The Curt 56313 is designed for the Chevrolet Malibu Premier only. If you have a Premier model, this harness will fit. For other Malibu trim levels or model years, contact the manufacturer or check the fitment database to confirm compatibility.
The Curt 56313 is a custom wiring harness with a powered converter that connects to your vehicle's taillight wiring to provide trailer lighting signals. It includes a converter box that processes left turn (yellow wire), right turn (green wire), brake (red wire), and taillight (brown wire) signals, and requires a dedicated 12-volt battery connection with a 10-amp fuse for power.
The Curt 56313 is rated for 3.0 amps per side on signal circuits (left and right turn) and 6.0 amps total on tail and running circuits. The battery connection must be fused at 10 amps maximum. Do not exceed the product rating or your vehicle's tow lamp load rating, whichever is lower, as exceeding the rating can cause loss of warranty, overheating and potential fire.
No. The Curt 56313 converter system is designed for 12-volt negative ground systems only. It is not compatible with 24-volt systems or positive ground systems.
You will need a panel trim removal tool, wire stripper, wire crimper, and cutting tool. The manual also recommends having a drill available in case you need to create a 3/32" pilot hole for the ground screw if no existing screw with nut is available on the vehicle frame.
The Curt 56313 includes a custom wiring harness with yellow and green wire ends, a black converter box, a white ground wire with ring terminal, a provided screw for grounding, double-sided tape for mounting the converter box, cable ties for securing wires, a 4-flat connector, and a 4-flat dust cover. A fuse holder with 10-amp fuse is also included and must be installed after all other steps are complete.
Yes. You must disconnect the negative battery terminal before beginning installation. This is a required safety step. After all other installation steps are complete and the fuse is installed, you will reconnect the negative battery terminal.
On the Chevrolet Malibu Premier, the taillight wiring harness connectors are located behind the taillight housings inside the trunk. The driver side connector (P3) is behind the driver side taillight, and the passenger side connector (P4) is behind the passenger side taillight. You will access them by removing the trunk floor coverings, scuff panel, and felt liner.
Separate the vehicle's taillight wiring harness connectors from the taillight housing, taking care not to damage the locking tabs. Insert the custom wiring harness end with the yellow wire between the separated connectors on the driver side, ensuring the connectors are fully inserted with locking tabs in place. Repeat this process on the passenger side using the harness end with the green wire.
Drilling may be required for the ground wire connection. You should first locate a suitable grounding point near the taillight connector, such as an existing screw with nut in the vehicle frame. If no existing screw is available, you will need to drill a 3/32" pilot hole for the provided ground screw. The area must be free of rust, dirt and paint. Always check for miscellaneous items hidden behind or under surfaces before drilling to avoid damage and personal injury.
The pilot hole for the ground screw should be 3/32" in diameter. This hole is only needed if no existing screw with nut is available on the vehicle frame near the taillight connector.
Mount the black converter box on a flat spot inside the vehicle near the taillight using the provided double-sided tape. The area should be clean and flat to ensure secure adhesion.
The Curt 56313 uses the following wire colors: Yellow for left turn signal, Green for right turn signal, Red for brake signal, Brown for taillight, and White for ground. The custom harness has a yellow wire end for the driver side and a green wire end for the passenger side. The black power wire connects to the vehicle battery positive terminal.
Route the black 12-gauge power wire from the vehicle battery positive terminal to the converter box, taking care to avoid pinch points and hot or rotating components. When passing the power wire through sheet metal, use an existing grommet, add a grommet, or use silicone to protect the wire from sharp edges. Secure the power wire to the vehicle chassis using the provided cable ties. Use a ring terminal for the battery connection. The fuse holder with 10-amp fuse must be installed after all other steps are complete.
The power wire from the battery must be 12-gauge or larger. It must be protected with a 10-amp maximum fuse installed in a fuse holder. The fuse should be installed after all other installation steps are complete.
The battery connection must be fused at 10 amps maximum. Exceeding this fuse rating can cause loss of warranty, overheating and potential fire. Do not exceed the product rating or your vehicle's tow lamp load rating, whichever is lower.
When in use, route the 4-flat connector to the center of the vehicle. When not in use, roll it up and store in a convenient, out-of-the-way location. Install the provided 4-flat dust cover to help prevent corrosion.
After installation is complete, 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. Reconnect the negative battery terminal and install the provided 4-flat dust cover before testing.
Before drilling, check for miscellaneous items that may be hidden behind or under any surface to avoid damage and personal injury. When routing the power wire, avoid pinch points and hot or rotating components. Use a ring terminal for the battery connection. Disconnect the negative battery cable before wiring the power wire. Do not exceed the product rating (3.0 amps per side for signals, 6.0 amps total for tail/running) or your vehicle's tow lamp load rating, whichever is lower, as exceeding the rating can cause loss of warranty, overheating and potential fire. Install the fuse after all other steps are complete.
