Yes, part number 13651 is designed for Ford Escape, Mazda Tribute, and Mercury Mariner vehicles equipped with OEM hitches. Verify your vehicle has an OEM hitch before purchasing, as this hitch is specifically for vehicles with existing factory hitches.
Yes, the Curt 13651 is compatible with Mazda Tribute and Mercury Mariner vehicles that have OEM hitches. This hitch is designed for all three vehicle models: Ford Escape, Mazda Tribute, and Mercury Mariner.
No. The Curt 13651 is specifically designed for vehicles with OEM hitches. The installation procedure relies on existing weldnuts in the frame rails that are present only on vehicles with factory hitches.
The kit includes: two 1/2-13 UNC carriage bolts (10-10272), two 0.250 x 1.00 x 3.00" square hole spacers (CM-SP6), two 1/2" conical tooth washers (30-00149), two 1/2-13 UNC hex nuts (20-00171), two 0.250 x 1.00 x 2.00" square hole spacers (CM-SP7), four 9/16" conical tooth washers (30-00164), four M14x2 40mm hex cap screws grade 10.9 (10-10404), and two 1/2" fishwires (1_2 FISHWIRE).
Yes. You must remove the existing electrical bracket by removing two screws and rotating the bracket 180 degrees, repositioning the connector to face toward the rear of the vehicle. This is step 1 of the installation procedure.
Yes. Drilling is required. You must drill the driver side frame rail to allow the spacer and bolt to pass through. The manual indicates this is necessary to enlarge the existing frame rail holes.
Possibly. If your vehicle is equipped with an exhaust vibration dampener that interferes with the side plate, you will need to bend or pry the dampener away from the side plate as needed. The manual notes this may be required but is not necessary for all vehicles.
Follow these steps: (1) Remove four existing bolts from inside frame rails and relocate the electrical bracket by removing two screws and rotating it 180 degrees. (2) Use fishwire to pull the carriage bolts and spacers through the enlarged frame rail holes into position. (3) Raise the hitch into position and install conical tooth washers and hex bolts into existing weldnuts. (4) Torque all 1/2" hardware to 110 ft-lbs, then torque all M14 hardware to 126 ft-lbs.
The fishwire is used to pull the carriage bolts and spacers through the previously enlarged frame rail holes and into position. Two 1/2" fishwires are included in the kit for this purpose.
All 1/2" hardware must be torqued to 110 ft-lbs. This includes the 1/2-13 UNC carriage bolts and hex nuts. The 1/2" hardware must be tightened first, before the M14 hardware.
All M14 hardware must be torqued to 126 ft-lbs. This includes the M14x2 40mm hex cap screws grade 10.9. The M14 hardware must be tightened second, after the 1/2" hardware has been torqued to 110 ft-lbs.
The manual does not provide specific capacity values. However, it states: "DO NOT EXCEED VEHICLE MANUFACTURER'S RECOMMENDED TOWING CAPACITY." You must consult your vehicle's owner manual or the manufacturer for the maximum towing capacity your vehicle supports.
Periodically check the receiver hitch to ensure that all fasteners are tight and that all structural components are sound. The manual does not specify a particular interval, so regular visual inspection before towing is recommended.
Curt Manufacturing warrants this product to be free of defects in material and/or workmanship at the time of retail purchase by the original purchaser. If the product is found to be defective, Curt may repair or replace it at their option when returned prepaid with proof of purchase. Warranty is voided by alteration, misuse, or improper installation.
Yes, the Curt 13651 is designed for Ford Escape, Mazda Tribute, and Mercury Mariner vehicles with OEM hitches. Your vehicle must have a factory hitch for this product to fit.
Yes, drilling is required to enlarge the driver side frame rail holes. Exhaust bracket modification may also be needed if an exhaust vibration dampener interferes with the side plate.
Torque all 1/2" hardware to 110 ft-lbs first, then torque all M14 hardware to 126 ft-lbs. Tighten in this sequence.
The manual does not specify required tools. Based on the hardware included (carriage bolts, hex nuts, hex cap screws) and the need for drilling, you will need a drill, torque wrench, and standard wrenches or sockets for 1/2" and M14 fasteners. Contact Curt Manufacturing for a complete tool list.
The kit includes: one 30 amp auto-resetting circuit breaker, two #10 ring terminals, two 3/8" ring terminals, two 1/2" ring terminals, three 12-10 gauge butt connectors, 10 feet of 10 ga black/white duplex wire, 20 feet of 10 ga blue cross-linked wire, and eight 8.5" cable ties.
Yes, but with a critical difference: these vehicles require the stop signal wire to be spliced to the light green wire on the turn signal harness connector under the dash, not to the brake pedal switch. Do NOT connect to the red wire with green stripe, as serious damage may occur. All other vehicles connect to the brake pedal switch instead.
