Today we're going to review part number C56170. This is the CURT t-connector vehicle wiring wiring harness for the factory tow package. It comes with the 4-way flat trailer connector. Now this is a custom fit part number. It is designed to fit the Honda Pilots with the factory tow package starting in 2012. What I would recommend on a custom fit part is to go to our website, use our fit guide. Put in your year and model vehicle and it will show you if it's part will work for your application. This part does include everything shown here. Includes the two wiring harnesses. Includes some zip ties or cable ties to take up any excess wire. Double face tape for attaching the converter down. Two fuses: a 10-amp fuse and a 30-amp fuse that needs to be installed. A dust cover for the 4-way. And a nice set of detailed instructions with pictures of the location points. Now this will provide a 4-way flat trailer connector at the back of your vehicle to power your trailer's signal lights. Again, this part is designed for use on vehicles with the factory tow package. It does connect quickly and easily. There's no cutting or splicing of wires. Basically they're just all plug-ins. Right here the tow harness plug-in, this will go into the connect point that's usually behind the rear bumper on the vehicle. This converter harness right here, this will usually plug into a connection point in the rear cargo area. Now on this one it has a powered module which connects directly to your battery to avoid overloading your vehicle's electrical system. It is constructed using the SMT technology, which is surface-mount technology. Gives you consistent, reliable performance. It will maximize your trailer light yield and intensity while producing minimal heat. It also ensures superior operation in rough road conditions. Now the dust cap that's included, just put that onto the 4-way. Then wiring harness you're not using your 4-way what you would do is just cover the terminals with the dust cap. That will protect them from getting damaged or from the elements getting to them. Now this part is made in the USA. A few specs on it: The maximum amperage on the stop and turn light circuit is three amps per circuit, and on the taillight circuit it's five amps per circuit. Wiring harness we go to install this, like I say, they have a good set of instructions. Basically what you would want to do, start with the two harness and what you'll do is go behind the rear bumper and you'll see a gray plug that will have a cap on it. What you'll want to do on the vehicle is remove that cap and this plug should match up. Plug it in and then this would run to the back of the vehicle so you have your 4-way. Again, if any of this wire loom hangs down you can take some of these cable ties to pull up the slack of it. Now this other harness, which is the converter module harness, what this is, you'll go to the rear cargo area and in the rear cargo what you'll have to do is access a interior access panel. When you remove that then you'll see the white connector that this will plug into. It matches up. Plug that into that. Then you'll see you'll have this inline fuse holder that's empty. Take this 10-amp fuse. You'll go ahead and push it in. Put the cap on there to protect that. Then what you'll want to do is you'll want to attach this conveter module down so it doesn't bounce around. That's what the double face tape is for. Just put that on there and then attach this down. Then with all that connected the last thing you'll want to do is go to your fuse box in the front of the vehicle and you'll look in your owner's manual and see where the location is for this towing fuse. It's a 30-amp fuse that plugs into the fuse box. Once that's plugged in should be already to go. Should be able to tow your trailer with the 4-way connector. That should do it for the review on part number C56170. This is the CURT t-connector vehicle wiring harness for factory two package with the 4-way flat trailer connector. .
