Extremely appreciative of the tech help I got from Phillip at etrailer
Knowledge was spot on with our vehicle and the products needed to install the hitch, wiring, and bracket.
by: Martin05/08/2016
The product was very good BUT all my problems were caused by POOR instructions. They explained how to attach the ground although this one did not have (and was not supposed to have) a separate ground wire.
When I first tested it, the trailer lights worked but not the turn signals or brakes. I eventually learned that the relays have a specific orientation when plugged in although the instructions never mentioned it. There is a dust cover supplied but no mention of it's proper attachment. Even the connection to the car took some head scratching since it's orientation is not obvious.
There were lots of full color photos but no pictures to really show what to do.

Ordered and Received Curt trailer hitch and t-connector in no time from etrailer. Since I wasn't ready to install, finally got to the project. Since the threads on the car required rethreading, took a little longer to install hitch. But overall, pretty simple process. The t-connector was a snap, just follow video and completed in no time. Highly recommend both Curt trailer hitch and t-connector.

2010 Chevrolet Equinox
We just bought a 2008 Chevy Equinox to pull our pop up. It has a trailer hitch but no wiring harness. I watched the etrailer.com's video for installing the fuses and relays before I ordered the wire harness kit. Had it completely installed in 10 minutes! I recently bought tire covers from etrailer.com and am happy with their quick shipments and fair prices.

2008 Chevrolet Equinox
This review will be more about the actual purchasing process. Did the typical google search looking for a harness for my 2008 Equinox. Came across etrailer.com and moved forward with the purchase. Easily found what I needed at a reasonable cost.
Placed the order and got things moving. Received a call from the etrailer.com folks asking about the best way for shipping in an attempt to save on costs. Not many companies will make that effort. Had good electronic communication all during the purchasing and shipping process. What really stood out for me was the phone call, who does that anymore in an era of PRESS 1, PRESS 2 automated phone systems. Well, etrailers.com does! Thanks

Incredibly easy installation! The package arrived quickly and the easy to follow video made the installation a snap. Thanks trailer.
by: Deedadee05/15/2019
For the price you cant really complain. Wire is pretty thin and is easy to cut through wiring when trying to coating off. Lasted around 3 months before wire became brittle. Used on boat trailer. Probably had 20-30 tows before i replaced again.

2007 Suzuki XL-7
Installed this recently on a friend's Suzuki XL-7. The instructions were perfect and the install only took about 20 minutes. The vehicle didn't specify that it had a factory tow package but the connector was there behind the jack access. We were both impressed with the ease of installation and the quality of the product. I would highly recommend this company and their products.

Great service from etrailer.com. They were able to provide two day shipping at no extra cost. The wiring harness was much easier to install than expected.
by: Daniel02/20/2018
The item was exactly as described the cost was very fair and good compared to others on line. This is a company that has earned the right to use the two words Customer Service in the same sentence. That is not very true of what seems like most business now days.
Thank you etrailer, if I ever need anything out of your product line again, I'm in !!

Great price for hitch and wiring. Great videos for install on site too. Wish it came with wirebrush for cleaning holes for n/c.
However happy. Will work fine to pull 2 atvs.

2009 Suzuki XL7
This came in (bonus points for delivering to Canada!) And the install took me about 10 minutes. They have a video for everything its amazing!! Installed it without any issues, worked like a charm for my suzuki xl-7. Couldn't find this wiring harness anywhere locally, couldn't be happier with the overall service.
by: Jason 10/18/2021
Easy install. Didn’t even need to remove trim panel. Reach in from jack storage compartment and snap connectors together. Adding relays and fuses under the hood was fast and easy too.
by: Curt04/14/2017
2008 Suzuki XL7
Works perfect - a great solution. The vehicle connector was not on the bottom of the car jack compartment, it was near the top of the compartment and a little to the rear of the vehicle. It was mounted with the connector facing down.
by: Samantha07/29/2018
2008 Chevrolet Equinox
Easy to install
The two relays are able to be installed two ways in the fuse panel but will only work one way
Took alittle bit to figure out why power wasn’t going to the plug
The 2008 equinox trailer relays need to be installed perpendicular of existing relays
Once that was fixed all worked as it should
by: Juan 07/27/2022
etrailer has reasonable prices and excellent service. As stated the products I purchased came on time and in tact. I recommend any and everyone to etrailer.

Saturn Relay
Everything went smoothly with the wiring installation. The only issue is with the relays. The markings were not very ledgible. Would help if they were better so that the relay goes in correctly and not reversed.

Everything great except the package instructions leave a little to be desired. I googled installation of the harness and it was much clearer - overall good deal.

These relays weren't available locally, and this kit got me running as soon as I installed everything (2007 Torrent). Clear directions. The parts work.

