Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector

Video Transcript for Review of CURT Custom Fit Vehicle Wiring - T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness 4-Pole Flat - C97ZV

Hi everybody. Andy here with etrailer.com. Let's take a look together at this CURT T Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4 Pole Flat connector. Now this vehicle wiring harness is designed to fit your 2022 and newer Kia EV6 and on custom fit parts such as this harness, I do recommend taking advantage of our vehicle fit guide here at etrailer.com. Simply input the year, make, and model of your vehicle and our fit guide will confirm if this will work for you or if we have something comparable that will work for you. Now this harness is going to give you a 4 pole flat trailer connector at the back of your vehicle to power your trailer signal lights.

This is going to be compatible with your five pole, six pole and seven pole adapters. Of course, those adapters are sold separately and as you can see here, a dust cap is included to cover the contact points on this 4 pole flat connector. So that's going to do a great job of keeping those connection points clean when you're not using this plug. And as you can see, you can slip it over the wires here, so it's gonna be difficult to lose it. Now the black box that you see here is a powered taillight converter and this is going to ensure that your vehicle's wiring matches that of your trailer.

This is going to connect directly to your vehicle's battery to avoid overloading the electrical system of your vehicle. It's gonna reduce strain on your vehicle's wiring system and CURT does build each of these converters using surface mount technology. It's gonna give you consistent, reliable performance. This maximizes the trailer light yield and intensity while producing minimal heat, ensuring superior operation in rough road conditions. Now this harness is designed to connect quickly and easily.

You will need to locate your vehicle's wiring harness and it's located behind the driver's side and passenger side tail lights. And once you locate those connectors, you're then gonna separate those connectors and you wanna be careful not to break the locking tabs. And then you're gonna insert these key connector ends between the vehicle wiring connectors and lock them into place. These key connectors are custom fitted for your vehicle, so they are going to match up perfectly with the connection points on your vehicle and they're gonna snap and lock together for a tight, secure fit. Now once you have those connectors plugged in, you will need to make a good ground connection.

And the ground wire is this white wire and you see it has a ring terminal attached to it and it does come with a self-tapping screw. So you're gonna be able to get this grounded to a suitable location such as your vehicle's frame or cross member. You just wanna make sure that the surface is clean and rust free. Next, you will need to mount the converter box to a safe, out of the way location. You can do that with another mounting screw that you might have on hand, or you can use the included double-sided adhesive tape or maybe one of the many cable ties that's included with the kit. Then you're gonna want to run the hot lead to the vehicle battery, and that's this short black wire that's coming out of our converter box. This short black wire is gonna get connected to one end of this bundle of black wire that is included with the kit. And so you're going to connect the hot lead to one end of this wire with one of the included butt connectors. And then the other end of this bundle is gonna get routed to your vehicle's battery. And once you have this routed to the battery, you're going to take the fuse holder here and snip that wire in half. And then with the second butt connector, connect the wire, one of the wires to the routed end of the routed wire. And then the other half of this fuse holder will get this ring terminal attached to it. And then that ring terminal is going to get attached to the positive post of your vehicle's battery. Now this does come with a 15 amp fuse and that fuse will pop right into that fuse holder and then it's got a cap to keep that fuse safe and protected. Now you can secure any slack in your wiring with the mini cable ties that I've already mentioned that's included with this kit. And the maximum amperage for the stop turn lights is three amps per circuit and for the tail lights, it's six amps per circuit. Instructions are included to guide you through that installation process. And it is also recommended that you use a small amount of dielectric grease on all of your electrical connections, like the plugs on the vehicle and the 4 pole flat connector itself. That grease is designed to prevent electrical failures caused by corrosion and moisture. So on your screen, I am including our item number for that grease. You can just take that item number and pop it in the search field of our website. That will take you to the grease and you can add that to your order. Well, that's gonna wrap up our look today. I do hope that our time together has been helpful for you. Again, my name is Andy. Thank you for joining me.