You will need: a test light, wire stripper/cutter, crimp tool, and 3/8" box end wrench. The test light is used to identify the cold (switched) side of the brake pedal switch.
Yes. The manual cautions to disconnect the tow vehicle's negative battery cable before installation. Reconnect it only in the final step after all wiring is complete.
Mount the 30 amp circuit breaker near the tow vehicle's positive battery terminal. This keeps the power wire run as short as possible and protects the circuit.
Use 10 gauge (10 ga) black wire from the duplex wire included in the kit. Strip 3/8" of insulation from each end. Crimp a #10 ring terminal to the end that attaches to the circuit breaker stud labeled 'BAT', and a 3/8" or 1/2" ring terminal (sized to fit your battery terminal) to the end that attaches to the positive battery terminal.
Feed the 10 ga duplex wire from the brake controller in the cockpit through the firewall into the engine compartment toward the battery. Cut to length as needed. At the battery end, crimp a 3/8" or 1/2" ring terminal to the white wire and a #10 ring terminal to the black wire. Attach the black wire to the circuit breaker stud labeled 'AUX' and tighten the nut with a 3/8" box end wrench.
When passing the duplex wire through the firewall into the engine compartment, use an existing grommet, add a new grommet, or fill the hole with silicone rubber to insulate and protect the wire. The same protection applies when passing the blue cross-linked wire through any sheet metal at the rear of the vehicle.
In the cockpit, attach the black duplex wire to the brake controller's battery wire (typically black) and the white duplex wire to the brake controller's ground wire (typically white). Use either one of the supplied yellow butt connectors or solder the leads together and insulate with heat shrink tubing.
Locate the brake pedal switch on the back side of the vehicle's brake pedal. Use a test light or volt meter to identify the 'cold' or switched side—this terminal will only show power when the brake pedal is depressed. Attach the stop signal wire (typically red) from the brake controller to the cold side of the switch using a wire tap.
Locate the semi-circle turn signal harness connector on the steering column under the dash. It has two rows of wires: a row of four and a row of seven. Attach the stop signal wire (typically red) from the brake controller to the light green wire using a wire tap. Do NOT connect to the red wire with green stripe, as serious damage may occur.
Feed the 10 ga blue cross-linked wire from the brake controller to the trailer connector at the rear of the vehicle, taking up any slack in the wire. When passing through any sheet metal, use an existing grommet, add a new grommet, or fill the hole with silicone rubber to protect the wire.
Attach the blue cross-linked wire to the brake controller's electric brake wire (typically blue) using one of the supplied yellow butt connectors or by soldering and insulating with heat shrink tubing. At the rear of the vehicle, trim any loose blue wire and attach it to the trailer connector's electric brake terminal. Refer to the trailer connector's wiring diagram for the correct terminal location.
Secure any loose wires with the cable ties provided. Connect the black power wire from the circuit breaker to the positive side of the battery. Connect the white ground wire from the brake controller to the negative side of the battery. Finally, reconnect the tow vehicle's negative battery cable to the battery.
The circuit breaker is 30 amps and auto-resetting. It must be mounted near the positive battery terminal and connected directly to the positive battery terminal via the included black 10 gauge wire.
Use a 3/8" box end wrench to tighten the nuts on the circuit breaker studs labeled 'BAT' and 'AUX'.
The kit includes 10 feet of 10 gauge black/white duplex wire for the battery and brake controller connections, and 20 feet of 10 gauge blue cross-linked wire for the electric brake signal to the trailer connector.
Black wire connects to the positive battery and circuit breaker. White wire connects to the brake controller ground and negative battery. Red wire is the stop signal wire from the brake controller. Blue wire is the electric brake signal wire. The manual notes these are 'typically' these colours but recommends confirming with your brake controller documentation.
Yes. You can solder the leads together and insulate with heat shrink tubing as an alternative to using the supplied yellow butt connectors. This applies to connections between the duplex wire and the brake controller wires, and between the blue cross-linked wire and the brake controller.
The black power wire must connect directly to the positive battery terminal via the 30 amp circuit breaker. Connecting to the fuse panel or any other accessory wiring may damage vehicle wiring and cause trailer brake failure. The circuit breaker protects the circuit and must be the only protection between the battery and the brake control system.
Do NOT connect the stop signal wire to the red wire with green stripe on the turn signal harness. Serious damage may occur. Connect only to the light green wire. Also, do not connect to the brake pedal switch on these vehicles; use the turn signal harness instead.
The kit is universal but requires an existing trailer connector and brake controller. 1989-1991 Ford E & F-Series with ABS use a different stop signal connection (turn signal harness instead of brake pedal switch). Consult your brake controller documentation for compatibility.
