CURT Flat Tow Wiring Harness - C96JR

  • Wiring Harness
  • Plugs into Vehicle Wiring
  • 4 Flat
  • CURT
  • Custom Fit

Plug-and-play custom harness gets turn and brake signals on your towed car with no hardwiring or splicing, and no effect on your warranty. The built-in diodes protect your car from electrical feedback.


Features:

  • Allows your RV's tail, brake, and turn signals to display on your car's tail lights
  • Plugs right into car's connection points - no cutting or splicing
    • Custom designed for your vehicle
    • No effect on your warranty
  • Prevents feedback that can damage your vehicle's electrical components with diodes
  • Provides 4-way flat plug at front of towed car
    • Requires additional harness to connect to motorhome - sold separately
  • Includes wiring harness, mounting bracket, and installation hardware


Specs:

  • Max amperage: 7.5 amps per circuit
  • Limited 1-year warranty


Notes:

  • A brake light relay (RM-88400 - sold separately) may be required if used with a flat tow brake system. (See below.)
  • A wiring converter (118158 - sold separately) and 2 additional diodes will be needed to retain separate turn and brake signals. (See below.)


Combined Lighting System vs Separate Lighting System

Combined vs Seperate Lighting System

A combined lighting system, or 2-wire system, uses the same light bulb to signal both braking and turning. (In other words, the car signals a turn by flashing the brake light.)


A separate lighting system, or 3-wire system, has the brake signal and the turn signal light up independently of each other. Typically, the turn signal is amber.


To keep the separate lighting system on your car functioning properly while you're flat towing, add a wiring converter (118158 - sold separately) and 2 additional diodes.


Do I Need a Brake Light Relay?

If the engine is off and your car's brake lights illuminate when you press the brake pedal, you need to install a brake light relay (RM-88400 - sold separately) with this kit. Without a relay, your car's brake signal will override the turn signal sent by the RV when you are slowing down to make a turn, creating a potentially dangerous situation. Other drivers will see that you're slowing down, but not that you're making a turn. With a brake light relay, you can signal both and travel safely.

Product was excellent as advertised however installation instructions could be better with clearer pictures. Routing of wiring at rear of vehicle has many options however one route gives the safest and easiest to install.

In spite of a few negative comments, this harness install on a 2025 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon Unlimited was super easy and straight forward. Fit the application well. Plenty of wire lengths and easy connections. Works well after testing, will see about longevity as time goes.

Thanks for sharing your experience with installing the harness, Dan! Do you have any upcoming travel plans or waiting for spring to come back around for the next trip?

2025 jeep wrangler,
getting feedback
from tail light and blinkers to braking system on toad vehicle while towing causing brakes on toad vehicle not to dis-engage when brakes released , had to remove harness and install a different model with better diodes to make system work

That model specific light harness is awesome. Worked great in my Wrangler JLU.
Thanks for the help.

Easy installation. Affordable and depen dable.



by:

The wiring kit is SHORT!!
It lacks 3’
in making it to the baseplate.
I was concerned when I received it and noticed the box indicated it was for a Jeep JL which is a bit shorter than a gladiator.
The fix is to splice the harness, what a horrible situation!



by:

Simple and easy purchase process. The installation of the Curt custom tail light wiring kit was almost as simple and easy as the purchase. etrailer is great!

The Curt custom tail light wiring kit is still working great!

This harness won’t function correctly on a 2024 jeep wrangler Sahara. It works for some time then starts doing really strange stuff.. says the drives rear turn signal is out and turns it off. Unplugged the aftermarket harness and all works correctly again. Contacted Curt tech support and they sent me a completely new harness, but it exhibited the exact same failure mode. Ultimately purchased the Mopar harness for about 4 times the price , but everything works correctly from the start. The curt harness needs to go back for more engineering.. Their customer service is great though??



by:

Great instruction video and installation was easy and everything worked out!



by:

Everything works perfectly. I’d buy it again. The customer service is amazing.



by:

Great purchase! Made for a very clean installation on my 2022 Gladiator Rubi. Other reviewers indicated that they ran short on wire length. Mine was close, but I had enough length from back to front by installing a very straight shot down the inside of the driver’s side frame rail.



