. Install will hopefully be tomorrow.
Fit perfectly and as expected. Installation was a little challenging but the walk-through was very concise. Thank you. I will definitely order from etrailer again in the future.
No harder to install than any other wiring kit fit perfectly instructions were great.
looks like everything is there but box was damaged and hitch was sticking out
Wiring product was good but missing the grommet for the 2016 Sportage. Other then that pretty self explanatory

Love your products. It is the only hitch I will purchase and your wiring kit was fantastic. I work at different campgrounds around the country, mainly east coast but I tell everyone about your products. Thanks for making products that actually fit and do what what consumers pay for. Love your stuff.
Piece of cake install. 76 years old and did it right my myself.
My mantra: "I've done so much with so little for so long right by myself till I can do almost anything with nothing when I'm not even there."
Wiring was simple and easy to install
Great customer service!
Wonderfull web based support. Great attention and very polite attentive service
Said the part was in stock and would be delivered within the week, ended up taking over a month.
All your product are well explained. I love the videos. Help out HUGE! It helps because so many makes and models. Give you a little idea of what you will encounter on the install.
Still working great, no problems, easy install.
Easy to install and works great so far.
Everything came in one box. Great site to grab everything in one spot. Will order again.
Wiring was easy for a DIY and worked Totally as Advertised.
