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 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.


Powered Tail Light Converter with Surface-Mount Technology

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.


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.

I'm very pleased with this wiring harness. I just used it all week last week with a hitch mounted cargo carrier and did not detect any issues. The install was pretty easy. I have the 8-pasenger sienna and the install worked exactly as shown in the e-trailer video. The only place where I made any changes is I actually routed the power wire to the battery through the interior of the vehicle. The large grommet in the firewall where most of the wiring passes into the interior has a small (separate) opening at on the bottom side. This opening was a perfect size for the black power wire in this kit. Many of the trim pieces along the bottom of the driver interior were easy to remove to feed the wire through and those that were not were easy to slide the wire under to hide it. I highly recommend routing the power wire through the interior. If you search youtube there is a great video of installing this harness on a 2020 sienna and he shows how to route the wire through the interior. I've attached a couple pictures of the wire passing through the grommet. They aren't great but hopefully somewhat helpful.

After using the wiring harness for a year its still working out well for me. I just used it last week with a cargo carrier and the lights were still working well. Ive used it about 4 times this year and when its not in use it tucks nicely into the 8th seat compartment so its not really in the way during normal use.



by:

I installed the wiring harness perfectly, then found the left and right signals were reversed. It was the installation directions that were reversed - I double checked it all the way and afterwards. Had to start over and modify things to make it right.

I ordered the Curt trailer wiring harness for my 2014 Toyota Sienna after watching several online videos for different products. I was impressed by the quality and thoroughness of the etrailer product and instructions. Ordering was easy and the package arrived quickly. Installation pretty much went exactly as the video described. I kept the instruction video open on my computer and watched it segment by segment as I progressed to be sure I wasn't forgetting anything. I'm always a little nervous about breakage when removing interior panels, but because of the clear instructions there weren't any problems. (I used a large flat pry-bar for a panel tool) I expected the most difficult and time consuming part to be running the wire under the car to the battery, and it was. But mostly because my floor jack stopped working and I had to use the vehicles scissor jack. But it was pretty easy to find a safe route forward for the wire. All in all it took me about half a day to do the job, and when I was finished and I tested the lights, everything worked perfectly! My first impressions of this product when shopping on line was that it would be of good quality, and I feel the same way after installing and working with it. It's solidly made and the plug and play connectors are really easy to install and a good solution for a solid hook up. Now if only my trailers lights worked that well!

All around great product. Easy instructions, easy installation. Good value.

The product still performs like new and it seems like many things Ive purchased lately cannot make that claim.



by:

This thing works great and continues to work for me. Although I just traded that vehicle for another Toyota Sienna and I will soon be purchasing another one of these.



by:

Worked as expected. Ran power wire through electrical bushing in fire wall, then under door thresholds with other vehicle wiring.



by:
2013 ToyotaSienna

Well, I got it done. :D I reckon that's good. The video guide was great. The wire for the power to the back was long enough, I cut off a whole 3" which felt a little close.



by:

Not only works perfectly, but included the wiring needed. As the newer cars do not have a fat wire supplying 10 amps or so to the rear of the car, per the instructions, I just added one.



by:

Easy install. Works the way it should.



by:
2014 ToyotaSienna

There is only one thing about this kit that I DON'T love and that is the way that power to run the system is acquired. The easy installation is by unplugging wires from the tail lights and plugging them into a T connector. The T is then plugged back into the tail lights and the wiring to the lights is done. Tuck everything behind the trim and it's beautiful.

However, to get power to run the lights the kit requires that you run a "hot lead" to the battery. It suggests you run it under the car where there is exactly zero other wiring. Why? Because it is a bad place for wires, even the heavy and well insulated wire included with the kit. This is the downfall of the kit.

