Call 888-634-9494Yes, the 95-98 JEEP Grand Cherokee CURT 4-flat Plug and Play Trailer Wiring (Part #CTW1559) is designed to fit the 1995-1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee.
The 95-98 JEEP Grand Cherokee CURT 4-flat Plug and Play Trailer Wiring (Part #CTW1559) fits the following vehicles: 1995-1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee. Always verify your specific year, make, and model before ordering.
The 95-98 JEEP Grand Cherokee CURT 4-flat Plug and Play Trailer Wiring (Part #CTW1559) fits 1995-1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee models. The 1998 model year is the last year covered by this part number. For newer models, check for an updated version.
The 95-98 JEEP Grand Cherokee CURT 4-flat Plug and Play Trailer Wiring (Part #CTW1559) Refer to the included instructions for installation details. Basic hand tools are typically all you need.
Part number 55260 is designed for 1995–1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee models. The installation procedure differs between 1995 and 1996–1998 models due to turn signal wire configuration changes. Verify your model year before purchasing.
Yes, the 55260 is compatible with 1995 Grand Cherokee. However, the turn signal wire configuration is different from 1996–1998 models. On 1995 models, the left turn signal (yellow wire) connects to the small black 4-pin plug, and the right turn signal (green wire) connects to the large grey plug. You may need to switch the turn signal wires on the T-connector before installation.
On 1996–1998 Grand Cherokee models, the right turn signal (green wire) connects to the small black 4-pin plug, and the left turn signal (yellow wire) connects to the large grey plug. This is the opposite of the 1995 configuration and may require switching the wires on the T-connector before installation.
The 55260 is a T-connector converter system that integrates with your Jeep Grand Cherokee's existing taillight wiring harness. It allows you to connect a trailer or auxiliary lighting system by tapping into the vehicle's turn signal and brake light circuits. The system includes a converter box, connectors, and a 4-flat wire for trailer connection.
The kit includes a T-connector with black 4-pin and grey connectors, a black converter box, double-sided tape, cable ties, a 4-flat wire, a white ground wire with ring terminal, a screw for ground attachment, a fuse holder with 10 amp fuse (maximum), and butt connectors. Additional items shown in the powered converter lead instruction sheet include 12 GA wire or larger for the power connection.
Yes. The kit does not include the 12 GA wire or larger needed to route from the converter to the vehicle battery. You must supply 12 GA wire or larger for the power connection. The manual specifies this wire must be routed to the positive battery terminal.
Yes. You must disconnect the negative battery cable before wiring the power wire to the converter. This is a critical safety step to prevent electrical shock and short circuits during installation.
The 55260 converter system is designed for use only on 12-volt negative ground electrical systems. Do not use this system on any other type of electrical system.
Open the rear hatch and remove the vehicle's rear scuff panel. On the passenger side, partially remove the rear trim panel to gain access to the vehicle's taillight wiring harness. The harness will have connectors similar to those on the T-connector.
Behind the trim panel, locate the small 4-pin connector taped to the existing wiring harness. Insert the T-connector's black 4-pin connector into the vehicle's connector, ensuring it is fully inserted with locking tabs in place. Separate the grey connectors without damaging the locking tabs. Insert the T-connector end with the grey connectors between the separated connectors, ensuring full insertion with locking tabs in place.
Adhere the black converter box to the frame of the car using the double-sided tape provided. Secure any loose parts of the T-connector with the cable ties provided.
Route the 4-flat wire out from under the rear trim panel and to the center of the vehicle and out the hatch when in use. When not in use, roll up and store in an out-of-the-way location in the rear cargo area.
You may need to drill a 3/32" hole to attach the ring terminal of the white ground wire to the vehicle body, depending on whether a suitable existing hole is available. Use the screw provided for attachment. Always verify that miscellaneous items are not hidden behind or under the surface before drilling to avoid damage and personal injury.
Use 12 GA wire or larger for the power connection from the converter to the vehicle battery. This wire must be routed to the positive battery terminal and secured to the vehicle chassis using the cable ties provided.
The T-connector uses the following wire colors: green for right turn signal, red for brake, yellow for left turn signal, and brown for taillight. The converter also includes a white ground wire with a ring terminal for vehicle body grounding.
The system uses a fuse holder with a 10 amp fuse maximum. Install the fuse after all other installation steps are complete. Do not exceed 10 amps.
When passing the power wire through sheet metal, use an existing grommet, add a new grommet, or use silicone to protect the power wire from sharp edges. This prevents damage to the wire insulation and potential electrical hazards.
Use a ring terminal for the battery connection. The white ground wire already includes a ring terminal; ensure the power wire also uses a ring terminal for secure and safe battery attachment.
Before drilling, verify that miscellaneous items are not hidden behind or under any surface. Check for wiring, fuel lines, brake lines, and other components that could be damaged. This prevents personal injury and property damage.
Route the 12 GA power wire to the vehicle battery location while taking care to avoid pinch points and hot or rotating components such as the engine fan, belts, or moving parts. Secure the power wire to the vehicle chassis using the cable ties provided to prevent contact with these hazards.
If using the converter as a powered module for a two-wire system, the red brake wire must be grounded. Ensure proper grounding to avoid electrical faults and unsafe trailer operation.
Yes, the 55260 is designed for 1995–1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee. Turn signal wire configuration differs between 1995 and 1996–1998 models; verify your model year and adjust wires if needed before installation.
You must purchase 12 GA wire or larger for the power connection from the converter to the battery. All other components, including connectors, tape, cable ties, fuse holder, and ground wire, are included.
Drilling may be required. You may need to drill a 3/32" hole for the ground wire attachment, depending on available mounting points. Always check for hidden items before drilling.
Use 12 GA wire or larger for the power connection. The system includes a 10 amp fuse maximum; install the fuse after all other steps are complete.
The 55260 is designed for 12-volt negative ground systems only. Do not use on any other electrical system type.
