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 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.
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.

Wiring it up on the other hand took a while. The instructions that came with the electrical was easy to follow and super helpful...finding a path for the wires underneath the car from the battery back to the hitch is what took the longest.

Box was half torn apart with no packaging in sight. Disgraceful. The wiring package was clear taped together and I hope it will work with my vehicle for plug and play as its years stop at 2017 and mine is a 2019. The year manufacturer date on the product is 5/19/2022 as there is dust all over it. Just not satisfied but I guess that what it is.
It is easy to install
We purchased this product for the second time after the first one shorted out due to moisture getting in my vehicle tail lights. Fortunately, our son-in-law is an automobile technician and is gracious enough to install the wiring kit as I'm sure neither my husband nor I would be able to manage it. Once installed, it has worked reliably with our 8' utility trailer.

The Curt wiring harness is still functioning a year after purchase and months of sitting idle.
I would not buy this wiring harness again. It is not worth the additional work to run a dedicated power wire. Go with the plug and play model.

The powered tail light converter connects directly to the battery to avoid overloading the vehicles electrical system. We do have a great FAQ that provides ideas on ways to route the power wire. There is non powered harness for the 2019 Ford Flex. It is part # 118472.
Very complete kit. Fairly easy to route. would be great if Curt included the upgraded heat shrink connectors as shown in etrailer's install video. Luckily I had some extra heat shrink on hand. I also used some split loom to further protect the wiring, especially in areas where it routed around a sharp corner and of course larger zip ties due to the increased size of the split loom.
The Curt wiring harness is exactly as advertised and undoubted a good product seeing that it is from Curt Manufacturing. What impresses me the most with this purchase was the communication and quick shipment. I ordered on a Sunday afternoon, used economy shipping and received on Thursday morning. In between getting shipping updates and notification of shipment. Can't do better than that! Therefore I will use etrailer.com for future needs and definitely recommend to others. Thank you etrailer!
It took about an hour and a half to install the factory hitch and this t connector kit. Definitely worth the extra work to run the wire to the battery,better safe than sorry. Good quality kit and shipped fast!!!!
The only thing that was unclear during the installation was which side the "Y" connectors needed to go. Looking at the diagram, in relation to the vehicle, I made a guess which turned out to be correct. It would have been nice to have them labeled as "driver side" and "passenger side", or something like that to remove the guess work.
Works excellent but it didn't come with any installation instructions. I had a bear of a time routing the wiring. Just take your time, plug into the taillights first, then mount the converter box. The rest will fall into place after that.
Fast shipping, clear instructions. Tough install on Ford Flex only because few components underneath to zip tie power lead to. I used rear climate control tubing. No way to know yet whether heat cycles will affect wiring. Once installed, has worked perfectly so far.
Purchasing process from etrailer was easy, shipping was very prompt, wiring installation was not difficult. Only disappointment was the lack of a solid support for final connector.
I needed a replacement controller and harness for my 2011 Ford Flex. etrailers had exactly what I needed and I got it unbelievably fast! Great job all around!
SUPER easy to install. Pay attention and it'll be a cake walk. I say pay attention because I installed it backwards (the left and right turn signals were opposite the car). Other than that, clear directions and all supplies needed unless you modify it like I did in a few spots.
I had this professionally installed for occasional utility trailer use. Works as expected .
Video of installation was very good. It took me slightly longer than suggested but I did the installation y myself.
Great product but a pain to fish wires through. Easy to figure out what goes where.
This fit my vehicle perfectly. The install was fairly easy and the instructions were clear.
Easy enough to install that I could do it in my driveway in two hours.
Fit very nicely and easy. It was a pain to wire the module directly to the battery but worth it
Easy install.
Complicated install but works as advertised.
Delivered in time, product fit correctly. Happy.
Haven't used it yet but the process up to this point has been awesome. Thank you guys.

It sounds like the box and wiring had a tough journey. I checked and this harness is a fit through to 2019 Ford Flex. Customer Service will be in touch with you in case there is any damage or missing parts.