A better way would be instructions for running the wire inside the car instead of outside. I didn't do that, either. In MY case, I stole power from the 12V power outlet in the right rear panel near where I wired into the right turn signal. I changed the trailer kit fuse from the 10A included to a 5A to be sure I wasn't overloading the 12V outlet circuit that was clearly labelled 10A max. It works just fine on my utility trailer and my boat trailer. Each has only one turn/brake and one running light on each side and 5A is just enough even with incandescent fixtures. If I had more lights, I'd switch them to LEDs to keep the current requirements under 5A.

It is strongly recommend to run the 12 volt power wire directly to the vehicle battery. The 12 volt accessory circuit was not designed to support the additional load of a trailer wiring harness. A wiring harness must have its own dedicated circuit directly to the battery. We have seen many instances where customers have tapped into a 12 volt accessory circuit, like a car lighter socket, and the harness failed. We have also seen instances where the accessory circuit on the car failed in addition to the trailer wiring harness. Also, this will typically void warranties both with the wiring harness and on the vehicle. For more help with routing the wire, see this helpful article found at: https:/www.etrailer.com/faq-Routing-a-Power-Wire.aspx

Note that the harness for a 2013 Sienna is different than shown in the 2012 Sienna video. I am not sure why, but everything is reversed.

I would consider the trim removal tool to be mandatory on a DIY - will definitely help protect the trim. Also, a long flat bladed screwdriver will be handy for separating the lower driver-side trim, from the upper. There is a tab that needs to be released.

The paper instructions that came with the unit were pretty poor - especially in contrast to the high quality video of the 2012 Sienna.

The video we have is for the Tow Ready harness designed for the Sienna. Though the harnesses install very similarly, the converter box mounts in difference locations. With the Curt harness the box mounts behind the driver side tail light. The Tow Ready kit, part # 118498, mounts the box inside the passenger side jack storage compartment in the cargo area.



by:

I did not install the wiring harness, however I was not advised by the installer of having any issues or complaints installing the harness and to my knowledge the harness is working fine because the trailer is now being pulled.

Jimmy

The wiring harness continues to be very dependable, a quality product.



by:

Worked as advertised. Plugged right in to existing tail/brake light plugs. The only part I didn't like was running the power line up to the battery, but there wasn't really anything they could have done to make that any easier. After a year of using it, I haven't had any issues.

Ima K.

Still working as good as day one. I only use it about 10 times a year for towing a small motorcycle trailer, but havent had any issues. I can always just plug it in and go.



by:

Printed instructions with the harness are fair at best, video on the etrailer site is invaluable, although the product for my model Sienna 2013 installs on the opposite side from the video, so transformer is a bit tougher to place. Have purchased several items from etrailer, always great customer service!

All is working great, will certainly shop again when looking for trailer related items, and will enthusiastically recommend etrailer to anyone needing the same.

Its been a year and still going strong. This item is built to last.

Avoid this kit and get the Tekonsha wiring kit instead! Installation for this Curt kit is much harder than it needs to be due to the need to place the controller box on the left side of the vehicle. Prying back the interior trim panel is difficult and doesn’t leave you much room to work with. The control box for the Tekonsha kit goes on the right side where there is a very convenient access door and plenty of room to work and mount the box.

I’m not sure if it’s bad luck on my part or due to the convoluted install location, but one of the wires on this kit got pinched, eventually causing a short a few months later, blowing the fuse for the turn signals. I’m glad I got the Tekonsha kit to replace this one as installation was a snap and the possibility of punching wires seems much lower than with this Curt kit.

So everything was fine until about a month ago. I had lost one side of my vehicles turn signals. Once I pulled the fuse for the wiring kit it was no longer a problem.

