  • Trailer Hitch Wiring
  • Powered Converter
  • CURT

Quickly and easily install a 4-way trailer connector on your vehicle 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
  • Limited 1-year warranty



Note: This kit fills in the missing parts of a complete factory tow package. The plug beneath the dashboard will be located above the brake pedal, farther back on the far left side. There will be a couple of connections beneath the dashboard, but the one that is close to the brake pedal and furthest to the outside is the correct connector. This connector may have blue tape wrapped around it, although not in every vehicle.

Installation

This custom-fit T-connector plugs into your vehicle's wiring harness, which is located beneath the floor panel in your rear cargo area.


Once installation is complete, the 4-way connector will be stowed within the spare tire compartment of 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.

1. Great job on the quality and finish of the hitch and hardware. The only glitch was that one of the star washers which mount onto the long bolts on the inside of the frame had to be filed/reamed out to fit onto the long bolt. They are of hardened steel so a little work.

2. You may be able to cut down on the length of the long, through-frame bolts by at least 3/4-1". The same for the U-bolt that goes through the center tow loop on the bottom of the Element. (If you'd like I can send pictures.)

3. Both electrical connectors hooked up to the appropriate places in the vehicle wiring harness as per the instructions; the best I've experienced.

4. Previously I've ordered a hitch for a different vehicle through Amazon and the poor packaging arrived torn and missing an important component. Your boxed shipment, while more expensive, arrived in very good condition with everything secured very nicely to the outer box, (nothing rattling around!). Tell the folks in shipping "Good Job and keep up the good work!"

Works fine! The fit was great, everything works as it should

The kit arrived a day earlier than expected. The tracking information provided by eTrailer also included links to online videos, photos, and text describing the contents and installation directions. When I encountered what appeared to be a discrepancy between my vehicle and a connector in the kit, I called customer support and was directed to more detailed information on the eTrailer website that resolved the issue. The customer support person was patient and helpful and the amount of information tailored to the use of the kit on my particular vehicle was impressive. The quality of their service and the fair price they charged will encourage me to do business with them again.

My order took a bit longer to receive than previous orders from eTrailer but I did receive it in less than 2 weeks. The trailer wiring harness for my 2007 Honda Element came with good instructions, was easy to install, and functions as expected. The price for this product was quite competitive. I am very satisfied with the shopping experience.

2011 Honda Element

This is a factory OEM quality product. The accessory pieces are all included and the instructions could not be clearer on installation and even storage of the wire and plug when not in use. The plug is a flat four and is self testing. I will be purchasing my hitch accessories in the future from etrailer. Great job girls and guys!



by:
2011 Honda Element

great installation instructions - videos, and such.

unit installed easily.

The toughest thing was finding the connector in my car to plug it into.

all the required hardware and connectors were present in the packaging.



by:
2008 Honda Element

Would have saved 10 minutes if I had read the instructions included with the light kit. The plug will not fit... if you do not take off the protective cover. After removing the cover it takes 3 seconds to install the back part. I was lacking confidence and really did not want to get under the dash so I took the front wiring harness to my mechanic. By the time he was ready to work on it I was finished installing it myself. You just got to find the plug. Will use the self tapping screw to ground.
So I almost called twice, but glad I didn't need to.



by:

Easy hook up. Took me 6 minutes to install this system. Very easy. If I can do this, anyone can! Thanks etrailer!

Simple to install, great directions and video on web site.

Everything is working great. I have had absolutely no issues with harness since installation a year ago.

45 minute install. It takes a minute to find the plug under the dash. Drilled through my trunk and used a rubber grommet to route the trailer plug. Thanks

Very good product at very good price - only downside(minor) double sided tape not very good for securing unit under dash. Easy to install - did what it was supposed to do.

Was simple to install. Rear harness long enough to reach over the tailgate and have plenty of slack at the hitch. Stows under floor in the spare tire compartment.

  • Trailer Wiring Harness Recommendation for a 2011 Honda Element
    Basically the Tow Ready Harness part # 118465 and the Curt Harness part # C56029 are two different manufacturers take on the same wiring harness. Either will work and will accomplish the same thing. I like the Curt wiring harnesses better though as they use a more modern circuit board with makes them a bit more reliable.

  • Trailer Wiring Harness For A 2011 Honda Element
    The T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118465, The Curt Harness # C56029, and The Hopkins Harness # HM11143225 are all the same when it comes to wiring your 2011 Honda Element. The T-One Vehicle Harness # 118465 is a higher grade of wiring (16 gauge) so it will be able to survive the elements longer then the other two harnesses. Every once in awhile there is a bad harness because it wasn't made right but I strongly would choose going back to The T-One harness # 118465 over the other two....

  • How to Determine the Correct Ball Mount for 2007 Honda Element Towing Yakima Rack and Roll Trailer
    It is best to choose a ball mount after you have the the trailer hitch installed. This is because the height of the hitch on your 2007 Honda Element will dictate the rise or drop that you will need. Unfortunately we do not know the height of a trailer hitch on a 2007 element, but I have attached a help article that explains how to choose the correct ball mount for you to check out once you have the hitch installed. I am not sure which trailer hitch you are interested in for your Element,...

  • Parts Needed to Install 7-Way and Brake Controller in 2007 Honda Element
    You will need to start with a 4-way trailer wiring harness (if you do not have one) for your 2007 Honda Element. For that you would want the # C56029 that you referenced as it's a direct fit for your vehicle and installs easily. From there you would need to convert the 4-way to a 7-way so that you can install the brake controller. For that you will want the Brake Controller Install Kit and 7-Way Adapter part # ETBC7. I attached installation instructions and an install video for this product...

  • Trailer Wiring Harness for a 2006 Honda Element EX-P
    Trailer wiring harness # C56029 has not been tested and confirmed as a fit for the 2006 Honda Element so I cannot recommend it. The safe bet is to stick with a hardwire harness such as # C59496. I have linked the installation instructions for you.

  • Purpose of White Wire on Curt T-Connector # C56029 for 2011 Honda Element
    The white wire with the ring terminal (see photo I edited for you) is indeed a ground wire. It would connect to a factory grounding point under the dash, if available. Otherwise, you can use the included self-tapping screw to attach it to a nearby metal portion of the vehicle body. Before driving the screw in, be sure the area behind it is clear of any wiring that could be damaged.

  • Troubleshooting No Cruise Control of 2008 Honda Element after Trailer Wiring Install
    First try removing the harness to see if the cruise control starts to work again. That will isolate the harness or the install as the problem. Next try carefully reinstalling it and see if the problem comes back. Sometimes a connector not seating all the way or a fuse not install properly causes odd issues. If that does not fix it the harness is most likely bad and would need to be replaced.

  • Troubleshooting Trailer Running Lights That Do Not Work on Wiring Harness in 2008 Honda Element
    Thank you for your hitch purchase earlier this year. When some trailer lights work, such as the brake and turn lights, but the running lights do not work properly, the most common cause is a weak ground connection. This is because a weak ground will be able to pass enough current to operate lights that come on sometimes, such as turn and brake lights, but NOT enough current to also operate the always-on running lights. If a certain function does not work at all at any time then it is likely...
