Towing your vehicle behind your RV is a great way to experience more of the adventure on your cross-country excursions. Whether you're towing a compact car or a full-size truck, CURT has the perfect solution to help you Bring It! CURT towed-vehicle RV harnesses are a vehicle-specific, plug-and-play solution to wiring your vehicle for dinghy towing. They use original-equipment-compatible connectors to plug into your vehicle's wiring system without any cutting, splicing or soldering required. They provide a standard 4-way flat connector to plug into the RV socket and synchronize the vehicle's tail lights, turn signals and brake lights with the RV's. Because each towed-vehicle RV harness has a vehicle-specific design, installation is fast and easy. This particular RV dinghy towing wiring harness is designed for specific years of the Jeep Compass. CURT RV harnesses are also built to provide long-lasting operation. They feature integrated block diodes that protect the vehicle's circuits from the RV signals. They isolate the sensitive vehicle electronics, keeping them from overheating and short circuiting. Every CURT towed-vehicle RV harness comes ready to install with all necessary hardware included. They also come with a 4-way flat extension to provide plenty of length to plug into the RV socket, as well as a connector mounting bracket to mount the connector on the vehicle.

The Curt 58958 is an RV harness wiring kit designed to connect a Jeep Compass to an RV for towing. It provides electrical connections for trailer lighting functions including left and right turn signals, brake lights, and tail lights. The harness includes a 4-flat connector that plugs into the RV, and integrates with the vehicle's factory taillight wiring at the rear.
Yes, the Curt 58958 is designed for the Jeep Compass. The manual lists it as compatible with SUVs, Mini & Full-Sized Vans category vehicles, with the Compass specifically named in the applications section.
The manual does not specify compatibility with factory towing packages or integrated brake controllers. Contact Curt Manufacturing or your vehicle manufacturer to confirm compatibility with any factory towing equipment already installed on your Compass.
You will need: ratchet, ratchet extension, 8mm socket, T-30 Torx bit, flat blade screwdriver, fish wire, and a panel trim removal tool. These tools are required to remove taillight assemblies, disconnect factory connectors, route the harness, and secure the 4-flat bracket.
The kit includes: RV harness with yellow and brown wires (driver side), RV harness with green and brown wires (passenger side), white ground wire with ring terminal, 4-flat bracket with two screws, 4-foot RV extension harness, cable ties, provided screw for grounding, and a 4-flat dust cover. The kit also includes a 3/32" pilot hole screw for grounding.
The manual does not specify whether the battery must be disconnected before installation. Contact Curt Manufacturing or consult your Jeep Compass owner's manual for guidance on electrical system safety before beginning work.
The manual provides step-by-step installation instructions for a DIY installation. However, the manual does not explicitly state whether professional installation is recommended. If you are not comfortable working with vehicle electrical systems or performing the drilling and routing steps, consult a professional installer.
Open the rear hatch. Using a flat screwdriver, remove the plastic caps covering the screws securing the taillight assemblies. Remove the fasteners from the taillight. Using a soft pry tool on the leading edge, gently pull the taillight away from the vehicle. Take care not to damage the locking tabs on the factory wiring connectors when separating them from the taillight housing.
Route the RV harness end with the yellow and brown wires (driver side) or green and brown wires (passenger side) up from underneath the vehicle through the opening below the removed taillight. Insert the RV harness end between the separated factory connectors. Make sure the connectors are fully inserted with locking tabs in place. Secure any loose wires with the provided cable ties.
Driver side: yellow and brown wires. Passenger side: green and brown wires. The 4-flat extension harness uses: White for ground, Green for right turn/brake, Brown for taillights, and Yellow for left turn/brake. The white ground wire is routed separately to a vehicle frame grounding point.
From underneath the vehicle, route the trailer-side 4-flat to the front of the vehicle along the brake lines from rear to front. Some trim cover panels may need to be removed to route the 4-flat under the vehicle. Secure loose wires with provided cable ties. Avoid areas containing moving parts that could cut, pinch or burn the wires. Use fish wire to pull the 4-flat up through the driver-side wheel well into the engine compartment.
Yes, two 3/32" pilot holes must be drilled to mount the 4-flat bracket in the engine compartment. Additionally, a 3/32" pilot hole may be drilled for the ground wire screw if a suitable existing screw with nut is not available on the vehicle frame. Before drilling, check for miscellaneous items hidden behind or under surfaces to avoid damage and personal injury.
Drill two 3/32" pilot holes for the 4-flat bracket mounting screws in the engine compartment. Drill one 3/32" pilot hole for the ground wire screw if an existing screw with nut is not available on the vehicle frame. Before drilling, check for miscellaneous items hidden behind or under surfaces to avoid damage and personal injury.
Yes, some trim cover panels may need to be removed to route the 4-flat harness under the vehicle from rear to front. Additionally, it may be necessary to remove clips and/or screws from the wheel well cover to route the fish wire and pull the 4-flat up into the engine compartment. All removed items must be reinstalled after installation is complete.
Signal circuits (left and right turn/brake): 6.0 amps per side. Tail/Running circuits: 6.0 amps total. Do not exceed these product ratings or the tow vehicle lamp load rating, whichever is lower. Exceeding the product rating can cause loss of warranty, overheating and potential fire.
The battery connection must be fuse-protected with a 10-amp maximum fuse. Do not exceed this rating. Exceeding the product rating can cause loss of warranty, overheating and potential fire.
Locate a suitable grounding point near the connector, such as an existing screw with nut in the vehicle frame. If no suitable point exists, drill a 3/32" pilot hole for the provided screw. The area should 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 surfaces.
The 4-foot RV extension harness connects the 4-flat bracket mounted on the tow vehicle to the RV. One end plugs into the 4-flat mounted in the vehicle engine compartment, and the other end plugs into the RV. When not in use, store the 4-flat extension inside the vehicle.
Yes, the RV harness can be left on the vehicle at all times. The harness includes a connection point labeled 'For trailer tow use only: 4-flat harness required.' If you want to tow a trailer while the RV harness is permanently installed, simply plug in the 4-flat harness.
Avoid areas containing moving parts that could cut, pinch or burn the wires when routing the 4-flat harness to the front of the vehicle. Check for miscellaneous items hidden behind or under any surface before drilling to avoid damage and personal injury. Failure to follow these warnings may cause property damage, personal injury or loss of life.
Do not exceed the product rating: Signal circuits 6.0 amps per side, Tail/Running circuits 6.0 amps total. Also do not exceed the tow vehicle lamp load rating, whichever is lower. Exceeding these limits can cause loss of warranty, overheating and potential fire. The battery connection must be fuse-protected with a 10-amp maximum fuse.
With the 4-flat extension plugged into the RV harness on one end and the RV on the other, perform a function test. These functions will only work on the brake/taillight combination lamp. Test all lighting functions (left turn, right turn, brake, and tail lights) to ensure proper operation. All steps must be followed to ensure the wiring harness functions properly.
Reinstall all items removed during installation. Install the provided 4-flat dust cover to help prevent corrosion. Secure any loose wires to the vehicle crossmember using the provided cable ties. Perform a function test by plugging the 4-flat extension into both the vehicle and RV, and test all lighting functions (left turn, right turn, brake, and tail lights).
Install the provided 4-flat dust cover to help prevent corrosion. When not in use, store the 4-flat extension inside the vehicle. The manual does not specify other maintenance requirements. For additional maintenance guidance, contact Curt Manufacturing or consult your vehicle owner's manual.
