The 14-20 Mitsubishi Outlander CURT 4-flat Plug and Play Trailer Wiring (Part #CTW1988) fits 2014-2020 Mitsubishi Outlander models. The 2020 model year is the last year covered by this part number. For newer models, check for an updated version.
The 14-20 Mitsubishi Outlander CURT 4-flat Plug and Play Trailer Wiring (Part #CTW1988) Refer to the included instructions for installation details. Basic hand tools are typically all you need.
The Curt 56189 fits Mitsubishi Outlander models, excluding the Sport variant. It is designed for SUVs, Mini and Full-Sized Vans (S category). If you have an Outlander Sport, this harness is not compatible. Check your vehicle's specific trim level before purchasing.
The Curt 56189 has a maximum amperage rating of 3.0 amps per side for signal circuits and 6.0 amps total for tail/running circuits. The battery connection must be fuse-protected with a 10-amp maximum fuse. Do not exceed the product rating or your tow vehicle's lamp load rating, whichever is lower.
The battery connection must be fuse-protected with a maximum 10-amp fuse. Exceeding this rating can cause loss of warranty, overheating, and potential fire. Do not exceed the product rating or your tow vehicle's lamp load rating, whichever is lower.
You will need a Phillips screwdriver, a flat blade screwdriver, and a panel trim removal tool. These are the only tools specified in the installation instructions.
The installation instructions do not specify whether the battery must be disconnected before beginning installation. Contact Curt Manufacturing or your vehicle manufacturer for this safety requirement before starting work.
Drilling may be required. Step 5 instructs you to locate a suitable grounding point near the connector, such as an existing screw with nut in the vehicle frame, or drill a 3/32" pilot hole for the provided screw if no existing point is available. Before drilling, check for miscellaneous items hidden behind or under any surface to avoid damage and personal injury.
The custom wiring harness end with the yellow wire is inserted between the separated taillight connectors on the driver side. The connectors must be fully inserted with locking tabs in place. This is done after removing the plastic side wall panels to access the vehicle's taillight wiring harness connectors.
The custom wiring harness end with the green wire is routed to the passenger side behind the removed scuff panels and inserted between the separated taillight connectors on the passenger side, following the same procedure as the yellow wire on the driver side (Steps 3-4).
The black converter box must be adhered using the provided double-sided tape to a flat, clean surface that is out of the path of spray and debris from the rear wheels and road. Failure to mount the box in a protected area can cause loss of warranty, product failure, overheating, and potential fire.
When in use, route the 4-flat 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.
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. Testing confirms that the connections are secure and the harness is operating correctly.
The Curt 56189 includes a custom wiring harness with yellow and green wire ends, a black converter box, a white ground wire with ring terminal and provided screw, double-sided tape for mounting the converter box, a 4-flat dust cover, and cable ties for securing loose wires.
The ground wire is white. It is secured using the ring terminal and provided screw to a suitable grounding point near the connector, such as an existing screw with nut in the vehicle frame, or to a 3/32" pilot hole drilled in the frame if no existing point is available.
If no existing screw with nut is available in the vehicle frame, drill a 3/32" pilot hole for the provided ground screw. The area should be free of rust, dirt, and paint before securing the white ground wire.
You must remove the tailgate floor and cloth roll cover, the plastic floor liner, the scuff panel, and the plastic side panels (three Phillips screws per side). On the passenger side, also remove the inspection cover from the side panel. These removals provide access to the taillight wiring harness connectors.
There are three Phillips screws securing the plastic side panels on each side (driver and passenger) of the hatch. Take care not to damage the alignment tabs on the back of the scuff panel when removing it.
