The Curt 56038 has two circuit ratings: Signal Circuits are rated at 3.0 amps per side, and Tail/Running Circuits are rated at 6.0 amps total.

The driver side vehicle wiring connector routes under the trim panel up to the junction box inside the removed driver side rear access door. The custom wiring connector inserts into the receptacle in the junction box.
Locate a suitable grounding point near the connector, such as an existing screw with nut in the vehicle frame. If no suitable point exists, drill a 3/32" pilot hole for the provided screw. The area must be free of rust, dirt and paint. Secure the white ground wire using the ring terminal and provided screw.
