Troubleshooting Installation of Curt Wiring Harness on 2009 Subaru Outback
Updated 02/03/2026 | Published 07/02/2024
Question:
I have a 2009 Subaru outback. The location of the trailer wiring port was further back than in the installation video, and the plug only had 4 flat connectors. It didnt seem to fit with the connector on this part. Am I doing something wrong, or did I get the wrong part?

Hi Tom; I'm guessing you're watching the video for the # C55370 installation on the 2000 Outback. I attached a different installation video below for a 2009 from the # 118461 which shows the correct location. The plug will be on the driver side with blue tape on it.

Hey Tom, did the T-One wiring harness end up fitting your 2009 Outback once you found the plug on the driver side? Knowing how it worked out could help others sorting through the same wiring difference.