by:
2023 Jeep Wrangler

When I received the wiring kit and had it partially installed I noticed that the 4 way flat connector had been cut off the wiring. As I said I had the kit mostly installed if not I would have sent the wiring kit back to e-trailer. The wire was not rolled and bound with wire ties as shown in the e trailers video. This kit was probably a return from a previous buyer. This caused me to splice the wires to add the connector and this was my sole reason for purchasing the kit, idid not want any spliced wires. Very dissatisfied with this product.



by:
2025 Jeep Gladiator

Two issues with the wiring harness. First, didn’t need the additional plug in for a rear light outlet. I feel that just gives it a possibility of a future issue. And Second, my main issue is this wiring harness is listed as compatible for the 2025 Gladiator. The lead wire from the tail light to the front of the vehicle for connecting to the flat tow 6 way plug is about 3 feet too short. It only follows the frame to the point of the wiper reserve. Then you are out of wire. It doesn’t reach the front bumper to connect to the 6 way plug. Very disappointed I had to another section of 4 way wires to complete the job.



by:
jeep Wrangler

Worked great with my 2020 jeep wrangler rubicon.



by:

Would have paid more for better quality. Shielded cable would have been a better choice to run from the taillights to the front. Would have appreciated an extra 4’ of cable instead of the 3’ add on. Overall it works as listed.



by:
2019 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited

Super easy installation. This is the third vehicle I have wired for towing and this was by far the simplest.

This wiring harness is still going strong! I haven’t had any issues with my lights not working while towing or the vehicle lights when not towing.



by:
2022 Jeep Gladiator

I have a JT I felt it was a little short on cable length since the JT is 2 ft longer the four door jeeps
Maybe they should have made it long enough for the JT and have extra slack for the four door jeeps
It works but I will need to extend to cable to get closer to the tow bar connection

Sincerely

Steve

It has been working just fine. We have towed our Jeep many miles over the past year - probably close to 10,000 miles without a single problem.

Very easy to install. The wire ran straight through the box frame from back to front, making it truly plug-and-play

  • How to Run a Charge Line to a 4-Way Connector
    Yes, it will! You'll want to cut off the 4-way connector of the Curt Custom Tail Light Wiring Kit for Towed Vehicles item # C96JR and install the 6-way connector that comes with the Curt Tow Bar 7-Way to 6-Way Coiled Adapter Cord w/ 6-Way Socket item # C59HR. With the 6-way installed you can use the included cord to connect it with the 7-Way on your RV. The center pin on the 6-way is wired for 12V power so this is where you'll want to connect your RVi Brake towed battery charger. I have...

  • Blue Ox Parts Needed to Flat Tow 2022 Jeep Gladiator Rubicon
    Hey Mark, so the correct Blue Ox base plate kit to use with the Blue Ox Ascent tow bar part # BX4375. is the part # BLU53FR. For lighting you can use # C96JR, and not have to worry about cutting into the taillight housing as this plugs inline with the taillight connectors. Then for the braking system the Air Force One part # SM99243 would be what you would want and you'd be set.

  • Is The Curt C96JR Tail Light Kit Compatible With A Brake Buddy Brake System?
    Hello John. The # C96JR tail light kit for the 2023 Jeep Gladiator will indeed work with a Brake Buddy brake System Such as part # HM39524. So, if you plan to use a portable brake system, that is definitely what I recommend, and you do not need to get something else.

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow 2025 Jeep Wrangler Sport
    Hey Dellos, the Blue Ox base plate and tow bars are in my opinion the easiest to use and are also very well made so I would recommend the Blue Ox part # BX1139 with the tow bar part # BX7420. Then for lighting the Curt kit part # C96JR is a very simple install so that would be a great choice as well. And finally, most states now require supplemental braking in the vehicle being flat towed. The easiest system to set up and use is the Blue Ox Patriot # BLU37TR, that applies the vehicle...

    Hey Jim. The Curt Custom Tail Light Wiring Kit for Towed Vehicles item # C96JR is indeed compatible with the LED lights on your 2025 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited. It plugs into your factory wiring harness behind the tail lights. The only issue would be if your Jeep has the ParkSense proximity sensors. If your Jeep has the ParkSense feature you'll need the Roadmaster Smart Diode Kit for Variable Voltage LED Tail Lights item # RM47ZR. It looks like you've purchased a few flat tow accessories...

