When your vehicle does not readily provide an electrical connection for hooking up your trailer, CURT electrical converts offer the solution. Working tail lights on your trailer are absolutely essential any time you tow, and a converter provides an effective way to properly equip your vehicle for safe towing. A CURT electrical converter, much like our custom vehicle-to-trailer wiring harnesses, provides a trailer connector on your vehicle by slicing into the vehicle's electrical system. Electrical converters are designed to splice directly into the taillight wiring, rather than plugging into various sockets, giving them the nickname "taillight converters". Though it requires a little extra work compared to a custom wiring harness, a tail light converter offers a reliable, long-term connector solution. This converter wiring kit is intended to be used with various CURT powered taillight converters. Powered converters require a direct connection to the vehicle's battery, and the powered converter wiring kit #55151 provides all of the components needed to establish a secure connection. The kit includes 20 feet of 12 gauge wire, a 10-amp fuse, an in-line fuse holder, a 3/8" ring terminal, a butt connector, a 14-1/2" cable tie and eight 6" cable ties. This wiring kit is rated at 10 amps and comes included with CURT powered electrical converters #59146, #59187, #59190, #59200 and #59201.

Experts available to answer your questions
Call 888-634-9494The Curt 55151 is a converter wiring kit designed to manage trailer lighting circuits on tow vehicles. It converts and distributes power from the vehicle's battery to trailer brake, taillight, and turn signal circuits. The kit includes a converter module, wiring harness with color-coded wires (red for brake, brown for taillight, yellow for left turn, green for right turn), a white ground wire with ring terminal, butt connectors, a fuse holder with 10 amp fuse, cable ties, double-sided tape, and a mounting screw.
The Curt 55151 converter is designed for use only on 12 volt negative ground systems. It is not compatible with positive ground or 24 volt systems.
You will need a crimping tool, wire stripper, and Phillips screwdriver. A 3/32" drill bit is also required if you need to drill a hole for the ground wire attachment screw.
The kit includes butt connectors, a fuse holder with 10 amp fuse, a ring terminal for the white ground wire, cable ties, double-sided tape for mounting the converter, and a screw for attaching the ground wire to the vehicle body.
Yes. You must disconnect the negative battery cable before wiring the power wire. This is a critical safety step to prevent electrical shock and short circuits during installation.
Before drilling, check for miscellaneous items that may be behind or under any surface. This prevents accidental damage to hidden components, wiring, or fuel lines that could cause personal injury or property damage.
Route 12 GA wire or larger to the vehicle battery location, taking care to avoid any pinch points and hot or rotating components. Secure the power wire to the vehicle chassis using the cable ties provided. 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.
Use 12 GA wire or larger for the power wire routed to the vehicle battery. The manual specifies 12-10 gauge for the battery connection.
Attach the ring terminal of the white ground wire to the vehicle body using the provided screw. If necessary, drill a 3/32" hole to mount the screw. Ensure the connection is secure and makes good contact with bare metal for proper grounding.
Mount the converter using the provided double-sided tape. The manual notes that battery location may differ depending on the vehicle, and illustrations are for reference only. Ensure the converter is mounted in a location that is accessible and protected from moisture and heat.
Drilling is required only if you need to attach the ground wire screw and no existing hole is available. In that case, drill a 3/32" hole. No other drilling or permanent modifications are required for standard installation.
The battery connection must be fuse protected with a 10 amp maximum fuse. Do not exceed this rating. The fuse holder with 10 amp fuse is included in the kit and must be installed after all other steps are complete.
The color-coded wires are: red for brake, brown for taillight, yellow for left turn, and green for right turn. The white wire is the ground wire with a ring terminal for vehicle body attachment.
If using the converter as a powered module for a two-wire system, the red brake wire must be grounded. This configuration allows the converter to manage brake signals in a simplified two-wire trailer lighting setup.
Do not exceed the product rating or the tow vehicle's lamp load rating, whichever is lower. Exceeding the rating can cause loss of warranty, overheating, and potential fire. The specific product rating is not stated in the manual; contact Curt Manufacturing at 1.877.287.8634 for this specification.
Sharp edges on sheet metal can cut through the wire insulation, causing short circuits, electrical fires, or loss of power to the trailer lights. Use an existing grommet, add a new grommet, or apply silicone sealant to protect the wire from damage.
Install the fuse after all other installation steps are complete. This ensures that the circuit is properly configured before power is applied, reducing the risk of electrical damage or fire.
The Curt 55151 is designed for 12 volt negative ground systems only. It is not compatible with positive ground or 24 volt systems. Verify your vehicle's electrical system before purchase.
