Installation
This custom-fit T-connector plugs into your vehicle's wiring harness, which is located on the driver's side and passenger's side of your trunk. You will have to remove the trunk floor coverings and rear 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 trunk.
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.

Today we're going to be reviewing part number C56264. This is the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness with the 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector. This system is designed for the Hyundai Genesis, beginning in 2015. It's going to come with everything that you need for complete installation. It's going to provide your 4-way flat trailer connector at the back of your vehicle to power your trailer's signal lights. That S unit is going to be compatible with 5-pole, 6-pole and 7-pole adapters.
Those are available here at etrailer.com and sold separately. The great thing about the T-Connector system is that it connects quickly and easily. All you have to do is locate the connection points at the rear of your vehicle inside your trunk. It's got this nice T-connectors that simply just plug in to the specific locations that just snap in place. No wiring or cutting or trimming or splicing of wires is needed. The T-Connector system just snaps into place on each side of the vehicle.
Plug in the T-Connector and then all you have to do is run the hot lead which is going to be this black wire here to the battery which is also located in the trunk of the Genesis. This portion right here is going to be your fuse holder. It's going to come with the fuse and the plastic bag. Stick it in there and then the terminal coming out the other end of the fuse holder is going to connect to the battery. This box right here is going to be the taillight converter. This is going to ensure that your vehicle's wiring matches that of your trailers.
The powered module connects directly to the battery to avoid overloading vehicle's electrical system. That's also a great feature to have in place. Now, this unit is constructed using surface-mount technology (SMT) for consistent, reliable performance. It's going to maximize the trailer light yield and intensity while producing minimal heat. It's also going to ensures superior operation even in rough road conditions.
Here on the 4-way flat connector, it's going to come with the dust cap. That way you can always protect those connection points. The maximum amperage with this system with this system for the stop and turn lights is 3.0 amps per circuit. For the taillights, it's going to be 6.0 amps per circuit. In this bag, it's going to come with some zip ties, that way you can secure some of the excess wire up and out of the way. It's going to come with some butt connectors, a ring terminal, a self tapping screw for the ground connection. Which is going to be this white wire here. It's going to come with the included fuse. Some double sided adhesive tape, that way you can mount the taillight converter box in a nice secure place where it's going to be up and out of the way, not interfering with anything. Now, Curt also provides really nice detailed instructions. It's got it listed out and looks like it's going to be a 12-step installation. That also include nice, detailed pictures with your particular vehicle on it. It's going to show you and illustrate well all the way through the installation. Once your installation is complete, the 4-way Connector will be stowed in and out of the way location within our trunk. Always keep in mind that it is recommended that you use this small amount of grease on all electrical connections. The plugs on your automobile and the 4-pole connector itself and that's just to help prevent corrosion. If you don't have any grease, dial at your grease, you can pick up some right here at etrailer.com. It should be underneath the related items on this product's product page. That's going to do it for our review of part number C56264. This is the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness with the 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector. .
