All Hardware and Installation Instructions Included!
Whatever your task at hand -- whether it's launching that boat before daybreak, setting up your camper before the rush or getting a final load to the dump before close -- CURT class 3 trailer hitches offer the strength needed for serious towing. They make it easy to hitch up and Bring It, offering a vehicle-specific fit and the weight capacity to handle a variety of trailers. Custom class 3 hitches are the most common type of receiver hitch for pickup trucks and SUVs. Because of their weight range, they are also found on full-size cars, crossovers and minivans. Each custom-fit class 3 hitch package is made for vehicle-specific mounting. This particular kit fits certain years of the Hyundai Kona (see application info to verify vehicle compatibility). It provides a weight carrying capacity of 2,000 lbs. GTW and 200 lbs. TW. CURT class 3 trailer hitches are typically used to attach and haul utility trailers, boat trailers, campers, snowmobile or ATV haulers and more (NOTE: Never exceed the lowest-rated towing component). Each class 3 hitch has a 2" receiver tube and is tested in accordance with SAE J684 for safety. To ensure that CURT class 3 receiver hitches have what it takes for serious trailering, they are designed using a hands-on approach and are constructed with rugged, high-strength steel and precise welding. We also protect our class 3 hitches in a co-cured finish of liquid A-coat and black powder coat for superior resistance to rust, chipping and UV damage.
If your vehicle is not equipped with wiring for towing a trailer, CURT custom wiring is the ideal solution. A custom wiring harness -- also called a T-connector -- is a simple, plug-and-play electrical device that plugs into your automotive electric system and provides a standard, universal trailer wiring connection. This is done using two or more vehicle-specific, OEM-compatible connectors to plug into the taillight assembly, eliminating the need for cutting, splicing and soldering during installation. Custom wiring harnesses are made vehicle-specific, and while they are not available for all vehicles, they do offer one of the fastest, easiest and most secure ways to wire a vehicle for towing. This particular plug-in harness provides a 4-way flat connector socket and is designed to be a custom wiring harness to fit certain years of the Hyundai Kona (to verify your vehicle compatibility, see application info). It comes with all necessary wiring components to establish a reliable trailer wiring connection, as well as a dust cover to keep the connector clean when not in use. You have a picture in mind of your next destination -- maybe it's the boat landing at your favorite fishing spot, maybe it's a campsite that overlooks one of nature's masterpieces, or maybe it's the next big jobsite. However, turning that picture into a reality takes more than just daydreaming. It takes a solid connection and the right amount of power. CURT custom wiring is made with some of the most sophisticated technology in the industry and is designed to install with ease, giving you a long-lasting electrical connection for your towing hitch setup.

CURT 56409 is a custom wiring harness with a powered converter system designed for passenger cars. It provides signal circuits (3.0 amps per side) and tail/running circuits (6.0 amps total) to enable trailer lighting or other auxiliary lighting functions. The system includes a black converter box that mounts inside the vehicle near the taillight, a power lead that connects to the vehicle battery, and wiring harnesses that connect to the vehicle's existing taillight connectors.
CURT 56409 is designed for passenger cars with 12-volt negative ground electrical systems. The manual shows wiring locations for passenger cars (P1–P7) and notes that battery location may differ depending on the vehicle. You should verify compatibility with your specific vehicle model before purchase. Consult the vehicle owner's manual or contact the vehicle manufacturer for confirmation.
No. The manual explicitly states that this converter system is to be used only on 12-volt negative ground systems. It is not compatible with 24-volt systems or positive ground systems.
The following tools are required: ratchet, ratchet extension, socket (1/4"), Phillips screwdriver, side cutter, wire crimper, wire stripper, panel trim removal tool, and utility knife. Proper tools will improve the quality of installation and reduce the time required.
The kit includes: a black converter box, a 12-gauge power wire with ring terminal for battery connection, a white ground wire with ring terminal, a provided screw for grounding, cable ties for securing wires, provided double-sided tape for mounting the converter box, a grommet sealant, a 4-flat dust cover, and a fuse holder with 10-amp fuse (to be installed after all other steps are complete). The kit also includes wiring harnesses with red, yellow, green, and brown wires for connection to vehicle taillight connectors.
Yes. The manual explicitly states: "Disconnect negative battery (-) cable before wiring the power wire." This is a required safety step before beginning the power wire installation. After all other installation steps are complete and the fuse is installed, you may reconnect the negative battery terminal.
The manual rates the installation difficulty as "Easy." However, the installation involves multiple steps including removing trim panels, accessing taillight connectors, routing wires through the vehicle, drilling a pilot hole for grounding, and making electrical connections. You should read all instructions thoroughly before beginning.
