If your vehicle is not equipped with wiring for towing a trailer, CURT custom wiring is the ideal solution. A custom wiring harness -- also called a T-connector -- is a simple, plug-and-play electrical device that plugs into your automotive electric system and provides a standard, universal trailer wiring connection. This is done using two or more vehicle-specific, OEM-compatible connectors to plug into the taillight assembly, eliminating the need for cutting, splicing and soldering during installation. Custom wiring harnesses are made vehicle-specific, and while they are not available for all vehicles, they do offer one of the fastest, easiest and most secure ways to wire a vehicle for towing. This particular plug-in harness provides a 4-way flat connector socket and is designed to be a custom wiring harness to fit certain years of the Jeep Cherokee (to verify your vehicle compatibility, see application info). It comes with all necessary wiring components to establish a reliable trailer wiring connection, as well as a dust cover to keep the connector clean when not in use. You have a picture in mind of your next destination -- maybe it's the boat landing at your favorite fishing spot, maybe it's a campsite that overlooks one of nature's masterpieces, or maybe it's the next big jobsite. However, turning that picture into a reality takes more than just daydreaming. It takes a solid connection and the right amount of power. CURT custom wiring is made with some of the most sophisticated technology in the industry and is designed to install with ease, giving you a long-lasting electrical connection for your towing hitch setup.

Yes, the Curt 56208 Custom Wiring Harness is designed for Jeep Cherokee SUVs. It is compatible with the S (SUV, Mini & Full-Sized Van) category vehicles.
The Curt 56208 is a custom wiring harness that provides connections for trailer lighting. It includes signal circuits rated at 3.0 amps per side and tail/running circuits rated at 6.0 amps total. The harness terminates in a 4-flat connector for trailer connection.
You will need a Phillips screwdriver, a T-15 Torx bit, and a T-27 Torx bit. A test light or properly wired trailer is also needed to test the harness after installation.
The harness includes a custom wiring harness with yellow and green wire ends, a black converter box, a white ground wire with ring terminal, a provided screw for grounding, double-sided tape for the converter box, a 4-flat dust cover, and cable ties for securing loose wires.
The manual does not explicitly state whether the battery must be disconnected before installation. However, it does specify that the battery connection must be fuse-protected with a 10-amp max fuse. Consult the included CME-PCL-INS sheet for battery connection details, or contact the manufacturer for safety guidance.
You must remove the tailgate, two cargo-tie down fasteners on each side, the storage holder on the driver side, the trunk floor cover, two Phillips screws securing the spare tire surround, T-15 Torx screws securing the cargo-tie down to the scuff panel, and the rear scuff panel. Then remove the two T-27 Torx screws securing each taillight housing.
Drilling may be required for the ground wire connection. You must locate a suitable grounding point near the taillight connector—either an existing screw with nut in the vehicle frame, or drill a 3/32" pilot hole for the provided screw. The area must be free of rust, dirt and paint. Before drilling, check for hidden items behind or under any surface to avoid damage and personal injury.
Yes. You must locate the grommet behind the taillight where the vehicle taillight wiring passes through, remove it, and cut a slit large enough to route the custom wiring harness through. After routing the harness, reseat the grommet using the provided sealant to seal the cut and around all wires.
The pilot hole size is 3/32". This hole is drilled only if a suitable existing screw with nut in the vehicle frame is not available for grounding the white ground wire.
The battery connection must be fuse-protected with a 10-amp max fuse. Exceeding this rating can cause loss of warranty, overheating and potential fire. Do not exceed the product rating or tow vehicle lamp load rating, whichever is lower.
Signal circuits are rated at 3.0 amps per side. Tail and running circuits are rated at 6.0 amps total. Do not exceed these ratings or the tow vehicle lamp load rating, whichever is lower.
The custom wiring harness has a yellow wire end that connects to the driver side taillight connector and a green wire end that connects to the passenger side taillight connector. The white wire is the ground wire. The black wire connects to the vehicle battery (see the included CME-PCL-INS sheet for routing details).
Route the custom wiring harness end with the yellow wire (driver side) or green wire (passenger side) out through the grommet opening and slit. Insert the harness end between the separated taillight connectors. Make sure the connectors are fully inserted with locking tabs in place. Repeat for the passenger side using the green wire end.
Locate a flat spot inside the vehicle near the taillight and adhere the black converter box using the provided double-sided tape.
Locate a suitable grounding point near the taillight connector, such as an existing screw with nut in the vehicle frame. If none is available, drill a 3/32" pilot hole. The area must be free of rust, dirt and paint. Secure the white ground wire using the ring terminal and provided screw.
When in use, route the 4-flat connector 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 functions properly before testing.
Do not exceed the product rating or tow vehicle lamp load rating, whichever is lower. The product is rated for signal circuits at 3.0 amps per side and tail/running circuits at 6.0 amps total. Check your vehicle owner's manual or contact the vehicle manufacturer for your specific tow vehicle lamp load rating.
Exceeding the product rating can cause loss of warranty, overheating and potential fire. Do not exceed the product rating or tow vehicle lamp load rating, whichever is lower.
Yes. When removing the taillight housing, carefully pull it rearward and take care not to damage the alignment tabs on the back. When separating the connectors from the taillight housing, take care not to damage the locking tabs.
Yes, the Curt 56208 is designed for Jeep Cherokee SUVs.
You need a Phillips screwdriver, T-15 Torx bit, and T-27 Torx bit. A test light or properly wired trailer is needed to test after installation.
Drilling may be required for the ground wire connection if no existing screw with nut is available in the vehicle frame. You would drill a 3/32" pilot hole. Cutting the grommet behind the taillight is required.
The battery connection must be fuse-protected with a 10-amp max fuse. Exceeding this can cause loss of warranty, overheating and potential fire.
