Installation
This custom-fit T-connector plugs into your vehicle's factory tow package, which is located in your cargo area, on the driver's side. You will have to remove the scuff panel and the cargo holder to access this port. Once you've plugged in the T-connector, insert the included 10-amp fuse into the fuse holder.
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 plug 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.
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.

- 2024 Toyota Grand Highlander Trailer Wiring Harness for No Factory Tow PackageSince your 2024 Toyota Grand Highlander doesn't come with the factory tow package you need the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness # C79VV. The module plugs into that 10-Pin connector you found under the cup holder and then the 4-Way harness connects to the plug found under the driver-side rear bumper section. There will be a dust cover you need to remove prior to plugging the 4-Way harness into this connector.

If your 2024 Toyota Highlander is already equipped with a 7-Way then the Curt Echo In-Line # C79DR is a pretty simple installation since it just tees into the US CAR connection behind the 7-Way, and the only other thing I really recommend picking up is the Manual Override Button # C83HR so you don't have to have your phone out to use the manual override feature. If your Highlander doesn't have any wiring connector on it then you'll need the following: - 4-Way - part # TK74FR...

Aside from that the only other way I know how to determine this is to check your vehicle and see if it already...

- 2024 Toyota Highlander Hybrid Trailer Hitch and Wiring RecommendationsI have the perfect parts to get your 2024 Toyota Highlander Hybrid setup for taking your bikes with you on a trip as well as moving and hauling with your trailer! The etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e75ZR is my go-to brand when it comes to trailer hitches because of the matte black finish. I've had a few of these on my own vehicles and I love how the matte black is more subtle than the glossy black finish and it does a better job at hiding any scratches that might happen from road debris. Then...
view full answer... - Trailer Hitch For A 2024 Toyota Highlander - Can I Use A Weight Distribution Hitch?We do have a trailer hitch option for the 2024 Toyota Highlander. The correct hitch is the etrailer class 3 hitch # e75ZR. Unfortunately this hitch is not rated for use with a weight distribution hitch. At this time there is no hitch available for the 2024 Highlander that will allow you to use a weight distribution hitch. This is likely because the 2024 Highlander has a unibody frame, and you cannot use weight distribution on vehicles with a unibody frame as it can damage the vehicle. The...

view full answer... - Troubleshooting Brake Lights Not Working With Curt Wiring Harness on 2024 Toyota Grand HighlanderThere isn't a lot to the installation of the # C79VV so it is likely one of two things. The first is the ground connection. Double check the ground connection and make sure it is secure on a clean, bare-metal surface. The other possibility is that your connectors aren't all the way together. Go ahead and pull each apart and reconnect to make sure they are fully seated. If that doesn't fix the problem feel free to reach out and I will help you troubleshoot further. UPDATE: We have updated...

- Parts Needed to Install 7-Way and Brake Controller 2024 Toyota Grand HighlanderWe can definitely help install a brake controller and 7-way on your 2024 Toyota Grand Highlander but first the brake controller I recommend is the Redarc Tow Pro Liberty part # RED24FR with the install harness part # RED69FR. As this controller puts only a small knob on the dash of your vehicle and works really well using an inertia sensor to sense how hard to apply the trailer brakes. If you don't get the factory 4-way you'll need to go with the Curt kit part # C79VV and then use the...
