2013 Honda Accord - Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector

  • 4 Flat
  • Trailer Hitch Wiring
  • Converter
  • CURT

Quickly and easily install a 4-way trailer connector on your Honda Accord with this custom harness. T-connector plugs directly into existing wiring - no cutting, splicing or tapping required. Converter is made using SMT to ensure superior performance.


Features:

  • Provides a 4-way flat trailer connector at the back of your vehicle to power your trailer's signal lights
    • Compatible with 5-pole, 6-pole and 7-pole adapters (sold separately)
  • Connects quickly and easily - no cutting or splicing of wires
    • Locate connection points in rear cargo area
    • Plug in T-connector
  • Includes a tail light converter to ensure that your vehicle's wiring matches that of your trailer
  • Constructed using surface-mount technology (SMT) for consistent, reliable performance
    • Maximizes trailer light yield and intensity while producing minimal heat
    • Ensures superior operation in rough road conditions
  • Comes with dust cap for 4-way flat connector


Specs:

  • Maximum amperage:
    • Stop/turn lights: 3 amps per circuit
    • Tail lights: 6 amps per circuit
  • 1-Year limited warranty


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.


Curt SMT Circuit Boards

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.

Havent towed anything yet, but the cargo basket is very handy for transporting heavy, dirty matls

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 nice quality. Great customer service from etrailer. Always a good experience!

Amazingly easy installation thanks to the video and product. Lights work excellent. Great communication and fast delivery by etrailer. Thank You!

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.



by:
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.

I havent had to pull any more trailers, but I have no doubt it will work just fine, the next time I need to unroll it from the spare tire well!

Still working perfectly use it a lot because I use my little Mazda to tow my small boat to go fishing.



by:

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:

Wiring was easy, aside from some inevitable tight quarters gaining access to the rear of the taillights to connect everything.



by:
2015 Mazda CX-5

Super easy to install. Still need to test it with a trailer though.



by:
2015 Mazda CX-5

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.

Works great! Detailed instructions.

Excellent service and response time on sending the part was supper.

I installed this on my 2015 Honda Accord for the purpose of pulling my small aluminum fishing boat and trailer. Works great!



by:

Very simple installation that connects to the existing tail light connectors without any extra splicing of wires



by:

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.

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-5
    We 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...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver and Wiring Harness For a 2014 Honda Accord Sedan EX-L
    The 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.

    The T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # TK46VR is confirmed to fit your 2023 Mitsubishi Outlander per the manufacturer. 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....

  • Trailer Wiring Harness for a 2013 Honda Accord Sedan without LED Tail Lights
    Curt 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.

  • Recommended Tow Bar Wiring For 2013 Honda Fit Being Flat-Towed
    The 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)....

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.

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...

  • Recommended Hitch Receiver for 2015 Honda Civic Towing Jet Ski Trailer
    Yes, 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...

  • Easier to Install Trailer Wiring Harness for 2015 Mazda CX-5
    You'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...

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.

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.

The procedure on your vehicle would be identical. If you're needing a hitch, I'd recommend the Draw-Tite Class III, part # 76138. You'd also need a ball mount, part # 2753 and a trailer ball. For a 1-7/8 inch ball, use part # 19260 or # 63845 for a 2 inch ball.

    The Curt item # C11496 that you referenced does not include the recommended ball mount, part # 3593. With a Class I hitch like this you can only use the recommended ball mount for the hitch. For a hitch ball you would want the part # 19256 for a 1-7/8 inch ball or part # 19258 for a 2 inch hitch ball. If you have a coupe with LED taillights you would want the part # C56173 for trailer wiring or part # C56011 for with incandescent bulbs.

    A popular trailer hitch for your 2014 Mazda CX-5 is the Curt Class-II # C12170. It will have a 3,500 pound towing capacity and 350 pound tongue weight capacity. I did some research on your CX-5 and it seems to have a 2,000 pound maximum towing capacity. I would double-check your owners manual because you will not want to exceed it.
