Curt Manufacturing 55356 T-Connector Review

I bought this so I could tow my utility trailer with my 1997 Wrangler TJ. It arrived very fast for me, even with super saver shipping.
The install was really simple - you unplug each turn-signal assembly and insert the compatible connectors in between the factory wiring harness and the signal assembly. One wire needs to go to a ground. I used a bolt that holds on the fender flares.
My only complaint is that if you have one of the little LED trailer wiring testers, the tester gave misleading results with this harness. Mine was similar or identical to this:
Reese Towpower 74633 4-Way Tester
For instance, if I had the headlights on AND a turn signal, the tester wouldn't blink. However, when you hook up the actual trailer to this, everything works as expected so thats the important part. I spent a lot of time fiddling with the wiring based on this before I decided to just hook up the trailer and see how it operates. I've not had this trouble with the tester on other vehicles, and may be a fault of the tester more than the harness. Still, some mention of this in the instructions might have saved some time.
I would definitely buy this again.

Hopkins Plug-In Simple 42475 T Connector Wiring Kit Review

There is no cargo strap hook or screw to hold it on a 2005 Liberty Sport as specified in step 2 of the instructions, and the strap hooks on the cargo floor that hold the carpet down are riveted in. The simple answer is to just skip step 2 for a 2005 Liberty Sport and everything else is correct, and you don't have to remove the riveted-in strap hooks, but I got confused and didn't want to damage my Liberty so I gave up too soon. I left negative feedback on amazon.com and emailed my frustration to Support at Hopkins. They immediately emailed back that I should look again, which I did, and I removed the negative feedback because they were willing to work with me. The short version is that everything worked out fine. I installed it today, it was easy, and it works great. Hopefully, they will tweak their instructions but, bottom line, I had trouble and they came through. Another point not mentioned in the instructions: You can push the trailer end of the wiring through the access grommet and then press the cap that fills the grommet hole back down on top of the wiring to seal off the cargo area. Now I can honestly say that I have always used Hopkins wiring kits, and I have always been pleased. (Thanks, Frank.)

The harness shipped fast and was really easy to install (did it in 10 minutes on my lunch break). Used it to finish the install of a Reese pilot brake controller to a Ford F150.
