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 interior trim panels in your rear cargo area. You will have to remove all trunk floor coverings 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 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.

Exact fit and works perfectly
Easy install except for the hot wire to the battery. Luckily I found a [online] video where a guy was running a wire for an amplifier from the trunk to the battery. It would have been great if etrailer.com would have made one as they produce excellent installation videos. Unfortunately, the controller malfunctioned after very little use (hence the reduction of one star). I’d call it an infancy failure. However, etrailer.com’s excellent customer service helped me troubleshoot and determine it was a bad controller and worked with me to get a replacement (covered under warranty). Overall, very satisfied with this experience.
We ordered a trailer hitch for our 2016 Accord. That went on just fine, exactly as it should. When we ordered the hitch we clicked through on the recommended wiring. However that turned out to be for the coupe not the sedan. They have different plugs. So we sent that back. We then ordered the wiring for the sedan. Two are listed. One for Accords with LED taillights, the other for Accords without LED taillights. Well, all 2016 Accords have LED taillights. Some also have LED brakelights. How do I know this? I call our local Honda dealer. They don't know. They call the service department. They don't know. I finally downloaded the Accord 2016 manual - a more detailed version than comes with the car and that gives the needed information.
Anyways ... we got this installed and it works fine. It would be difficult as a DIY installation since you have to run the 12 V line from the front of the car, underneath and into the trunk. The knuckleheads that installed it for us drilled through a drain hole in the trunk despite there being an existing grommet 18 inches away that they could have used. I'd suggest that if you have this wiring installed on your car you review the video for the 2015 Accord wiring installation and based on that tell your mechanics exactly what you want.
Works as expected, Never gave the wireing much thought since I installed it. I only use my trailer on occasion.
No pictures available at this time.
Installed on a 2017 Honda Accord Sport. Easy installation up until the power tap was required. I opted to chase the 12 gauge wire (included in the kit) along a factory wire harness through the drivers side door jambs and hook into an existing hot-on-ignition-off circuit using a customized add-a-circuit fused tap. Took me a good hour or so to get the wire run but it is completely invisible.
Note to Accord drivers; there are a number of factory-installed body "plugs" or grommets in the floor of the trunk underneath the carpet. I cut the core out of one of these plugs, cut the 4-wire plug off, ran the cut end through the grommet and out to the hitch, then crimped the 4-wire assembly back together. A little duct sealant to prevent air leakage and you have a seamless, no-cut no-drill installation!
For 2016 Accord. Perfect engineering and install directions. Have recommended etrailer to many friends. Lighting kit as well
Installed this on a 2017 Honda Accord Sport (dual exhausts). This is probably the 5th or 6th hitch that I've installed on various vehicles and overall very simple. Hardest part was trimming the heat shields; to do this you'll need a pair of tin snips or a Dremel. It took me about 4 tries to get it "just right". With only three bolts and four nuts total you'd really have to try hard to screw this one up.
Your wiring harness works perfectly! I’m very satisfied!
Works great but definitely not any easy install. Having to run a power wire off the battery and snake it through the firewall and to the back is not for the average car owner.
Completely as advertised.
