Part 56444 is designed for SUVs and vans with 12 volt negative ground electrical systems. The manual does not specify individual vehicle models or years. Confirm your vehicle has a 12 volt negative ground system before purchasing. Contact Curt Manufacturing or your vehicle manufacturer if you are unsure of your vehicle's electrical system type.
Signal circuits are rated at 6.0 amps per side. Tail and running circuits are rated at 3.0 amps total. The battery connection must be fuse-protected with a 10-amp maximum fuse. Do not exceed the product rating or the tow vehicle lamp load rating, whichever is lower, as exceeding the rating can cause loss of warranty, overheating and potential fire.
Required tools are: ratchet, cutting tool, 10mm socket, wire crimper, socket extension, wire stripper, Phillips screwdriver, trim panel removal tool, and electrical tape. Proper tools will improve the quality of installation and reduce the time required.
Yes. Locate the vehicle's battery in the engine compartment on the driver side and disconnect the negative battery terminal. Fasten this wire down and away from the battery while completing the installation. Reconnect the negative battery terminal after all other installation steps are complete.
The primary wiring locations are S1 (behind driver side taillight housing) and S2 (behind passenger side taillight housing). Additional optional locations include S3–S10 behind rear access panels, bumpers, and under the rear floor panel. The manual provides a diagram showing all ten possible wiring locations on a representative vehicle.
Open the trunk. Using a Phillips screwdriver, loosen and remove the two taillight trim fasteners and remove the trim piece. Using a Phillips screwdriver or 10mm socket, remove the taillight fasteners. Remove the taillight by pulling straight rearward. Locate the vehicle taillight wiring connectors, which will be similar to those on the new converter product. Separate the connectors from the taillight housing, taking care not to damage the locking tabs. Repeat on the other side of the vehicle.
Fishwiring is a method to push or pull an electrical wire through a blind hole. Insert a stiff wire (such as a cut-up wire hanger, rope or string) through the blind hole and locate it on the other side. Use tape to secure the harness to the fish wire and pull back up. If the fish wire or harness gets hung up, you may need to push back down, wiggle it around or twist the wire to loosen it. Make sure the fish wire is long enough to stick out on the other side.
On the driver side, route the fishwire down between the body and bumper cover. From under the vehicle, locate and attach the fishwire to the housing with the yellow wire. Pull the wire back up and attach it to the factory harness. Make sure the connectors are fully inserted with locking tabs in place. Repeat on the passenger side with the green wire.
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, 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. Before drilling, check for miscellaneous items that may be hidden behind or under any surface to avoid damage and personal injury.
Route the green wire along the backside of the bumper cover. Use cable ties as needed to secure the routed wiring. Route the black power wire from the vehicle battery as shown on the provided Powered Converter Lead Instruction Sheet. Route the 4-flat to the trailer hitch and mount in an easy-to-access location. Secure any loose wires with the provided cable ties.
Locate a flat spot inside the vehicle near the yellow wire. Adhere the black converter box using the provided double-sided tape.
Use 12 GA wire or larger for the power lead to the vehicle battery. The black wire connects to the positive battery (+) terminal. The white ground wire with a ring terminal connects to the vehicle body using the provided screw (drill a 3/32" hole if necessary). A fuse holder with 10 amp fuse maximum must be installed in the power circuit; install the fuse after all other steps are complete.
Green = Right turn; Red = Brake; Yellow = Left turn; Brown = Taillight. These colors correspond to the standard trailer lighting functions.
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 cable ties provided.
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.
Once the 12 volt power wire is connected to the harness, verify that the harness is functioning by attaching the battery and testing with a test light, 4-flat tester, or a functioning trailer. Install the provided 4-flat dust cover to help prevent corrosion.
Periodic inspection of all wires and connections should be performed to ensure there is no visible damage or loose connections.
The Curt 56444 is designed for SUVs and vans with 12 volt negative ground electrical systems. Confirm your vehicle meets these requirements before purchasing.
You will need a ratchet, 10mm socket, socket extension, Phillips screwdriver, trim panel removal tool, wire crimper, wire stripper, cutting tool, and electrical tape.
Drilling is required only if no suitable existing grounding point is available. If needed, drill a 3/32" pilot hole for the ground wire screw. Always check for hidden items before drilling.
Exceeding the product rating or tow vehicle lamp load rating can cause loss of warranty, overheating and potential fire. Do not exceed 6.0 amps per signal circuit side or 3.0 amps total for tail and running circuits.
