Thanks so much for ordering from us! I went ahead and looked up your order, and I confirmed that you are talking about the Tekonsha T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # 118534.
This wiring harness require a connection to run the wire to a battery because the electrical system on your 2015 Chrysler Town and Country cannot handle the amperage draw from the trailer lights. The ModuLite converter box that comes with the # 118534 protect your vehicle's sensitive electrical system.
I went ahead and linked an article that talks about why the battery connection is necessary and routes to wire the power wire to the battery terminal.
