The 05-10 JEEP Grand Cherokee Excluding SRT8 2 CURT Trailer Hitch + Assure Proportional Brake Controller Kit HBCW1557 (Part #HBCW1557) fits 2005-2010 Jeep Grand Cherokee models. The 2010 model year is the last year covered by this part number. For newer models, check for an updated version.
Yes, the 05-10 JEEP Grand Cherokee Excluding SRT8 2 CURT Trailer Hitch + Assure Proportional Brake Controller Kit HBCW1557 (Part #HBCW1557) is designed to fit the 2005-2010 Jeep Grand Cherokee.
The 05-10 JEEP Grand Cherokee Excluding SRT8 2 CURT Trailer Hitch + Assure Proportional Brake Controller Kit HBCW1557 (Part #HBCW1557) Refer to the included instructions for installation details. Basic hand tools are typically all you need.
Yes, the Curt 13051 receiver hitch is designed for 1999–2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee models. The part numbers 13051, 78139, and RRH13051 are all compatible with this vehicle generation.
The Curt 13051 has a gross load capacity of 5,000 lbs. trailer weight and 500 lbs. tongue weight when used as a weight-carrying hitch, or 6,000 lbs. trailer weight and 600 lbs. tongue weight when used as a weight-distribution hitch. However, you must not exceed your vehicle manufacturer's recommended towing capacity, which may be lower.
The hitch weight is 38 lbs.
Yes. Step 1 of the installation instructions states: 'Remove tow hook if present.' This must be done before proceeding with hitch installation.
No. The manual explicitly states 'NO DRILLING REQUIRED.' The hitch uses existing M12 fastener holes in the vehicle frame.
The hitch includes 6 M12×1.75 hex cap head cap screws (HHCS), grade 10.9 (part number 10-10459) and 6 conical washers (part number 30-00149). Spacers (part number CM-SP25, 0.250 × 1.38 × 1.50 inch round hole) are also included but are only required on some vehicle models—not on vehicles equipped with skid shield supports.
Spacers are required on some 1999–2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee models but not on vehicles equipped with skid shield supports. If your vehicle has skid shield supports, you do not need spacers. If it does not, place the supplied spacers (part number CM-SP25) between the frame and hitch before installing the M12 hex bolts and conical washers.
The skid shield itself remains in place during installation. However, if your vehicle is equipped with skid shield support bolts, you must remove those support bolts to install the hitch. The four rearmost M12 fasteners from the vehicle frame are removed and then reinstalled as part of the hitch attachment.
The parts list includes a fuel filler hose listed as 'REPLACES EXISTING,' but the manual does not specify whether this replacement is required on all vehicles or only some models. Consult the vehicle-specific installation notes or contact Curt Manufacturing to confirm whether fuel filler hose replacement is necessary for your particular Jeep Grand Cherokee.
All M12 fasteners must be torqued to 79 lb.-ft. This applies whether spacers or support bars are used between the hitch and frame.
Step 2 instructs you to 'loosely reinstall' the four M12 fasteners after raising the hitch into position. All fasteners are then torqued to 79 lb.-ft. in Step 4, after spacers or support bars are in place. Do not fully tighten fasteners until Step 4.
Periodically check the receiver hitch to ensure that all fasteners are tight and that all structural components are sound. The manual does not specify a retorque interval or maintenance schedule beyond this periodic inspection.
Alteration to, misuse of, or improper installation of the hitch voids the warranty. The warranty covers defects in material and workmanship at the time of retail purchase by the original purchaser. If the product is found to be defective, Curt Manufacturing may repair or replace it at their option.
Yes, the Curt 13051 is designed for 1999–2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee. No drilling is required.
5,000 lbs. trailer / 500 lbs. tongue (weight-carrying) or 6,000 lbs. trailer / 600 lbs. tongue (weight-distribution). Do not exceed your vehicle manufacturer's towing capacity.
All M12 fasteners torque to 79 lb.-ft.
Spacers are required on some models but not on vehicles with skid shield supports. Check your vehicle configuration before installation.
No, no drilling is required. The hitch uses existing frame fastener holes.
The kit includes: one 30 amp auto-resetting circuit breaker, two #10 ring terminals, two 3/8" ring terminals, two 1/2" ring terminals, three 12-10 gauge butt connectors, 10 feet of 10 ga black/white duplex wire, 20 feet of 10 ga blue cross-linked wire, and eight 8.5" cable ties.
