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.
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.

After one year I couldn’t be happier. This fit my 2006 Jeep Liberty perfectly. And the video made it a snap to install. I tow my boat and everything works flawlessly.

2006 Jeep Liberty
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.

Helen was very helpful with my order.Especially dealing with someone who is not mechanically inclined.When it comes to ours, but she was very helpful and knowledgeable.And help me pick the right part.Shipping was excellent all around great company.At what high they recommend you.

by: Jim R10/11/2014
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: Brian 04/29/2024
Installed easily and fit perfectly
by: Mike B.10/14/2014
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.

It was easy to put on the jeep, the sticky tape was not good for attaching the converter. I used a zip tie to attach to a point on the vehicle.

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

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!

Great! I just finished moving and needed to rent a trailer several times. The wiring harness is still working perfectly and the insulation intact.

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.
Thank you etrailer.com Ray S. Eckert, Colorado

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.

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.

2005 Jeep Liberty trailer wiring harness was quick and easy to install. It took about 20 mins. start to finish and only required a few tools from my toolbox. I highly recommend this product to anyone who owns a 2005 Jeep Liberty. The online video was so nice, it helped tremendously on the install!.

- Recommended Trailer Wiring Harness for a 2006 Jeep Liberty without Factory Tow PackageFor your 2006 Jeep Liberty that does not have the factory tow package you can use trailer wiring harness # C55382 or # 118524. Both install the same way. I have linked a video to the right showing installation for you.
view full answer... - After Dealer Replaced Trailer Hitch on 2006 Jeep Liberty it Started Blowing FusesTo determine if it is the wiring harness on your 2006 Jeep Liberty that is causing the problem you can perform some tests. Basically you would use a circuit tester such as # PTW2993 and test the wires going into the wiring harness converter box and the wiring coming out of the box. It helps to have someone in the vehicle to operate the lighting functions while you test the wires. If the converter box is not receiving the correct signals going into it from the vehicle then there is some...
view full answer... - Trailer Wiring Recommendation for a 2004 Jeep LibertyThe 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...
view full answer... - Recommended Ball Mount for 2004 Jeep Liberty with Spare TireI have a great solution for you. To bridge the necessary gap in order to clear your Jeep's spare tire, I recommend using the Brophy Ball Mount # BM20. This is designed specifically for situations such as yours and has a length of 13-1/4 inches from the center of the hitch pin hole to the center of the ball hole. I have attached a video demonstration of this ball mount for you to check out. If you do not already have a trailer hitch installed on your 2004 Jeep Liberty, I recommend the...
view full answer... - The Best Trailer Wiring Recommendation for a 2004 Jeep LibertyFor your trailer you would probably be fine using Curt trailer wiring harness # C55382 on your 2004 Jeep Liberty. This harness is rated for 3 amps per circuit for stop and turn signals and 5 amps for tail lights. This is most likely plenty for your trailer. If you wanted to be certain though you would need to determine how much amperage each light draws using a meter such as # PT89ZR. Using a powered converter, # 118524, would be the best option though no matter what the situation is because...

