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 Hyundai Sonata (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.

The Curt 56461 is a powered converter lead designed to convert vehicle taillight signals for trailer use. It interfaces with your vehicle's existing taillight wiring connectors and provides converted signals (left turn, right turn, brake, and taillight) through a 4-flat connector for trailer connection. The system includes a black converter box that mounts inside the trunk and routes power from the vehicle battery.
The Curt 56461 is designed for passenger cars with 12-volt negative ground electrical systems. The manual states it is for use on passenger cars and shows wiring locations P1 through P7 for typical passenger car taillight and bumper areas. For specific vehicle compatibility, consult the vehicle owner's manual or contact the vehicle manufacturer.
No. The manual explicitly states: 'This converter system is to be used only on 12 volt negative ground systems.' Do not install on positive ground vehicles.
The following tools are required: panel trim removal tool, cutting tool, large flathead screwdriver, wire crimper, wire stripper, and electrical tape. The manual notes that proper tools will improve the quality of installation and reduce the time required.
The kit includes: a black converter box, yellow wire connector for driver side taillight, green wire connector for passenger side taillight, white ground wire with ring terminal, black power wire, provided double-sided tape for mounting the converter box, cable ties for securing wires, a ground screw, a 4-flat dust cover, and a fuse holder with 10-amp fuse (to be installed after all other steps are complete).
Yes. Step 1 requires you to locate the vehicle's battery in the engine compartment on the driver side and disconnect the negative battery terminal. Fasten this wire down and away from the battery while completing the installation. The battery must remain disconnected until Step 9, when you reconnect the negative terminal after all wiring is complete.
The manual rates the installation difficulty as 'Easy'. However, the manual notes that installation difficulty levels are based on time and effort involved and may vary depending on the installer's level of expertise, condition of the vehicle, and proper tools and equipment.
Follow these steps in order: (1) Disconnect the negative battery terminal and secure it away from the battery. (2) Open the trunk and remove the floor covering to expose the spare tire. (3) Remove the two fasteners in the trunk threshold using a flathead screwdriver. (4) Loosen push fasteners in the trunk threshold and lift off the threaded bolt. (5) Loosen push fasteners in the side wall (two on each side) and pull back the felt liner to expose the taillight electrical harness. (6) Separate the driver side taillight connectors and insert the yellow wire connector between them. (7) Mount the black converter box inside the trunk using double-sided tape and secure the white ground wire to a grounding point. (8) Route the green wire to the passenger side and connect it to the passenger side taillight connectors. (9) Route the black power wire from the vehicle battery. (10) Reinstall all removed items and reconnect the negative battery terminal. (11) Install the 4-flat dust cover and test the system.
The converter connects to the vehicle's existing taillight wiring connectors at two locations: (1) Driver side (P3): Pull back the sidewall panels to locate the taillight wiring connectors. Separate the connectors from the taillight housing carefully without damaging the locking tabs. Insert the custom wiring end with the yellow wire between the separated connectors, ensuring they are fully inserted with locking tabs in place. (2) Passenger side (P4): Route the green wire along the back of the trunk below the threshold to the passenger side. Locate the taillight wiring connectors, separate them, and insert the custom wiring end with the green wire between them, ensuring full insertion 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 area should be clean and flat to ensure proper adhesion.
Locate a grounding point near the converter box, such as an existing screw or bolt in the vehicle frame. If no suitable point exists, drill a 3/32-inch pilot hole. The area must be free from rust, dirt, and paint—use an abrasive pad or paper to clean it. Secure the white ground wire with its ring terminal to the existing fastener or use the provided ground screw. The manual cautions to check for miscellaneous items hidden behind or under any surface before drilling to avoid damage and personal injury.
When in use, route the 4-flat connector to the center of the vehicle. When not in use, roll it up and store in a convenient, out-of-the-way location. Secure any loose wires with the provided cable ties.
Drilling may be required only if no suitable existing grounding point is available near the converter box location. If drilling is necessary, you must drill a 3/32-inch pilot hole for the ground screw. Before drilling, you must check for miscellaneous items that may be hidden behind or under any surface to avoid damage and personal injury. The area must be cleaned of rust, dirt, and paint using an abrasive pad or paper.
