Installation
This custom-fit T-connector plugs into your vehicle's wiring harness, which is locatedin the rear cargo area, behind the driver's-side and passenger's-side tail lights. You will have to remove all trunk floor coverings and the rear scuff panel, and you will need to pull back the felt trunk liner to access these connection points. Once you've plugged in the T-connector, run the hot lead 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.
Powered Tail Light Converter with Surface-Mount Technology
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.
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.

2012 Chevrolet Volt
This is a very easy wiring harness to put in Your car. The only think that is time consuming is running the the 12 volt cable from the battery to the trunk. this cable gets connected to the wiring harness black wire. You will have to run wires to the left and the right of the trunk and after You get the wires ran all You have to do is unplug the tail light wires and insert the new plug into the tail light plug and put it all back together Nothing to the entire thing was hard. It comes with a great book that tells You how it has to be connected. I have bought a few of these t-connector units and its turned out fantastic!

See what our Experts say about this CURT Custom Fit Vehicle Wiring
- Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2018 Chevy MalibuFor your 2018 Chevy Malibu the best hitch option is the Draw Tite part # 36652 which is a confirmed fit. I really like this hitch the best because it has a non-visibly cross tube which means it would be more concealed. For trailer wiring you'd want the part # C56313 for if you have a Premier and part # C56387 for if you do not.
view full answer... - Recommended Ball Mount for Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver on 2017 Chevrolet Malibu PremierThe Curt Class II ball mount, part # C45521, is what is recommended with the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver, part # C12185, on your 2017 Chevrolet Malibu Premier. However, to find the correct ball mount for your trailer you should find the rise or drop you need by measuring. I've linked an article to help you with this, plus I've also linked our selection on ball mounts that will fit the Curt hitch receiver. In addition you'll need a trailer wiring harness. The Curt # C56313 fits your...
view full answer... - Recommended Hitch for a 2023 Chevy Malibu Yes, there is. You will want the Curt Trailer Hitch item # C12185. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your 2023 Chevy Malibu with included hardware. This is a class II hitch with a 1-1/4" receiver. It has a 3,000 lbs towing capacity, and a 350 lbs maximum tongue weight. It will work great with your Thule bike rack. I have linked a couple of pictures below along with an installation video so you can see what this hitch looks like when installed. If you are planning on towing you will...

- Will The Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver # 36653 Fit a 2017 Chevrolet Malibu With Dual Exhaust? You will be able to still install the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver # 36652 on your 2017 Chevrolet Malibu with the dual exhaust. I have linked the installation instructions below which show the installation being performed on a Buick Regal which has a dual exhaust. The only real difference from our installation video linked below is going to be the additional hanger on the passenger side for the 2nd exhaust. I do recommend installing the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness # C56313...
view full answer... - How Can I Get the Most Towing Capacity Out of a 2018 Chevy MalibuI looked at the owner's manual for your 2018 Chevrolet Malibu and it states that the trailer should never be heavier than 1,000 pounds. It goes into more detail that other factors can influence the capacity (such as speed, altitude, temperature, and others) and that you should contact GM for specific information. Long story short the absolute maximum capacity of your Malibu is no more than 1,000 pounds for sure. With that being said, we do have the parts you need to get the Malibu set...

view full answer... - Hitch Receiver for Towing a Lawn Mower Trailer w/ a 2019 Chevrolet MalibuI have a solution for you but there are no class III hitches available for your 2019 Chevrolet Malibu. I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver item # C12185. This is a custom fit, class II hitch, that bolts on with included hardware. It has a towing capacity that exceeds your Malibu's 1,000 lbs towing limit, so it being a class II hitch does not affect its ability to serve your needs. You should always go off of the component with the lowest towing capacity and in this case it will...
