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 Compass (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.

The CURT Custom Wiring Harness, 4-Way Flat Output, Select Jeep Compass Trailer Connector Kit (Part #BKDK56472) Typical installation time is . Basic hand tools are typically all you need.
The Curt 56472 is a powered converter wiring harness designed for SUVs and vans. It converts vehicle taillight signals (left turn, right turn, brake, and tail/running lights) into a 4-flat trailer connector format. The system includes a converter box that processes these signals and routes them through custom wiring harnesses to the rear of the vehicle.
No. The Curt 56472 is designed specifically for SUVs and vans and must be used only on 12-volt negative ground electrical systems. Check your vehicle's electrical system before purchasing. The manual does not list specific vehicle models or years, so contact the manufacturer or consult your vehicle owner's manual to confirm compatibility with your specific vehicle.
You will need: ratchet, cutting tool, socket extension, wire crimper, Torx bit T-27, wire stripper, flathead screwdriver, and electrical tape. The manual also recommends an abrasive pad or paper to remove rust and paint from the grounding point, and you may need a drill with a 3/32" bit if a grounding point does not already exist on your vehicle frame.
The kit includes: custom wiring harnesses with yellow and green wire housings, a black converter box, a white ground wire with ring terminal, a ground screw, double-sided tape, zip ties, cable ties, a fuse holder with 10-amp maximum fuse, and butt connectors. Fish wire is not included but can be made from a cut-up wire hanger, stiff wire, rope or string.
Yes. You must disconnect the negative battery terminal before beginning installation and keep it fastened down and away from the battery throughout the installation process. This is a required safety step to prevent electrical shock and short circuits.
The manual rates the installation difficulty as 'Easy' based on time and effort involved. However, the actual difficulty may vary depending on your expertise level, your vehicle's condition, and whether you have the proper tools and equipment. The installation involves disconnecting the battery, removing taillights, routing wiring through the vehicle, drilling (if necessary), and making electrical connections. If you are not comfortable with these tasks, professional installation is recommended.
Fish wire is a tool used to push or pull electrical wire through a blind hole (a hole you cannot see through). For the Curt 56472, you route fish wire down between the bumper cover and vehicle body, then use tape to secure the harness to the fish wire and pull it back up. Fish wire can be made from a cut-up wire hanger, stiff wire, rope or string. If the harness gets hung up, you may need to push back down, wiggle it around, or twist the wire to loosen it.
The yellow wire housing connects to the driver side taillight. The green wire housing routes above the bumper mount and along the bumper to the passenger side, then above the passenger-side bumper mount. Both housings attach to the vehicle factory wiring and connect to the taillights. Zip ties are used to secure the green wire housing along the bumper as needed.
1. Open the rear hatch and locate the taillight trim cover. 2. Use a flathead screwdriver to open the taillight fastener covers. 3. Use a T-27 Torx bit to remove the screws (be careful not to lose them between the trim and taillight, as fasteners could be above the bumper or fall through to the floor). 4. Pull the taillight straight back. 5. Locate the vehicle taillight wiring connectors and separate them from the taillight housing, taking care not to damage the locking tabs. 6. Set the taillight aside. Repeat on the other side of the vehicle.
Not necessarily. On the driver side, locate an existing screw or bolt in the vehicle frame to use as a grounding point. If no suitable existing fastener is available, you may drill a 3/32" pilot hole. The area must be free from rust, dirt, and paint—use an abrasive pad or paper to clean it. Before drilling, check for miscellaneous items that may be hidden behind or under the surface to avoid damage and personal injury.
If you need to drill a grounding point for the white ground wire, drill a 3/32" pilot hole. The area should be free from rust, dirt, and paint before drilling. Use an abrasive pad or paper to clean the area.
The Curt 56472 has the following electrical ratings: Signal circuits (left turn and right turn) are rated at 3.0 amps per side, and Tail/Running circuits are rated at 6.0 amps total. Do not exceed the product rating 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. The kit includes a fuse holder with a 10-amp fuse. Install the fuse after all other installation steps are complete. Do not exceed 10 amps, as exceeding the product rating can cause loss of warranty, overheating, and potential fire.
Use 12-gauge wire or larger to route from the converter to the vehicle battery. The manual specifies '12 GA wire or larger' for the power connection. Route the 12 GA wire to the vehicle battery location, taking care to avoid any pinch points and hot or rotating components.
The converter uses the following wire colors: Green for right turn signal, Red for brake, Yellow for left turn signal, and Brown for tail/running lights. The white ground wire connects to the vehicle frame. The black power wire connects to the positive battery terminal. These colors are standard for the converter system and match the trailer light signal functions.
When passing the 12 GA 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 the wire insulation from being damaged, which could cause electrical shorts or fire.
Follow these safety precautions: (1) Disconnect the negative battery terminal and fasten it down and away from the battery. (2) Do not lay tools across the positive battery terminal, as this can cause a ground short, sparks, and/or electrical shocks. (3) Before drilling, check for miscellaneous items that may be hidden behind or under any surface to avoid damage and personal injury. (4) Route the 12 GA power wire to avoid pinch points and hot or rotating components. (5) Protect the power wire from sharp edges when passing through sheet metal. (6) Do not exceed the product rating or tow vehicle lamp load rating.
After installation, verify that the harness is functioning by attaching the 4-flat connector to any vehicle with functioning trailer lights. The taillights on the tow vehicle should function along with the taillights on the towing vehicle. You can also test for proper function using a test light or by connecting a properly wired trailer. Install the 10-amp fuse only after all other installation steps are complete and testing is ready to begin.
Periodic inspection of all wires and connections should be performed to ensure there is no visible damage or loose connections. Check the wiring harness, converter box, ground connection, and battery connection regularly. If you notice any damaged wires, loose connectors, or corrosion, address the issue immediately to prevent electrical failure or fire.
