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 Toyota RAV4 (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.

You must remove the rear hatch scuff panel, floor coverings, storage covers, and privacy screen. On both sides of the vehicle, remove all trim fasteners and slightly pull out the rear trim panels to access the taillight wiring harness and create a routing path for the connectors.
Locate the vehicle's taillight wiring harness on the passenger side. The harness will have connectors similar to those on the T-connector. Insert the T-connector end with the green wire between the separated connectors. Ensure the connectors are fully inserted with locking tabs in place. Repeat the same process on the driver's side using the T-connector end with the yellow wire.
Route the T-connector end with the green wire on the passenger side. Route the T-connector end with the yellow wire out from behind the passenger side trim panel, along the removed scuff panel, and behind the passenger's side trim panel. Repeat on the driver's side. Route the 4-flat wire to the center of the vehicle and out the hatch when in use.
When not in use, roll up the 4-flat wire and store it in an out-of-the-way location in the rear cargo area of the RAV-4.
Before drilling or removing any surfaces, verify that miscellaneous items are not hidden behind or under any surface. This prevents damage to hidden components and personal injury.
