Basic hand tools are typically all you need.
CURT 51534 is a brake control harness designed to connect a brake controller to a vehicle's factory brake control connector. It includes a custom harness with a green 4-pin connector that interfaces with the factory harness under the driver-side dash.
The manual does not specify which vehicle makes, models or years are compatible with part 51534. Contact CURT product support at 877-287-8634 or visit curtmfg.com to confirm fitment for your specific vehicle.
You will need a ratchet, a panel trim removal tool, and a T15 Torx bit. The manual notes that proper tools will improve installation quality and reduce installation time. For a full tools reference guide, visit curtmfg.com/trailer-hitch-installation.
The manual requires that the vehicle ignition be off and not in the 'ON' or 'ACCESSORY' positions prior to installation, but does not explicitly state whether the battery must be disconnected. For safety, contact CURT product support at 877-287-8634 before proceeding.
Ensure the vehicle ignition is off and not in the 'ON' or 'ACCESSORY' positions before beginning installation.
The green 4-pin brake control harness connector is located under the driver-side dash, near the kick panel. To access it: (1) carefully pull down the cover underneath the dash using a panel trim removal tool, (2) use a T15 Torx bit to remove the screws retaining the panel, and (3) use the panel trim removal tool to carefully pull back the driver-side sill plate and kick panel to expose the connector.
Install the custom brake control harness to the factory harness by inserting the connectors all the way with the locking tabs in place. Before attaching to the vehicle connectors, plug the brake control adapter into the mating connector on the brake controller first. Ensure all locking tabs are fully seated.
After testing the harness and controller, replace all parts removed in reverse order of steps 1–3. Follow the brake controller manual for installation and setup instructions.
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. Additionally, do not exceed the product rating or tow vehicle lamp load rating, whichever is lower.
Test for proper function by using a test light or connecting a properly wired trailer. The manual requires that all steps be followed to ensure the product will function properly. For detailed testing procedures, refer to the brake controller manual.
The manual does not specify compatible vehicles. Contact CURT at 877-287-8634 or visit curtmfg.com to confirm fitment.
