The installation process for the Curt Powered Tail Light Converter with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # C59236 varies somewhat depending on what vehicle you have. You will start by locating the vehicle battery and disconnecting the negative battery terminal.

From there, you will locate your vehicle taillight wiring and identify the wiring type. Using snap locks, you will attach the input wires of the taillight converter to the corresponding vehicle harness wires you previously identified. Next, you will located a flat spot inside the vehicle near the taillights and attach the black converter box.

Locate a suitable grounding point near the connector such as an existing screw with nut in the vehicle frame or drill a 3/32" pilot hole for the provided screw. The area should be free of rust, dirt and paint. Secure the white ground wire using the ring terminal and provided screw.

Once this is completed you will need to route the 12 GA wire to the positive vehicle battery terminal and attach it using the ring terminal. You will also need to install the 15 amp fuse in the fuse holder once all other steps are complete. See the diagram below which shows how to complete this.

I have attached the written instructions as well as an installation video for your reference. You will need to refer to the wiring guides in the instructions which give additional information based on your wiring type.
