Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness Installation - 2017 Ford Explorer- Video
Rob: Hey, everybody. Rob here at etrailer.com, and today we're going to be taking a look at the CURT T-connector vehicle wiring harness on our 2017 Ford Explorer. Now, our CURT T-connector harness is going to provide us with a four pole flat trailer connector, so we have all the required lights to get down the road safely, like your stop lights, your turn signals, and even your tail lights.I do want to mention, we have ours mounted to our hitch using a four pole bracket. Now, if your hitch doesn't have a spot to mount it, you can still use a four pole bracket. You may just need to pick up a no drill bracket in an addition, but I think it just gives it a cleaner look and really easy to access when we need to. That's going to provide us with a dust cover because our wiring is designed to stay on the outside, so we'll make sure all that dirt, debris and grime stays out of our connectors, and we shouldn't have any kind of issues when it comes to connections. more
