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 Impala (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, Curt part 56116 is designed for the Chevrolet Impala. The manual does not specify which model years are supported, so contact Curt Manufacturing or your retailer to confirm your vehicle's year is compatible.
The manual does not specify whether the battery must be disconnected. For safety, consult the vehicle's owner manual or contact Curt Manufacturing before beginning installation.
The manual mentions that an eyelet and screw are provided for grounding, and cable ties are included to secure loose wires. A drill with a 3/32" bit is needed only if you must create a new grounding point (drilling is optional if an existing screw with nut is available in the vehicle's frame). Basic hand tools for removing and reinstalling wing nuts and panels are required.
The kit includes a T-connector with yellow and green wire ends, a white ground wire with eyelet, a screw for grounding, cable ties, and a 4-flat connector. The manual does not list all components in detail, so verify the contents match your kit upon receipt.
Open the trunk and remove the rear scuff panel by pulling up. On both sides of the trunk, remove two plastic wing nuts and pull back the felt trunk liner behind the taillights to reveal two plastic wing nuts holding each taillight in place. Pull out the taillight to locate the vehicle's taillight wiring harness.
The manual does not explain the function of the yellow and green wires. The yellow wire end connects to the driver's side taillight connector, and the green wire end connects to the passenger's side taillight connector. For details on what signals or functions these wires carry, contact Curt Manufacturing.
Separate the vehicle's taillight wiring connectors carefully, taking care not to damage the locking tabs. Route the T-connector end with the yellow wire (driver's side) or green wire (passenger's side) up through the opening under the taillight. Insert the T-connector end between the separated connectors. Make sure the connectors are fully inserted with locking tabs in place.
Locate a suitable grounding point near the connector, such as an existing screw with nut in the vehicle's frame. If no suitable point exists, drill a 3/32" hole and secure the white ground wire using the eyelet and screw provided. Before drilling, verify that no miscellaneous items are hidden behind or under the surface to avoid damage and personal injury.
Secure the 4-flat connector to the center of the vehicle in a convenient, out-of-the-way location. The manual does not specify exact mounting coordinates or fastening method, so choose a location that is accessible and does not interfere with vehicle operation or occupant safety.
Use the cable ties provided in the kit to secure any loose wires. Route wires away from moving parts, heat sources, and sharp edges.
Yes. You must remove the taillights to access the vehicle's taillight wiring harness and insert the T-connector between the separated connectors. After connecting the T-connector, reinstall the taillights and secure them with the wing nuts.
Drilling is not required if a suitable existing grounding point (such as a screw with nut in the vehicle's frame) is available near the connector. If no suitable point exists, you may drill a 3/32" hole to secure the white ground wire using the eyelet and screw provided. Before drilling, verify that no miscellaneous items are hidden behind or under the surface to avoid damage and personal injury.
If you need to create a new grounding point, drill a 3/32" hole. Secure the white ground wire using the eyelet and screw provided in the kit.
Before drilling, verify that miscellaneous items (such as wiring, fuel lines, or other components) are not hidden behind or under any surface. Drilling into hidden items can cause damage to the vehicle and personal injury.
The manual warns to take care not to damage the locking tabs when separating the connectors, but does not provide repair instructions. If the locking tabs are damaged, the connectors may not stay fully inserted. Contact Curt Manufacturing or a dealer for replacement connector assemblies.
