CURT Custom Fit Vehicle Wiring - C56009

  • Custom Fit
  • Trailer Hitch Wiring
  • 4 Flat
  • No Converter
  • CURT

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.


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
  • Comes with dust cap for 4-way flat connector
  • 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.

Super easy to install! Very strong. I installed the hitch and the wiring for a trailer in about an hour. Zero problems getting it to line up. Great product.

Easy install in less than 30 minutes and great instructions!

The hitch and wiring work perfect. It was all delivered in 4 days. I will definitely recommend etrailer to anyone needing auto accessories.

I have been sent the wrong harness. This harness that was sent is for a Ford. We have a 2012 jeep grand cherokee limited. I need this corrected asap.....

2010 Jeep Grand Cherokee

The trailer wire harness was a perfect fit. The installation video was helpful and I confidentally removed the tail lights, cinne cted the harness and in 15 minutes was done. Everything fit perfectly, instructions were clear and the video was a blessing. I highly recommend this product and your company fir the fast shipping of a quality product.

Thanks, it is still working great!

Perfect fit, easy installation and after a year of use it still works like a factory install.

2008 Jeep Grand Cherokee

I ordered this wiring harness for my 2008 Grand Cherokee and it arrived very quickly. It installed very easily. The instructions are very clear, the only thing I would add is to be careful routing the wire to the right side vehicle light because you are running the wire close to the exhaust. The vehicle wiring has heat shielding covering the wiring harness but the trailer wiring does not, so be careful to keep it as far from the exhaust as possible. The connecters fit perfectly into the taillight connecters and all the wires were a good length, long enough to reach but not so long that there were a lot of excess wire to bundle up. Everything needed was included including a self tapping screw for the ground and zip ties to keep everything neat. I also ordered the 18144 mounting bracket and the plug fit into the bracket perfectly so I don't have a dangling plug.



by:
2012 Jeep Cherokee

Ridiculously easy to install. No hard wiring...just plug it in using the instructions. You pop both taillight housings out, pop the upper bulbs plug off, plug the new harness to bulb, plug cars factory plug into the back of the new harness. Route wires to the other taillight and do the same. Your flat 4 is now hanging under your bumper. Zip tie. Done. You do NOT need to flash the computer for a flat 4 harness addition even if your Cherokee had no towing package. It pulls is signal right from your working taillights...get it?



by:

The wiring installed very easily and mated with the light plugs perfectly. Based upon the size of the ground connector I would suggest a larger self tapping screw, which would make better 360 degree contact.

An option I would like to see and would buy is a square plate with mounting holes to fit the existing factory plug mount next to the hitch. A horizontal slot would be cut to match the shape of the plug with a long U-clip to hold it in place. Perfect!



by:

What can I say about etrailer.com and the Hitch Receiver... Communication was excellent, delivered in a matter of a few days, etc... The product was spot on; easy application taking less than a half hour. The hitch is snug to the bumper, sleek, and functional.

I'll be a repeat customer for sure!

Thank you, etrailer!

2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee

This product is high quality and installed easily according to video instructions. I got this with a hitch intended to haul a bike rack but I used it to pull a trailer and it works great. I always put some dielectric grease on the plug works great I would recommend it.



by:
2010 Jeep Grand Cherokee

Extremely happy with the wiring harness. Much better option that a generic harness at local auto parts store that requires spicing of wires for the installation. Easy installation on 2010 Grand Cherokee, good apparent quality and should be easy to remove/replace if needed due to the factory style connectors.



by:
2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee

The hitch arrived on the date it was expected, the box was damaged and a portion of the hitch was sticking out of the box. Upon further inspection the hitch was fine. My son and I installed the hitch in about 10 minutes with no issues. We also purchased the wiring kit and we had that installed in about another 15 minutes on our 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee. It looks great and works great. I would recommend this product.

2013 Jeep Grand Cherokee

Hitch for 2013 Grand Cherokee. Items were rec. promptly as advertised. Installation was easy and the assistance from your employees was very helpful. Needed only one wrench. Instructions were adequate but did show a different model jeep taillight in the insts. All in all very easy installation and quick service. Wiring harness was easy to install also. Thank you.



by:
2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee

Easy to install. Plenty of wire to make install smooth and hidden. Does come with a cover for the 4 prong trailer plug. I would recommend looking under the vehicle. It may have a harness already wired under the bumper. It would allow you to just plug and go for a 4 or 7 prong. I had it but found the 4 prong flat was easy and a few dollars cheaper and I only need a flat plug.