No drilling is required. The kit connects to existing components: the battery, brake controller, brake pedal switch (or turn signal harness on 1989-1991 Ford E & F-Series with ABS), and trailer connector.
Do NOT connect the stop signal wire to the red wire with green stripe on the turn signal harness—serious damage may occur. Connect to the light green wire instead, and do not use the brake pedal switch.
Connecting to the fuse panel or accessory wiring may damage vehicle wiring and cause trailer brake failure. The 30 amp circuit breaker must be the only protection between the battery and the brake control system.
Yes, the Curt 56345 Custom Wiring Harness is designed for Ford Escape and Mazda Tribute vehicles in the SUV, Mini & Full-Sized Van category. The harness connects to the taillight assemblies on both sides of the vehicle.
Yes, the Curt 56345 Custom Wiring Harness is designed for Mazda Tribute and Ford Escape vehicles in the SUV, Mini & Full-Sized Van category. The harness connects to the taillight assemblies on both sides of the vehicle.
The Curt 56345 fits Ford Escape and Mazda Tribute vehicles. It is designed for SUVs, Mini & Full-Sized Vans in category S.
You need only a Phillips screwdriver. The harness comes with a provided screw for the ground connection, double-sided tape for the converter box, and cable ties for securing loose wires.
The harness includes a custom wiring harness with yellow, red, green and white wires, a black converter box, a provided screw for grounding, double-sided tape, cable ties, and a 4-flat dust cover.
Yes, you must disconnect the negative battery terminal before beginning installation. This is the first step in the installation process.
Yes, disconnect the negative battery terminal before starting installation. Reconnect it only after all other steps are complete.
Open the tailgate and remove the two Phillips head screws holding each taillight assembly in place. Carefully remove both taillights without damaging the alignment tabs. The taillight wiring harness connectors will be visible behind the taillight housing.
The harness has four wire colours: red and yellow wires connect to the driver side taillight, green wire connects to the passenger side taillight, and white wire is the ground connection. The black power wire connects to the vehicle battery (see separate CME-PCL-INS sheet for routing).
Separate the vehicle's taillight wiring connectors from the taillight housing. Insert the custom harness end with the red wire between the separated black connectors and the end with the yellow wire between the separated grey connectors on the driver side. Repeat with the green wire on the passenger side. Ensure connectors are fully inserted with locking tabs in place.
You may need to drill a 3/32" pilot hole for the ground wire screw if a suitable existing screw with nut is not available in the vehicle frame near the driver side taillight connector. Before drilling, check for miscellaneous items hidden behind or under any surface to avoid damage and personal injury.
Drilling is optional. You may use an existing screw with nut in the vehicle frame for the ground connection, or drill a 3/32" pilot hole if none is available. Always check for hidden items before drilling.
The battery connection must be fuse protected with a maximum of 10 amps. Exceeding this rating can cause loss of warranty, overheating and potential fire.
Signal circuits are rated at 3.0 amps per side. Tail and running circuits are rated at 6.0 amps total. Do not exceed the product rating or the tow vehicle lamp load rating, whichever is lower.
If drilling is required, use a 3/32" pilot hole for the provided ground screw.
Mount the black converter box on a flat, clean surface that is out of the path of spray and debris from the rear wheels and road. Use the provided double-sided tape to adhere it. Failure to mount the box in a protected area can cause loss of warranty, product failure, overheating and potential fire.
When not in use, roll up the 4-flat connector and store it in a convenient, out-of-the-way location. When in use, route it to the center of the vehicle. Secure any loose wires with the provided cable ties.
The provided 4-flat dust cover helps prevent corrosion of the connector. Install it after completing the wiring harness installation.
After connecting the driver side harness to the taillight connectors, route the harness end with the green wire down through the opening under the driver side taillight, over to the passenger side along the backside of the bumper, and up through the opening under the passenger side taillight.
Before drilling, check for miscellaneous items that may be hidden behind or under any surface to avoid damage and personal injury.
Do not exceed the product rating or the tow vehicle lamp load rating, whichever is lower. Exceeding the product rating can cause loss of warranty, overheating and potential fire.
After installation, test for proper function by using a test light or connecting a properly wired trailer. All steps must be followed to ensure the wiring harness functions properly.
Use a test light or connect a properly wired trailer to verify proper function.
Before removing the taillight assemblies, open the tailgate. When removing the taillights, take care not to damage the alignment tabs, as these are needed to properly reinstall the assemblies.
When inserting the custom harness connectors, ensure they are fully inserted and that the locking tabs are in place. Take care not to damage the locking tabs when separating the vehicle's taillight connectors from the taillight housing.
