  • 4 Flat
  • Trailer Hitch Wiring
  • No Tow Package
  • Vehicle End Connector
  • CURT
  • Plug-In
  • Converter
  • Plug and Lead

Quickly and easily install a 4-way trailer connector on your vehicle with this custom harness. T-connector plugs directly into existing wiring - no cutting, splicing or tapping required. Converter is made using SMT to ensure superior performance.


Features:

  • Provides a 4-way flat trailer connector at the back of your vehicle to power your trailer's signal lights
    • Compatible with 5-pole, 6-pole and 7-pole adapters (sold separately)
  • Connects quickly and easily - no cutting or splicing of wires
    • Locate connection points behind tail lights
    • Plug in T-connector
  • Includes a tail light converter to ensure that your vehicle's wiring matches that of your trailer
  • Constructed using surface-mount technology (SMT) for consistent, reliable performance
    • Maximizes trailer light yield and intensity while producing minimal heat
    • Ensures superior operation in rough road conditions
  • Comes with dust cap for 4-way flat connector


Specs:

  • Maximum amperage:
    • Stop/turn lights: 3 amps per circuit
    • Tail lights: 5 amps per circuit
  • Limited 1-year warranty


Installation

This custom-fit T-connector plugs into your vehicle's wiring harness, which is located behind the driver's-side and passenger's-side tail lights. You will have to remove the tail light assemblies to access this harness.


It is recommended that you use a small amount of grease on all electrical connections - the plugs on your automobile and the 4-pole connector itself - to help prevent corrosion.


Tail Light Converter with Surface-Mount Technology

A tail light converter is built into this T-connector. Because most trailers run on a two-wire system - wherein the brake and turn signals are carried on one wire - the separate brake and turn signals from your vehicle's three-wire system need to be combined so they are compatible with the wiring system of the trailer. This converter combines the brake and turn signal functions of your automobile so that they run on one wire to properly activate your trailer's tail lights. Note: This will not affect how the tail lights on your vehicle operate.


Curt builds each tail light converter using surface-mount technology (SMT). This method of construction involves soldering electronic components directly to the surface of a printed circuit board. SMT eliminates the need for leads, which are used in older through-hole technology. The result is a circuit board that is smaller yet provides more routing area and that offers superior performance, reliability and durability.


Curt SMT Circuit Boards

Circuit boards constructed using SMT have been shown to perform better under rough conditions with excessive vibration than those made using the through-hole method. And where would vibration be more likely to occur than in towing applications? Curt converters also produce less heat, leading to increased durability and longer life. In addition, lower levels of resistance ensure better performance, especially for parts that operate at higher frequencies.


Each Curt circuit board is made using high-quality components that are pieced together in the most technologically savvy fashion, leading to greater predictability and reliability in functioning.

Ive used this connector twice in the past year, hooked right up to a rented Uhaul trailer no problem , all lights still perform and function as they should. Very happy to have the option to tow, since I dont own a truck. Etrailers has made it possible. By the way my Jeep was hit from the back smashing the back swing door in the etrailer harness was uneffected,didnt fall off from its mounting position wow Im impressed . thanks for a great product

Great products and service. I was able to order everything I needed to add a tow hitch and ball to my 2006 Jeep liberty. Very fast shipping. They even called me to verify orders and availability. Clear and easy to follow installation instructions. I hauled an U-Haul trailer from Texas to Ohio without any issues. Even bought a trailer and use it frequently for hardware stoe runs.

Just hooked up my wiring package Monday and got lucky to grab a great deal on a 5x10 trailer on Tuesday,hooked it up and everything worked great.With the very helpful video installation was a breeze, only took me about 30 minutes.I am now a very happy customer and if I need anything else trailer related I'll be sure to stop by again.Thanks guys for a great product!!



by:

Very nice set up it took about 30 minutes to do had a little trouble getting the right side of the wires up through to the Light but not to bad. With the connections there is no splicing needed I just zip tied the wires up and used a couple ties left loosely to let the trailer connecter loop through up and out of the way until needed.



by:

Followed a You Tube video and did the complete install in about an hour taking my time! I did buy some longer zip ties so I could strap the wires to the frame of the hitch but didn't have to.

2007 Jeep Liberty

It was easy to install the wiring harness on my 2007 Jeep Liberty Sport. I suggest anyone installing this to make sure the surfaces you will apply the double stick adhesive strip is clean or the box will come loose. Also, take your time figuring out exactly how the little red release button operates to unlock and separate the existing light connector from the tail light. Its really simple if you do. Otherwise, you might break it. Get a big piece of cardboard or equivalent to lay on the ground for when you route the wiring from the first tail light connection underneath the back bumper over to the other tail light. I am happy with the shipping, quality, ease of installation and operation of this vehicle wiring harness. I recommend it for anyone wanting a vehicle specific, trailer wiring harness that's easy to install.

Still working fine after one year. I recommend applying bulb grease electrical lubrication to both trailer electrical connectors to keep moisture out of the connectors. keeps them from turning green with corrosion



by:
2005 Jeep Liberty

I received the wiring kit in a very reasonable amount of time and installed it this morning in less than an hour. The ease of installation was fantastic and though I haven't used it yet my vehicle lighting seems to be working well. Plenty of good quality wire supplied, easy instructions. One note: it's suggested the battery gets disconnected ( a good idea),which I didn't remember until I was almost done but I'm wondering if pulling a couple of fuses would be easier. Regardless, leaving the electrical system connected didn't seem to be a problem. So far, I'm definitely happy. Thanks!