According to Curt, theres been an internal short in the converter box, which is what is causing the problem you mentioned. The vast majority of the time, when a taillight converter shorts out its been caused by a short circuit somewhere in the trailer wiring or a damaged trailer connector on the vehicle or the trailer. Id recommend closely examining the trailer wiring, beginning at the trailer connector and working your way back to each lamp. Look for pinched or broken wires or loose connections. Check for cracked or worn wire insulation that would allow the copper conductor inside the wire to short out on the trailer frame. Ill link you to a help article on troubleshooting trailer wiring which will be helpful.



by:

I love the hideaway aspect...this hitch goes up under the plastic shield under the Sienna - only the receiver shows. So far it hasn't rusted. In MN the salt and chemicals put on the roads makes trailer hitches pretty ugly after 3 or 4 years. Not a fan of powder coating. Nothing beats a full epoxy primer and catalyzed enamel - not sure what is on this hitch as they call it a "coating" but for now its good. Unfortunately, the Sienna is not a vehicle you can really tow much with. The suspension is wimpy and there are no aftermarket air shocks available. So I actually haven't used the hitch except to hang a bike rack on it.



by:
2014 ToyotaSienna

I finally got around to installing this wiring kit. As others have said, installing the power wire from the battery to the back of the van was the hardest part. I went down the passenger side, there was a wiring harness with rubber grommet behind the glove box that I was able to sneak the wire through. There was just more crap I'd have to wade through on the drivers side at the firewall. Then I popped the plastic rocker panel covers off and laid the new wire next to existing ones. An electrician's snake was VERY helpful to snake it over the rear wheel area and I added about 6 feet of wire to get to the driver's side, behind the trim panels (they pop off also). I hung the control box behind the trim panel, there is plenty of room for it. The new trailer plug wire comes out cleanly in the little gap between the seats folded down and the back of the van, everything else is hidden. The way that you unplug the light and insert these plugs into the existing wiring is a beautiful thing. I installed the unit and it all worked. I recently bought this van used, it's our second Sienna. This one came with a trailer hitch but we think it was only used for a bike rack - there was no evidence of wiring for a trailer so that's why I had to go this route. I just ordered "air bags" for the rear springs, I know from experience that they help with towing a lot.



by:
2013 ToyotaSienna

I bought this along with a new hitch. It was easy to install though it did take a while to find a good path for it. The install video said to leave it in the trunk and just pull it out when you need it. I instead routed it through one of the plugs in the undercarriage so that it could hang by the receiver. All in all this worked well until I did a little minivan off-roading that messed up my connector a bit, but if I had to do it again I do it the same way. No messy wires hanging out in the trunk this way. Keeps the wife happy.



by:

One year later I'm extremely pleased with this purchase. I often chuckle when I see stock hitches and the whole thing is visible while mine is neatly tucked under with everything hidden except for the 2" receiver. 10/10 have recommended etrailer on many occasions to friends and family for their service and know-how. Since installing my hitch I towed a pop up camper 1500+kms and do frequent trips to the dump or my local dirt and gravel yard for supplies. Love it!

Had this package installed by my local garage. Finally got a chance to use when we went on vacation. Pulled a 5 x 8 trailer for a couple hour trip to the beach and didn't have any issues. Really happy with how everything worked out.

Dont use it often but when I have there have been no issues. Still pleased with the product.

2012ToyotaSienna

I ordered the Curt wiring harness and frame mount for the tow hitch. I installed them in my driveway on two consecutive Sundays. Both took 2 hours. The etrailer frame mount video was very helpful, but the wiring harness diagram and etrailer video for my 2011 Sienna were not. Luckily youtube had one for a 2012. In addition to updating the video link, how about "don't forget your wiring tester". The tester didn't pop up on the bottom scrolling items "buyers who bought this, also bought...." section. I wish I had bought all 3 items together, now I've gotta cross my fingers for a week to confirm I installed everything right.



by:
2012ToyotaSienna

All went together just like the instructions except for the power lead, I had to splice in a two foot extension to reach the battery area on the Sienna. Perhaps, I didn't follow the shortest path, but I was careful in avoiding hot or moving areas. Also, I dropped the power lead down from the left side tail light assembly to access the underside. Just wondering, could I have tapped the 12V 120W power located near the right rear corner of the van? I know it's only hot when the ignition is in the on position.

