All Hardware and Installation Instructions Included!
However you define adventure -- whether it's climbing onto the back of a mountain bike, hunting from the top of a tree stand or camping with the family a long way from nowhere -- CURT Class 3 hitches provide a light-duty towing receiver to help you Bring It. Each is made to fit a specific vehicle, providing easier installation, a better fit and optimal towing capacity. Custom Class 3 trailer hitches are available for a variety of smaller vehicle types, including the compact car, crossover, minivan and small SUV. This particular Class 3 hitch is designed to be a custom hitch for certain years of the Nissan Kicks (to verify vehicle compatibility, see the CURT application guide at curtmfg.com). Tested in accordance with SAE J684, it offers a weight carrying capacity of 2,000 lbs. GTW and 200 lbs. TW. It is equipped with 2" receiver tube opening to accept a ball mount shank or other hitch mount. This Class 3 hitch also comes with all necessary mounting hardware. With its lightweight design and smaller receiver tube size, a Class 3 hitch is especially useful for adding cargo space with a hitch-mounted bike rack or cargo carrier. They can also typically be used to tow small trailers such as a utility trailer, kayak trailer or teardrop camper (never exceed the lowest weight capacity of any towing component; i.e. the vehicle, hitch, trailer, etc). Though CURT Class 3 trailer hitches are only intended for light-duty towing, we apply the same principles of quality as we do to the rest of our rear mount hitches. Each Class 3 hitch is made with hands-on engineering, high-strength steel and precise welding. We use a co-cured finish of liquid A-coat, inside and out, and durable black powder coat to provide a lasting defense against rust, chips and UV rays.
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 Nissan Kicks (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.

The Curt 56552 is a wiring converter designed for SUVs and vans. It converts vehicle electrical signals to power a trailer's lighting system. The product includes a converter box, wiring harnesses with color-coded wires (yellow for left turn, green for right turn, red for brake, brown for taillight), a 4-flat connector for trailer attachment, and all necessary hardware for installation.
The Curt 56552 is designed for SUVs and vans. It requires a 12-volt negative ground electrical system. The manual does not list specific vehicle models or years. Contact Curt Manufacturing or consult a fitment database to confirm compatibility with your specific vehicle before purchasing.
No. The Curt 56552 converter system is designed only for 12-volt negative ground systems. It will not function on positive ground vehicles.
Required tools are: ratchet, 10mm socket, socket extension, flathead screwdriver, fish wire (or stiff wire, rope, or string), wire cutter, wire stripper, wire crimper, panel trim removal tool, and utility knife. Proper tools will improve installation quality and reduce time required.
The kit includes: two wiring harnesses with color-coded wires (yellow, green, red, brown), a black converter box, a 4-flat connector with dust cover, a white ground wire with ring terminal, a black power wire, cable ties, double-sided tape for mounting the converter box, a ground screw, and a fuse holder with 10-amp fuse.
Yes. Step 1 requires you to 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. The battery must remain disconnected until Step 10, when you reconnect the negative terminal after all other installation is complete.
The installation difficulty level is rated as Difficult. This rating is based on time and effort involved and may vary depending on installer expertise, vehicle condition, and availability of proper tools and equipment.
Open the rear hatch and locate the bolts holding the taillights in place. Remove the two 10mm bolts on each light housing (four bolts total, two per side). Then pull the taillight outwards from the side of the vehicle. Once removed, separate the connector from the taillight housing, taking care not to damage the locking tabs. Set the taillight aside and repeat on the other side.
Fish wiring is a technique to push or pull an electrical wire through a blind hole. Insert the fish wire (which can be a cut-up wire hanger, stiff wire, 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 gets hung up, 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 both sides of the hole.
On the driver side, fish wire down the taillight cavity to underneath the vehicle. Attach the housing with the yellow wire to the fish wire and pull it back up to the taillight opening. Connect the custom harness end with the yellow wire between the taillight harness and the factory connectors. Mount the taillight and secure with bolts. Route the green wire across the bumper to the passenger side and repeat the fish wiring process for the green wire connector. After both harnesses are connected, secure loose wires with provided cable ties.
Locate a flat, clean surface that is out of the path of spray and debris from the rear wheels and road. Adhere the black converter box using the provided double-sided tape. Failure to mount the box in a protected area can cause loss of warranty, product failure, overheating, and potential fire.
