CURT custom wiring connectors are the easiest way to outfit your vehicle with a CURT trailer wiring connection. They are built with some of the most advanced technology in the industry, and each one is custom-fitted to work with a specific make and model. Some automotive manufacturers install a special socket on the vehicle to be used for vehicle-to-trailer wiring. Although this special socket is not equipped on every vehicle, a CURT custom wiring connector -- also called a T-connector -- utilizes the socket for simple, stress-free installation. Rather than requiring you to cut, splice and solder into your vehicle's wiring system, the custom wiring connector uses a single OEM-compatible plug and instantly provides a standard, universal vehicle-to-trailer wiring connection, typically in the form a 4-way flat. All CURT custom wiring connectors are made vehicle-specific for the easiest possible installation and the best fit. This particular plug-in connector provides a 4-way flat socket and is designed to be a custom wiring option for certain years of the Mitsubishi Outlander and Eclipse Cross (factory tow package required; to verify your vehicle compatibility, see application info). It comes with all necessary hardware to establish a solid connection. It also comes with a dust cover to keep the connector socket clean when not in use. To ensure long-lasting reliability, all CURT custom wiring connectors are thoroughly tested for optimal functionality. Stress is the last thing you should feel when towing a trailer -- whether you're hauling your RV to that favorite camping destination, your ATVs up to the hunting grounds or your fishing boat to the new hidden hotspot. At CURT, we think your towing equipment should add to the enjoyment of your experience, not detract from it.

The CURT Custom 4-Flat, Select Mitsubishi Outlander, OEM Tow Package Required Trailer Connector Kit (Part #BKDK56296) fits the following vehicles: 2018-2026 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross; 2016-2020 Mitsubishi Outlander. Always verify your specific year, make, and model before ordering.
The CURT Custom 4-Flat, Select Mitsubishi Outlander, OEM Tow Package Required Trailer Connector Kit (Part #BKDK56296) Typical installation time is 30-60 minutes. Basic hand tools are typically all you need.
Yes, the Curt 56296 Custom Wiring Connector is designed for the Mitsubishi Outlander in the SUVs, Mini & Full-Sized Vans category. However, your vehicle must have a factory trailer harness power wire connector in the engine compartment and a white tow/trailer housing in the rear cargo area. Check your vehicle owner's manual or contact the vehicle manufacturer to confirm your specific model year and trim level are equipped with these factory components.
The Curt 56296 has two amperage ratings: Signal Circuits are rated at 3.0 amps per side, and Tail/Running Circuits are rated at 6.0 amps total. You must not exceed the product rating or your tow vehicle's lamp load rating, whichever is lower. Exceeding the product rating can cause loss of warranty, overheating and potential fire.
You will need: 10mm socket, 14mm socket, ratchet, Phillips screwdriver, flat blade screwdriver, and a cutting tool. These tools are required to disconnect the battery, remove interior trim panels, secure fasteners, and route wiring.
Yes. The first step of installation is to locate the vehicle battery on the driver side under the hood and disconnect the negative battery terminal. You must reconnect it only after all other installation steps are complete, in Step 12.
The vehicle trailer harness power wire connector is located on the driver side in the engine compartment in front of the fuse box. It will be similar in appearance to the custom wiring connector. You will remove the cover and insert the custom wiring connector into it, ensuring the connectors are fully inserted with locking tabs in place.
You must use a 10-amp fuse. The battery connection must be fuse-protected with a 10-amp maximum. Insert the 10-amp fuse into the red fuse holder on the power harness. Do not exceed this rating, as it can cause loss of warranty, overheating and potential fire.
Route the power wire from the vehicle trailer harness connector to the battery positive (+) terminal, avoiding any areas that may cut or pinch the wire. Connect the ring terminal to the positive battery terminal. Secure any loose wires with the provided cable ties.
You must remove: all trunk floor coverings, the storage tray (after removing its fasteners), the scuff panel (by pulling out at the bottom then up, taking care not to damage alignment tabs), and the side trim panel on the driver side (after removing two Phillips screws and the cargo holder). The white tow/trailer housing will be visible after pulling outward on the side trim panel.
The white tow/trailer housing is located in the rear cargo area. To access it, open the tailgate, fold down the rear seats, remove trunk floor coverings and the storage tray, remove the scuff panel, and remove the side trim panel on the driver side by removing two Phillips screws and the cargo holder. Pull outward on the side trim panel to reveal the housing.
Insert the custom wiring connector housing into the vehicle tow/trailer housing. Make sure that the housings are fully inserted with the locking tabs in place. The connector will be similar in appearance to the vehicle housing.
You may be able to use an existing screw with nut in the vehicle frame as a grounding point. If no suitable existing point is available, you will need to drill a 3/32" pilot hole for the provided screw. The area should be free of rust, dirt and paint. Before drilling, check for miscellaneous items that may be hidden behind or under any surface to avoid damage and personal injury.
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. The area should be free of rust, dirt and paint. Secure the white ground wire using the ring terminal and the provided screw.
Locate a flat spot behind the side trim panel and adhere the black converter box using the provided double-sided tape. The converter box should be mounted in a location that does not interfere with the reinstallation of trim panels.
Route the 4-flat behind the rear trim panel to the back of the vehicle, under the removed scuff panel, to the center of the vehicle and out into the rear cargo area. When in use, route the 4-flat 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.
Reinstall all items removed during installation, including trunk floor coverings, storage tray, scuff panel and side trim panel. Reconnect the negative battery terminal. Install the provided 4-flat dust cover to help prevent corrosion. Test for proper function by using a test light or connecting a properly wired trailer.
Once installed, test for proper function by using a test light or connecting a properly wired trailer. All steps must be followed to ensure the wiring connector will function properly.
The maximum fuse rating is 10 amps. The battery connection must be fuse-protected, 10-amp max. Exceeding this rating can cause loss of warranty, overheating and potential fire.
Exceeding the product rating can cause loss of warranty, overheating and potential fire. You must not exceed the product rating (Signal Circuits 3.0 amps per side, Tail/Running Circuits 6.0 amps total) or your tow vehicle's lamp load rating, whichever is lower.