Yes, but with a critical difference: these vehicles require the stop signal wire to be spliced to the light green wire on the turn signal harness connector under the dash, not to the brake pedal switch. Do NOT connect to the red wire with green stripe, as serious damage may occur. All other vehicles connect to the brake pedal switch instead.
You will need: a test light, wire stripper/cutter, crimp tool, and 3/8" box end wrench. The test light is used to identify the cold (switched) side of the brake pedal switch.
Yes. The manual cautions to disconnect the tow vehicle's negative battery cable before installation. Reconnect it only in the final step after all wiring is complete.
Mount the 30 amp circuit breaker near the tow vehicle's positive battery terminal. This keeps the power wire run as short as possible and protects the circuit.
Use 10 gauge (10 ga) black wire from the duplex wire included in the kit. Strip 3/8" of insulation from each end. Crimp a #10 ring terminal to the end that attaches to the circuit breaker stud labeled 'BAT', and a 3/8" or 1/2" ring terminal (sized to fit your battery terminal) to the end that attaches to the positive battery terminal.
Feed the 10 ga duplex wire from the brake controller in the cockpit through the firewall into the engine compartment toward the battery. Cut to length as needed. At the battery end, crimp a 3/8" or 1/2" ring terminal to the white wire and a #10 ring terminal to the black wire. Attach the black wire to the circuit breaker stud labeled 'AUX' and tighten the nut with a 3/8" box end wrench.
When passing the duplex wire through the firewall into the engine compartment, use an existing grommet, add a new grommet, or fill the hole with silicone rubber to insulate and protect the wire. The same protection applies when passing the blue cross-linked wire through any sheet metal at the rear of the vehicle.
In the cockpit, attach the black duplex wire to the brake controller's battery wire (typically black) and the white duplex wire to the brake controller's ground wire (typically white). Use either one of the supplied yellow butt connectors or solder the leads together and insulate with heat shrink tubing.
Locate the brake pedal switch on the back side of the vehicle's brake pedal. Use a test light or volt meter to identify the 'cold' or switched side—this terminal will only show power when the brake pedal is depressed. Attach the stop signal wire (typically red) from the brake controller to the cold side of the switch using a wire tap.
Locate the semi-circle turn signal harness connector on the steering column under the dash. It has two rows of wires: a row of four and a row of seven. Attach the stop signal wire (typically red) from the brake controller to the light green wire using a wire tap. Do NOT connect to the red wire with green stripe, as serious damage may occur.
Feed the 10 ga blue cross-linked wire from the brake controller to the trailer connector at the rear of the vehicle, taking up any slack in the wire. When passing through any sheet metal, use an existing grommet, add a new grommet, or fill the hole with silicone rubber to protect the wire.
Attach the blue cross-linked wire to the brake controller's electric brake wire (typically blue) using one of the supplied yellow butt connectors or by soldering and insulating with heat shrink tubing. At the rear of the vehicle, trim any loose blue wire and attach it to the trailer connector's electric brake terminal. Refer to the trailer connector's wiring diagram for the correct terminal location.
Secure any loose wires with the cable ties provided. Connect the black power wire from the circuit breaker to the positive side of the battery. Connect the white ground wire from the brake controller to the negative side of the battery. Finally, reconnect the tow vehicle's negative battery cable to the battery.
The circuit breaker is 30 amps and auto-resetting. It must be mounted near the positive battery terminal and connected directly to the positive battery terminal via the included black 10 gauge wire.
Use a 3/8" box end wrench to tighten the nuts on the circuit breaker studs labeled 'BAT' and 'AUX'.
The kit includes 10 feet of 10 gauge black/white duplex wire for the battery and brake controller connections, and 20 feet of 10 gauge blue cross-linked wire for the electric brake signal to the trailer connector.
Black wire connects to the positive battery and circuit breaker. White wire connects to the brake controller ground and negative battery. Red wire is the stop signal wire from the brake controller. Blue wire is the electric brake signal wire. The manual notes these are 'typically' these colours but recommends confirming with your brake controller documentation.
Yes. You can solder the leads together and insulate with heat shrink tubing as an alternative to using the supplied yellow butt connectors. This applies to connections between the duplex wire and the brake controller wires, and between the blue cross-linked wire and the brake controller.
