The 17-22 Buick Encore CURT 4-flat Plug and Play Trailer Wiring (Part #CTW187) fits the following vehicles: 2017-2022 Buick Encore. Always verify your specific year, make, and model before ordering.
Yes, the 17-22 Buick Encore CURT 4-flat Plug and Play Trailer Wiring (Part #CTW187) is designed to fit the 2017-2022 Buick Encore.
The 17-22 Buick Encore CURT 4-flat Plug and Play Trailer Wiring (Part #CTW187) Refer to the included instructions for installation details. Basic hand tools are typically all you need.
Yes, the Curt 56363 is designed for Buick Encore SUVs, Mini & Full-Sized Vans (S-class). The harness is installed behind the driver and passenger side rear access panels. Verify your vehicle is a 12-volt negative ground system before installation.
The Curt 56363 is a custom wiring harness with a powered converter that connects your vehicle's taillight system to a trailer connector. It allows you to tow a trailer with integrated lighting by converting your vehicle's lighting signals to the trailer's 4-flat connector.
No. The converter system is designed only for 12-volt negative ground systems. Check your vehicle owner's manual or contact the vehicle manufacturer to confirm your system type before purchasing.
You will need: 10mm socket, ratchet, socket extension, panel trim removal tool, flat blade screwdriver, wire stripper, crimping tool, T-45 Torx bit, and side cutter.
Yes. You must disconnect the negative battery cable before wiring the power wire to the battery. This is a critical safety step to prevent electrical shock and short circuits during installation.
The custom wiring harness connects between the vehicle's taillight wiring harness connectors. The harness end with the yellow wire connects on the driver side, and the harness end with the green wire connects on the passenger side. Both are located behind the rear access panels. The connectors are inserted between the separated taillight housing connectors with locking tabs in place.
Locate a flat spot inside the vehicle near the taillight and adhere the black converter box using the provided double-sided tape. The converter should be mounted in a location where it will not be disturbed or damaged.
Drilling may be required. Locate a suitable grounding point near the taillight connector, such as an existing screw with nut in the vehicle frame. If no suitable existing point is available, drill a 3/32" pilot hole. 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 battery connection must be fuse protected with a 10 amp maximum fuse. Exceeding this rating can cause loss of warranty, overheating and potential fire. Install the fuse after all other installation steps are complete.
The power wire must be 12 GA (12 gauge) or larger. Route this wire from the vehicle battery to the converter, taking care to avoid pinch points and hot or rotating components.
The wiring harness uses the following color codes: Yellow = Left turn signal, Green = Right turn signal, Red = Brake signal, Brown = Taillight, and White = Ground. The converter box has a black power wire that connects to the positive battery terminal.
Signal circuits (left turn, right turn, brake) are rated at 3.0 amps per side. Tail and running light circuits are rated at 6.0 amps total. Do not exceed these product ratings or the tow vehicle lamp load rating, whichever is lower.
When not in use, roll up the 4-flat connector and store it in a convenient, out-of-the-way location inside the vehicle. When in use, route it to the center of the vehicle. Secure any loose wires with the provided cable ties.
After installation, reinstall all items removed during the install, including the rear scuff panel, storage trays, and side trim panels. Install the provided 4-flat dust cover to help prevent corrosion. Test for proper function by using a test light or connecting a properly wired trailer.
Route the 12 GA power wire carefully 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.
1. Open the tailgate and remove all trunk floor coverings. 2. Using a 10mm socket, remove the two cargo tie downs securing the rear scuff panel, then pull the scuff panel straight up. 3. Using a T-45 Torx bit and extension, remove fasteners securing the storage trays and remove them. 4. Remove the cargo tie down securing the side trim panel using a 10mm socket. 5. Use a trim panel removal tool to pull back the side trim panel. 6. Locate and separate the taillight wiring harness connectors.
Secure the white ground wire using the ring terminal and provided screw. Attach it to 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. The area must be free of rust, dirt and paint.
If using the converter as a powered module for a two-wire system, the red brake wire must be grounded. This is a specific configuration requirement for two-wire trailer systems.
Two cargo tie downs secure the rear scuff panel. Remove them using a 10mm socket. After removal, pull the scuff panel straight up, taking care not to damage the alignment tabs on the back.
Storage trays are secured with fasteners that require a T-45 Torx bit and extension to remove. Use a ratchet with the socket extension to access and remove these fasteners.

The battery connection must use a 10 amp maximum fuse. Exceeding this can cause overheating and fire.
Use 12 GA (12 gauge) wire or larger for the power lead from the battery to the converter.
Use an existing grommet, add a new grommet, or apply silicone to protect the power wire from sharp edges when passing through sheet metal.