The installation follows these main steps: (1) Open trunk and remove floor coverings; (2) Remove rear scuff panel; (3) Remove driver-side trim panel fasteners and locate taillight connectors; (4) Insert custom wiring with red wire between separated connectors; (5) Remove grommet from taillight wiring harness; (6) Cut slit in grommet and route yellow and green wires through; (7) Locate and separate passenger-side taillight turn signal connector and insert yellow wire; (8) Repeat steps 5–7 on passenger side with green wire; (9) Locate grounding point and secure white ground wire; (10) Mount converter box and route power wire from battery. All steps must be followed to ensure proper function.
Locate the vehicle's taillight wiring connectors behind the taillight housing. The connectors will be similar to those on the custom wiring product. Carefully separate the connectors without damaging the locking tabs. Insert the custom wiring end (with the appropriate wire colour: red for brake, yellow for left turn, green for right turn) between the separated connectors. Make sure the connectors are fully inserted with locking tabs in place. Repeat this process for both driver and passenger sides.
Route the custom wiring end with yellow and green wires out through the grommet opening and through a slit cut in the grommet from the trunk to the taillight connector. Remove the grommet from which the vehicle taillight wiring harness passes through from inside the trunk to underneath the vehicle. Cut a slit large enough to route the new custom wiring through. After routing, reseat the grommet and use the provided sealant to seal the cut in the grommet and around all wires. Secure any loose wires with the provided cable ties.
Locate a flat spot inside the vehicle near the taillight. Adhere the black converter box using the provided double-sided tape. The converter should be mounted in a location that is convenient and out of the way, as the 4-flat connector should be rolled up and stored inside the trunk when not in use.
Drilling may be required for the ground wire connection. You must locate a suitable grounding point near the connector, such as an existing screw with nut in the vehicle frame. If no suitable existing point is available, you will need to drill a 3/32" pilot hole for the provided screw. Before drilling, check for miscellaneous items that may be hidden behind or under any surface to avoid damage and personal injury. The area should be free of rust, dirt and paint.
Yes. You must remove the grommet from which the vehicle taillight wiring harness passes through from inside the trunk to underneath the vehicle, and cut a slit large enough to route the new custom wiring end through. After routing the wires, reseat the grommet and use the provided sealant to seal the cut in the grommet and around all wires.
The battery connection must be fuse-protected with a 10-amp maximum fuse. The manual states: "The battery connection must be fuse-protected, 10-amp max. Exceeding the product rating can cause loss of warranty, overheating and potential fire." The fuse holder with 10-amp fuse is provided and should be installed after all other steps are complete.
Signal circuits are rated at 3.0 amps per side. Tail/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. Exceeding the product rating can cause loss of warranty, overheating and potential fire.
If a suitable existing grounding point is not available, drill a 3/32" pilot hole for the provided screw. The area should be free of rust, dirt and paint before securing the white ground wire using the ring terminal and provided screw.
The wiring harness uses the following colours: Red = Brake, Yellow = Left turn, Green = Right turn, Brown = Taillight. The converter also includes a white ground wire and a black power wire. Each wire must be connected to the correct vehicle connector to ensure proper function.
Route the 12-gauge black power wire from the vehicle battery to the converter, taking care to avoid any 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 power wire from sharp edges. Secure the power wire to the vehicle chassis using the provided cable ties. Attach the ring terminal of the power wire to the positive (+) battery terminal. Install the provided fuse holder with 10-amp fuse after all other steps are complete. The negative battery cable must be disconnected before wiring the power wire and reconnected after installation is complete.
Locate a suitable grounding point on the driver side behind the side wall panel 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 should be free of rust, dirt and paint. Secure the white ground wire using the ring terminal and provided screw. Alternatively, attach the ring terminal of the white ground wire to the vehicle body using the screw provided (drill a 3/32" hole if necessary).
Key safety warnings: (1) Do not exceed product rating or tow vehicle lamp load rating, whichever is lower. Exceeding the product rating can cause loss of warranty, overheating and potential fire. (2) The battery connection must be fuse-protected, 10-amp max. (3) Check for miscellaneous items that may be hidden behind or under any surface before drilling to avoid damage and personal injury. (4) Route the power wire to avoid pinch points and hot or rotating components. (5) Disconnect the negative battery cable before wiring the power wire. (6) Use a ring terminal for battery connection. (7) When passing the power wire through sheet metal, use an existing grommet, add a grommet, or use silicone to protect from sharp edges.
After installation: (1) Reinstall all items removed during installation. (2) Reconnect the negative battery terminal if it was disconnected. (3) Install the provided 4-flat dust cover to help prevent corrosion. (4) Test for proper function by using a test light or connecting a properly wired trailer. (5) Ensure all wires are secured with cable ties and the grommet is sealed with the provided sealant.