The black power wire must connect directly to the positive battery terminal via the 30 amp circuit breaker. Connecting to the fuse panel or any other accessory wiring may damage vehicle wiring and cause trailer brake failure. The circuit breaker protects the circuit and must be the only protection between the battery and the brake control system.
Do NOT connect the stop signal wire to the red wire with green stripe on the turn signal harness. Serious damage may occur. Connect only to the light green wire. Also, do not connect to the brake pedal switch on these vehicles; use the turn signal harness instead.
The kit is universal but requires an existing trailer connector and brake controller. 1989-1991 Ford E & F-Series with ABS use a different stop signal connection (turn signal harness instead of brake pedal switch). Consult your brake controller documentation for compatibility.
No drilling is required. The kit connects to existing components: the battery, brake controller, brake pedal switch (or turn signal harness on 1989-1991 Ford E & F-Series with ABS), and trailer connector.
Do NOT connect the stop signal wire to the red wire with green stripe on the turn signal harness—serious damage may occur. Connect to the light green wire instead, and do not use the brake pedal switch.
Connecting to the fuse panel or accessory wiring may damage vehicle wiring and cause trailer brake failure. The 30 amp circuit breaker must be the only protection between the battery and the brake control system.
Yes, the Curt 55349 is designed for Jeep Grand Cherokee vehicles in the SUVs, Mini & Full-Sized Vans category. Confirm your vehicle matches the application before purchasing.
The Curt 55349 is a custom wiring harness that provides trailer lighting connections for your Jeep Grand Cherokee. It includes a converter box and a 4-flat connector for towing applications.
You will need a Phillips screwdriver, flat blade screwdriver, and panel trim removal tool. A drill may be needed if a suitable existing screw is not available for the ground wire connection.
The black converter box should be adhered to a flat spot inside the vehicle near the taillight using the provided double-sided tape.
Open the tailgate and remove the driver-side access panel. Locate the vehicle taillight wiring harness connectors inside the access panel. Separate the connectors from the taillight housing carefully without damaging the locking tabs. Insert the custom wiring harness end with the yellow wire between the separated connectors, ensuring they are fully inserted with locking tabs in place. Repeat this process on the passenger side using the harness end with the green wire.
Remove the driver-side access panel, the rear scuff panel, cargo net brackets on both driver and passenger sides, and carefully pull out the rear trim panels on both sides of the tailgate.
Drilling may be required for the ground wire connection. You should first locate a suitable grounding point near the connector, such as an existing screw with nut in the vehicle frame. If no existing screw is available, you may need to drill a 3/32" pilot hole for the provided screw. Before drilling, check for hidden items behind or under any surface to avoid damage and personal injury.
If an existing screw is not available, drill a 3/32" pilot hole for the provided ground screw.
The battery connection must be fuse-protected with a 10-amp maximum fuse. Exceeding this rating can cause loss of warranty, overheating, and potential fire. Do not exceed the product rating or tow vehicle lamp load rating, whichever is lower.
Signal circuits are rated at 3.0 amps per side. Tail and running circuits are rated at 6.0 amps total.
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.
A 4-flat dust cover is provided to help prevent corrosion. Install it after completing the installation.
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 functions properly.
Before drilling, check for miscellaneous items that may be hidden behind or under any surface to avoid damage and personal injury. The grounding area should be free of rust, dirt, and paint.
The white ground wire should be secured to a suitable grounding point near the taillight connector, such as an existing screw with nut in the vehicle frame. Use the ring terminal and provided screw to secure it.
Yes, the Curt 55349 is designed for Jeep Grand Cherokee vehicles.
You need a Phillips screwdriver, flat blade screwdriver, and panel trim removal tool. A drill may be needed if no existing screw is available for grounding.
The battery connection must use a 10-amp maximum fuse. Do not exceed this rating or the tow vehicle lamp load rating.
Drilling may be required only if no existing screw is available for the ground wire connection. If needed, drill a 3/32" pilot hole.
The 4-way flat electrical adapter converts a vehicle's 4-way flat trailer connector to other trailer connector types (6-way round, 7-way RV blade, or dual 4-way flat). This allows you to tow trailers with different connector styles. Single-output models (57184, 57183, 57185, 57626, 57676) convert to one connector type; dual-output models (57604, 57624, 57672, 57674, 57102) provide two different connector outputs simultaneously.