view full answer... - Parts Needed to Tow a 2200 Pound Camper with 2007 Jeep Liberty SportOur most popular hitch for the 2007 Jeep Liberty is the Curt trailer hitch, part # 13044. I have included a link to the installation instructions for you to view along with an installation video. In terms of wiring, you have a couple of options. If your Jeep did not come with a tow package, you will use wiring harness # 118524. If it did come with a tow package, use wiring harness # 118381. Depending on what kind of trailer connector the camper has, you may need to add an adapter or...
view full answer... - Parts Needed to Install a 7-way on a 2005 Jeep LibertyTo install a 7-way on your 2005 Jeep Liberty you will first need to start with a 4-way like part # C55382 and then from there convert it to a 7-way. If your trailer doesn't have brakes and all you need is lighting functions then all you would need is the part # 37185. If your trailer has brakes instead of the # 37185 you would need the # ETBC7 and a brake controller. I attached install instructions and an install video for the # ETBC7. For a brake controller I would recommend the Prodigy...
view full answer... - Plug and Play Trailer Wiring Options for 2005 Jeep Liberty W/O Tow PackageWe do indeed have two plug and play trailer wiring harness options for your 2005 Jeep Liberty. If your trailer has minimal lighting- just a stop/turn/tail light for the passenger and drivers side, the Curt # C55382 would be an excellent choice. This harness has a simple installation, which would plug inline with the connectors on the back of the taillight assemblies. If your trailer has more extensive lighting, say what is mentioned above plus some clearance and/or marker lights on the...
view full answer... - How to Pick Trailer Wiring Out for a 2004 Jeep LibertyLike 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...
view full answer... - Recommended Curt Brake Controller for a 2006 Jeep Liberty Towing a Small AlinerI can help tell you the difference between the two Curt brake controllers, but I would like to also suggest a third; the Curt TriFlex # C24VV. Instead of going with a Time Delayed Brake Controller, I would instead recommend you use a Proportional Controller like the # C24VVfor your Aliner. The TriFlex is a proportional brake controller which means it senses how the tow vehicle is slowing or stopping and applies the trailer's brakes with the same intensity. A time delay controller is...
view full answer... - Troubleshooting Brake Lights Not Working on Trailer with 2003 Jeep Liberty I am not quite sure what wiring kit you used to install a 4-Way connector on your 2003 Jeep Liberty but it sounds like it may not have come with a converter. Your Jeep Liberty has a separate wiring system, which means the brake and turn signals are sent along separate wires. A harness with a converter is needed to combine these circuits so that they work with standard trailer wiring. For example the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness # C55382, which is custom-fit for your 2003 Jeep...
view full answer... - Trailer Hitch and Wiring for a 2002 Jeep LibertyYour 2002 Jeep Liberty is suitable for light duty towing and installing a trailer hitch, wiring, and using the appropriate accessories would be the way to go in my opinion. Also, if you go with a hitch you will be able to use other accessories in it after the move such as bike racks or cargo carriers. Check the Jeep owners manual for its towing capacities before towing. Curt trailer hitch # 13044 is the most popular option for your Liberty. I have included a link to a video showing installation...

This has a converter which is needed. The part # 56094 that you referenced does not fit your vehicle at all.

You are correct in noting that there are times when the sport model is different than non-sport models, but this wiring is not different so this wiring harness will work on both sport and non-sport 2002 Jeep Liberty models. I've attached a video of this installation.

The Curt Class III Hitch that fits the Jeep Liberty is part # 13044. Although the Curt hitch you referenced part # C13902 is rated for more tongue weight it does not increase the tongue weight capabilities of the Jeep. I took a look at the owner's manual and the highest rated 2006 Jeep Liberty Sport has a maximum tongue weight capacity of 500 lbs....
view full answer... - Comparison of Curt and Hopkins Wiring Harness for 2002 Jeep LibertyThe Curt Wiring Harness # C55382 connects behind the tail lights of your 2002 Jeep Liberty. So you need a connector on each side to power the 4-pole. However, the Hopkins Harness # 42475 connects behind a panel in the rear compartment on the passenger side of your Jeep and doesn't connect on both sides. It's really just a matter of the harnesses plugging in at different places. They're both correct. The catch is that you'll need to make sure your Jeep has the connector behind the panel...
view full answer... - Instructions for Trailer Wiring Harnesses for a 2006 Jeep LibertyYes, the instructions are on the product pages, right hand side of the page, across from the description. I have included a link to them here for you as well. If we have installation instructions for a product, this is the location they will be. We also have a similar Tow Ready wiring harness, # 118524. I have linked its instructions as well and a video showing a typical installation on a 2006 Liberty.
view full answer... - Trailer Wiring Options for a 2006 Jeep Liberty without Factory Tow PackageThere 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.

So you are correct that either the Tow Ready # 118524 or the Curt # C55382 are confirmed to fit her vehicle. The difference is in the powered converter, when the choice is available is always the better option than the non-powered because of the circuit protection provided and because of the fact that the power to illuminate the lights is being pulled directly from the battery rather then through the more...

Supplemental braking is required in most states anyway so on the systems that come with a breakaway you are killing two birds with one stone so to speak. The braking system I recommend the most is the SMI Stay-IN-Play DUO # SM99251. Once installed you won't have to worry about it again. It does come with a breakaway kit as well.

The two harnesses are basically the same harness made by two different companies.
