On this 2008 Honda Civic we're going to review and install a Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector Part Number C56051. With this part number these are the parts you receive. Of course this is a our whole wire harness right here. This is our 4-Pole Flat Connector, with the cap. Our long length of 4-Pole wire goes to our converter box right here. It has a couple of T-Connectors. This green wire T-Connector goes to the passenger side.

The T-Connector, the yellow wire, goes to the drivers side. Also on the drivers side the T-Connector will pick up the break signal, and a running lights signal, with this T-Connector here. Bring terminal on the white wire to go to ground from the sheet metal on the vehicle. How this works, pretty simple. It basically takes the signals from the tail lights, goes into the converter box here. Got five wires going in, combines the break signal with the left and right turn signal and goes out to your trailer.

Some small parts, with an adhesive, part of our service mount technology that holds it in place; also some zip ties to help hold the wires and a self tacking screw for your ground wire. Now our wire harness is ready for three amps per circuit for stop and turn signals, which is equivalent to two tail lights in the back of your trailer. One for turn signal and breaks on each side and then a tail light circuit itself is ready for five amps. Which is good for the two running lights that are built into the tail lights and also a couple of running lights on the side of your trailer. Let's go ahead and install it into our vehicle. All our parts install inside the trunk area. Let's go ahead and open up the trunk and get access to the wires that are behind tail lights.

We need to raise up the floor covering; make it a little easier to remove a threshold and the side panels. I'm just going to use a simple strap, a piece of string or anything can be used just to help hold this up and out of the way for us. To remove a threshold we apply steady pressure from the bottom and pull straight up. Next we need to loosen up the liner here. There'll be three fasteners we have to remove, I think all plastic. We use a flat blade screw driver on the center to loosen them up.

We'll loosen up the centers and pull out the whole rivet. Now with complete access to our wiring connections right here we'll go ahead and complete the same process over on our passenger side. Now our vehicles ready to install our wire harness. We'll go ahead and do one circuit at a time. Remember our T-Connector for the yellow wire is a left turn signal. We actually turn it on then it'll be easy to identify when you see it glow. To disassemble it we push down on this little tab right here and pull it apart. Let's take our T-Connector, take the matching end to it, push it together until it snaps or clicks. Our other end will go right into the tail light. We'll do the same trick by turning on the running lights. That shows us our connection point will be right here. The little buttons kind of on the outside. Next connection we'll work with will be our white wire with the ring terminal. There's actually a factory ground by the threshold that we can use. We'll pull back the white wire and we'll attach it to the stud right here. We'll need a 10mm socket. Now let's go ahead and go over to our passenger side and we'll go ahead and install our T-Connector here. It's going to be in the same place as before. We'll then find a location to attach our module. We'll go ahead and clean off some sheet metal, and our converter box, with some rubbing alcohol and water mix, fifty-fifty. Take our adhesive, put it to our converter box. Now we'll take a few moments to zip tie our wires up. With everything hooked up and secure we'll go ahead and put our panels back into place, then we'll reinstall the plastic fasteners. We can go ahead and put our threshold back into place. Make sure this guy goes into a hole on the inside. Line it up, push it into place. Make sure the seal goes over the top of it and we'll be about finished. We can put our floor covering back into place. When our wire harness is not being used we'll keep it with the spare tire. When we do need to use it we'll simply pull it out, we'll bring it over the threshold and our door seals plenty thick where it won't hurt anything when we shut the hatch on it. We have more than enough to go down to our