- Troubleshooting no Trailer Blinkers/Brake Lights with Curt Harness # C56012 on 2007 Chevy EquinoxIt sounds like you have installed the fuses/relays in the wrong spot or they have blown. I would double check that all of the fuses and relays are good and in the correct locations as this is most likely what the issue is. I attached an FAQ article on troubleshooting 4-way installs for you to check out as well.
view full answer... - Which Way Should Relays of Curt T-Connector Wiring Harness part # C56012 In Fuse BoxMake sure you have the relays installed in the correct orientation. I attached a picture that shows how they should face. As someone who has wired up relays wrong in the past and they still worked once I figured out the correct wiring I can say from first hand experience that they don't short out when wired or installed wrong in most situations.

- Trailer Running Lights Not Working when Connected to Wiring Harness # C56012The 3 circuits on the wiring harness, # C56012, are yellow for left turn and brake lights, green for right turn and brake lights, and brown for running lights. This harness also comes with fuses and relays that will need to be installed to make the harness fully functional. Place the relays into position with the sloped side of the relays pointing towards the driver side of the vehicle to ensure the relays function properly. Check the 10 amp fuse in spot 35 to determine if it is blown...

The top flatter part of the connector should be facing out toward the center of the cargo area. Reach behind the flat area that has the tab and press down to release the connector while firmly pulling the connector. This should pull right out and allow you to replace the harness with a new part. I have...

- Vehicle Will Not Start After Installing Curt T-Connector Trailer Wiring Harness # C56012It is possible that during the installation of the fuses and relays that something got knocked loose or damaged. Check the fuse panels where those items were installed and see if anything is damaged or missing. Also, make sure the relays are in the correct orientation. I have included a picture showing the relays in the correct orientation. Installation of the wiring harness, # C56012, should not cause the vehicle to not start. You can test this by completely removing the harness, 3 fuses,...

- Passenger Window Will Not Work After Installing Curt T-Connector on a 2007 Suzuki XL7If you installed a trailer wiring harness kit on your 2007 Suzuki XL7 and the passenger side window is now not working, the only thing that could have caused this is an error when installing the fuses/relay. Therefore, you will need to review this portion of the installation. If you are using the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness part # C56012, the relays will go into the #58 and #59 spots whereas the fuses will go into the #35, #37, and #43 spots. If you cannot figure out the fuse/relay...

view full answer... - Is Converter Needed When Installing Trailer Wiring Harness On 2009 Chevrolet EquinoxOn your Equinox there is a trailer wiring port in the rear cargo area inside the door that houses the jack. The wiring has already been converted so no additional converter is needed if you use this wiring port. The Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness, part # C56012 will work great for your Equinox. I have attached a link to an installation video you can check out that shows just how to access the wiring harness on your vehicle.

- Troubleshooting Right Turn Signal of Trailer Wiring Not FunctioningHave you tested the pin with the green wire leading to it with a circuit tester like part # PTW2993 to see if there is voltage there when the right blinker is on? If the right stop light is working but not the blinker on the trailer it's most likely the fault of # C56012. Typically it's a bad fuse or relay that causes this but sometimes it can be that the trailer wiring connector isn't making full contact.
view full answer... - Hitch and Wiring for my 2007 Chevrolet EquinoxThe etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver part # e98865 is the hitch I would recommend. It offers a 3500 lb weight capacity which based off what I could find is the max your Equinox can haul. I do recommend confirming that in your owner's manual though. If you'll be pulling a trailer the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness part # C56012 will give you a 4-way connector to operate the lights on it.

view full answer... - Trailer Wiring and Hitch Recommendation for a 2007 Chevrolet Equinox LTThe best way to install and use the Curt Wiring Harness part # C56012 would be to keep it stored in the jack compartment when not in use and then when needed open the jack compartment and run the 4-way out through the rear door. Running it through the floor might be possible, but it's not the recommended way for installing the harness so I cannot recommend a way for you to do that. For a hitch the Curt Class III Hitch # 13591 would be an excellent choice. It's a Class III hitch with a...

The 4-way wiring harness is designed to send a signal to the brake lights and the turn signals. The green wire is for the right turn, the yellow will control the left turn and the brown wire will be the brake lights. For the wiring harness to function properly it will need to be grounded, that is what the white wire is for.

view full answer... - Brake Controller Recommendation and Install for a 2008 Chevy EquinoxIf you are mechanically inclined at all and would rather save yourself some money you could easily install a brake controller in your 2008 Chevy Equinox.

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...

I have included some links that explain the ETBC7 installation....

Some controllers include cables that fit specific vehicles to make wiring faster and easier. There is no specific installation wire for your Suzuki XL7, but you can still use a brake controller. First you will need a brake controller. One of our most popular brake controllers is the Tekonsha Prodigy, part # 90885. It is very effective, but very simple to use. You will also need...