The wiring kit for the 2006 Jeep Liberty fit perfectly and was a breeze to install. This is my 2nd experience with these wiring kits and they are simply amazing and simply plug into existing vehicle wiring.

The instructions were clear and easy to understand, and again, the hook-up and installation could not have been easier or simpler.

Wow! Could it get any easier? Install was a breeze. Referred to the video about where to mount the converter, followed the directions, and done! I also ordered a set of aftermarket tail lights and installed them along with the harness. No problems at all. Start to finish was approximately 15 minutes. Thanks etrailer for an awesome product!

One year later, everything is working excellent. As a matter of fact, the factory wiring harness was burning out bulbs about as quick as I could change them. Since I have installed the harness from etrailer, I have not had to replace one bulb in the year Ive had it installed. It dealt with a U-Haul 4 pin, twin axle trailer for over 600 miles like a champ! Not a glitch. Still goin strong. Like I said a year ago, awesome product! Thank you etrailer.



by:
2007 Jeep Liberty

I finally got around to installing this Jeep Liberty wiring harness. I had another one installed from maybe 6 years ago and the left turn signal stopped working so I ordered a new harness since I suspected something went wrong inside the sealed box that combines the brakes and turn signals. This one installed easily and worked so I am a happy camper again.

    Hello Ronald, thanks for reaching out. It sounds like you are looking for a 7-way wiring harness for a 2005 Jeep Liberty. If so, we have just the thing. If you already have the factory tow package, you can use the Tekonsha # 20135 to replace the OEM 7-way. If you do not have the factory tow package, use the Curt T-Connector # C55382, along with the Universal Installation Kit # ETBC7. These two kits combined contain everything needed to wire the vehicle with a 7-way, including all of the...

  • Difference Between Curt and Hopkins Trailer Wiring for a 2005 Jeep Liberty
    The biggest difference will be price. The two harnesses are basically the same harness made by two different companies. The Curt part # C55382 would be what I would go with over the Hopkins # 42475 because the price is better and because we seem to have better luck with Curt wiring than Hopkins. I attached an install video for this harness for you to check out as well.

    The difference between the Curt Wiring Harness # C55382 and the Tow Ready Custom Fit Vehicle Wiring # 118524 is basically just the brand. Both of these products will install the same and will perform the same functions. I usually recommend the Curt harnesses because they use a newer style of circuitry that has proven to be more reliable. Also, you will need to run the power wire to the battery otherwise the harness would not work. The reason for the power wire is to prevent overdrawing...

  • Installing Curt C55381 4-Pole Trailer Wiring Harness on 2006 Jeep Liberty.
    Remove the bolts or screws holding the existing 7-way trailer connector to its bracket, and locate the connector plugged into the rear of the 7-way. Find the red locking tab on the connector, and slide it to the side and pull the connector away from the 7-way plug. The plugs on the # C55381 would plug inline, so plug one end into the harness you unplugged and the other into the back of the 7-way. Be sure to slide those locking tabs back into place. Then, reattach the 7-way to its bracket. The...

  • Trailer Wiring Options for a 2006 Jeep Liberty without Factory Tow Package
    There are a few different trailer wiring harnesses available for the 2006 Jeep Liberty without the factory tow package. I have included a link to them for you. I recommend either # 118524 or # C55382 because they plug in line with the tail light wiring on the vehicle. These are the harnesses that fit because the vehicle does not have the factory tow package. Models with the factory tow package are pre-wired with a trailer connector already and the wiring for it is under the vehicle.

    To power the lights on your trailer you will need to add a 4-way connection to your 2006 Jeep Liberty.

This plugs directly into existing wiring and includes a ModuLite converter which will help protect your electrical system. If you do have the factory tow package, you need the Tekonsha # 118381 instead. This will plug directly into your factory...

    Like you said there are two different trailer wiring options for your 2004 Jeep Liberty that does not have a 7-way. The Tow Ready kit part # 118524 requires a wire to run up to the positive post of the battery and the Curt # C55382 does not. The benefit to running the wire up to the battery is that it protects the tail light circuits of your vehicle. Instead of drawing the amperage required to power the trailer lights from vehicle taillights the amperage comes straight from the battery...

    The Curt trailer wiring harness part # C55382 that you referenced is a confirmed fit for your 2005 Jeep Liberty. First thing you should do at this point is test the 4-way of the wiring harness with a circuit tester part # PTW2993 for voltage on all of the right pins when the taillight signals are being applied. Just like in the video I attached. If the voltage checks out there but the trailer lights still don't function right then the problem is on the trailer wiring. That would mean...

    There are only two possible issues that could cause the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness part # C55382 which is a fit for a 2003 Jeep Liberty not to function correctly. The first is that the pins inside each of the t-connectors are not perfectly seated whether that be from the pins being bent or just not fully engaged so be sure to check that. The next is as you mentioned a bad ground. Please note, you need bare metal contact with the ground wire so be sure you have sanded some of...
