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. Once you've plugged in the T-connector, run the hot lead up to your car battery. Connect the lead to the included fuse holder, and then connect the fuse holder to the positive terminal on your battery.
Route the 4-flat to the center of the vehicle. Secure the 4-flat to the center of the vehicle in a convenient,out of the way location or the rear hitch. Use the provided cable ties to secure any loose wires.
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.
Powered Tail Light Converter with Surface-Mount Technology
A tail light converter is built into this T-connector. This converter is a circuit-protected, battery-powered unit that bypasses the electrical routes that are used by a basic wiring harness. As a result, there is virtually no draw on your tail light circuits.
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.
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.

Hitch and T-Connector arrived in a few days. Fit was great and install was very easy. It is a very heavy-duty piece. The T-connector for the wiring makes it really easy to connect to brake lights. Plug and play.

Pretty easy to install. I would recommend, if you have to drop muffler to install your hitch, install your wiring BEFORE reattaching the muffler. Also the directions stated to fish the wires UP through the bumper to the tail light. My arm is not thin or long enough for this. I dropped a ratchet strap down through the bumper, hooked it to the wire and pulled it up. Super easy. The power wire I ran under the wheel wells behind the plastics. Same with the undercarriage. Removed some bolts for the plastics and tucked the wire. I mounted the connector to the hitch with a cheap zip tie bracket I also bought from this site.

Only thing I would suggest is including more butt connectors and zip ties in the kit. It's nickel and dime stuff and you can easily mess up a butt connector and have to go purchase another. Cost is minimal, and the time to go to a local store for extras is a pain. But overall, great product.

This fit exactly as expected. I did run the wires a bit different then they expected. I have the module inside instead of out side. But everything works great

Ask the Experts about this CURT Custom Fit Vehicle Wiring
- Is Power Wire to Battery Needed to Install Wiring Harness on 2019 Jeep CherokeeWhen installing the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # C56406 on a 2019 Jeep Cherokee you will need to route the power wire to the battery of your Jeep. That is how the converter gets power, as opposed to the taillights; the converter is also what protects your vehicle's wiring. I have added a link to a help article on routing a power wire which I recommend taking a look at.

- Custom 4-Pole Wiring Harness for 2020 Jeep CherokeeThe Curt 4-pole wiring harness # C56406 and the similar Tekonsha # 118779 will work great on a 2020 Jeep Cherokee without the factory tow package being present. I recommend the Tekonsha kit because in our experience their wiring products are the most reliable. Both of these custom-fit kits plug in to the wiring at the tail lights and they will give you a 4-way flat trailer connector. These harnesses feature a powered tail light converter that will protect the vehicle's internal wiring from...
view full answer... - Finding Someone to Install Curt Class III Hitch on 2019 Jeep CherokeeThe best way to find someone to install the Curt hitch part # C13395 on your 2019 Jeep Cherokee will be to find a local mechanic in your area with a solid reputation and let them do it. This is listed as taking a little less than an hour for an average Joe to do so a mechanic could probably knock it out in about 30 minutes. They might have a one hour minimum for install time so you'd want to determine that. I attached an install video for this for you to check out as well.

- Best 4-Pole Wiring Harness for my 2020 Jeep Cherokee?There are two four pole trailer wiring options for the 2020 Jeep Cherokee. I prefer the Tekonsha # 118779 over the Curt T-connector # C56406, The Tekonsha's module is much smaller and is easier to mount and hide in the undercarriage of the vehicle. Since your vehicle didn't come from the factory with wiring, it probably didn't come with a hitch either. I recommend # C13395. This hitch is concealed behind your bumper cover and only the receiver tube is visible from behind the vehicle....
view full answer... - Curt Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2019 Jeep Cherokee LimitedI checked with Curt and their hitch part # C13395 is a confirmed fit for your 2019 Jeep Cherokee Limited model. The hands free liftgate will only be slightly affected. You'd just have to kick to either side of the hitch opening to operate it. For trailer wiring you'd then want the part # C56406. If you wanted to do some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise...

An installation video showing a 2017 Cherokee is linked for you, along with the written instructions. I checked directly with Curt to confirm this fit. If you also need a 4-pole wiring harness top power trailer lights the correct it is # 118779.

You need to add a 7-way connector that will work with electric trailer brakes. I recommend adding the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # C56406 for a plug and play installation on your vehicle, and then adding the etrailer...
view full answer... - Trailer Hitch and Wiring Harness for 2020 Jeep CherokeeThe etrailer brand # e73ZR class III hitch is indeed a confirmed fit for your 2020 Jeep Cherokee.

I've linked to installation instructions and an install video for the trailer wiring harness you purchased.
view full answer... - Parts Needed to Install Brake Controller in 2019 Jeep Cherokee without Factory Tow PackageSounds like your 2019 Jeep Cherokee does not have the tow package wiring for a brake controller to install as not all of the Cherokees came equipped with it. If it was present you would have seen the port under the dash where you checked. You will need to start with a 4-way (if you do not have one). For that you would want the # C56406 which is a custom fit for your Cherokee. From there you would need to convert the 4-way to a 7-way so that you can install the brake controller. For that...

If your trailer doesn't have a 4-wire plug connection and instead has a 7-way then you would need to use an adapter like the Curt Trailer Connector Adapter - 7-Way RV Style to 4-Way Flat # C57271. This will allow your braking and turning signals to run to your...

view full answer... - Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver for 2019 Jeep Cherokee LatitudeFor your 2019 Jeep Cherokee Latitude I recommend the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e73ZR. This is a custom-fit, Class III hitch with a 2" receiver and a concealed cross tube. It has a maximum gross trailer weight of 4,500 lbs and tongue weight of 675 lbs. What sets this hitch apart from others is the matte black powder coat finish. This has more of an OEM look while doing a better job of hiding dirt and scratches when compared to a glossy finish. If you plan on doing some towing you...
view full answer... - Recommended Trailer Hitch for a 2020 Jeep CherokeeThe trailer hitch I recommend for a 2020 Jeep Cherokee is the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C13395. The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver is a bolt-on fit that will not require any permanent modifications to the vehicle. The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver also has a hidden design so only the required receiver tube portion will be shown once installed therefore you don't take anything away from the overall appearance of the vehicle. Please note, the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver is easy to install...
