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 tail lights. You will have to remove the tail light assemblies 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.
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.

Hello everybody, this is Jeff at etrailer.com. Today we're gonna take a look at this CURT T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness with the Four-Way Flat Trailer Connector. Now, this is a custom fit part. It is designed to fit the 2021 and newer Ford F-150 trucks with the Factory Seven-Way. And on a custom fit part like this, I do recommend for you to go to our website, use the fit guide, put in your year and model of vehicle, and it'll show if this will work free application. Now, this harness here provides this four-way flat trailer connector at the back of your vehicle to power your trailer's signal lights.
And it is compatible with 5-Pole, 6-Pole, and 7-Pole adapters that we do sell separately. This does connect very quickly and easily. All you need to do is locate your connection points which will be behind your taillights. Plug in these T-Connectors, there's one for each side. The yellow wire goes on the driver's side.
The green wire would go on the passenger side. Have an extra ground wire with an eyelid on it that you would connect to a ground. And then you have your black power wire that'll run to your vehicle's battery. Now, this does include this black box here, which is a taillight converter. It ensures that your vehicle's wiring will match that of your trailer.
It is a powered module, so it connects directly to your battery to avoid overloading your vehicle's electrical system. The converter is constructed using SMT Technology, which stands for Surface Mount Technology. It's for consistent, reliable performance. It'll maximize trailer light yield and intensity, while producing minimal heat and it ensures superior operation in rough road conditions. It also comes with this nice dust cap that you can put on your four-way, just like that.
And then when you're not plugged into your trailer, just take your four-way and go ahead and put it on the correct way. When you're not plugged in, just take your four-way, or your dust cap, put it over your four-way and just like that, it'll protect the terminals from any damage or from the elements. A few specs on this, the maximum amperage for the stop and turn light circuit is five amps per circuit. For the tail on running lights, it's 7.5 amps per circuit. Now, just to go through, it'll come with everything out here on the table, and I just want to go through all these parts, how they install. It does come with a nice set of detailed instruction with pictures that'll show you where to make your connections and how they go together. Basically, what you'll do is, again, start at the back of the vehicle behind the taillights, and you'll gain access to behind those. And again, you'll take the T-Connector here that has the yellow wire in it, and these will plug in on the driver's side taillights. And this one here, it has the extra length of green wire, that's for your passenger side. You'll run that over to there, plug that in. Once those are both connected, you'll run your four-way wire out to the back. And then you'll wanna, this converter box here has a little weight to it so you don't want it bouncing around. Has a tab on it with a hole, you can put a screw through there to attach it down, or they do even include a piece of double face tape you can use to attach it down. Once that's all attached, you'll have two wires left. The white wires we mentioned is a ground, has an eyelid on it. If there's a nearby ground, you can use that. If you don't have one, you can take this grounding screw and make a ground, connect a wire to it. And your last wire here is your power wire. And again, this is gonna have to run to the front of the vehicle to the battery. And to do that, they give you this length of wire with the connectors. So you'll put a connector on one end, connect that to your power wire. On the other end, you'll take your other connector and then connect that. And then you don't go right to the battery with this wire. You'll wanna run it through this inline fuse holder first. So you'll connect one end of the fuse holder like that. At the other end of the fuse holder, you'll take your eyelid connector, put it on there, and then that'll connect to the battery. And then all you do is take the included 10 amp fuse, stick it into your fuse holder, push it in, put your cap up over it, pop your cap in place. There you go. Just snug cap. Once you get it snapped into place, now your system's all ready to go. So you notice, they do give you some extra cable ties to take up any slack in the wiring when you run it to the front of the vehicle. But that should do it for the review on this CURT T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness with the Four-Way Flat Trailer Connector.
