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 Chevy Venture, Pontiac Trans Sport, Pontiac Montana and Oldsmobile Silhouette (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. You have a picture in mind of your next destination -- maybe it's the boat landing at your favorite fishing spot, maybe it's a campsite that overlooks one of nature's masterpieces, or maybe it's the next big jobsite. However, turning that picture into a reality takes more than just daydreaming. It takes a solid connection and the right amount of power. CURT custom wiring is made with some of the most sophisticated technology in the industry and is designed to install with ease, giving you a long-lasting electrical connection for your towing hitch setup.

Yes, the Curt 55355 custom wiring harness is designed for Chevrolet Venture vans. It is also compatible with Oldsmobile Silhouette, Pontiac Montana (2007–2009 Canada only), and Pontiac Trans Sport van models. Confirm your specific model year matches one of these applications before purchasing.
No. The Curt 55355 is compatible with Pontiac Montana only for 2007–2009 models sold in Canada. US-market Montana models are not listed as compatible applications.
The Curt 55355 has two amperage ratings: Signal Circuits are rated at 3.0 amps per side, and Tail/Running Circuits are rated at 5.0 amps total. Do not exceed these ratings or your vehicle's tow lamp load rating, whichever is lower, as exceeding the rating can cause loss of warranty, overheating, and potential fire.
You will need a Phillips screwdriver, a flat blade screwdriver, and a panel trim removal tool. A 3/32" drill bit is also required if you need to drill a pilot hole for the ground wire screw, depending on whether a suitable existing screw with nut is available in the vehicle frame.
The manual does not specify whether the battery must be disconnected. Contact the vehicle manufacturer or Curt Manufacturing for guidance on this step.
Open the vehicle tailgate and remove the driver side storage compartment door. Remove the four plastic trim fasteners securing the storage compartment panel. Pull back on the side trim panel to locate the vehicle taillight wiring harness connectors. The connectors will be similar in appearance to those on the custom wiring harness.
If the connectors are already connected to the taillight housing, carefully separate them. Take care not to damage the locking tabs during separation. Once separated, insert the custom wiring harness end between the connectors and ensure both connectors are fully inserted with locking tabs in place.
Locate a flat spot inside the vehicle near the taillight and adhere the black converter box using the provided double-sided tape. The manual does not specify alternative mounting locations if this spot is unavailable; contact Curt Manufacturing if you cannot access this area.
Only if necessary. First, locate a suitable grounding point near the connector, such as an existing screw with nut in the vehicle frame. If no existing screw is available, drill a 3/32" pilot hole. Before drilling, check for miscellaneous items that may be hidden behind or under any surface to avoid damage and personal injury. The area should be free of rust, dirt, and paint.
Secure the white ground wire using the ring terminal and provided screw. Attach it to a suitable grounding point near the connector, such as an existing screw with nut in the vehicle frame, or to a 3/32" pilot hole you have drilled. Ensure the grounding area is free of rust, dirt, and paint.
Route the 4-flat connector to the center of the vehicle and out of the trunk when in use. When not in use, roll it up and store it in a convenient, out-of-the-way location inside the trunk. Secure any loose wires with the provided cable ties.
Reinstall all items removed during installation. Install the provided 4-flat dust cover to help prevent corrosion. Test for proper function by using a test light or connecting a properly wired trailer.
Test for proper function by using a test light or connecting a properly wired trailer. The manual does not provide detailed testing procedures; refer to the test light manufacturer's instructions or trailer wiring documentation for specific steps.
Exceeding the product rating (Signal Circuits 3.0 amps per side, Tail/Running Circuits 5.0 amps total) or your vehicle's tow lamp load rating, whichever is lower, can cause loss of warranty, overheating, and potential fire. Do not exceed these limits under any circumstances.
The manual does not specify the weatherproofing rating of the 4-flat connector. It recommends installing the provided dust cover to help prevent corrosion. Contact Curt Manufacturing for detailed environmental protection specifications.
