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 interior trim panels in your rear cargo area.
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.
Tail Light Converter with Surface-Mount Technology
A tail light converter is built into this T-connector. 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.

Item was plug and play as advertised. Paper instructions included are marginal. Site provided video was very helpful.
This is my second installation using etrailer; they've been good to deal with each time.
by: Joe10/24/2023
This harness did not fit the vehicle (2018 Fiat 124 Spider) it was recomended for. The part was recomended by etrailer.com but did not fit. See picture of packaging, It should have been pretty obviouse this was not going to fit. To return it they wanted to charge me almost $xx. Caution ordering from this web site, if they recomend it and it doesn't fit you are going to pay shipping to return it.

I am sorry to hear that this harness did not fit your 124 Spider. I do see that we do not carry anything on our site that will work on your vehicle. I am not sure how this harness even came into your search, but I will definitely make sure that this mistake will not happen again. As for finding a harness that will work, I would highly recommend contacting Fiat to see if they have a harness that they would recommend.

Very easy install, just make sure the ground wire has proper contact with the chassis or you will have issues with trailer lights doing some crazy things.

2015 Mazda CX-5
I am quite happy with this wiring kit! It truly is plug and play!!
After watching the video, the install was quick and easy.
I only deviated from the install video, where it concerns the ground wire.
It says to use a drill and make a 3/32 hole and use the self tapping screw, if you can not find an existing place to mount the ground wire.
On the CX-5 there is a perfectly placed nut that can be used, and you dont even need any extra tools above what the kit calls for.
When you pull off the plugs for the drivers side tail lights, you will also see 3 10mm nuts that hold the tail light in place.
Just remove the one below the brake light, and slip the ground wire over it and replace the nut.

Still working perfectly use it a lot because I use my little Mazda to tow my small boat to go fishing.
by: Jeff10/30/2023
Seems to be high quality and perfect fit. I have hauled a few things with it, no problem. My advice is to just fully remove the muffler instead of dropping it. If you are installing it in your driveway like I did. It was very difficult to get leverage to squeeze it into place, but once I pulled the muffler, easy.

Bought for 2015 Honda Accord. The plugs did not match the vehicle. Confirmed that it was corrrect and was told Honda screwed up and to splice it in.

I am sorry that it needed to be spliced. Does your Honda Accord have LED tail lights? If it has LED tail lights then you would need part # C56173.
by: Justin 10/05/2023
Wiring was easy, aside from some inevitable tight quarters gaining access to the rear of the taillights to connect everything.

The hitch was great and went on without a problem. Wiring also worked great. Done! I bought from you because of your videos and they made installation so much easier. I am a do it yourselfer but at 73 was thankful for all you information and help via the videos. Would recommend your site to anyone in need of a hitch.

by: Jarred 06/30/2023
Very simple installation that connects to the existing tail light connectors without any extra splicing of wires
by: Anon in WI05/31/2023
Great product, does what it says. Instructions were very generic and poorly written, and omitted a critical step - connecting the second in-line plug on the driver side for the running lights. Apart from that the install was very easy. The supplied adhesive mounting pad for the converter would not stick to the trunk interior paint, so I used heavy-duty hook and loop instead.

2014 Mazda CX-5
Shipping was prompt and without issues. The install
On my 2014 Mazda cx5 was easy and stright forward. I watched the install video on the product page for CX5, and just
Followed the steps in video. Took 10min to remove interior panels, ect, and 10 min to make all plug and play connections, no issues.
Then 10min to put panels back in place. Tested the flat connector
As described in video. Works perfectly. This is after I went to Uhaul and they spent almost 2 hours under my CX5 baffled and unable to install a traditional trailer wire kit. I left with hitch only and installed this plug and play kit, completely satisfied.

2015 Mazda CX-5
My wife and I installed a 2" Curt trailer hitch (and wiring) on our 2015 Mazda CX-5. Total installation time was about 2 hours. We didn't have any problems with the instillation of the hitch or wiring. Etrailer has a video link available, which should be viewed before you begin your installation. However, there wasn't any audio with this.
The hitch is solid and appears to be well built. Occasionally, we pull a small aluminum trailer loaded with kayaks, or other light items.
We have ordered from Etrailer before and feel they are a good company to do business with.

Weve had our Curt hitch for over a year now and it still looks like new. Were very satisfied and recommend Curt and Etrailer.

- 7-Way Trailer Wiring Recommendation for 2015 Mazda CX-5We have a way you can install a 7-way on your 2015 Mazda CX-5 but not all vehicles have custom fit 7-ways made for them so you'd have to start with the more common 4-way like the part # C56011 which is custom fit for your vehicle. From there you'd need to convert it to a 7-way like what your trailer needs. If the trailer does not have brakes all you need is the # 37185 which plugs right into the 4-way and you'd be set. If the trailer does have brakes you'd instead need the # ETBC7 which...
view full answer... - Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver and Wiring Harness For a 2014 Honda Accord Sedan EX-LThe Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver # 24899 is going to be the least obvious receiver for your 2014 Honda Accord EX-L Sedan. Draw-Tite recommends their Drawbar # 3593 used in the rise position with either a 1-7/8" Hitch Ball # 19256 or 2" Hitch Ball # 19258 to match the trailer coupler. The Curt Vehicle Wiring Harness C56011 that you found will give you a 4-way flat connector.

