  • Trailer Hitch Wiring
  • 4 Flat

  • CURT

Quickly and easily install a 4-way trailer connector on your vehicle with this custom harness. T-connector plugs directly into existing wiring. Powered converter reduces strain on wiring system and is made using SMT to ensure superior performance.

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 your rear scuff panel and trunk liner 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.


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 your vehicle operates on a multiplex wiring system, a tail light converter is included with this system so that your vehicle's wiring will be compatible with the wiring system of your trailer.


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.

Super fast shipping excellent product up to date notifications extremely happy with product highly recommended

This trailer wiring harness was a breeze to install, and works very well. I would happy to refer friends to this site.

The kit is great! Had to run a power wire back from the battery in my Dart to the transformer in trunk which was the harder part. They already have car specific instructions for installing the T-wire kit, but would be better if they updated their instructions of running the power wire.



by:

Very easy to wire with the exception of routing the wire from the battery to the rear of the car.

It can be tricky to route the power wire to the battery. We do have a FAQ that gives great tips.

  • Trailer Hitch and Wiring for a 2015 Dodge Dart SXT Rallye with Dual Exhaust
    Curt trailer hitch # C11281 is listed as a fit for dual exhaust models of the 2015 Dodge Dart. The instructions, which I have linked for you, do indicate that there is not a lot of room to work on dual exhaust models so keep that in mind! If you plan on doing some towing first consult the vehicle owners manual for information on towing with the Dart. The correct ball mount to use is # 3592. For a 1-7/8 inch ball use # 19256 and for a 2 inch use # 19258. For trailer wiring use # C56179. If...

  • What Small Trailer do You Recommend for My 2015 Dodge Dart?
    According to the stats I found on your 2015 Dodge Dart, it is only rated to tow up to 1,000 pounds. We do have a utility trailer that weighs only 305 pounds. That is the Detail K2 Mighty Multi Utility Trailer - 6' Long # K2MMT4X6. We also have the heavier/larger Detail K2 Mighty Multi A-Frame Utility Trailer - 7-1/2' Long # K2MMT5X7 (451 pounds). However, given these two trailers, I recommend the # K2MMT4X6 because the tailgate can be used as a ramp and it weighs less. If you need wiring,...

If you are planning on doing some towing check your owner's manual for the towing capacities of the vehicle. If none are listed, then contact Dodge to determine what the capacities are if there are any. If you can tow, then the correct ball mount to use is # 3592. For a 1-7/8 inch ball use # 19256 and for a 2-inch...

  • Tips for Routing the Trailer Wiring Harness Power Wire on a 2014 Dodge Dart
    When installing a powered trailer wiring converter such as # C56179 on your 2014 Dodge Dart you will need to route the power wire to the vehicle battery. There is no one way this has to be done. It depends on the vehicle and how you want the wire to run. I have included a link to a help article with tips on routing the power wire that covers the 3 basic methods of routing the power wire. For a wiring harness I actually recommend # C56179.

  • Is Drilling Required When Installing Trailer Hitch On 2015 Dodge Dart
    The trailer hitch I recommend for your 2015 Dart is the Curt, part # C11281. This is a Class l hitch and it has a 1-1/4 inch receiver opening. When installing this hitch you do not have to drill any holes in the frame. You use existing holes as explained in the instructions. You just remove the rubber plugs from the holes and the hitch will use them for the hitch install. You may need to clean dirt or corrosion out of the holes in the frame, and can use a nylon brush like part # 814092....

  • Which Euro-Style Ballmount for Draw-Tite 24890 Installed on 2016 Dodge Dart
    The Curt Euro Style Ball Mount, part # C45571 will work just fine in a Class I hitch like the Draw-Tite # 24890 that you'd looked at. Since you'll be towing, you'll also want to pick up a trailer wiring harness, part # C56179 and a hitch pin like # PC2. I'll link you to an installation video for the hitch.

  • Determining if 2013 Dodge Dart Can Tow Motorcycle Trailer
    The most important thing to note when determining how heavy a trailer your Dodge Dart can tow is that you will always be limited by your weakest component. This means that if the Draw-Tite Class I Hitch # 24890 features a 2,000 pound towing weight capacity but your vehicle has a 1,000 pound towing limit, you will need to stay under the vehicle's lower 1,000 pound capacity. I did take a look at the online owner's manual for your 2013 Dodge Dart and verified that it does list a 1,000 pound...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch for 2013 Dodge Dart Rallye
    From my research I found that the towing capacity for your 2013 Dodge Dart Rallye has a maximum towing capacity of 1,000 lbs. This would be the weight of any trailer you attach added to the weight of the cargo on the trailer. The hitch I recommend is the Curt Trailer hitch, part # C11281. This is a Class l hitch and has a 1-1/4 inch receiver opening. The ball mount I recommend is the Draw-Tite Ball Mount, part # 3592. This fits 1-1/4 inch receivers and uses hitch balls with a 3/4...

  • How to Find a Brake Light Only Circuit on a Vehicle for Wiring Up Third Brake Light
    The # C56179 is for installing trailer wiring on a vehicle so it would not be the correct kit for you. The easiest way to find a brake light only circuit on your vehicle would be to either tap into the circuit that runs to your current third brake light, or use a taillight converter like part # 118158. You would run the input side to the stop/turn circuits of your vehicle like the box is labeled, and then on the output side the red wire would be a dedicated brake light signal.

  • Can a 2015 Dodge Dart Carry a Motorcycle on a Hitch Mounted Motorcycle Carrier
    I definitely recommend not carrying your Honda motorcycle with your 2015 Dodge Dart. The carrier you're looking at, part # e98873, is rated up to 500 pounds and from my research the bike has wet weight of 357 pounds. So I understand why you think you're okay. However, you're capacity is limited by the lowest rated component, and the Curt hitch, part # C11281, is a Class I hitch that's rated up to 200 pounds of tongue weight. Furthermore, your 2015 Dodge Dart is only rated up to 150...
