4-Way Wiring Bracket # C56026 Recommendation for a 2008 Saturn Vue  

Updated 04/20/2011 | Published 04/19/2011

Question:

Curt Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4 Pole Trailer Connector - Saturn Vue 2008 I have been a bit confused with the wiring. No problem with the installation, but when not pulling a trailer, does the connector just hang there somewhere. I see in a lot of installations there is a plug socket attached to the hitch where the trailer is plugged in, making a clean installation. Since I don't see the socket on the hitch, where does the connector reside when not in use? I hate to see it just hanging somewhere.

When not in use this Curt Custom Fit Vehicle Wiring, part # C56026, will be stored in the trunk area of your 2008 Saturn Vue. When you are pulling a trailer and need to use the 4-way you will pull it out of the trunk area with enough wire to allow you to attach it to your trailer and then close the trunk lid on the wire.

If you would rather store outside of your vehicle you would want to pull up the carpet in your trunk and look for a rubber grommet that will provide you access to the underside of your Vue. Next, you will want to cut a slit in this grommet and feet the 4-way out the slit.

Next, you could secure the 4-ways out of the way by installing a Mounting Bracket 4-Pole Flat, part # 18144. Using the included self tapping screws you would attach this to your bumper.

Now there are a couple ways to secure this bracket to your bumper. You can use the included self tapping screws to secure it. Or you could get a No-Drill Mount Bracket, part # 18140, and secure it to the hitch without having to drill into anything.

Once you install the # 18144 you would have a secure place to store the 4-way from the Vehicle Wiring Harness, part # C56026.

I included installation instructions for the # C56026 as well as a video that shows the # 18144 being installed onto a vehicle. Check out the 3:45 minute mark of the video to see the portion that shows the # 18144 being installed.