I like the T-One harness over the other harnesses because it has a more reliable powered converter box that will give you a longer running time than the others. This custom harness will plug 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....

These options include the Curt # C11681 that you referenced and which is shown in the linked installation video. The exclusions to the fit are for hybrid models which are not compatible with any of the hitches offered. With one of these hitches in place you can use a compatible Class I 2-bike rack or a Class I cargo carrier. Links to both of these product...
view full answer... - Trailer Wiring Harness for a 2013 Honda Accord Sedan without LED Tail LightsCurt does list wiring harness # C56011 as a fit for the 2013 Honda Accord sedan. The packaging might not be updated yet is all but it does fit. This harness actually fits numerous vehicles which is why the pictures in the instructions, linked for reference, may not look exactly like your vehicle. The instructions also list the coupe model but again the application guide goes up to 2012 for the coupe and then includes the sedan, without LED tail lights, for 2013.
view full answer... - Recommended Tow Bar Wiring For 2013 Honda Fit Being Flat-TowedThe Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness, part # C56011 is designed to work with your Honda Fit to tow a trailer behind the vehicle. This harness is not designed for operating the lights on your Fit while it is being towed. For that you would need tow bar wiring. When you flat-tow your Honda, you will need kit like part # 154-792-118158. This is a diode kit and includes the converter needed for your Honda with separate wire(meaning the brake light bulb is separate from the turn signal)....

view full answer... - Wiring Harness for 2013 Mazda CX-5 Pulling Trailer With LED LightsThere are two wiring harnesses for your 2013 Mazda CX-5 and the correct one will actually depend on if your Mazda has LED taillights as opposed to the trailer you are pulling. So you can use the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # C56011 on your '13 Mazda CX-5 so long as the vehicle does not have LED taillights. If your Mazda does have LED taillights you will need the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # 118563, and...
view full answer... - Recommended Trailer Wiring Harness For 2016 Honda Civic SedanWe do have a wiring kit that will work with your 2016 Civic but they require hardwiring the harness on your vehicle.

The other harness offered, Curt # C56011, does not fit your 2016 CX-5 due to a change in connectors from the 2015 model year. Note that there are two major advantages to using the Tow Ready harness. First, this harness will isolate and protect your new vehicle's wiring from any potential shorts or overloads from the trailer because it draws power for the trailer directly from the battery, not...
view full answer... - Easier to Install Trailer Wiring Harness for 2015 Mazda CX-5You're correct, the Curt wiring harness for your 2015 Mazda CX-5, part # C56011, does not have a power wire that connects to the vehicle battery like the Tekonsha, part # 118563. In most cases I'd recommend the Tekonsha even though the install is more involved. Most Tekonsha wiring harnesses have a converter box that mounts to the vehicle with a screw that keeps it much more secure than the double sided tape that Curt commonly uses. In this case, both harnesses use tape so I'd go ahead...
view full answer... - Recommended Hitch Receiver for 2015 Honda Civic Towing Jet Ski TrailerYes, the Curt # C11391 would work, but there are some other factors that really make the EcoHitch a much better option. First, considering you've got a 2015 Honda Civic, ground clearance is going to be an issue since both the cross tube and receiver will sit below the bumper, making it much more prone to bottoming out. Because the EcoHitch # 306-X7235 has a concealed cross tube that mounts behind the bumper, it's going to give you some extra ground clearance that's going to be extremely...

The issue you are describing sounds like a ground issue. Please make sure that the ground you are using is a clean bare metal surface without any paint present. This is more than likely the cause of your problem. Before attaching the ground screw, sand the surface down with some 80 grit sandpaper to remove any connection inhibiting material....
view full answer... - Trailer Wiring Harness for a 2016 Honda FitTrailer wiring harness # C56011 does NOT fit the 2016 Honda Fit. The 2016 models require a hardwire system. You can use the ZCI harness # 119250KIT. This harness requires a power wire to the battery and has connectors that clamp around the vehicle tail light wires, so you don't have to do any splicing.
view full answer... - Will a Trailer LED Light Kit Work with Curt Trailer Wiring Harness 56011 on a 2014 Mazda CX-5Curt trailer wiring harness # C56011 will work great with the LED tail lights in trailer light kit # TLL9RK. The Curt trailer wiring harnesses that require power from the vehicle battery to power the trailer lights tend to dimly light LED trailer tail lights even with the vehicle turned off. However, harness # C56011, is not a powered converter so that problem should not happen at all. I have linked some videos on both the light kit and the trailer wiring harness for your reference.
view full answer... - Trailer Wiring Harness for a 2014 Mazda CX-5Curt trailer wiring harness # C56011 fits the 2014 Mazda CX-5 if it does NOT have LED tail lights.

Since all of the Euro ball mounts fit a Class II hitch receiver you will need to use a different style. The Draw-Tite # 3593 ball mount is what we recommend using. You can use part # 19258 for a 2 inch diameter hitch ball. Don't forget that you will also need trailer wiring as well. Since your Civic...
view full answer... - Trailer Wiring Harness Recommendation for 2013 Mazda CX-5Either trailer wiring harness that you referenced would work great for you. Both the Tow Ready harness part # 118563 and the Curt # C56011 would work on your 2013 Mazda CX-5 that has incandescent lights and your trailer that has LEDs. We tend to have better luck with the Tow Ready harnesses so I would go with the # 118563. I attached an install video for you to check out as well.
