Installation

This custom-fit T-connector plugs into your vehicle's wiring harness, which is located in your trunk, behind the driver's-side and passenger's-side tail lights. You will have to remove all the cargo tie downs and rear scuff panel and pull back the felt trunk liner to access these connection points. Once you've plugged in the T-connector, run the hot lead 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 trunk.


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.


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.

The harness installed exactly like the directions said. Very impressive, the only hard part was the wire that had too go to the front too the battery. I opted to go through the inside of the car under the trim mouldings, worked out great! Great product.

  • Trailer Hitch and Wiring for a 2015 Chrysler 200s
    I spoke with my contact at Draw-Tite and he said that as long as it is a 2015 Chrysler 200 4-door sedan then trailer hitch # 24919 fits all models including the 200s. If you will be using the hitch for light duty towing then the correct ball mount is # 3593. For a 1-7/8 inch ball use # 19256 and for a 2 inch ball use # 19258. And for trailer wiring you can use # C56242. If you want to use the hitch for an accessory such as a bike rack or cargo carrier then you have to make sure the accessory...

  • Parts to Tow a Small Trailer with a 2015 Chrysler 200
    We do have everything you need to tow a jet ski with your 2015 Chrysler 200. I recommend using the Curt Trailer Hitch # C11403 along with the Curt T-Connector Wiring # C56242. You also need the Ball Mount # C45521, either a 1-7/8" # A-80 or 2" # A-82 hitch ball, and then a pin and clip # F-4 to complete the towing setup. While we do have all of the components needed to tow a small trailer with your Chrysler 200, I tried to find a trailer towing capacity in the online owner's manual and...

  • How to Carry a 250 Pound Scooter with a 2015 Chrysler 200
    Curt trailer hitch # C13056 is for a Dodge Durango and will not fit your 2015 Chrysler 200. The hitches available for the 200 are all Class I hitches rated for a maximum of 200 pounds tongue weight. The weight of your scooter exceeds the tongue weight capacity of the available hitches. What I recommend is to install a hitch, # C11403, and use it to tow a small trailer such as # K2MMT4X6 with the scooter on it. The tongue weight of this set up will be under 200 pounds and will be a much...

  • Routing Power Wire for T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness on 2015 Chrysler 200
    Yes, the power wire routing instructions for a trailer wiring harness like the Curt T-connector # C56242 for a 2015 Chrysler 200 are usually pretty generic as there are more than one way to route the wire. I don't have exact instructions for you unfortunately as the manufacturer does not provide any and we have not yet done this on this vehicle. That said, I recommend first finding a grommet in the trunk pan to route the wire through and then once you get it outside the vehicle, following...

  • Recommended Hitch for a 2015 Chrysler 200
    To add a hitch to your 2015 Chrysler 200, I recommend the Curt item # C11403. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your Chrysler with included hardware. This is a class I hitch with a 1-1/4" receiver. It has a 2,000 lbs towing capacity and a 200 lbs maximum tongue weight. If you are planning on towing you will also need a wiring harness item # C56242 and the Draw-Tite Drawbar item # 3593 and then for hitch balls item # 19258 for a 2 inch ball or item # 19256 for a 1-7/8 inch ball.

  • Trailer Hitch that is Mostly Hidden for a 2015 Chrysler 200
    I included an image for the instructions for Draw-Tite trailer hitch # 24919. As you can see the receiver will be basically the only part visible. This is because it is welded to the bottom of the cross tube which is hidden. If you plan on doing some towing with the hitch on your 2015 Chrysler 200 then the correct ball mount to use is # 3593. For a 1-7/8 inch ball use # 19256 and for a 2 inch ball use # 19258. And for trailer wiring use # C56242. If you want to use the hitch for an accessory...

  • No Power to Trailer Running Lights on 2022 Hyundai Santa Fe
    In regards to the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness # C56242 which is a fit for a 2022 Hyundai Santa Fe, you can troubleshoot this by testing the wires going into the converter box and seeing if they transfer through to the trailer connector harness. For example, one of the wires going into the converter box should only have power when the running lights are active. If you get power going into the converter but not leaving it then you know it's bad and needs replaced.

  • Can a Mobility Scooter be Carried on the Back of a 2015 Chrysler 200
    I do have a solution for you but the problem is that the trailer hitches for the 2015 Chrysler 200 are all rated for 200 pounds tongue weight. The combined weight of the scooter and a carrier would exceed that 200 pound capacity. The best option is to put the scooter on a small trailer (there are some out there made specifically for mobility scooters). This is the safest option and will also reduce the stress put on the vehicle. You would still need a trailer hitch such as # C11403 and...

This is the best option for your Chrysler because of Draw-Tite's reputation for quality and its easy installation. If you C56242, Draw-Tite Drawbar # 3593, and 1-7/8" Hitch Ball # 19256 or 2" Hitch Ball # 19258.

  • Will Car Battery Drain From Inactivity if Left Sitting for A Few Weeks
    The problem you are experiencing is most likely the battery of your vehicle. If a car is going to be parked for a few weeks it's going to need a battery maintenance charger used on it like the CTEK # CTEK56353. If a car battery sits for as long as yours is setting the battery will discharge from not getting charged by the alternator. This charger comes with a set of ring terminals you can install on the battery to make connecting to the charger quick and easy as well. Removing the fuse...