  • Best Way To Add 4-Flat And 7-Way To 2021 Jeep Wrangler Sahara With Curt C96JR Flat Tow Harness
    Hello Garry, thanks for reaching out. The plug your are referring to on the Curt # C96JR is actually an accessory port for plugging in a 4-flat trailer harness. The weird part is, Curt stopped offering the 4-flat accessory plug while leaving the design of the flat tow harness the same. So the accessory port is still there, but the plug you would need to go with it is not available. That said, you can still add a 4-flat and 7-way combo to your Wrangler.

  • Blue Ox Base Plate Kit that Fits 2024 Jeep Gladiator Rubicon with Plastic Bumpers
    Hey Greg, since you have a Blue Ox tow bar the correct base plate kit would be the Blue Ox part # BLU53FR. Since you said you wanted an EZ wiring lighting kit the Curt wiring harness part # C96JR would be what you want as this does not require any splicing into the vehicle wiring. Then for a Blue Ox braking kit we have the Patriot part # BLU37TR. How do you like the Blue Ox tow bar that you have?

    Hey Gene, the winner in my opinion is the Curt tow bar wiring kit part # C96JR for your 2022 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited. It has the simplest design without a converter box so there's one less thing to potentially fail. The Hopkins part # HM39VR would be my second pick because it is priced the best and the Blue Ox # BLU79FR would be last because it uses same components as the Hopkins while costing the most. I don't generally love any of the converter boxes or electronics that Hopkins offers...

  • No Splice Tow Bar Lighting Recommendation for 2025 Jeep Wrangler Sport
    Hey Tracy, for your 2025 Jeep Wrangler we have the Curt tow bar wiring kit part # C96JR as a fit that does not require any splicing. This installs easily by plugging inline with the vehicle taillights. Since it uses a 4-way connector and you have a 6-way you'd need the adapter part # RM59DQ and you'd be set with a no-splice tow bar wiring solution.

  • Recommended Flat Tow Wiring Harness for a 2025 Jeep Gladiator
    Hey Fred, welcome back. There is no flat towing wiring harness with built in diodes that doesn't require splicing into your Gladiator's lights. You will definitely need the diodes regardless of what flat tow braking system you're using. The diodes separate your turn and brake signals so the individual functions work correctly while connected to your RV. They also prevent feedback. I have two options for wiring harnesses that I recommend for your 2025 Jeep Gladiator. They come with the...

  • Is There Tow Bar Lighting and Trailer Wiring Solution for 2015 Jeep Wrangler Sport S
    Hey Teo, we have a solution for you but we don't have any harnesses that work as both a tow bar lighting kit and a trailer wiring kit. So what you'd want is the Curt part # C96JR for the tow bar lighting and then for the trailer wiring you'd want the part # 118786. Essentially you'd plug both kits into each and then install them inline with the taillight harness connectors.

  • Is the Curt Custom Tail Light Wiring Kit C96JR Supposed to Operate Side Marker Lights?
    Hey Jon, welcome back. I would say it is indeed working normally. The Curt Custom Tail Light Wiring Kit item # C96JR is only designed to display the functions of your RV's tail, brake, and turn signals on your 2025 Jeep Wrangler. If it's doing that then it is working correctly. Those side marker lights must be on a different circuit. What kind of motorhome do you have?

    Hey Dianne! I'm glad you came back and clarified because I just read your first submission and I really wasn't sure what the question was. The 2019 is in fact the JL, which started production in 2017. I'm assuming you were looking at the Roadmaster # RM-154 and the Curt # C96JR. The Roadmaster looks different and has the separate diodes because it is a universal kit. The Curt is custom for your vehicle so it will be the easiest installation, completely plug and play, with no additional...

    Hey Jon, This issue does not happen in every vehicle, but in some it does. Basically the vehicle is overriding the motorhomes signals.

  • Hopkins vs. Curt Flat Tow Wiring Harness For 2024 Jeep Wrangler
    Hi J, Honestly the Curt Custom Tail Light Wiring Kit for Towed Vehicles # C96JR and Hopkins Custom Tail Light Wiring Kit for Towed Vehicles # HM39VR for your 2024 Jeep Wrangler are the same thing. They are both plug-in so you don't have to cut any wires, and the only difference really is the manufacturer (who charge different prices and thus the price difference). Since you were satisfied with Hopkins previously, and they are known to be reliable, I'd go with the # HM39VR.

These all use the same style factory connectors so they will plug in line of each other.

Another potential part you may need is a high low adapter, but you will want to get the base plate installed first to see if you need one or not.
