Expert Answers about Jeep Flat Tow Wiring Harness


  • Recommended 4 Pole Wiring Harness for a 2010 Jeep Wrangler
  • Max, to install a standard trailer towing harness on your 2010 Jeep Wrangler you're just going to need the Hopkins Plug-In Simple Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # HM42635. This harness installs into your Jeep's factory wiring and will provide a 4-pole at the rear. Also, according to Hopkins, you can use both the # HM42635 trailer wiring harness and their # HM56200 flat towing wiring harness at the same time.

  • Trailer Hitch Receiver & Wiring For 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee Set up For Flat Towing
  • Hello Phillip, Yes, you can add a trailer hitch and wiring to your 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee that is already set up for flat towing. The procedure will be exactly the same installing a hitch, it's just the wiring that might be a bit different. If your Grand Cherokee has a flat tow wiring harness that plugs into your Jeep's lights, the trailer wiring harness will tee in. If your flat tow harness splices in, then the installation of the trailer wiring harness won't be any different at all....

  • Custom Flat Tow Wiring Harness For A 2008 Jeep Wrangler
  • I went ahead and checked out the Blue Ox Tow Bar Wiring Kit BLU79FR, and it actually is only deigned to fit the 2018-2021 Jeep Wranglers. Instead, I recommend installing the Hopkins Custom Tail Light Wiring Kit for Towed Vehicles # HM56200. This wiring harness will plug directly into your vehicle's wiring harness, and is guaranteed to fit your 2008 Jeep Wrangler.

  • Adding Brake Controller to 2022 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited w/o Tow Package That is Wired For Flat Towin
  • Hi there Patrick; thanks for writing in and you can absolutely get your 2022 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited without the tow package set up with the Prodigy P3 Brake Controller # 90195 even though it is already wired for flat towing. The flat tow wiring gets spliced in before the connector and the 4-way will plug into the connector which is why they can be used together. You do have the correct parts for your '22 Wrangler Unlimited as well: - Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole...

  • Recommended 4-Way Wiring Harness for a 2021 Chevy Equinox
  • There are no compatibility issues with the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness item # C94FR and the Roadmaster InvisiBrake Flat Tow Brake System item # RM-8700. Please note that the Curt item # C94FR is designed for the 2021 Chevy Equinox's with the factory tow package. If yours does not have the factory tow package you will need item # 118750. These are for towing a trailer with your Equinox and are unrelated to anything involving flat towing.

  • Recommended Parts to Tow a Trailer w/ Brakes w/ a 2024 Toyota Grand Highlander
  • To install a 7-Way harness on your 2024 Toyota Grand Highlander you will need two separate wiring harnesses because they don't make just one that'll do the job. The first harness you'll need is either the Curt T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness item # C59236 if you have the tow package or item # C59236 if you do not. The item # C79VV is a custom-fit T-connector that plugs into your Toyota's wiring harness, which is located in your cargo area. The Curt item # C59236 is a universal option for...

  • Recommended Trailer Wire Harness For A 2020 GMC Terrain
  • Hey Mark, If your Terrain has a plug like the one pictured below then you should have the tow package and be able to use the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # C94FR. This harness has relays to plug into itself to activate the factory tow package and transfer the light signals to through the trailer connector. If the harness you're describing is different then it likely isn't for the tow package and you'll need to go with the Tekonsha Powered...

  • Recommended Tow Bar Wiring Harness & Flat Tow Setup For A 2021 Jeep Wrangler
  • The Blue Ox Tow Bar Wiring Kit BLU86XR you mentioned is actually designed to fit 2014-2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee's with a tow package, as well as a 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee without a tow package. With that being said, this kit is not going to be the correct kit for your 2021 Jeep Wrangler, unfortunately. Instead, what you're going to need instead is the Curt Custom Tail Light Wiring Kit for Towed Vehicles # C96JR. This is going to be the same wiring harness as the Blue Ox Tow Bar Wiring...

  • Parts Needed To Flat Tow a 2016 Cadillac SRX
  • Thank you for the review on the installation video for the Blue Ox Base Plate # BX1690 Jack. I have linked it near the bottom of this page as well as the other videos we have for installing both the wiring harness and supplemental braking systems. You will of course need a set of Tow Bars # BX7420 if you do not still have yours from your 2006 Vue to pull your 2016 Cadillac SRX. For the wiring you will need the Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit # RM-15267 and a Charge...

  • Auxiliary Lighting For a Bike Rack Behind a Flat Towed 2024 Chevrolet Trax
  • As long as the flat tow wiring is wired in before the 4-Way # C93ZV and you connect the power for the converter directly to the battery it will work. I have seen several use Magnetic Lights # TL21RK which they will wire in on the main harness to have additional lighting and a separate 4-way connector just for that purpose.

  • Is The Curt C56314 What I Need To Pull A Utility Trailer With A 2015 Kia Optima SX
  • Hello Gerard. The Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness # C56314 is exactly what you will need to tow a utility trailer with your 2015 Kia Optima SX. The 4-flat connector is very standard for utility trailers. Any trailer that does not have its own brakes will use the 4-flat.

  • Can Curt Plug and Play Flat Tow Wiring and 4-Way Be Installed At The Same Time On 2013 Fiat 500
  • Since the Curt # C58911 and # C56174 use the same connection points you will not be able to install both at the same time. If you really want to swap them out when you tow/flat tow you can but that is going to be a big hassle. Instead, I recommend using the # C59236 which splices in for installation. It isn't ideal when there is a plug and play option but it will let you keep both installed on your vehicle.

  • Can The Connector On A Hopkins Towed Vehicle Harness Be Swapped To Use The Harness As A Trailer Wiri
  • No, the Hopkins Custom Tail Light Wiring Kit for Towed Vehicles # HM56200 is sending power to the lights and not pulling power from them to send out to the 4-pole connector. There are plug-in style trailer wire harnesses available though that I can recommend if you can tell me the year and model of your Jeep.

  • Bluetooth Trailer Brake Controller and 7-Way Compatible With PWM Wiring On a 2014 Audi Q7
  • The PWM(Pulse Width Modulation) on your 2014 Audi Q7 will not be an issue for towing as long as the 4-way converter used is compatible with PWM wiring. The Vehicle Wiring Harness # C59236 is an example of one of the 4-way flat harnesses that is okay to work with the PWM on your Audi. Adding the 7-Way RV Upgrade Kit # ETBC7 will not be an issue as the power wire for the charge line will connect directly to the battery with a circuit breaker to protect the wiring. You will not have any...

  • Recommended Trailer Wiring Harness for a 2024 Tesla Model Y
  • It depends on what trailer you'd consider to be "most" trailers, but with a Tesla you're going to be pretty limited so I'll assume it's nothing with brakes. So with that being said, we have the ZCI Circuit Protected Vehicle Wiring Harness w/ 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector and Installation Kit # 119250KIT, which is a custom fit harness that'll simply plug into your factory wiring. This is a 4 pole wiring harness which is pretty much that standard on every small trailer. It's also worth...
