4-Way Trailer Connector Installation

Because the color/function of the wires on this connector may not match the color/function of those on your vehicle, be sure to use a tester (sold separately) to double check the function of each wire on your vehicle's tail light wiring harness before installing this connector. Once you've figured out the functions of your vehicle's wiring, use the included quick-splice connectors to connect the corresponding wires on the trailer connector. Quick-splices, or "wire taps," offer a quick way to make connections without you having to strip and twist wires. Just place the wires in it and snap the cover down.


The number 1 reason trailer wiring comes up faulty is a bad ground, so make sure your ground wire has a solid and clean connection to metal. To make this connection, you'll need a self-tapping screw and a ring terminal (sold separately).


Wiring Configuration

Wire Color Wire Function
Green Right turn and brake light
Brown Tail lights and running lights

Yellow Left turn and brake light


Quick Tips:

We install a lot of wiring harness around here, so we thought we'd share a few tips we've picked up over the years:

  • Butt connectors - especially heat-shrink ones - provide the most secure, longest-lasting connection, so we'd recommend you grab a few and swap them out for the quick-splices in this kit.
  • Use a circuit tester on the plug terminals once the harness is installed to make sure everything's working. There's nothing worse than figuring out that you have a bad ground or a faulty connection right before you're about to hit the road.
  • Be sure to put a little bit of dielectric grease on the 4-way plug to protect the terminals from dirt, grime, and corrosion.

This is a standard flat connector for attaching to a trailer. I don't have it installed yet, but it looks like it will work perfectly. The cable is long enough to connect to both rear lights.

Ken L.

10/24/2014

I finally got it installed. My 87 Jeep has had the wiring modified several times in its life so nothing was as it was supposed to be. I finally got all of the previous mistakes unwired, returned it to normal and then added the connection for the trailer. It was easy to install and worked perfectly. I like it and use it all the time.

Wire harness works fine but had no instructions, not even a identifier for which color wire does what. No ring terminal included for the ground wire. I think an end cap should be included on the harness due to the fact that there is power at the plug end any time the vehicles lights are operating. I ordered connector cover 20112, fits well on this harness.

The 4 pole trailer connector part # C58044 is designed with a green wire, yellow wire, brown wire and white wire. The green wire wires into the right turn wire of the vehicles wiring harness. The yellow wires into the left turn signal of the vehicles wiring harness. The brown wire wires into the tail light signal. The white is the ground wire that needs to be grounded to a clean bare metal surface on the vehicle. A ring terminal that accepts 14 gauge wire such as part # DW05737-1 can be used to ground the white wire. If you would like an end cap on the 4 pole connector I recommend part # 20112 by tow ready to protect the end of the connector. I have also attached a wiring help article to assist with the installation.



by:

While it worked well, I threw out the supplied connectors and used more weather proof versions. But the wiring was long enough and I have had no issues with it.



by:

Will all I can say is it's a well-built good-looking product. It was very easy to install.And easy to wire it up.follow the instructions that you get am 71 years old and I did it All in 45 minutes.
When I was ordering this product customer service went out of their way to help me in any way they could.
I would recommend this company to anyone they are very pleasant people to do business with.and the shipping was right on time

Hitch delivered quickly. The packaging is excellent. The condition of the hitch is new. The fixing kit, bolts and nuts correspond to the hitch. The video on the site was of great help in installing the hitch. I would like to have a video on the site how to connect the wires, but it's not difficult for an electrician. Problems with the installation of hitches on the car did not arise.

This Curt 4 pole part C58044 is a hardwire installation. I have attached a video of the hardwire installation for part # 18252 on a 2003 Pontiac Grand Prix. It is a different part number but the same installation. Although, I do recommend part # 56076 custom fit plug and play wiring harness for this vehicle. The plug and play option is a much easier installation.

Ran this from the front of the 5th wheel and back so I could pull my other trailer. Another job well done...... Thanks

Harness is still like brand new. The cover cap keeps the contacts nice and clean when not in use. Would buy again anytime.

Great, no issues. As good as the day I put it on.



by:

Had an embarrassing issue with one of the quick-splice connectors breaking - would recommend soldering all wires for longevity.



by:

Perfect for the application and reasonable price. I believe etrailer.com has spent some time considering which wiring kit is best for each vehicle.



by:

This attached very easily to my tail light wires. When not towing, I just shut it up in my trunk, and when I need to pull, I open the trunk and pull them out. I was very skeptical when I got the kit and saw the instructions, but it worked!



by:

I'll start by saying this arrived with my hitch in just a couple of days. It installed easily, as I have experience with wiring. It's high quality, and well made. I did not use the provided clamps that came with the wiring kit. I've found that splicing and soldering the connections with heat shrink tubing for protection is the best method.



by:
1991 Ford Van

Product worked okay, but the connectors didn't. They would not close and tap the main wires. I had to splice the wires in directly. Otherwise, It works.



by:
2012 Ford F-250 and F-350 Super Duty

Description of product should in bold letters describe that this is not for the trailer but instead for the vehicle. Product is of no use to me.

Dan A.

