Installation
This custom-fit T-connector plugs into your vehicle's wiring harness, which is located behind the interior trim panel in your rear cargo area. Once you've plugged in the converter, insert the included 10-amp fuse into the integrated fuse holder.
Once installation is complete, the 4-way connector will be stowed in an out-of-the-way location within your cargo area. Adhere the black converter box to the frame of the car using the double-sided tape provided. Secure any loose parts of the T-connector with the provided cable ties.
It is recommended that you use a small amount of grease on all electrical connections - the plug 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.
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.

Quickly and easily install a 4-way trailer connector on your vehicle with this custom harness. Connector plugs directly into existing wiring. Powered converter reduces strain on wiring system and is made using SMT to ensure superior performance.Love it. You guys always have the best information, advice and products. Well done with this product too. Everything you need is included in the order, other than an electric drill. Plenty of length too. I was able to run it through the grommet under the spare tire and link up to the trailer pin. I can’t stand the idea of just letting the wire run under the trunk hatch since it needs to be hooked up to my bike rack.
Everything arrived in great condition and a lot sooner than I expected. I was even able to install it over the weekend.
I love the way most of the hitch is tucked away, out of sight. Can't wait to tow my boat and get back on the water.
The trailer wiring harness was super easy to install and tuck's away while not in use.
All in all, I am super satisfied with the whole experience. From the high quality of the product, timeliness of delivery, and minimal or low level of effort to stall the whole thing.
Thanks for everything. I attached some before and after photos.
I bought this trailer hitch for my new Subaru Outback. After watching the install video several times, it was very easy to install.
Electrically and mechanically everything works beautifully. It blends with the car, and I've had no trouble pulling my Jeep's 4x6 trailer to the county dump and hardware/garden stores.
The excellent quality, ease of installation and low price cannot be beat!
The wiring harness was just as described/expected, as was the installation process. Worked great for the first tow of my new trailer, but I can't speak to reliability or longevity.
Hitch works great and when I don’t use it the wiring harness goes right in with my spare tire keeping it from getting road salt all over it!! Thanks eTrailer!!
Ordered hitch from etrailer it arrived quickly. I waited to to install until the weather warmed up, paperwork says install time for expert 30 minutes, novice 1 hour. I spent about 2 hours installing it by myself. the packaged parts contained all the parts needed for install, along with threaded wire to help with install. the most difficult part was supping hitch into position, and applying flange nuts. had to use ratchet straps to pull into place.all in all anyone who has some mechanical ability should be able to install it.Note: you will need a torque wrench in final assembly.
This is the second etrailer hitch that I have installed. The how-to videos were extremely helpful. They have really gotten it down to a science and made the process very easy to follow.
We have been ordering trailer hitches from you for 10 years. Our business is Bradley car care and this was my own new Subaru and it works great. My third hitch from you. Thank you so much for what you do for our business.
Came as fast as lightning, the instructions for a 2018 Subaru forester were incorrect, the plug assembly is tied up on the drivers side aft most side wall panel, pictures added, not on floor as shown in the instructions and on etrailers video, took a bit of hunting to find it, but after that it took more time to clean up.
Fits perfectly. Easy to stash near spare tire when not used. Electrons flow through it and the trailer lights work.
Curt T-Connector was the easiest trailer wiring harness to install. The instructions were perfect and so easy to follow. Very, very good product at a most reasonable price.
I have use the CURT T-connector wiring plug&play systems before and the are great
Shipped very quickly, installed super easy, installation videos are great, perfect fit. What's not to love???
It works well, but the wire harnes is slightly shorter than what’s on the video. I was unable to tuck the module with the two sided tape the same was as the video.
This was an easy solution when I installed the hitch to my 2020 Outback. Works as advertised.
Etrailer is my go to supplier of my towing needs and much more. I appreciate the quick and friendly service. My advice is check with Etrailer first before the parts house or big "Mart" stores.
Works well, easy to install. Installation tip not mentioned in the video - Rear trim piece must be pulled out (toward front of car) before pulling up.
This was easy to install. Instructions were straightforward. I like that it’s stored inside the car out of the way with the spare tire when not being used
Installing this harness could not have been easier. This is a plug-in unit and the installation video was excellent, though I didn't feel the need to take the long strip over the lock off. I installed it coming through the hatch. It would have taken a lot less time if my lady friend hadn't been texting me.
Perfect fit and function. Installation was simple and straightforward after reviewing etrailer video!
Still have yet to test it out but it seemed to plug in fine. I didn't like the method of pinching the cable on the rear hatch when in use since I wanted to keep the harness mounted on the hitch at all times so I referred to a different install video that showed me how to run the wires through a grommet in the rear of the vehicle.
Top quality hitch that was easy to mount. The video about installing on my specific vehicle was very useful.
Great product quality. Like the hitch I purchased from Etrailer great quality at a good price. The dealer wanted $250 for this $35 product. The videos on how to install are great!
Products were top quality! The installation went very well, primarily from me watching the video on the product listing. The video was clear and MUCH better than the written directions. I get all of my trailer needs from etrailer, past, present, and future! Tammie from customer service was great, checking in and making sure everything was perfect on my order! Thanks!
I am very pleased with the results. It went a lot faster once the wiring connector at the left tail light was located. It would have saves a lot of time and frustration if a picture could
be included With an arrow pointing to the correct connection. It also would have helped a lot if I had ordered the correct kit but to start with, but they were excellent in sending the correct kit and refunding for the first one.
