Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness Installation - 2017 Jeep Patriot- Video
Rob: Hey everybody. Rob here at etrailer.com. And today we're going to be taking a look at the Curt T-connector vehicle wiring harness on our 2017 Jeep Patriot.Now, our Curt T-connector vehicle wiring harness is going to provide us with a 4-pole flat trailer connector, that way we can have all the required lights to get down the road safely, whenever we are pulling a trailer, like our tail lights, our turn signals and our stoplights. Our wiring is designed to stay on the outside of the vehicle, which is nice because whenever we do want to hook it up, it's going to be right by our receiver tube, so we don't have to go dropping out the back of the hatch.It is going to come with a dust cover, and I always like to use the dust cover to attach my wiring to the hitch, that way it prevents it from dragging the ground. But if you'd like to put a bracket up, I think adding a bracket not only is going to give it a more of a secure mounting point, but it does look a little bit cleaner, that way our wiring again is close to our hitch, but a little bit more secure.As far as the installation goes, it's extremely straightforward. There's no cutting or splicing of the factory wires at all, so we don't have to worry about that. more

Trailer Wiring Harness Installation - 2010 Jeep Patriot 118552- Video
Today on this 2010 Jeep Patriot we are going to install wiring harness part number 118552 from Tow Ready and we are also going to use a 4-pole flat connector mounting bracket and we are going to use part number 118144 also from Tow Ready. For a quick overview what is going to happen is we are going to make our attachment points behind both tail lights and then we are going to run a 4-pole wiring harness down to the hitch and we are going to take our power wire and run it to the battery and we are going to run it up the driver side frame rail up to the battery. Lets begin. Open up the tail gate and start taking off the tail lights. When you take the attachment points off these are actually plastic rivets underneath here, the cap is kind of fragile so be careful when you remove it. Use a screwdriver to get it started and then use a trim panel tool to remove it. Gently pull it back a little bit, maybe wiggle it, and then pull it apart. At this point we can leave the light attached and then take off the other one. If you can it might be a better idea to disconnect the wiring harness from the light and put the light in the same spot just so it does not move around. 01:06 more