The grounding area should be free of rust, dirt and paint. 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 4-way flat electrical adapter converts a vehicle's 4-way flat trailer connector to other trailer connector types (6-way round, 7-way RV blade, or dual 4-way flat). This allows you to tow trailers with different connector styles. Single-output models (57184, 57183, 57185, 57626, 57676) convert to one connector type; dual-output models (57604, 57624, 57672, 57674, 57102) provide two different connector outputs simultaneously.
Yes. Your vehicle must be equipped with a 4-way flat trailer connector. If your vehicle does not have one, you will need to install a custom wiring harness or other 4-way flat trailer connector before installing this adapter.
Both convert a 4-way flat connector to a 7-way RV blade. The difference is that 57185 includes a mounting bracket, while 57184 does not.
Both convert a 4-way flat connector to a 6-way round. The difference is that 57626 includes a mounting bracket, while 57183 does not.
Curt offers three dual-output models that provide both a 4-way flat and a 7-way RV blade output: part numbers 57672, 57674, and 57102. All three include a mounting bracket.
Curt offers two dual-output models that provide both a 4-way flat and a 6-way round output: part numbers 57604 and 57624. Both include a mounting bracket.
You will need: a 1/8" drill bit, drill, Phillips screwdriver, wire stripper, cutting tool, terminal crimpers, and a test light. The manual also lists three self-tapping screws (#10 - 1/2") as required, though these are not included with the product.
No. The three self-tapping screws (#10 - 1/2") used to attach the mounting bracket are not included and must be purchased separately.
Mount the combination harness in a location on the tow vehicle that is within reach of the trailer's wiring harness and near the center of the vehicle. The mounting bracket (if included) should be attached to the vehicle's bumper or other suitable surface.
Yes. You must drill two 1/8" holes: one for the grounding point and one (or more) for the mounting bracket. Before drilling, you must check for brake lines, fuel lines, wiring and other components that may be hidden behind or under the surface to avoid damage.
No. You must never attach the mounting bracket directly to the hitch by cutting, welding or drilling into the hitch. Mount it to the vehicle's bumper or other suitable surface instead.
The adapter uses four wires: Yellow (auxiliary or back-up lights), Blue (electric brakes), Black (positive power with appropriate inline fuse), and White (ground). All wires except black and white must be connected using 12 gauge (minimum) wire and butt connectors to the appropriate vehicle functions.
The white wire is the ground connection. It must be attached with a ring terminal to a 1/8" hole drilled in a suitable grounding point on the vehicle using a #10 - 1/2" self-tapping screw. This ground connection is required for the harness to work properly. The white wire on the vehicle's 4-way flat connector does not support the ground (-) functions of the combination harness.
Yes. The black wire (positive power) must be connected with an appropriate inline fuse. The manual does not specify the fuse amperage rating.
Use 12 gauge (minimum) wire for all connections. The manual specifies this minimum gauge for the remaining wires (yellow, blue, and black) when connecting to appropriate vehicle functions.
Failing to properly ground the product can cause loss of warranty, overheating and potential fire. The white wire must be securely attached to a clean grounding point using a #10 - 1/2" self-tapping screw in a 1/8" hole. The area must be clean of dirt, debris or undercoating.
Before drilling, you must check for brake lines, fuel lines, wiring and any other components that may be hidden behind or under the surface. Drilling into these components can cause damage and personal injury.
Do not exceed the product rating or the tow vehicle lamp load rating, whichever is lower. Exceeding either rating can cause damage or unsafe operation.
Confirm proper function with a test light or by using a properly functioning trailer. This verifies that all connections are working correctly before towing.
Secure any loose wires using cable ties or equivalent product to prevent them from moving, catching on components, or becoming damaged.
Your vehicle must have a 4-way flat trailer connector. If it does not, you will need to install a custom wiring harness or other 4-way flat connector first. Check the part number table to confirm the adapter converts to the connector type you need.
You must purchase three #10 - 1/2" self-tapping screws for the mounting bracket. You will also need an appropriate inline fuse for the black (positive power) wire; the manual does not specify the amperage.
Yes, you must drill two 1/8" holes: one for grounding and one for the mounting bracket. Before drilling, check for brake lines, fuel lines and wiring behind the surface. Never drill into the hitch.
Yellow = auxiliary/back-up lights; Blue = electric brakes; Black = positive power (needs inline fuse); White = ground (must be properly grounded or warranty is void and fire risk exists). Use 12 gauge minimum wire and butt connectors.
Proper grounding of the white wire is critical. Failing to ground it properly can cause loss of warranty, overheating and fire. The grounding point must be clean of dirt, debris and undercoating.
Test with a test light or by using a properly functioning trailer to confirm all connections work. Secure loose wires with cable ties.
