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 Dodge Caliber, Dodge Durango and Jeep Patriot. 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 58959 is a wiring harness that connects your vehicle's lighting system to an RV or trailer. It provides signal circuits (6.0 amps per side) for turn signals and brake lights, and tail/running circuits (6.0 amps total) for taillights. The harness includes a 4-flat connector for trailer use and integrates with your vehicle's existing taillight wiring.
You will need: ratchet, ratchet extension, 10mm socket, 1/4" socket, 3/32" drill bit, panel trim removal tool, Phillips screwdriver, flat blade screwdriver, cutting tool, and fish wire. These tools are required to remove taillights, drill pilot holes, route the harness, and secure connections.
The kit includes the RV harness with yellow, brown, green and white wires; a 4-flat connector bracket; two screws for bracket mounting; a 3/32" pilot hole screw for grounding; cable ties for securing wires; and a 4-flat dust cover. The harness has separate connectors for driver and passenger side taillights.
Yes, drilling is required in two places. First, you must drill a 3/32" pilot hole for the ground wire screw near the taillight connectors (Step 9). Second, you must drill two 3/32" holes to mount the 4-flat bracket in the engine compartment (Step 12). Before drilling, check for hidden items behind or under surfaces to avoid damage or injury.
Yes, you must remove both taillight housings. On each side, remove two push fasteners, then gently push the taillight rearwards and use a soft pry tool on the leading edge to assist removal. The RV harness connectors are inserted between the vehicle's taillight connectors, then the taillight is reinstalled.
Route the 4-flat from underneath the vehicle along the brake lines from rear to front. Some trim cover panels may need removal. From inside the engine compartment, find the brake fluid reservoir and route a fish wire down along the brake lines. Secure the 4-flat to the fish wire at the driver front wheel well and pull it up into the engine compartment. Avoid areas with moving parts that could cut, pinch or burn wires.
The 58959 uses four wire colors: White is ground; Green is right turn/brake; Brown is taillights; Yellow is left turn/brake. The harness has separate connectors with yellow and brown wires for the driver side and green and brown wires for the passenger side. These connect to your vehicle's existing taillight connectors.
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 the tow vehicle lamp load rating, whichever is lower.
Signal circuits (turn signals and brake lights) are rated at 6.0 amps per side. Tail and running light circuits are rated at 6.0 amps total. Do not exceed these ratings or the tow vehicle lamp load rating, whichever is lower.
Before drilling, check for hidden items behind or under surfaces to avoid damage or personal injury. When routing the 4-flat harness, avoid areas with moving parts or that could cut, pinch or burn wires; failure to do so may cause property damage, personal injury or loss of life. Ensure the battery connection is fuse-protected with a 10-amp maximum fuse to prevent overheating and fire.
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 turn signals (left and right), brake lights, and taillights. If all functions work on the tow vehicle, the installation is complete. Store the 4-flat extension inside the vehicle when not in use.
Locate a suitable flat position in the engine compartment to mount the trailer end 4-flat bracket. Using the bracket as a template, mark the two holes and drill two 3/32" holes. Attach the bracket using the two provided screws. Before drilling, check for hidden items to avoid damage.
Locate a suitable grounding point near the taillight 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 hidden items to avoid damage.
After removing the taillight housing, locate the vehicle's taillight wiring harness connectors. Separate the connectors from the taillight housing, taking care not to damage the locking tabs. Insert the RV harness end (with yellow and brown wires on driver side, green and brown on passenger side) between the separated taillight connectors. Make sure the connectors are fully inserted with locking tabs in place. Secure any loose wires with provided cable ties.
Yes. The manual notes that the RV harness includes a connection point labeled 'For trailer tow use only: 4-flat harness required.' If you decide to leave your RV harness on the vehicle at all times and want to tow a trailer, simply plug in the 4-flat harness when needed. When not in use, store the 4-flat extension inside the vehicle.
After testing all functions and confirming they work on the tow vehicle, reinstall all items removed during installation. Install the provided 4-flat dust cover to help prevent corrosion. Use cable ties as needed to secure any loose wires throughout the harness routing.