2013 Jeep Grand Cherokee

Wiring Harness is Excellent, Plug&Play. On my 2013 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LAREDO - I install it myself & learned about all the Nooks&Grannies in the rear of this JEEP. Roughted wiring harness through vent panels on the left & right rear side of the body, it took some searching with my fingers/hands, behind and under the bucket storage items. First - snaked a bendable wire through the panel/wholes to make sure that they arrived outside & inside the car skin - up to the rear tail lights & connect to the tail light wire. Everything working accordingly. No Blown Fuses. Jim C.

CUSTOM JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE HARNESS, FIT AS ADVERTISED. WATCHED eTRAILER VIDEO BEFORE INSTALLING MADE IT A BREEZE. TIME SPENT WAS LESS THAN A HALF HOUR. WOULD RECOMMEND ORDERING OPTIONAL .CABLE BRACKET TO MOUNT 4 WAY CONNECTOR.

We got the hitch and wiring fast my husband had together fairly quickly we just forgot to order the plug bracket
But it's on its way I definitely would recommend to a friend
My jeep grand cherokee is ready for fishing lol

I ordered this item and it arrived a few days later. It fit my 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee just as advertised. I now have trailer lights that are fully operational. I called in for advice on which part to order and I was very impressed. Not only did a REAL person answer the phone. My sales tech knew what I needed and she explained why it worked the way it did. Thanks for everything etrailer.

Respectfully Yours

Works Great. Minimal Rust.

This product is top quality, and has held up in various weather conditions perfectly. One of the nice things about this wiring harness is that it has the appearance of being factory installed



by:
2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee

My tow hitch and wiring harness arrived on time and was really easy to install. Half the price of having someone install it, and it looks great.



by:

Wiring harness was made with great quality. All connections connected correctly and worked as promised. Installation instructions were easy to read and follow and were complete.



by:
2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee

The hitch install was very good it took less time then was described in the video. Wiring was just as easy the hardest part is feeding the wire away from the exhaust tips so not to over heat it.



by:

This was very easy to install, works well. The wiring could have been a tad longer reaching the left tail light unit.

  • Availability of Vehicle Specific 4-Pole Trailer Wiring Harness for 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    We do indeed carry a vehicle specific 4-pole trailer connector for a 2012 Jeep Cherokee, part # 118425 from Tow Ready. We also have a similar item from Curt, part # C56009. According to Hopkins, the 11142464 harness is a fit for the 2014 Grand Cherokee only. It would not fit your 2012 model. If you're wanting to install a brake controller, your Grand Cherokee won't have the under-dash connector unless it's equipped with the factory 7-way trailer connector. Since it sounds as if your...

I attached installation instructions for this product for your to check out also. If there is a bracket on your factory hitch that is designed to store a 4-way wiring harness you should have no problem storing the 4-way from the # C56009 in that bracket.

  • Turning on Headlights Causes Other Lights to go Out Using Curt Harness C56009
    Thank you again for your purchase from etrailer of the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # C56009, and if turning on the headlights causes other lights to go out the issue is almost always a bad ground. Check to make sure your ground is attached to a bare metal surface free of any paint, dirt or corrosion.

    Both the Tow Ready harness # 118425 and the Curt harness # C56009 install and function the same way on your 2013 Jeep Grand Cherokee without the factory tow package. They are just from 2 different manufacturers. I have linked videos showing example installations of both for you. I usually recommend Tow Ready over Curt because on harnesses with converter boxes the Tow Ready ones seem to be the more reliable option.

  • How to Determine if a 2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee has a Factory Tow Package
    The most definite way to determine if you have a tow package or not is to contact a Jeep dealership and give them your VIN number. They will be able to tell by looking at your VIN number whether or not you have the tow package. If you have a factory installed trailer hitch with either a 4-way trailer connector or a 7-way connector then you have the towing package also. The connector should be under the rear bumper on the driver side. If you find that you do not have the towing package...

    I have a solution for you, but the Curt # C13900 is a multi-fit hitch, so it would likely take some modifications and drilling for installation on your 2013 Jeep Grand Cherokee. For this reason I recommend instead using the Curt # C13065 which is a custom fit for your Grand Cherokee, so that means no drilling and an easy, bolt on installation to save you time and hassle. This hitch is also a Class III receiver like the C13900 and uses a concealed cross-tube that really gives it a great...
