All Hardware and Installation Instructions Included!
However you define adventure -- whether it's climbing onto the back of a mountain bike, hunting from the top of a tree stand or camping with the family a long way from nowhere -- CURT class 1 hitches provide a light-duty towing receiver to help you Bring It. Each is made to fit a specific vehicle, providing easier installation, a better fit and optimal towing capacity. Custom class 1 trailer hitches are available for a variety of smaller vehicle types, including the compact car, crossover, minivan and small SUV. This particular class 1 hitch is designed to be a custom hitch for certain years of the Chrysler PT Cruiser (to verify vehicle compatibility, see the CURT application guide at curtmfg.com). Tested in accordance with SAE J684, it offers a weight carrying capacity of 2,000 lbs. GTW and 200 lbs. TW. It is equipped with 1-1/4" receiver tube opening to accept a ball mount shank or other hitch mount. This class 1 hitch also comes with all necessary mounting hardware. With its lightweight design and smaller receiver tube size, a class 1 hitch is especially useful for adding cargo space with a hitch-mounted bike rack or cargo carrier. They can also typically be used to tow small trailers such as a utility trailer, kayak trailer or teardrop camper (never exceed the lowest weight capacity of any towing component; i.e. the vehicle, hitch, trailer, etc). Though CURT class 1 trailer hitches are only intended for light-duty towing, we apply the same principles of quality as we do to the rest of our rear mount hitches. Each class 1 hitch is made with hands-on engineering, high-strength steel and precise welding. We use a co-cured finish of liquid A-coat, inside and out, and durable black powder coat to provide a lasting defense against rust, chips and UV rays.
If your vehicle is not equipped with wiring for towing a trailer, CURT custom wiring is the ideal solution. A custom wiring harness -- also called a T-connector -- is a simple, plug-and-play electrical device that plugs into your automotive electric system and provides a standard, universal trailer wiring connection. This is done using two or more vehicle-specific, OEM-compatible connectors to plug into the taillight assembly, eliminating the need for cutting, splicing and soldering during installation. Custom wiring harnesses are made vehicle-specific, and while they are not available for all vehicles, they do offer one of the fastest, easiest and most secure ways to wire a vehicle for towing. This particular plug-in harness provides a 4-way flat connector socket and is designed to be a custom wiring harness to fit certain years of the Chrysler PT Cruiser (to verify your vehicle compatibility, see application info). It comes with all necessary wiring components to establish a reliable trailer wiring connection, as well as a dust cover to keep the connector clean when not in use. You have a picture in mind of your next destination -- maybe it's the boat landing at your favorite fishing spot, maybe it's a campsite that overlooks one of nature's masterpieces, or maybe it's the next big jobsite. However, turning that picture into a reality takes more than just daydreaming. It takes a solid connection and the right amount of power. CURT custom wiring is made with some of the most sophisticated technology in the industry and is designed to install with ease, giving you a long-lasting electrical connection for your towing hitch setup.

Yes, the Curt 55532 is designed for Chrysler PT Cruiser passenger cars. The harness connects to the factory taillight connectors on both the driver and passenger sides. Verify your vehicle matches the application before purchasing.
Chrysler PT Cruiser (passenger cars only).
The Curt 55532 is a custom wiring harness that integrates with your vehicle's taillight system to provide trailer lighting control. It includes a converter box that connects to a 4-flat trailer connector. The harness taps into the factory taillight wiring on both sides of the vehicle and routes the 4-flat connector to the center of the vehicle for convenient trailer connection.
You will need: ratchet, 10mm socket, T-30 Torx bit, flat blade screwdriver, panel trim removal tool, wire stripper, wire crimper, cutting tool, and fishwire. A drill may be needed if a suitable grounding point with an existing screw is not available.
A drill may be required only if a suitable grounding point with an existing screw is not available near the driver-side taillight connector. If you must drill, a 3/32" pilot hole is needed. Check for hidden items before drilling.
The package includes: a custom wiring harness with yellow and green wire ends, a black converter box, a white ground wire with ring terminal, a provided screw for grounding, double-sided tape, a 10-amp fuse, an in-line fuse holder, cable ties, and a 4-flat dust cover.
Remove the T-30 Torx screw securing the driver side taillight assembly. Carefully pull the taillight rearward, taking care not to damage the locking tabs. Repeat this process on the passenger side.
Behind each removed taillight, locate the vehicle taillight wiring harness connectors. Separate these connectors from the taillight housing carefully, taking care not to damage the locking tabs. Insert the custom wiring harness end (yellow wire on driver side, green wire on passenger side) between the separated connectors, ensuring the connectors are fully inserted with locking tabs in place.
Locate a suitable grounding point near the driver-side taillight connector, such as an existing screw with nut in the vehicle frame. If no suitable point exists, drill a 3/32" pilot hole. The area must be free of rust, dirt and paint. Secure the white ground wire using the ring terminal and provided screw. Before drilling, check for miscellaneous items hidden behind or under any surface to avoid damage and personal injury.
Locate a flat spot inside the vehicle near the taillight and adhere the black converter box using the provided double-sided tape.
When in use, route the 4-flat connector to the center of the vehicle and out of the trunk. When not in use, roll it up and store in a convenient, out-of-the-way location inside the trunk. Secure any loose wires with the provided cable ties.
Insert a 10-amp fuse into the in-line fuse holder provided with the harness. The battery connection must be fuse-protected with a 10-amp maximum. Do not exceed this rating, as exceeding the product rating can cause loss of warranty, overheating and potential fire.
10-amp maximum. Do not exceed this rating.
Drill a 3/32" pilot hole for the provided grounding screw. This is only necessary if a suitable existing screw with nut is not available in the vehicle frame near the driver-side taillight connector.
Signal circuits are rated at 3.0 amps per side. Tail/running circuits are rated at 6.0 amps total. Do not exceed the product rating or the tow vehicle lamp load rating, whichever is lower.
The maximum fuse rating is 10 amps. Exceeding this rating can cause loss of warranty, overheating and potential fire. Do not exceed the product rating or the tow vehicle lamp load rating, whichever is lower.
Before drilling, check for miscellaneous items that may be hidden behind or under any surface to avoid damage and/or personal injury. Ensure the grounding area is free of rust, dirt and paint before securing the ground wire.
Once installed, test for proper function by using a test light or connecting a properly wired trailer. All steps must be followed to ensure the wiring harness will function properly.
Reinstall all items removed during installation. Install the provided 4-flat dust cover to help prevent corrosion. Test the harness for proper function using a test light or by connecting a properly wired trailer.