Thanks for posting that. I was wondering the same thing. I need the other end, for the trailer to tow with my truck.



by:

Easy install. Performs exactly as advertised. You will have to buy a special electrical kit to be able to hook up trailer lights.



by:
2002 Dodge Neon

Looked like I would need more "stuff" to hook up my wiring harness.
However with the help of on line installation instructions.
Mission accomplished.

I have bought several items from etrailer for several years and I have never been disappointed, mislead, or had to return any of them. I have always found them to have several selections, thorough descriptions, competitive prices, and reasonable shipping charges. I live in a small town about an hours drive from any place adequately equipped for trailer needs. Internet shopping has solved this problem for me. Thank you etrailer.



by:
2001 Ford F-250 and F-350 Super Duty

I have ordered many times through etrailer.com and have never been disappointed. Great service and ever good products. I wish you were in my home town.



by:

Just what I needed. Splice taps went right in the trash though. Crimp caps are reliable.



by:

Great product and at a great price, "etrailer" has now become my number 1 stop shop for all my trailer needs now. Due to speed and unbeatable price.



by:

I replaced the old wiring harness with this new one. Looks like a very good product.



by:

Dealing with etrailer has been nothing but a joy to do business with. They have a great selection and very reasonably priced. Fast service and delivery. I wouln't hesitate to do business with them again. Looking at their products is like being a kid in a Candy Store.....lol. Their products are first rate quality.



by:

Very easy to install, hardest part is putting the trunk liner back in place. Watch the YouTube video to get the correct wire colors.

needed this to splice into an existing harness setup. works great. no problems

  • Troubleshooting Trailer Light Functions Not Working on 2014 Ford F-150
    On your 2014 Ford F-150 if you don't have factory wiring, you will simply splice into the tail light wiring at your tail lights to get the 4-way functions using # C58044. If you have the factory 4-way, then the harness may be bad or need help connecting. The Curt # C56110 is intended as a factory replacement for your truck. Make sure all the pins are not bent and the connection is free of debris or corrosion. If you have the factory 7-way, you will want to check your factory wiring...

    We don't have a custom fit trailer hitch receiver for your 1979 Plymouth Volare. We are a retailer and not a hitch manufacturer, so we don't make the hitches we sell. I'd suggest you consider having a local fabrication shop help you fabricate an option utilizing something like the Ultra-Fab 2" Trailer Hitch Receiver for 5th Wheel Trailer Frames, # UF35-946403. There will need to be special fabrication to fit your vehicle, but this hitch will get you started. You will also need a ball...

  • Will 4-Way of Curt Wiring Harness # C58044 Connect to 4-Way of Trailer with 5 Wires
    The 5-wires that are ran to your 4-way means that you have a wishbone 4-way. That means that the running light circuit has two wires ran for each side of the trailer. The Curt 4-way part # C58044 would work well with this. The running light circuit of this kit uses only one wire but will work fine attached a 4-way that has these circuits split out for both sides.

  • Installing a 7-Way Trailer Connector and Electric Brake Controller on a 1977 Dodge W200 Pickup
    To wire a 7-way trailer connector on your 1977 Dodge truck you'll first need to wire in a 4-way trailer connector using # C58044. If you need more wiring throughout the truck you can use # 16-4B-1, which is sold by the foot. Then for the 7-way use # ETBC7 to supply the connector and the additional wiring for the brake controller. If you also need a brake controller I suggest using the Prodigy P2 # 90885. This is one of our top selling controllers because of its reliability and how easy...

The trailer wiring circuits on the newer Dodge trucks have some interesting issues. The issue is the TIPM. If it detects enough shorts it will eventually lock up and require you to spend quite a bit of money. It basically is a big circuit board. The easiest...

    As your 2014 Ford F-150 XL did not include the factory towing package, you will need to use a hardwire kit, like the Curt # C58044. There will not be a T style connector available, unfortunately. The Curt harness # C58044 will include quick splice connectors to make the wiring a lot easier though, and you will not actually need to cut any of the wires to get it installed.

This model will fit 1989 through 1996 models, but not the 1997 models which had a change to the frame that carried through 2006. If you will be towing with this light duty trailer hitch, I recommend the wiring harness # C58044 to splice into your wiring using the quick splice connectors. Then I recommend using ball mount # C45522 and hitch ball # C40018 or # C40001 depending on the hitch ball size required...

    Thank you for the photo of your Ford F-250's trailer wiring that has a square OEM connector o one end and both 4-pole and U.S. Car (round) connectors on the other end. We do not have this exact part (it may be OEM) but we do have wiring items with that square connector, such as 7-way # 40167 and 4-poles # C55265. These could be piggy-backed together to give you both connectors active at once. If you prefer you could use # 40167 and splice in a 4-pole like # C58044.

This hitch will install under your Ford's bed and will allow you to use the B&W Companion 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # BWRVK3500-5W as well as a gooseneck hitch with the included goose ball. Finally, for wiring, you're going to need to add a 4 flat first with # C58044 and then you can add a 7 way using # ETBC7.

If you don't have a 7-way, then you're going to need to add one - starting by adding a 4 way using # C58044. From here, we can add our 7-way with # ETBC7.

If you already have a circuit tester (to allow you to confirm the function on each wire) you can use Curt harness # C58044.

This is a class III hitch that fits trailers with frames between 22" to 66" wide. It will work on box frames, C-channel frames, or I-beam frames.
