CURT custom wiring connectors are the easiest way to outfit your vehicle with a CURT trailer wiring connection. They are built with some of the most advanced technology in the industry, and each one is custom-fitted to work with a specific make and model. Some automotive manufacturers install a special socket on the vehicle to be used for vehicle-to-trailer wiring. Although this special socket is not equipped on every vehicle, a CURT custom wiring connector -- also called a T-connector -- utilizes the socket for simple, stress-free installation. Rather than requiring you to cut, splice and solder into your vehicle's wiring system, the custom wiring connector uses a single OEM-compatible plug and instantly provides a standard, universal vehicle-to-trailer wiring connection, typically in the form a 4-way flat. All CURT custom wiring connectors are made vehicle-specific for the easiest possible installation and the best fit. This particular plug-in connector provides a 4-way flat socket and is designed to be a custom wiring option for certain years of the Ford Escape (factory tow package required; to verify your vehicle compatibility, see application info). It comes with all necessary hardware to establish a solid connection. It also comes with a dust cover to keep the connector socket clean when not in use. To ensure long-lasting reliability, all CURT custom wiring connectors are thoroughly tested for optimal functionality. Stress is the last thing you should feel when towing a trailer -- whether you're hauling your RV to that favorite camping destination, your ATVs up to the hunting grounds or your fishing boat to the new hidden hotspot. At CURT, we think your towing equipment should add to the enjoyment of your experience, not detract from it.

The Curt 56503 is designed for SUVs and Vans (S-series vehicles). The manual does not list specific vehicle makes, models, or years. Verify compatibility with your vehicle before purchase by checking the product listing or contacting Curt Manufacturing directly with your vehicle's year, make, and model.
The Curt 56503 is a wiring location guide and replacement harness for SUVs and vans. It replaces the factory 4-flat harness with a custom wiring replacement harness to enable proper trailer lighting function. The product includes guidance on seven possible wiring locations (S1–S10) where connections may be made depending on your vehicle.
The factory 4-flat harness is located under the vehicle on the driver side between the rear tire and the rear bumper. This is where you will begin the installation by carefully disconnecting the harness in Step 1.
Installation has two main steps: (1) Locate the factory 4-flat harness under the vehicle on the driver side between the rear tire and the rear bumper, and carefully disconnect it. (2) Remove the old harness and 4-flat connector, then reinstall the custom wiring replacement harness. After installation, test for proper function using a test light or by connecting a properly wired trailer.
Do not lay tools across the positive terminal (typically marked with red covers or a red '+' symbol). This can cause a ground short, resulting in sparks and/or electrical shocks. Additionally, do not exceed the product rating or tow vehicle lamp load rating, whichever is lower.
Test for proper function by using a test light or by connecting a properly wired trailer. This confirms that the wiring replacement harness is functioning correctly before towing.
Perform periodic inspection of all wires and connections to ensure there is no visible damage or loose connections. The manual does not specify the inspection interval; consult the manufacturer for recommended maintenance schedules.
The manual identifies ten possible wiring locations (S1–S10) for SUVs and vans: S1 behind driver side taillight housing, S2 behind passenger side taillight housing, S3 behind driver side rear access panel, S4 behind passenger side rear access panel, S5 behind driver side rear bumper, S6 behind center of rear bumper, S7 behind passenger side rear bumper, S8 under rear floor panel, S9 behind driver side rear access panel, and S10 behind passenger side rear access panel. Your specific vehicle will use one of these locations.
The Curt 56503 is designed for SUVs and vans. Verify your specific vehicle make, model, and year against the product listing or contact Curt Manufacturing before purchase.
The manual rates installation difficulty as 'Easy' but does not specify an installation time. Actual time depends on installer expertise, vehicle condition, and tool availability.
Do not lay tools across the positive terminal (red covers or '+' symbol) as this can cause sparks and electrical shocks. Do not exceed the product rating or tow vehicle lamp load rating.
Perform periodic inspection of all wires and connections to check for visible damage or loose connections.
