• Installing Tekonsha Brake Controller On A 2020 GMC Savana Cutaway
  I can definitely point you in the right direction. These Savana models can be tricky when installing a dash mount brake controller. If the vehicle has the factory tow package with a 7 way plug, there should be a blue wire for output run under the dash. It would be located near the emergency brake pedal. Some models will have the connection wiring taped and tucked under the driver side floor mat up towards the firewall. Those wires would be labeled which is which, but may not be color coded. If...

• Where are the Towing Light Fuses on a 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  I checked the owner's manual for your 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee and found all of the locations you need to check that relate to the trailer lights. There are several so it is certainly possible that you missed a few but I don't see any relays. These fuses are all located in the power distribution center (PDC) or aka fuse block under the bonnet next to the engine. There may also be fuses in the interior fuse panel but I was not able to look the locations up for you. F29 20 Amp Blue – Trailer...

• Troubleshooting Trailer Wiring that the Turn Signals Activate with Blinkers
  The issue you are experiencing is due to the fact that your trailer has separate trailer wiring circuits, meaning the turn signals and the brake lights are on separate bulbs and the trailer wiring harness # C56496 you installed is designed to operate combined trailer taillights, meaning the turn signals and brake lights are on the same bulb. What you are going to need to do is install the taillight signal converter part # 118158 on the wiring of your trailer. Once installed the red wire...

  Hello Ry, thanks for reaching out. The Curt # C59236 is exactly what you will need for your 2011 Ford Crown Victoria LX.

• Is the Curt T-Connector C55362 Correct for a 2003 Nissan Frontier
  This issue you are having with the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness part # C55362 sounds like there is too much power being pushed though the circuit according to my contact at Curt. We have also had similar issues with this wiring harness before as well on a 2003 Nissan Frontier. Therefore, the best option for you would be to use the Curt Upgraded Circuit Protected Powered Tail Light Converter part # C56496 instead which is powered so you don't have to worry about overloading the...

• Troubleshooting No Brake Lights After Curt 4-Way Flat Installation
  Hi James; when you have power running into the converter but not coming out that typically indicates it is a bad converter. The one thing I would check is the ground connection. Make sure it is secure on a clean, bare-metal surface. If the ground doesn't make a difference I would see about replacing it since it is under warranty. Also, did you install the # 55151 with the wiring harness? You need the in-line fuse to keep it protected.

• Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2012 GMC Savana Cutaway Short Bus
  Hey Mike, thanks for reaching out! Since your 2012 GMC Savana has a bus body on top of the frame, a standard custom-style hitch receiver that bolts on most likely won't fit. We don't have the exact specs, but typically the body hangs down too low and the receiver won't clear it. You're more than welcome to have a local shop verify this (see linked installer locator), but I can pretty much guarantee they will opt for a weld-on universal one like the Draw-Tite # 41990-07. As far as wiring...

• Troubleshooting 2011 Ford Mustang Curt Wiring Without a Solid Ground
  Hey John, thanks for reaching out! When you say the pins on the Curt 4-Way Flat Trailer Connector # C56496 are solid, do you mean they light up the light on your tester except the ground? The ground pin won't show power, but could pose an issue if you're testing for continuity and not getting a great reading. If you can give me a little more insight I'd be more than happy to help you continue to troubleshoot!

• How to Convert 4-Way for European Trailer With Separate Turn Signals and Brakes
  Hey Rick! The solution for your wiring is not on the vehicle side and this is not bi-directional. You will still use a standard 4-way like the Curt # C56496 for the vehicle (any 4-way will work). On the trailer side you want to install the Curt 2-to-3 Tail Light Converter # C56196. This will separate the turn signals and brake light so the trailer lights will work with any vehicle. What kind of trailer do you have?

• IS There a 4-Way Trailer Wiring Kit for a 1990 Toyota Hilux Diesel Import from Japan
  Hey Albert! While we don't have any custom wiring kits for your 1990 Toyota Hilux diesel import, we might still have some universal-type options that will work. The Curt 4-Way Flat Trailer Connector # C56496 is a splice-in wiring kit that's more of a standard, but if you're wanting to avoid cutting into your wiring you'll want to go with the ZCI Kit # 119251 which acts the same way, but just clamps around your wiring so you don't have to cut anything. With these kits you just need to...

• Curt 4 Flat Trailer Wiring only Getting 4-5 Volts When Testing Blinker Output.
  Hello Greg. The first thing I would suggest to do is to check the ground, but it sounds like you already did that. When you tested the voltage of the blinkers, were the blinkers on (green wire, right turn; yellow wire, left turn)? You should be getting about 12 volts, not 4-5. Sounds like the brakes (red wire) is working just fine at 12 volts. If that is the case, you definitely have a bad converter (controller box). Unfortunately, these do go out. The Curt 4-Way Flat Trailer Connector...

• How do I Convert My 6 Round to a 7 Way, and Have a 4 Flat on the Back of My 1997 F53?
  Hello Ryan, Yes, we do have some options for you. It really depends on how the 6 round is wired in. The Curt Trailer Connector Adapter - 4-Way to 7-Way RV and 4-Way Flat # C57672 will get the 7 blade, and 4 flat connectors on the back of your 1997 Ford F-53. If you look at how it installs you have to connect it to the 4 flat, I am not sure if your 6 round has the same kind of installation. So if needed, you might need to install the Curt 4-Way Flat Trailer Connector with Circuit Protected...

• Troubleshooting Curt 4-Way Not Working After Installation With 30 Amp Fuse
  Installing a 30 amp fuse would only be a problem for the # C56496 if there was too much of a power draw which could damage the converter. This has a higher rating so it would take more to blow the fuse. I recommend reinstalling a 10 amp fuse like the one that originally comes with it. Curt would have included a fuse with a higher rating if a higher load was safe. I'm not sure what part of the wiring harness isn't working so I would swap out that fuse and then double check all of your...

• Troubleshooting a Curt 4-Way Harness with No Output Voltage
  What you will want to do is test the wires going into the box of the Curt Wiring Harness part # C56496 for voltage with a circuit tester like the # PTW2993 to see if there is voltage going into the box when the taillight functions of your vehicle are applied, and then test the output side of the box to see if the current is making it through the converter. If not then the problem is that the converter box has shorted itself out and would need to be replaced. Before you replace it you will...

• Testing Trailer Wiring Converter Box to Determine if it is Damaged
  If the trailer wiring was working properly why do you need to run that additional wire to the converter? It sounds like that is the problem. Only one source for the right turn and stop light circuit is needed. What you will want to do is test the wires going into the box of the converter box for voltage with a circuit tester like the # 3808 to see if there is voltage going into the box when the taillight functions of your vehicle are applied, and then test the output side of the box to...

• How to Replace Just the Converter Box of a Curt Trailer Wiring Harness
  You could cut the old converter box out of your # C56164 and then install the converter box of part # C56496 in it's place. Normally we recommend to check the trailer wiring for any shorts and fix as necessary before connecting new trailer wiring so that the new box doesn't short as well. But since your trailer is brand new and works with your other vehicle you would most likely be fine.
