Installation of Curt Brake Controller Adapter

To install your Curt electric brake controller, you need to connect the wiring of the controller to your vehicle. Certain auto manufacturers offer pre-wired options, typically known as tow packages, wherein wiring is run for you from the dash to the trailer connector on the back of your vehicle. When this is done, a port is installed at your dash so that you can easily plug in a brake controller.


This adapter plugs into the port on your vehicle's built-in brake control wiring harness. The port is located in the wiring panel underneath the dash, to the left of the steering column, near the emergency brake pedal.


No hardwiring is required to install this adapter. After you plug it into the factory port, you simply plug the other end of the adapter directly into your electric trailer brake controller. Because there are no wires to connect, installation is not permanent. You can unplug and remove your brake controller at any time to transfer it to another vehicle or securely stow it away.

Speaker 1: Today we're taking a look at the Curt Custom Wiring Adapter for Trailer Brake Controllers. This is designed for the Acura MDX. The plug-in wiring adaptor allows for quick, simple installation of your electric trailer brake controller. There's no cutting or splicing required. The custom connector end plugs into the built-in port beneath the dash of your vehicle. The other end plugs into the back of your electric brake controller.

Now, this is compatible with time-delayed and proportional brake controllers from Curt. The brake controller must have a built-in port for the adapter, or a built-in plug for the adapter to connect to.

It has a protective wire loom to cover up the wires to keep them bundled together and to deter any type of damage.

It also comes with a few cable ties. That way you can secure the harness up out of the way. That's going to do it for today's look at the Curt Custom Wiring Adapter for Trailer Brake Controllers. Speaker 2: Give me something inaudible 00:01:02.

  • Troubleshooting a Curt Spectrum That Does not Go Through Calibration Sequence
    There could be a couple of reasons why your Curt Spectrum # C51170 is not calibrating, but it's likely due to your wiring.
