Yes, the Curt 56216 Custom Wiring Harness is designed for Buick Encore SUVs. It is compatible with the S-type (SUVs, Mini & Full-Sized Vans) body style.
The harness is rated for Signal Circuits at 3.0 amps per side and Tail/Running Circuits at 6.0 amps total. The battery connection must be fuse-protected with a 10-amp maximum fuse. Do not exceed the product rating or your tow vehicle's lamp load rating, whichever is lower.
You will need a panel trim removal tool. A drill with a 3/32" bit may be needed if you do not have a suitable existing screw with nut for the ground wire attachment point.
Yes. Step 1 requires you to locate the vehicle battery on the driver side under the hood and disconnect the negative battery terminal before beginning installation.
The yellow wire end connects to the driver side taillight wiring harness connectors. Insert it between the separated connectors and ensure the connectors are fully inserted with locking tabs in place.
The green wire end connects to the passenger side taillight wiring harness connectors. Route it behind the removed scuff panel and repeat the same connection procedure as the driver side (Steps 4-6).
Locate a suitable grounding point near the taillight connector, such as an existing screw with nut in the vehicle frame. If no suitable point exists, drill a 3/32" pilot hole. Clean the area of rust, dirt and paint, then secure the white ground wire using the ring terminal and provided screw.
Drilling is not always required. You may use an existing screw with nut in the vehicle frame as a grounding point. Drilling is only necessary if no suitable existing fastener is available. If drilling is needed, a 3/32" pilot hole is required for the provided ground screw.
Drill a 3/32" pilot hole for the provided ground screw. Before drilling, check for miscellaneous items that may be hidden behind or under any surface to avoid damage and personal injury.
Locate a flat spot inside the vehicle near the taillight and adhere the black converter box using the provided double-sided tape.
When in use, route the 4-flat to the center of the vehicle and out of the trunk. When not in use, roll it up and store in a convenient, out-of-the-way location inside the trunk. Secure any loose wires with the provided cable ties.
Test for proper function by using a test light or by connecting a properly wired trailer. All installation steps must be followed to ensure the wiring harness functions properly.
The battery connection must be fuse-protected with a 10-amp maximum fuse. Exceeding this rating can cause loss of warranty, overheating and potential fire.
Exceeding the product rating (Signal Circuits 3.0 amps per side, Tail/Running Circuits 6.0 amps total) or your tow vehicle's lamp load rating, whichever is lower, can cause loss of warranty, overheating and potential fire. Do not exceed the product rating or the 10-amp maximum fuse protection.
Remove the two 10mm bolts and cargo fasteners on each side of the rear scuff panel. Pull out on the bottom and then up to remove it. Take care not to damage the alignment tabs on the back. The panel is removed to access the wiring harness routing behind it.
Yes. Step 2 requires you to open the vehicle tailgate and remove all trunk floor coverings and storage trays to access the rear scuff panel and wiring harness routing areas.
Remove the plastic access cover from the interior trim panel to locate the vehicle taillight wiring harness. Carefully move the lower interior trim panel to be able to route the custom wiring harness.
Locate the vehicle taillight wiring harness connectors. Separate them from the taillight housing, taking care not to damage the locking tabs. Insert the custom wiring harness end (yellow for driver side, green for passenger side) between the separated connectors. Ensure the connectors are fully inserted with locking tabs in place.