The converter uses the following wire colors: Yellow = Left turn signal, Green = Right turn signal, Red = Brake signal, Brown = Taillight (running lights). The yellow and green wires connect to the vehicle's taillight connectors at the driver and passenger sides respectively. The red brake wire must be grounded if the converter is used as a powered module for a two-wire system. The black power wire connects to the vehicle battery positive terminal.
Route the 12 GA (or larger) black power wire from the converter to the vehicle battery location, taking care to avoid pinch points and hot or rotating components. Connect the ring terminal of the black power wire to the vehicle battery positive (+) terminal. When passing the power wire through sheet metal, use an existing grommet, add a grommet, or use silicone to protect the wire from sharp edges. Secure the power wire to the vehicle chassis using the provided cable ties.
The battery connection must be fuse-protected with a maximum 10-amp fuse. A fuse holder with a 10-amp fuse is provided. Install the fuse after all other installation steps are complete. Exceeding the 10-amp maximum can cause loss of warranty, overheating, and potential fire.
Signal circuits (left and right turn): 3.0 amps per side. Tail/Running circuits: 6.0 amps total. Do not exceed the product rating or the tow vehicle lamp load rating, whichever is lower. Exceeding the product rating can cause loss of warranty, overheating, and potential fire.
Follow these safety precautions: (1) Disconnect the negative battery terminal before wiring the power wire and keep it secured away from the battery during installation. (2) Before drilling, check for miscellaneous items that may be hidden behind or under any surface to avoid damage and personal injury. (3) When routing the black power wire, avoid pinch points and hot or rotating components. (4) When passing the power wire through sheet metal, use an existing grommet, add a grommet, or use silicone to protect the wire from sharp edges. (5) Do not exceed the product rating (3.0 amps per signal circuit, 6.0 amps total for tail/running circuits) or the tow vehicle lamp load rating, whichever is lower. (6) Ensure the battery connection is fuse-protected with a maximum 10-amp fuse.
After connecting the 12-volt power wire to the harness, verify that the harness is functioning by attaching the battery and testing with a test light, 4-flat tester, or a functioning trailer. The manual states: 'Once 12 volt power wire is connected to the harness verify that the harness is functioning by attaching the battery and testing with a test light, 4-flat tester or a functioning trailer.'
Periodic inspection of all wires and connections should be performed to ensure there is no visible damage or loose connections. This helps maintain proper function and prevent electrical issues.
The Curt 56461 is designed for passenger cars with 12-volt negative ground electrical systems. Verify your vehicle has a negative ground system and consult your vehicle owner's manual or contact the manufacturer for specific model compatibility.
You will need: panel trim removal tool, cutting tool, large flathead screwdriver, wire crimper, wire stripper, and electrical tape.
Yes. You must disconnect the negative battery terminal before beginning installation and keep it secured away from the battery. Reconnect it only after all wiring is complete.
The battery connection must use a 10-amp maximum fuse. Install the fuse after all other steps are complete. Exceeding 10 amps can cause warranty loss, overheating, and fire.
Signal circuits: 3.0 amps per side. Tail/Running circuits: 6.0 amps total. Do not exceed these ratings or the tow vehicle lamp load rating, whichever is lower.
Verify the following: (1) Ensure the negative battery terminal is properly reconnected. (2) Check that the 10-amp fuse is installed in the fuse holder and is not blown. (3) Verify that the yellow and green wire connectors are fully inserted into the vehicle's taillight connectors with locking tabs securely in place. (4) Check that the white ground wire is properly secured to a clean grounding point free from rust, dirt, and paint. (5) Ensure the black power wire is properly connected to the vehicle battery positive terminal with a ring terminal. (6) Test the system using a test light, 4-flat tester, or functioning trailer. If the system still does not function, consult the vehicle manufacturer or a qualified technician.
The converter box is mounted using the provided double-sided tape on a flat spot inside the vehicle near the taillight. If the tape is not holding: (1) Ensure the mounting surface is clean, dry, and free from dust or debris. (2) Press the converter box firmly onto the surface for several seconds to ensure good adhesion. (3) If the tape fails to hold, consider using an alternative mounting method such as a small bracket or additional adhesive, provided it does not interfere with vehicle operation or safety.
