CURT Custom Fit Vehicle Wiring - C55451

  • Custom Fit
  • 4 Flat
  • Trailer Hitch Wiring
  • CURT
  • Converter

Quickly and easily install a 4-way trailer connector on your vehicle with this custom harness. T-connector plugs directly into existing wiring - no cutting, splicing or tapping required. Converter is made using SMT to ensure superior performance.


Features:

  • Provides a 4-way flat trailer connector at the back of your vehicle to power your trailer's signal lights
    • Compatible with 5-pole, 6-pole and 7-pole adapters (sold separately)
  • Connects quickly and easily - no cutting or splicing of wires
    • Locate connection points behind tail lights
    • Plug in T-connector
  • Includes a tail light converter to ensure that your vehicle's wiring matches that of your trailer
  • Constructed using surface-mount technology (SMT) for consistent, reliable performance
    • Maximizes trailer light yield and intensity while producing minimal heat
    • Ensures superior operation in rough road conditions
  • Comes with dust cap for 4-way flat connector


Specs:

  • Maximum amperage:
    • Stop/turn lights: 3 amps per circuit
    • Tail lights: 5 amps per circuit
  • Limited 1-year warranty


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.


Once installation is complete, the 4-way connector will be stowed beneath your vehicle, near the trailer hitch. A mounting bracket (sold separately) is recommended to keep the connector secure.


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.


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.

It took a while for this answer, but I only use my traile once in a while. The problem with my last harness was the box kept blowing the fuse for my brake lights and so far this hasn’t;t happened. So fa I am happy. Thanks.

Replaced a problematic 10 yr. old trailer wiring harness in a 2016 Jeep Cherokee Laredo. This prior harness had been spliced into rear taillights with quick-splice connectors and a separate 12V wire was routed under vehicle frame to engine area and clamped to positive battery terminal. Fortunately, this etrailer.com (#C55451) harness included well labeled "quick-connect" wiring connectors directly to Jeep factory taillight connectors without any splicing or additional 12V hot wire required. Everything was included in the etrailer.com kit and was easy to assemble thanks to excellent instructions. Really liked the YouTube video showing exact install of this same kit by an etrailer.com technician. Also, I had one quick question before I started so I called Noah (customer service dept.) at etrailer.com and he quickly answered my question. He also assured me he or another technician would be available via phone support if any further questions came up during or after installation. In summary, a very well designed product from a company that is serious about making their customers successful. Very pleased with this item and would highly recommend as a DIY project.

  • Brake Controller Recommendation and Installation for a 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    We have everything you need to install a brake controller on your 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee. For a brake controller, I recommend the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Brake Controller, # 90195. This is one of the top brake controllers on the market because it is easy to use and set up. There are no plug-in style brake controller harnesses for the 2006 Grand Cherokee, so it will need to be hardwired. If your Jeep already has the factory tow package with the 7-way trailer connector, then all you will need...

  • Does Curt 4-Way Wiring Harness Fit 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee Without Factory Tow Package Wiring
    Yes, I can indeed verify for you that the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # C55451 does fit your 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee without the factory tow package wiring.

  • Troubleshooting Trailer Taillights that Stop Working After A Few Minutes
    What you are describing sounds like you are over drawing the wiring harness and instead of shorting out it's temporarily turning off. Typically this doesn't happen and instead the harness shorts itself out all together. You are most likely running too many lights on the trailer and if you reduced some of the draw you'd be good. Converting some of the lights to LED will help out quite a bit as well. I attached a page that has all of the LED trailer taillights we offer as well.

  • Curt T-Connector Harness C55451 On 2006 Grand Cherokee Causes All Tail Lights To Flash
    I am sorry to hear about the issues you are having with the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness part # C55451. This harness actually ties in behind the tail lights on your 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee so there will be no additional fuses or relays needed. I recommend that you remove the fuses and relays that you installed. If you are still having issues once this is done then you will first want to find a new ground, bare metal on the frame. I would then make sure you have attached the...

  • Which Trailer Wiring Do I need For a 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited
    If the Jeep does not have a tow package, I recommend Curt T-Connector part # C55451 because it can handle 1 more amp per circuit than the other trailer wiring options for your Jeep. The more amps per circuit the better especially if you are towing a trailer with a lot of lights. If the Jeep does have a tow package, I recommend Hopkins part # HM40975 7-way plug to plug into the factory port at the rear of the Jeep. This is the best option if you have the tow package because it simply plugs...

  • Troubleshooting Driver Side Lights Not Function After Curt Wiring Install 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    You will want to first try connecting and disconnecting the driver side connectors of the part # C55451 to hopefully clear out any misconnection that it may have. If it still doesn't work you would want to test the converter box to determine if it is at fault. What you will want to do is test the wires going into the box of the converter box for voltage with a circuit tester like the # PTW2993 to see if there is voltage going into the box when the taillight functions of your vehicle are...
