Installation
This custom-fit T-connector plugs into your vehicle's wiring harness, which is located behind your tail lights. You will have to remove the tail lights 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.
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 was an easy install. Especially if you go ahead and go out to YouTube and use the e-trailer video on how to install it. I can't speak to its longevity. But on the lights are up and working and I am stoked.
The harness ultimately worked well, but it was most difficult to get installed. I spent 1-1/2 hours trying to fish the connectors into the left taillight well and found it impossible to squeeze through the extremely tight crevices using first a stiff 20 amp house wire, then a plastic tube as shown in the etrailer videos. Neither video indicated that this might be a struggle. I later bought a cheap fiberglass fish tool at [retailer] with several lengths that screwed together and was able to eventually fish both sets of connectors through as the stiff rods allowed me to spin and wiggle the taped connectors through a convoluted path. Between this and having to remove several undercarriage covers to fish the power line up to the vehicle battery I spent an additional five hours of time. I wish that videos had shown more of the potential difficulties and the necessity for a stiff fish tool to complete this job. I know they are pros who have done this job a few times, but the time-lapsed videos made it appear to be so easy. This review is to alert any other shade-tree mechanics what he or she will be getting into!

I have had no issues with the wiring harness since installation. As I rarely use my utility trailer during winter months in upstate New York, I seal the plug end in plastic and tuck it up behind the bumper to minimize corrosion due to snow, ice, and road salt.

Great price and products. The shipping package could be better. Nothing was lost from the box, good that the parts were taped to the hitch
Had to be shipped from a different location than the hitch, so it took a few extra days to receive, but it showed up in a reasonable timeframe and was packaged well. Worked on a 2022 Pacifica Hybrid with led tailamps.
Although the area through the rear quarter of my 2020 Pacifica was tight, I was able to get the connector harness installed. Wire length was OK, but green wire could have been about 4 inches longer. This would have made control box placement a little more flexible. This is my second Curt product as I installed a trailer hitch and wiring harness on my 2009 Chrysler van 13 years ago. Easy install and great product!
Perfect fit and all the information I needed I resourced from the trailer videos
You make great products and furnish exceptional customer support. Twenty stars if I had them!
I haven’t had a problem with it since I had to modify the harness to work on my 2021 Chrysler Pacifica. I had to switch two wires to get all the lights on my utility trailer to work. It took several attempts to get ahold of someone who understood what the problem was.
Product fit as described. The only reason I gave 4 star instead of 5 is I wished it would've came with 1 or 2 extra butt connectors. Good product, good fit, works great.
I purchased the trailer hitch from etrailer and they installed it for me. I am completely satisfied with both the hitch and the installation quality. When ever I need anything for my vehicle I always check in with etrailer FIRST. They're unbeatable.
Not happy. In about 6 months the left turn signal failed to work. Mechanic traced it to a fault in wiring harness box. Notified you of failure and you said I should contact the mfr directly. Sent them an e-mail describing the problem. Never hear back from them. Had to buy new wiring harness and install it.
The wiring met all my needs for my trailer and the individual who installed indicated it perfectly met the desired need.
Great customer service-saved the family vacation with speedy turnaround on finding parts and fast delivery !!!
Everything that was needed was included. The service was GREAT!!!

It has been great and done exactly what we needed it to do. Thank you.
The only problem I had was having to splice the connections to fish them behind the tailgate light. Other than that, worked perfect!
A bit of a challenge to install, but the available video is very helpful.
Hint: install this during the hitch installation, while the underbody panel is removed.
Excellent fit. Working with no hoist on concrete floor took me 1 1/2 hr. working alone. Fit just as advertised.
——————-—————————————————————————————
Electrical wiring a bit more involved, a hoist would be good. The challenging part is running the 12 volt wire to the battery with the removal of the underbody panels required. Still excellent product.
Both videos helpful.
Had no trouble with installing. Good di rections.
Product worked great, only thing I would add to make product a 5 star would be to include a snake for getting big connectors to the brake lights.
My mistake the first one I ordered but thanks to the folks at etrailer I was able to purchase the rignt on and exchange the wrong one at the same time and get my hitch installed just in time, thank you etrailer!
This is a good wiring harness and worked well right off the bat after installation. It does requires some tricky work with fish wires that is quite difficult. Five stars for function, three stars for a rather difficult installation.
Great service and is delivered in a timely manner
wires were not long enough. Plugs were too close together to reach out behind the light fixture i had to splice all the wires to reach and make it work.
Very fast delivery. This was a replacement for wrong order I made. James Y was great to deal with in selecting and processing the replacement.
Any contact I've had in the past with etrailer has always been pleasant and helpful experience.
Thank you!
Every item I ordered came a day earlier than expected, quality was excellent, instruction video on installing the hitch as well as the wireing absolutely helped. Everything went really smooth but I had a lift that helped
