Expert Answers about Jeep Liberty


  • Comparison of Curt and Hopkins Wiring Harness for 2002 Jeep Liberty
  • The Curt Wiring Harness # C55382 connects behind the tail lights of your 2002 Jeep Liberty. So you need a connector on each side to power the 4-pole. However, the Hopkins Harness # 42475 connects behind a panel in the rear compartment on the passenger side of your Jeep and doesn't connect on both sides. It's really just a matter of the harnesses plugging in at different places. They're both correct. The catch is that you'll need to make sure your Jeep has the connector behind the panel...

  • Comparing Spare Tire-Mount and Hitch-Mount Bike Carriers for 2006 Jeep Liberty
  • Between a hitch-mount rack and a spare tire-mount rack I will always recommend the hitch rack since this type of bike carrier does not place any weight burden on the car's rear hatch. Instead, a hitch rack uses the vehicle's strongest part - its frame - to handle the weight of the loaded bike rack. Your 2006 Jeep Liberty can be fitted with either a 1-1/4-inch Class II hitch or a higher capacity 2-inch Class III type. All available options are shown on the linked page. Some bike racks can...

  • Aluminum Ball Mount Selection For 2005 Jeep Liberty
  • A difference in length of your hitch, or ball mount will effect the clearance from the trailer to the rear of your Jeep Liberty. What you would want to do is measure the clearance needed on your Jeep Liberty. To measure the clearance needed, you will want to measure from the center of the hitch pin hole out 8-1/4 Inches. This will be the location of your hitch ball. Then what you can do is move your trailer and position the coupler to that approximate location to see if there will be any...

  • Difference Between Tow Ready Trailer Wiring Harnesses For a 2012 Jeep Liberty
  • The difference between the Tow Ready trailer wiring harnesses, # 118554 and # 118384, is how they connect to the vehicle. If your 2012 Jeep Liberty came with a factory tow package, then you would just need part # 118384. There should be a factory tow package wiring harness behind the rear bumper of your Jeep that is capped off. You will simply remove the cap, plug in this harness and you are good to go. If your Jeep Liberty did not come with a factory tow package, but the factory plug...

  • On a transmission cooler there are three basic types of heat exchangers. The most efficient is the stacked plate. The next one is the plate and fin, which is very efficient.

  • Choosing Between Curt and Tow Ready Trailer Wiring Harnesses for a 2005 Jeep Liberty
  • It is my opinion that Tow Ready wiring harness # 118524 is superior to Curt wiring harness # C55382 for your 2005 Jeep Liberty. We here proportionally less problems with the Tow Ready harnesses compared to the Curt. The fact that your other Tow Ready harness lasted 10 years is awesome. There may have been a short on the trailer that caused it to fail otherwise it might still be working today!

  • Recommended Taillight Wiring Harness for Flat Towing 2012 Jeep Liberty Behind Motorhome
  • The Hopkins # HM56204 is a plug-and-play wiring harness that contain diodes to prevent feedback into the tow vehicle's wiring system. The harness would use the taillights of your Liberty like a combined system. When the vehicle's being flat towed, the red taillights will act as the stop, turn and brake lamps. When the Liberty is unplugged from the RV and driven normally, the taillight system will operate as usual.

  • Comparison of Wiring Harnesses to Fit 2011 Jeep Liberty and Other Parts Needed to Tow a Trailer
  • There are three trailer wiring harnesses that fit the 2011 Jeep Liberty. The Tekonsha # 118554, Curt # C56334, and a Hopkins # HM11142485.

  • 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....

  • How to Select Correct Wiring Harness for 2006 Jeep Liberty
  • A local Jeep dealership can run your Liberty's VIN through their computer to tell you if it was equipped with a factory tow package, but you can also just check under the rear bumper to see if there is a wiring connector that looks similar to the one shown in the linked photo. This image shows male/female connectors included with 4-pole harness part # 42475. The 7-way harness # HM42190 also uses a rectangular OEM connector. Both of these harnesses are for tow-package-equipped vehicles. If...