Periodic inspection of all wires and connections should be performed to ensure there is no visible damage or loose connections. Check the fuse periodically to ensure it has not blown. If the system stops functioning, verify that the fuse is intact and that all connections remain tight and free of corrosion.
The manual states that when in use, the 4-flat should be routed to the center of the vehicle and out of the trunk. When not in use, it should be rolled up and stored in a convenient, out-of-the-way location inside the trunk. A 4-flat dust cover is provided to help prevent corrosion. However, the manual does not specify the exact function or what the 4-flat connector connects to.

If the system still does not function, consult the vehicle manufacturer or a qualified technician.
The CURT 13610 is designed for Hyundai Kona models including EV, N, N Line, Limited, SE, and SEL variants in both front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive configurations. Verify your specific model year and trim level match these applications before purchasing. Contact CURT product support at 877.287.8634 if you need to confirm fitment for your vehicle.
The CURT 13610 has a gross trailer weight (GTW) capacity of 2,000 lbs and a tongue weight (TW) capacity of 200 lbs. Never exceed your vehicle manufacturer's recommended towing capacity, which may be lower than the hitch rating.
Required tools are: ratchet, 11/16" socket, torque wrench, 6" socket extension, 7/16" fishwire (6 qty included with the hitch), and flathead screwdriver. For a complete tools reference guide, visit curtmfg.com/trailer-hitch-installation.
Exhaust lowering is required for N-Line, all-wheel drive Limited, SE, and SEL models. For all-wheel drive models, remove the two rearmost exhaust hanger rods on both sides from the rubber isolators. For N Line and Kona N models, remove the three rearmost exhaust hanger rods on both sides. Use a stand to support the exhaust and prevent damage. Front-wheel drive Limited, SE, and SEL models and Kona EV models do not require exhaust lowering.
Yes. For Kona EV models, you must trim the fascia panel and the plastic cover support tab. Mark and trim the fascia panel approximately 6" wide by 3" tall at the center of the vehicle on the panel. Trim the plastic clip from the middle plastic cover support tab approximately 2" as shown in the trim diagram on page 3.
The hitch includes 6 carriage bolts (7/16"-14 x 1-1/4"), 6 serrated-flange nuts (7/16"-14), 6 square-hole spacers (1.75" x 0.875" x 0.25"), and 6 qty of 7/16" fishwire tools.
Torque all 7/16" hardware (carriage bolts and serrated-flange nuts) to 59 lb-ft. Use a torque wrench to ensure proper tightness and prevent damage to the product or vehicle.
The fishwire technique guides the carriage bolts and square-hole spacers through the frame rail mounting holes without losing them inside the frame. Insert the coiled end of the fishwire through the hitch mounting hole in the vehicle frame rail and out the access hole, pass it through the spacer, and thread the bolt into the coil. Kink the wire to keep the spacer separate from the bolt, then pull the fishwire, spacer, and bolt through the frame and out the mounting hole. This prevents hardware from being pushed into the frame during installation.
Yes. In Step 6, remove the electrical harness from the frame rail and move it from under the bumper beam to above the bumper beam, if applicable. This ensures the harness does not interfere with the hitch installation.
Yes. In Step 7, remove one rubber plug from the bottom of the frame rail on both sides, if applicable. Set the rubber plugs aside for reinstallation in Step 11 after the hitch is mounted and torqued.
No. In Step 8, fishwire the carriage bolts and spacers through the frame rail holes but do not pull them through. In Step 9, raise the hitch into position, feed the fishwires through the hitch holes, and pull the bolts through. Loosely secure the bolts with serrated-flange nuts. Only in Step 10, after the hitch is fully positioned, torque all 7/16" hardware to 59 lb-ft.
Only if your vehicle has an underbody panel on the passenger side frame rail. In Step 4, if present, remove it by removing two plastic clips and one nut. This step applies only to Limited, SE, and SEL models (not N Line). Set the panel aside for reinstallation in Step 11.
Use a 5/8" open end wrench and a pry bar. Slide the wrench up to the rubber isolator, cradling the hanger rod. Place the flat edge of the pry bar between the wrench and the hanger stop or hanger rod, then rotate the pry bar toward the wrench to remove the rubber isolator. Using a lubricant or soapy water on the hanger rod and rubber isolator helps removal.
Wear safety glasses at all times during installation. When lowering the exhaust, use a stand to support it and prevent damage. Be careful not to push hardware into the frame when removing the fishwire. Never exceed your vehicle manufacturer's recommended towing capacity when using the hitch.
Perform a periodic inspection of the trailer hitch to ensure all mounting hardware remains tight and structural components are secure. Verify that all 7/16" bolts and nuts are torqued to 59 lb-ft and that all removed components (exhaust, rubber plugs, plastic covers, underbody panels) have been properly reinstalled.
