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 interior trim panels in your rear cargo area. 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.
Once installation is complete, the 4-way connector will be stowed in an out-of-the-way location within your cargo area.
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.

No complaints with product. Easy Installation and solves my trailer light issue. I Love the plug cover. It keeps water and dirt away from the connector when not in use.
by: William10/23/2018
Installing wiring in ANYTHING gives me the chills so it was a very pleasant surprise to find out the kit installed exactly as promised...quick & EASY. I had this installed to a factory plug! No soldering or splucing! What a relief to find a kit that does exactly what you expect it to.

by: Eddie 11/13/2020
Installed the wiring harness in minutes on my 1996 ZJ 4x4 5.2 engine. The real work was routing the wire (to the battery) in the undercarriage of the vehicle where it would be safe.
by: Davy08/08/2014
Great product and first class service. The wiring harness fit perfectly and work like it was factory installed.

- Correct Hopkins 4-Way Trailer Wiring Kit for a 1994 Jeep Grand CherokeeThe Hopkins Plug-In Simple Vehicle Wiring Harness # HM40555 that you purchase fits a 1992 - 1995 Ford Taurus Sedan. For your 1994 Jeep Grand Cherokee you need the Hopkins Plug-In Simple Vehicle Wiring Harness # HM42515 instead. We also have the Curt # C55349 and Tekonsha # 118349 wiring kits if you want some different options. All of these wiring kits will work well with your '94 Grand Cherokee.
view full answer... - Is The Curt 55027 Still Available And Is There An Alternate Wiring Harness That Will Work?The Curt 55027 has not been available for quite some time. The last one we sold was in 2015. I see that you were searching for parts for a 2012 Jeep Liberty. I can offer you the Curt wiring harness # C56334. This is extremely similar to the 55027 you mentioned. The main difference is that the new harness requires you to run a hot lead to the battery, while the 55027 did not. It looks like all of the wiring harnesses I have for the 2102 Liberty will require you to run a hot lead for 12v....
view full answer... - Trailer Wiring Harness Recommendation for a 1994 Jeep Grand CherokeeIt sounds like the converter box of the # C56496 has shorted out. If it's putting 12 volts on all three taillight circuits just because the battery wire is hooked up it has shorted out. For a replacement harness I would go with the part # C55349 as it will install inline with your taillights for an easier install.
view full answer... - Wiring Harness Recommendation for a 1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee without Factory Towing PackageIn regards to your 1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee both Curt T-Connector vehicle wiring # C55349 and T-One Wiring Harness # 118349 are very similar. They both receive great customer reviews. I would recommend Tow Ready Custom Fit Vehicle Wiring # 118349 as it is the more popular one as well. This wiring harness will connect inline to the plugs located behind the Jeeps tail lights. A separate power wire needs to be run to the positive post of the vehicles battery using the included in-line fuse...
view full answer... - Power Reaching Trailer Wiring Converter But No Power On 4-Way on a 1997 Jeep Grand CherokeeFirst, the Curt trailer wiring harness # C55260, is designed to fit if the 1997 Jeep Grand Cherokee came with the factory tow package. If yours does not have the factory tow package that could be the issue. There could also be some fuses or relays related to the factory tow package wiring, if you have it, that are missing or blown. On some vehicles, power can get through if there is a relay missing but the full power cannot go through the converter until said relay is replaced. Use the...
view full answer... - Installing Curt Trailer Wiring Harness 55260 on a 1995 Jeep Grand CherokeeWhen installing Curt trailer wiring harness # C55260 on a 1995 Jeep Grand Cherokee, both connectors will install on the passenger side of the vehicle behind the tail light and interior trim panels. Look for the matching connectors that look like the gray and black connectors on the harness. This harness is designed to fit on vehicles that have the factory tow package. If yours does not have the factory tow package the wiring may not be present or active for this wiring harness. If that...
view full answer... - Trailer Wiring Recommendation for a 1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee LaredoThe final authority on whether or not a vehicle had a tow package would be a Jeep dealer for your 1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee. Or, you can see if your vehicle has the connector behind the rear scuff panel in the rear cargo area and then test it with a circuit tester like part # 3808 to determine if it is active. For more info on where this connector is check out the installation instructions I attached to the right for the # C55260. If it's there then the # C55260 would work as a wiring harness. Now...
view full answer... - Trailer Wiring Recommendation for a 1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee LimitedYour 1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited most likely came with either no trailer connection at all or a 7-way round trailer connector. If you have a round connector at the rear of your vehicle near the hitch that looks like the part # 20135 then you have a 7-way. To see if you have the connection point to install the wiring harness designed for factory wired vehicles (part # C55260) you will need to look on the driver's side behind the spare. You will see an access panel there. Open it...
view full answer... - What Is the Max Towing Capacity Of a 1998 Jeep Grand CherokeeAccording to my research, the most well equipped 1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee has a maximum towing capacity of 5,000 lbs. Unfortunately, we cannot recommend you tow more than this but since you are very close to the maximum towing capacity you would most likely be fine by just going over a few hundred pounds or so. That said, I cannot recommend this so you will just need to use your best discretion on what you think is right for your vehicle. For a trailer hitch, I recommend using the Draw-Tite...
view full answer... - What is the Converter Box Used for on a 1998 Jeep Grand CherokeeThe converter box included with the vehicle wiring harnesses for this vehicle will avoid overloading the vehicle's electrical system. The converter box does this by drawing power directly from vehicle's battery as opposed to from each individual light circuit. For your 1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee, I recommend using the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness part # C55349 if you do not have the factory tow package or part # C55260 if you do have the factory tow package.
