Installation
This custom-fit T-connector plugs into your vehicle's wiring harness, which is located behind the rear bumper, on both the driver's and passenger's sides.
Once installation is complete, the 5-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 plugs on your automobile and the 5-pole connector itself - to help prevent corrosion.
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.
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.

Having done many vehicles the old way I recommend that you save yourself time, money, and frustration by purchasing the plug and play harness. You will thank everyone involved, trust me.
Works really great. Still have a few more towing needs but can't do that a the moment. I will be ordering some more parts when I get time. Thanks again for the great product. You will hear from me real soon.
Overall, I think that the product works well and is relatively easy to install. My only complaint is that it requires the user to drill a self tapping screw for the ground wire but the ground wire length coming out of the harness is too short to attach to a ground point if the device is installed per the instructions. My preferred location for installation (which is concurred by the instructions) is behind the driver's side tail light. This doesn't present any easily accessible spots for grounding and the ground wire as provided isn't long enough to reach a good ground point. I would prefer to keep the device behind the tail light because this is the best protected from the elements. Hanging it under the vehicle exposes it to all manner of elements and potential snags.
This is a relatively minor issue but is still an issue, nevertheless. Overall, this is a good product that is easy to install.
Worked great for our truck hitch that had to be replaced to a 5 pin to match our boat trailer. Installed it ourselves. Thanks for a quality product!
This harness installed quickly and easily. For the premium price, it should have included the optional mount bracket. I added a wire loom to the last couple of feet for protection. I dislike the price, but didn't want to splice into my trucks wiring with a universal harness. Shipping was fast. (Be sure to mount the box behind the left taillight before screwing down the ground wire. If not, you may not have enough ground wire to allow the box to reach up behind the taillight.)
The trailer Hitch Wiring fits perfect on my Tacoma. No need to add wires is plug and play.
This is to praise the service I received from etrailer.com. They phoned me after I placed my order to confirm my shipping details. My product was shipped ONE day after my order was received! I loved their tracking link. It was a direct link from within my shipping notification, not a redirect to a shipper's site where one has to enter a tracking number. And the coolest part was the map that was displayed with the shipping location, my location and a cute little truck on the way. Loved it! Thanks for a great experience, I wish all sellers websites and customer service departments were as good as etrailer.com!!!!!
etrailer is the best site to order any of you're needs trailer related. I have had nothing but fast & friendly service every time!

Working just fine. Mostly happy with easy installation.
The instructions were clear, and installation was simple. I ended up selling the vehicle I installed it on about 6 months after installing, but I had zero issues while it was in my possession.
I have not used the product yet but I have installed it my vehicle. Since I had a 4 pin already installed the installation was quite easy.
My dissapointment is with the lack of any tape or sleeving over the wires - epecally the wire run up to the 5 pin connector where it could easily get chafed over time. I will be adding some protection there on my own as my previous 4 pin came with it.
The Trailer hitch and harness came within a few days.
Everything is installed without a problem.
I plan to test it out tonight.
Thanks

Product works well. Double sided tape on back of “controller” let’s go over time regardless of how clean vehicle surface is before installation.
Easy installation. Took me 15 minutes to knock it out. Clear, very clean, install. Thanks!!! Always get great customer care from etrailer.com!!!!
Fast shipping, quality product. EASY INSTALL!!! I have always loved that about these type of trailer kits, in and out and ready to go.
Thanks