Yes. Your vehicle must be equipped with a 4-way flat trailer connector. If your vehicle does not have one, you will need to install a custom wiring harness or other 4-way flat trailer connector before installing this adapter.
Both convert a 4-way flat connector to a 7-way RV blade. The difference is that 57185 includes a mounting bracket, while 57184 does not.
Both convert a 4-way flat connector to a 6-way round. The difference is that 57626 includes a mounting bracket, while 57183 does not.
Curt offers three dual-output models that provide both a 4-way flat and a 7-way RV blade output: part numbers 57672, 57674, and 57102. All three include a mounting bracket.
Curt offers two dual-output models that provide both a 4-way flat and a 6-way round output: part numbers 57604 and 57624. Both include a mounting bracket.
You will need: a 1/8" drill bit, drill, Phillips screwdriver, wire stripper, cutting tool, terminal crimpers, and a test light. The manual also lists three self-tapping screws (#10 - 1/2") as required, though these are not included with the product.
No. The three self-tapping screws (#10 - 1/2") used to attach the mounting bracket are not included and must be purchased separately.
Mount the combination harness in a location on the tow vehicle that is within reach of the trailer's wiring harness and near the center of the vehicle. The mounting bracket (if included) should be attached to the vehicle's bumper or other suitable surface.
Yes. You must drill two 1/8" holes: one for the grounding point and one (or more) for the mounting bracket. Before drilling, you must check for brake lines, fuel lines, wiring and other components that may be hidden behind or under the surface to avoid damage.
No. You must never attach the mounting bracket directly to the hitch by cutting, welding or drilling into the hitch. Mount it to the vehicle's bumper or other suitable surface instead.
The adapter uses four wires: Yellow (auxiliary or back-up lights), Blue (electric brakes), Black (positive power with appropriate inline fuse), and White (ground). All wires except black and white must be connected using 12 gauge (minimum) wire and butt connectors to the appropriate vehicle functions.
The white wire is the ground connection. It must be attached with a ring terminal to a 1/8" hole drilled in a suitable grounding point on the vehicle using a #10 - 1/2" self-tapping screw. This ground connection is required for the harness to work properly. The white wire on the vehicle's 4-way flat connector does not support the ground (-) functions of the combination harness.
Yes. The black wire (positive power) must be connected with an appropriate inline fuse. The manual does not specify the fuse amperage rating.
Use 12 gauge (minimum) wire for all connections. The manual specifies this minimum gauge for the remaining wires (yellow, blue, and black) when connecting to appropriate vehicle functions.
Failing to properly ground the product can cause loss of warranty, overheating and potential fire. The white wire must be securely attached to a clean grounding point using a #10 - 1/2" self-tapping screw in a 1/8" hole. The area must be clean of dirt, debris or undercoating.
Before drilling, you must check for brake lines, fuel lines, wiring and any other components that may be hidden behind or under the surface. Drilling into these components can cause damage and personal injury.
Do not exceed the product rating or the tow vehicle lamp load rating, whichever is lower. Exceeding either rating can cause damage or unsafe operation.
Confirm proper function with a test light or by using a properly functioning trailer. This verifies that all connections are working correctly before towing.
Secure any loose wires using cable ties or equivalent product to prevent them from moving, catching on components, or becoming damaged.
Your vehicle must have a 4-way flat trailer connector. If it does not, you will need to install a custom wiring harness or other 4-way flat connector first. Check the part number table to confirm the adapter converts to the connector type you need.
You must purchase three #10 - 1/2" self-tapping screws for the mounting bracket. You will also need an appropriate inline fuse for the black (positive power) wire; the manual does not specify the amperage.
Yes, you must drill two 1/8" holes: one for grounding and one for the mounting bracket. Before drilling, check for brake lines, fuel lines and wiring behind the surface. Never drill into the hitch.
Yellow = auxiliary/back-up lights; Blue = electric brakes; Black = positive power (needs inline fuse); White = ground (must be properly grounded or warranty is void and fire risk exists). Use 12 gauge minimum wire and butt connectors.
Proper grounding of the white wire is critical. Failing to ground it properly can cause loss of warranty, overheating and fire. The grounding point must be clean of dirt, debris and undercoating.
Test with a test light or by using a properly functioning trailer to confirm all connections work. Secure loose wires with cable ties.
