The 23-24 Mazda CX-50 CURT 4-flat Plug and Play Trailer Wiring (Part #CTW1808) fits the following vehicles: 2023-2024 Mazda CX-50. Always verify your specific year, make, and model before ordering.
Yes, the 23-24 Mazda CX-50 CURT 4-flat Plug and Play Trailer Wiring (Part #CTW1808) is designed to fit the 2023-2024 Mazda CX-50.
The 23-24 Mazda CX-50 CURT 4-flat Plug and Play Trailer Wiring (Part #CTW1808) fits 2023-2024 Mazda CX-50 models. The 2024 model year is the last year covered by this part number. For newer models, check for an updated version.
The 23-24 Mazda CX-50 CURT 4-flat Plug and Play Trailer Wiring (Part #CTW1808) Refer to the included instructions for installation details. Basic hand tools are typically all you need.
The Curt 56487 is a powered converter that converts a vehicle's taillight signals to a 4-flat trailer connector. It allows you to connect a trailer with functioning lights to your SUV or van, so the trailer lights operate in sync with your vehicle's taillights, turn signals and brake lights.
The Curt 56487 is designed for SUVs and vans with 12-volt negative ground electrical systems. The manual does not specify which vehicle models or years are compatible. Contact Curt Manufacturing or consult a fitment database with your vehicle's year, make and model to confirm compatibility.
No. The Curt 56487 is designed only for 12-volt negative ground systems. It cannot be used on 24-volt systems or positive ground systems.
Required tools are: ratchet, 10mm socket, socket extension, panel trim removal tool, Phillips screwdriver, flathead screwdriver, cutting tool, wire stripper, wire crimper, and electrical tape. You will also need an abrasive pad or paper to remove rust and paint from the grounding point.
The kit includes a custom wiring harness with yellow, green, white and black wires; a black converter box; a ground screw; a ring terminal; double-sided tape for mounting the converter box; cable ties; a 4-flat connector; a 4-flat dust cover; and a fuse holder with 10-amp fuse.
Yes. Step 1 requires you to locate the vehicle battery and disconnect the negative battery terminal before beginning installation. Fasten this wire down and away from the battery while completing the installation process.
You must remove the rear scuff panel, and on both the driver and passenger sides, remove the interior side trim panels. These panels provide access to the taillight wiring harness connectors where the custom harness is inserted.
After removing the interior side trim panels, locate the vehicle's taillight wiring harness connectors behind the trim. Separate the connectors from the taillight housing, taking care not to damage the locking tabs. Insert the custom wiring harness end with the yellow wire between the separated connectors on the driver side, ensuring the connectors are fully inserted with locking tabs in place. Repeat on the passenger side using the green wire.
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 to this surface using the provided double-sided tape. The manual indicates wiring locations S3 and S4 (behind driver and passenger side rear access panels) are used for this product.
You may not need to drill if you can secure the white ground wire with the ring terminal to an existing screw or bolt in the vehicle frame. If no suitable existing fastener is available, drill a 3/32" pilot hole in a clean area free from rust, dirt and paint (use an abrasive pad or paper to prepare the surface). 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 fastener is not available for grounding the white ground wire with its ring terminal.
Signal circuits (turn signals): 3.0 amps per side. Tail/Running circuits: 6.0 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.
Yellow wire = Left turn signal; Green wire = Right turn signal; Red wire = Brake light; Brown wire = Taillight/Running light. The white wire is the ground wire, and the black wire is the power wire that connects to the vehicle battery.
Route the black 12-gauge power wire from the vehicle battery to the converter, 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 steps are complete.
Use a 10-amp fuse maximum. The battery connection must be fuse-protected with a 10-amp max fuse. Install the fuse after all other installation steps are complete.
Use a ring terminal for the battery connection. The white ground wire also uses a ring terminal, which is secured to the vehicle body with the provided screw or a drilled 3/32" hole.
The power wire should be 12-gauge or larger.
Do not exceed the product rating or tow vehicle lamp load rating, whichever is lower. The battery connection must be fuse-protected with a 10-amp maximum. Exceeding the product rating can cause loss of warranty, overheating and potential fire. Additionally, before drilling, check for miscellaneous items that may be hidden behind or under any surface to avoid damage and personal injury.
After installation, verify that the harness is functioning by attaching the 4-flat connector to any trailer with functioning lights. The taillights on the vehicle to be towed should function along with the taillights on the vehicle that is powering them. Test using a test light or a properly wired trailer.
Periodic inspection of all wires and connections should be performed to ensure there is no visible damage or loose connections. When not in use, roll up the 4-flat connector and store it in a convenient, out-of-the-way location inside the trunk. Install the provided 4-flat dust cover to help prevent corrosion.
Route the green wire over and down behind the interior side panel and out to the passenger side behind the removed scuff panel. Zip tie as needed along the rear bumper.
When not in use, roll up the 4-flat connector and store it in a convenient, out-of-the-way location inside the trunk. When in use, route the 4-flat to the center of the vehicle and out of the trunk. Install the provided 4-flat dust cover to help prevent corrosion.
The Curt 56487 is designed for SUVs and vans with 12-volt negative ground electrical systems. Confirm your vehicle's compatibility with Curt Manufacturing or a fitment database before purchasing.
Drilling may be required only if no existing fastener is available for the ground wire. If needed, drill a 3/32" pilot hole. Always check for hidden items behind or under surfaces before drilling.
Use a 10-amp fuse maximum. The battery connection must be fuse-protected, and the fuse should be installed after all other installation steps are complete.
Use 12-gauge wire or larger for the power wire connecting to the vehicle battery.
Do not exceed the product rating or tow vehicle lamp load rating. The battery connection must be fuse-protected with a 10-amp maximum. Exceeding the rating can cause loss of warranty, overheating and potential fire.
First, verify that the custom harness is functioning by attaching the 4-flat connector to a trailer with functioning lights. The taillights on the vehicle to be towed should function along with the taillights on the vehicle powering them. If they do not, check that: (1) the custom harness connectors are fully inserted with locking tabs in place at both the driver and passenger side taillight connections; (2) the converter box is properly mounted and not damaged; (3) the ground wire ring terminal is securely attached to the vehicle frame; (4) the black power wire is properly connected to the positive battery terminal with a ring terminal; (5) the 10-amp fuse is installed and not blown; and (6) all wire connections are secure and show no visible damage.
