Installation
This custom-fit T-connector plugs into your vehicle's factory tow package wiring harness, which is located behind the rear, passenger's-side wheel well trim panel.
You will have to locate and remove the (5) T-20 Torx screws with a T-20 Torx bit (not included) and pull back on the wheel well trim panel. It might be easier to access this connection if you remove the additional Torx screw holding the harness in place.
Once you've located the wiring harness, remove the protective cover and plug in the connector.
Once you've plugged in the connector, insert the included fuses and relays into their locations in the fuse box, which is located in the engine compartment.
Once installation is complete, the 4-way flat connector will be stowed beneath your vehicle, near the trailer hitch. A mounting bracket (sold separately) is recommended to keep the connector secure.
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.

Quickly and easily install a 4-way trailer connector on your vehicle with this custom harness. Connector plugs directly into OEM tow package port - no cutting, splicing or tapping required.
This connector worked great! Make sure you really press the factory end together with the harness it takes quite a bit of pressure to make the connection.
Good instructions, complete package installed with no problem. The only issue was locating the battery negative lead cable which was on the floorboard behind the passenger seat. I had to do a Google search to find that information.
Easy hook up, the hardest part was getting your hand up in the rear wheel liner to plug into the harness, but wasn't too bad. Everything else was a piece of cake, plug and play.....
Works great. You can't see it at all when not using. I pulled my old Nissan Xterra up to Indianapolis, Indiana from Lake Charles,Louisiana with no problems. Actually just used it today to pull my small 13' tilt bed trailer to go pick up a portable generator I bought.
Great product made specifically for the Chevy Traverse. Contains everything necessary for the electrical wireing except zipties and wire shield tubing. I tried many of the "OEM" harnesses from Autozone, O'Reilly's and Napa but they did not have the correct plug housing to match the factory plug up in the fender.
Wish I would have found this to start with or that a full package option with a hitch reciever was offered!
Very easy plug and play. 2014 Buick Enclave AWD
E trailer products are always great
Fast easy installation process. Product came quickly in the mail.
Thank you!
Super easy install on a GMC Acadia! Plugged in and tied it to the hitch, done.
Worked very well on my car
Installed the 75528 hitch and C56202 harness for my 2015 Buick Enclave over the weekend. The install was simple and the you tube videos were a big help. There could have been a little extra length on the wire harness, but overall plugged right into my existing connectors. The hitch is hidden and is clean after reinstalling the back cover. Overall very satisfied.
Clay H - 07/05/2017I found the entire process to install the trailer hitch and wiring was made easy by trailer videos.
Needed this kit for the hitch I purchased. came as expected. I decided in the end not to put it on as it is in the high 90's here in Florida. Just didn't feel like crawling under the truck. However I did talk to the mechanic shop that installed it for me and they said it is one of the easier after market hitches and wiring kits they ever installed. Also etrailer was great to deal with as well.
Joey D - 01/06/2018The folks at etrailer are awesome! Installation was simple and straight forward with the help of the online videos. Couldn't be happier with my experience. I highly recommend and will purchase from here again!!
Excellent product. Access to the vehicle connection was tight but with a little extra leverage was able to mate the connections. Owners manual and fuse/breaker cover diagram aided in the installation of the fuses and breakers. Works GREAT.
Rod W - 12/09/2015The trailer hitch was easy to install, no problems. I had the trailer lighting hookup installed and it works great. Your products are great!
John B - 06/06/2018Super! On the Traverse, the factory provides all trailer wiring at a connector in the right rear fenderwell. This harness easily plugs right into that connector, and is just the perfect length to bring the plug out to the hitch. I used the TrailerMate TM76470 mounting bracket on my Hidden Hitch 87435 receiver. The length of the wire harness is perfect -- reaches just right, without a bunch of extra wire to deal with. The harness includes relays and fuses to add to the factory fuse panel to utilize the factory harness. The instructions are incorrect as to where the battery of the Traverse is (under the floor behind front passengers' seat), and also where the factory connector is (right rear fenderwell), and the diagram for the placement of fuses and relays requires some studying (look in the lid of the factory fuse box - everything is labeled). You DO NOT have to remove the fenderwell to get to the connector -- reaching up there from below is easy. Look at eTrailer's help videos online -- this really is an easy product to install -- with no tools!
Fast delivery my order was complete I will not hesitate to order again if I need any additional parts.
Product installed by U-Haul, and worked fine for about 7-8 months. After that all lights on my 2014 Buick Enclave no longer functioned. No brake, turn signals, or tail lights worked. Buick dealer nor U-haul would not work on the issue, and had to completely remove the product to get the lights working again.
DO NOT buy this product.
The Curt 56245 worked on our 2014 GMC Acadia without tow package. It allowed us to use the built-in factory installed wiring to power the tail and brake/turn lights. I like that a lot better than using a 2-wire harness that plugs into the vehicle lights and having to run and hookup a hot wire to the battery.
Installation was easy once I found good instructions. It is very easy to install.
Be aware, according to the Curt instructions the connector is on the drivers side, but it's actually on the passenger side. They also say that you have to remove the fender well, but that's not required. Due to these discrepancies I gave it 4 stars. The Tow Ready 118270 has much better instructions and I would have purchased it for that reason, if I had known it was available at the time.
There are a couple of things to be aware of when installing the harness (These would apply to either the Curt or the Tow Ready harnesses.).
First, the factory connector end is attached to the body and ours was turned sideways. It's relatively easy to turn it straight down so that you can plug the 8-pin connector into it.
Second, the space is tight, but I have large arms and was able to fit my hand and arm in the space near the wheel and maneuver the connectors.
Third, the connectors fit together tightly and I didn't get them completely seated together the first try, therefore the lights didn't work and I had to go back and completely seat them together. When seated correctly you should hear a little click and the back of the new connector retainer should be even with the end of the factory connector.
I routed the harness cable over the bumper bracket so it's out of the way of any hot and sharp parts. I also routed it above the square hitch tube instead of behind it due to the slight possibility of it getting damaged if the ball mount was inserted into the receiver too far or when removing the spare tire.
One more note; The ty-wraps (wire ties) that come with the harness are too short to go around the tube of the hitch. Just something to be aware of. I always have plenty of different sized ties so it wasn't a problem for me.
Perfect fit.
This vehicle wiring harness worked as advertised and was both easy to install and connect. Since installation, I have had no issues with the wiring as the included tie wraps have proved effective. The biggest challenge I experienced during installation was getting to my car's connector. Once accessed, installation went smoothly.
I ordered the Draw Tite Max Frame trailer hitch, dielectric contact grease, Curt T-Connector Wiring Harness and the Curt Class 3 ball mount with 2" ball. Everything arrived in a VERY timely fashion and in excellent condition. The install went exactly as described in the HELPFUL videos that are posted on the website. Very happy with the product so far. Just waiting for the opportunity to actually haul my trailer. : )
Excellent hitch and cable. Used the video to make the installation easy. etrailer had the best price and support of any of the companies I searched. Thanks!
Kris M - 10/18/2018I purchased a Curt trailer hitch and s wiring harness for our GMC Acadia. Everything fit perfectly. Easy to install. I am very glad i chose etrailer ... great prices too. Everything shipped and was delivered quickly.
