CURT 55361 Vehicle-Side Custom 4-Pin Trailer Wiring Harness
Manufactured by: Curt
If your vehicle is not equipped with wiring for towing a trailer, CURT custom wiring is the ideal solution A custom wiring harness -- also called a T-connector -- is a simple, plug-and-play electrical device that plugs into your automotive electric system and provides a standard, universal trailer wiring connection This is done using two or more vehicle-specific, OEM-compatible connectors to plug into the taillight assembly, eliminating the need for cutting, splicing and soldering during installation.
Custom wiring harnesses are made vehicle-specific, and while they are not available for all vehicles, they do offer one of the fastest, easiest and most secure ways to wire a vehicle for towing This particular plug-in harness provides a 4-way flat connector socket and is designed to be a custom wiring harness to fit certain years of the Nissan Pathfinder, Nissan Altima sedan and Infiniti QX4 (to verify your vehicle compatibility, see application info) It comes with all necessary wiring components to establish a reliable trailer wiring connection, as well as a dust cover to keep the connector clean when not in use.