Locate a grounding point such as an existing screw or bolt in the frame of the vehicle. If no suitable point exists, drill a 3/32" pilot hole. The area should be free from rust, dirt, and paint; use an abrasive pad or paper to remove rust and paint if necessary. Secure the white ground wire with the ring terminal on the existing fastener or with 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.
Route the black power wire from the vehicle battery as shown on the provided Powered Converter Lead Instruction Sheet. Use 12 GA wire or larger. Route the wire to the positive battery terminal, 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.
Install the 10-amp fuse in the fuse holder after all other installation steps are complete. The battery connection must be fuse-protected with a 10-amp maximum. Exceeding this rating can cause loss of warranty, overheating, and potential fire.
After connecting the 12-volt power wire 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. This test must be performed before considering the installation complete.
When not in use, roll up the 4-flat connector and store it in a convenient, out-of-the-way location. When in use, route the 4-flat to the center of the vehicle. Secure any loose wires with the provided cable ties. Install the provided 4-flat dust cover to help prevent corrosion.
Drilling is required only if no suitable existing grounding point (screw or bolt) is available in the vehicle frame. If drilling is necessary, drill a 3/32" pilot hole. Before drilling, check for miscellaneous items that may be hidden behind or under any surface to avoid damage and personal injury.
Drill a 3/32" pilot hole if an existing grounding point is not available. The area should be free from rust, dirt, and paint before drilling.
Signal circuits: 5.0 amps per side. Tail/Running circuits: 7.5 amps total. Do not exceed the product rating or the tow vehicle lamp load rating, whichever is lower. The battery connection must be fuse-protected with a 10-amp maximum fuse.
The taillights are held in place with two 10mm bolts on each light housing (four bolts total). These bolts are removed in Step 2 and reinstalled in Step 5 after connecting the custom harness.
Yellow wire = Left turn signal. Green wire = Right turn signal. Red wire = Brake signal. Brown wire = Taillight (running light). These color-coded wires connect to the corresponding circuits in the vehicle's taillight harness.
Use 12 GA (12-gauge) wire or larger for the power wire connecting to the battery. The manual specifies 12 GA wire as the minimum size.
Use a ring terminal for the battery connection. The white ground wire includes a ring terminal. The black power wire should also use a ring terminal to connect to the positive battery terminal.
Disconnect the negative battery terminal before beginning installation and keep it fastened down and away from the battery. Do not lay tools across the positive terminal (typically noted with red covers or a red '+' symbol), as this can cause a ground short leading to sparks and/or electrical shocks. Reconnect the negative terminal only after all other installation steps are complete.
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.
Do not mount the converter box in areas exposed to spray and debris from the rear wheels and road. The box must be mounted in a flat, clean, protected area. Failure to mount in a protected location can cause loss of warranty, product failure, overheating, and potential fire.
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. Also avoid pinch points and hot or rotating components when routing the 12 GA wire to the battery.
After installation, test for proper function by using a test light, 4-flat tester, or connecting a properly wired trailer. Verify that all wires are secure and that the converter box is properly mounted in a protected location. Ensure the 4-flat dust cover is installed 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 manual does not specify an inspection interval; consult the vehicle owner's manual or contact the vehicle manufacturer for more information on maintenance schedules.
The Curt 56552 is designed for SUVs and vans with 12-volt negative ground electrical systems. Confirm your specific vehicle model and year with a fitment database or contact Curt Manufacturing before purchasing.
Yes, disconnect the negative battery terminal before starting installation and keep it secured away from the battery. Reconnect it only after all other steps are complete.
Drilling is required only if no existing grounding point is available in the vehicle frame. If drilling is necessary, drill a 3/32" pilot hole. Always check for hidden items before drilling.
The battery connection must use a 10-amp maximum fuse. Exceeding this rating can cause loss of warranty, overheating, and potential fire.
Yellow = left turn, green = right turn, red = brake, brown = taillight. These connect to the corresponding vehicle circuits.
Signal circuits: 5.0 amps per side. Tail/Running circuits: 7.5 amps total. Do not exceed the product rating or the tow vehicle lamp load rating, whichever is lower.
If the fish wire gets hung up on something during installation, push back down, wiggle it around, or twist the wire to loosen it from what it is caught on. Ensure the fish wire is long enough to stick out on both sides of the hole before attempting to pull it through.
