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 Ford Mustang Mach-E (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 Ford Mustang Mach-E (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.

A 10mm socket is required to remove the 14 screws from the underbody panel.
The Curt 56546 is designed for passenger cars with rear taillights accessible from outside the trunk and 12-volt negative ground electrical systems only. The manual does not list specific vehicle makes, models or years. Consult your vehicle owner's manual to confirm it has a 12-volt negative ground system, or contact Curt Manufacturing for a vehicle-specific fitment database.
The Curt 56546 is a powered converter that converts vehicle taillight signals to trailer lighting signals. It connects to your vehicle's factory taillight wiring and battery to provide power for a trailer's 4-flat connector. The converter box houses the signal conversion electronics and mounts inside the vehicle near the taillight.
No. The Curt 56546 converter system is designed for 12-volt negative ground systems only and cannot be used on 24-volt vehicles.
Required tools are: ratchet, ratchet extension, 10mm socket, 8mm socket, wire crimper, fishwire, wire stripper, panel trim removal tool, and Phillips screwdriver. You will also need an abrasive pad or paper to clean rust and paint from the grounding point, and a drill with a 3/32" bit if you need to create a new ground hole.
Yes. You must disconnect the negative battery cable in Step 2 before beginning wiring work. Fasten the disconnected cable down and away from the battery. Do not reconnect the battery until after you have completed all wiring steps and are ready to test the converter.
Use a fishwire to route the harness through the bumper cavity. Starting on the driver's side, insert the fishwire down between the bumper cover and the vehicle body through the opening below the tail cavity. Locate the fishwire on the other side, tape the custom harness (with yellow wire) to the fishwire, and pull it back up to the driver's side. Attach the custom harness to the vehicle's factory wiring and to the taillight. Repeat this process on the passenger side with the green wire. Route both housings from the converter box next to the receiver hitch, above the bumper, using zip ties as needed.
Fishwire is a stiff wire, rope, string or cut-up wire hanger used to push or pull an electrical wire through a blind hole or cavity. Insert the fishwire through the blind hole and locate it on the other side. Use tape to secure the harness to the fishwire and pull it back. If the fishwire gets hung up, you may need to push back down, wiggle it around, or twist the wire to loosen it from what it is caught on. Make sure the fishwire is long enough to stick out on both sides.
Open the rear hatch. Use a trim tool to remove the tail light fastener covers. Use an 8mm socket to loosen the tail lights. Locate the tail light housing and separate the connectors, taking care not to damage the locking tabs. Set the tail light aside in a safe place. Repeat this process on the other side of the vehicle.
Yes. Using a 10mm socket, loosen the 12 fascia fasteners just below the rear bumper and drop the cover down. This provides access to route the fishwire through the bumper cavity. The fascia is reinstalled in Step 9 after all wiring is complete.
Drilling is required only if you cannot find an existing screw or bolt on the vehicle frame to use as a grounding point. If you must drill, create a 3/32" pilot hole in a flat area of the frame. Before drilling, check for miscellaneous items that may be hidden behind or under any surface to avoid damage and personal injury. Clean the area of rust, dirt and paint using an abrasive pad or paper before securing the white ground wire with the ring terminal.
Use 12 GA wire or larger for the power connection from the battery to the converter. Route the 12 GA wire to the vehicle battery location, 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.
The battery connection must be fuse-protected with a 15-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.
Signal circuits are rated for 5.0 amps per side. Tail and running circuits are rated for 7.5 amps total. Do not exceed these ratings or the product rating, whichever is lower. Also check your vehicle owner's manual or contact the vehicle manufacturer for your vehicle's lamp load rating.
The converter uses the following wire colors: Green for right turn signal, Red for brake, Yellow for left turn signal, and Brown for taillight. The custom harness includes a yellow wire for the left turn signal (driver's side) and a green wire for the right turn signal (passenger's side). The white wire is the ground connection.
Mount the black converter box on a flat spot inside the vehicle near the taillight using the provided double-sided tape. Ensure the surface is clean and dry before adhering the box.
Route the 12 GA black power wire to the positive (+) battery terminal and attach it using a ring terminal. Use butt connectors as needed. The white ground wire attaches to the vehicle body using the provided screw or a 3/32" drilled hole. Secure the power wire to the vehicle chassis using the provided cable ties, protecting it from sharp edges with an existing grommet, new grommet, or silicone. Install the 15-amp fuse after all other steps are complete.
Disconnect the negative battery cable before wiring the power wire. Do not lay tools across the positive battery terminal (typically marked with red covers or a red '+' symbol), as this can cause a ground short leading to sparks and electrical shocks. Fasten the disconnected negative cable down and away from the battery. Do not reconnect the battery until all wiring is complete.
Before drilling, check for miscellaneous items that may be hidden behind or under any surface to avoid damage and personal injury. This is especially important when drilling the 3/32" ground hole in the vehicle frame.
After completing all installation steps and reconnecting the battery, verify that the harness is functioning by attaching the battery and testing with a test light, 4-flat tester, or a functioning trailer. The manual also recommends testing with a test light or properly wired trailer to ensure proper function before final use.
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, only that inspections should be performed periodically.
The Curt 56546 includes a black converter box, custom harness with yellow and green wires, white ground wire with ring terminal, provided ground screw, double-sided tape for mounting the converter box, cable ties for securing the power wire, a 4-flat dust cover, and a 15-amp fuse holder. Butt connectors are shown in the wiring diagram but the manual does not explicitly state if they are included.
After connecting the converter to power and testing it with a test light, 4-flat tester, or functioning trailer, reinstall all items removed during installation. Install the provided 4-flat dust cover to help prevent corrosion. Ensure all fasteners are properly tightened and all wiring is secure.
The Curt 56546 is rated as 'Easy' installation difficulty. However, the manual notes that installation difficulty levels are based on time and effort involved and may vary depending on the installer's level of expertise, the condition of the vehicle, and having proper tools and equipment.
The Curt 56546 is designed for passenger cars with rear taillights accessible from outside the trunk and 12-volt negative ground systems only. Consult your vehicle owner's manual or contact Curt Manufacturing for specific vehicle fitment.
You need: ratchet, ratchet extension, 10mm and 8mm sockets, wire crimper, fishwire, wire stripper, panel trim removal tool, Phillips screwdriver, abrasive pad/paper, and a drill with 3/32" bit (if drilling a new ground hole).
Yes, you must disconnect the negative battery cable before beginning any wiring work. Do not reconnect until all wiring is complete and you are ready to test the converter.
Drilling is required only if you cannot find an existing screw or bolt on the vehicle frame for the ground connection. If needed, drill a 3/32" pilot hole. Always check for hidden items before drilling.