Etrailer Expert

Patrick B.

10/30/2014

Tapping into a power source at the rear of the vehicle is not recommended. Not all of them are only hot with ignition. Furthermore, its usually unknown exactly what else is on those circuits so a short on the trailer would overdraw that whole circuit taking out whatever else is on it. Perhaps most importantly, is the goal behind the power wire itself. The idea is to separate the power draw for the trailer lights to its own feed. This protects the vehicle. If you splice into another power source rather than running that wire as a dedicated feed, youve defeated the purpose.

  • Can Trailer Wiring Harness Power Wire be Connected to Power Port at Back of 2014 Toyota Sienna
    You must connect trailer wiring harness # C56106 to the battery on your 2014 Toyota Sienna for a few reasons. The main reason is that having the harness connected directly to the battery further isolates it and any shorts from the trailer side from the vehicle. So if there was a short it would blow the power wire fuse or converter but would not harm the vehicle electrical system. Another reason is that there can be other things fused with the power ports on vehicles and adding more draw...

    Yes, you can replace just the box portion of the # 118498 with the part # C56106. It would be just a matter of cutting the converter out of your vehicle and then wiring the box up accordingly. Typically converter boxes don't just short out for no reason though so you would want to go over your trailer wiring looking for any cut or exposed wire that could have shorted out the box and fix as necessary so that you don't just break the new converter box.

  • Trailer Wiring Harness Recommendations for a 2012 Sienna XLE AWD
    Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector, # C56106, is a fit for your 2012 Toyota Sienna. You can also use T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # 118498 or Hopkins Plug-In Simple Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # HM11143495. All of them install and function the same way. I prefer # 118498 because we hear about less issues with the Tekonsha brand. I have linked a video showing an example installation...

  • Do Both 4-Way and 7-Way Hot Leads Need to Be Ran on a 2017 Toyota Sienna
    Yes, the 12 volt power wire on the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness part # C56106 which is a fit for your 2017 Toyota Sienna SE will still need to be ran to the positive side of the battery terminal when combined with a 7-way wiring harness like the Curt Universal Installation Kit for Trailer Brake Controller part # C57186. The reason for this is because the power wire on the 4-way harness is designed to help minimize the power draw on the vehicle's electrical circuits whereas the...

  • 12 Volt Power Wire Must be Connected to Vehicle Battery on 2013 Toyota Sienna
    The battery that is in your 2013 Toyota Sienna gets a constant charge from the alternator. A battery just sitting there might have power but that power is going to slowly fade as it powers the trailer lights. And if you seldom tow, if the battery sits long enough it could go dead. Then you go to tow the trailer and have no power to the trailer lights and you either have to wait while it charges or go buy a new battery. Running the wire to the vehicle battery is not as difficult as you...

  • Does the 2012 Toyota Sienna Have a Power Wire Already at the Back to Power Trailer Wiring Converter
    This is the first time that I have heard any vehicle had a power wire ran to the back specifically to power a converter box. It is possible that a vehicle can have a wire ran to the back for the 12 volt circuit on a 7-Way trailer connector. The manufacturers of the wiring harnesses for the 2012 Toyota Sienna (# 118498 and # C56106) state that the connection has to be a dedicated line from the converter to the battery via the included fuse and fuse holder. Routing the power wire is...

  • Why Does Trailer Wiring for 2017 Toyota Sienna Require Running Wire to Vehicle Battery
    Trailer wiring like the # C56106 that you reference attaches to the vehicle's battery directly as a way to bypass all of the vehicle's delicate wiring circuits to draw power for the trailer's wiring. If you ran the power wire to a circuit on the fuse box you'd no longer have the circuit protection and potentially could damage your vehicle. I know it's kind of a drag to have to run a wire all the way back from the rear of your 2017 Toyota Sienna to the vehicle battery but it's the safest...
