Video Transcript for Curt Wiring 55151 Review

Today we're going to review part number 55151. This is the Curt Powered Converter Wiring Kit. Now this kit will provide the wire that needs to be run to the vehicle battery to power the lights on your trailer. This kit is designed to work with all powered converter wiring harnesses and includes the necessary ring terminals, connectors to complete the installation of the power converter wiring harness. This is made to go with the part number 56146. I've got an example of that here. This is the powered converter right here. This part number will require this wiring kit to be connected to your vehicle.

Basically what you end up doing, this kit, first let me show you what it includes in this kit and then I'm going to show you how that wires up. This kit will include 20 feet of 12 gauge wire. It includes this inline fuse holder, a 10 amp fuse, a 3/8 inch diameter ring terminal, a couple of butt connectors, a grounding screw, some cable ties to take up any slack in the wiring and a large piece of double face tape. Basically when you use these parts to install your power converter, what you'll do is again, the double face tape is used to put on your converter, to attach it to a spot so it doesn't move around. Now there is a white wire that comes out of your converter with a ring terminal on it. You can use the grounding screw for that. Then the black wire is the power or battery wire that needs to run to the front of your battery. Just like that, so what you end up doing is you'll take this extra length of wire and you'll take one end of it, use one of the butt connectors and you'll attach that just like that. Then you'll run this length of wire up to the front of your vehicle to attach to your battery. Then the other end, see where the other ...

There it is, right there. Once you run this other end up there and before you attach it to the battery, you want to run it through this inline fuse holder. Again, you'll take another butt connector, attach it one side of the fuse holder and then on the other side you'll put this ring terminal and then that's what will attach to your positive posts of your battery. Then before you hook everything up, you just open up your inline fuse holder, take your 10 amp included fuse, push it into the fuse holder, put the cap back on it. Then you'll be all ready to go. Then like I say with these cable ties, if there's any wire hanging down, you can take it up with the cable ties. That's how this wiring kit would work with the 56146 power converter kit. That should do it for the review on part number 55151, the Curt Powered Converter Wiring Kit.

Excellent customer service! Needed a replacement for one that didn't work, they were able to send me a new one incredible fast.



by:

Have purchased a number of hitches and wire harness for a number of different vehicles I have owned. All products were easy to install and worked perfectly . The instructions were clear and quality of their products is top notch. I have used their customer service to ensure I was ordering the right product for a older vehicle (75 Toyota Landcruiser) they were patient and ensured I got the right set . Their customer service is matched by their pricing and that would be hard to beat . Delivery (Canada) was exceptionally fast. Probably not my last order and I have recommended this company and their products to my friends. If your considering a purchase I don't think you will be disappointed and you will be saving lots of money doing it yourself.



by:

Just what is needed. Took one star off because the yellow battery crimp connector is a bit shallow, missed it and had to get another from autozone.



by:

This is a very complex way to tap the taillight system to hook up two trailer lights but----- welcome to the 21st century.



by:

This was very helpful with the install. Easy to run to battery underneath with car on jack stands.



by:

yes,it is nothing more than 12ga wire plus a couple of terminals,
it comes 20' long most places only do 16'....it is easy to cut,
how do you stretch ?
besides,it was inexpensive to buy



by:

Contained everything pictured and worked well for running power to the powered tail light converter

  • Wiring A Furrion Camera System To Work While Not Hooked Up To The Tow Vehicle
    Your trailer is only going to have power running to the running light and reverse light circuits (one of which is powering your camera) while hooked up to the truck. To bypass this you can wire the lights to the battery using two diodes # RM-792 (to prevent feedback), an in-line fuse # 55151, a switch # 37212225 to control the power running to the camera as needed, and some wiring. You'll want to splice the power wire from this switch together with the power wire already running to your...

  • Trailer Wiring Harness for a 1986 Toyota Truck with LED Tail Lights and Fixing Hyperflash
    First, to fix the hyperflash problem, you may need to use something like an LED Light Bulb Load-Resistor Kit, # DI34ZR. You would need to use one for every light affected. This product was designed specifically to fix hyperflashing or burned-out bulb indicators on turn signals with LED lights. I have included a link to the installation details for reference. When you say 'deadended' do you mean that the right side signal is not separately grounded? If so, then this could be causing the...

  • Does Curt Trailer Wiring Harness for 2020 Toyota Camry Hybrid Require 55151 Install Harness
    For your 2020 Toyota Camry Hybrid the Curt trailer wiring harness part # C85FV is a confirmed fit. The wiring harness part # 55151 is required to run the power wire up to the battery as well. It is confusing that it shows as "not a fit" for your vehicle but I can assure you it does.

  • Curt # C56190 Taillight Converter for 2013 Audi Q5
    I'm not sure which video you're speaking of, but I've confirmed with Curt that the # C56190 is indeed the correct taillight converter for your 2013 Q5. The # 55151 wiring kit is also needed to make the fused connection at the battery. I've provided you with a diagram showing an install diagram. There should be 5 wires exiting the 'input' side of the converter, a white ground wire, brown for running lights, yellow for left turn, red for brake light, green for right turn and black to the...

    Yes, you can use the Curt 56187 wiring on the 2016 Mercedes-Benz CLA-250. We only carry the upgraded version # C56496 and you will need the Powered Converter Wiring Kit # 55151 with either of the Curt converters.

  • What is the Difference Between the Curt C56190 and C59236 for 2011 Audi SQ5
    I can see why this might be confusing. The Curt # C59236 is a complete wiring kit that comes with the wire to run from the converter module to the battery, where if you went with the Curt # C56190 you would also need the Powered Converter Wiring Kit # 55151 for the wiring and fuse to run to the battery. The Curt # C59236 also has a slightly higher amp rating for the tail lights/turn signals, so I recommend going with that-it's also a complete kit so there's no need to worry about adding...

  • Will Curt Upgraded Circuit Protected Wiring Harness Fit A 2010 Land Rover Range Rover HSE?

You will need to use install kit # 55151 to wire the harness to the positive terminal of your battery. I included video reviews of the products mentioned for you to take a look at.

  • Can Trailer Running Lights be Powered Off of a Battery When Not Connected to a Trailer
    I do have a way that you can wire the lights on the trailer so that they will come on when connected to the tow vehicle or off of a battery on the trailer. What you will need to do is add 2 diodes, # RM-792, to the wiring set up. You will also need a switch, # D16740, and a wiring installation kit # 55151. I have included a diagram of how this should all be wired. Basically the wiring to the light will come from 2 sources; the trailer connector, and the battery via a switch. The diode...

  • Trailer Wiring Options for the 2014 Ford Escape
    A couple of wiring harnesses have recently been listed as a fit. For the 2014 Ford Escape without the towing package you can use wiring harness # C56190 or # 118566. If you decide to go with # C56190 you also need installation kit # 55151. Both harnesses will install the same way. You will need to use the included circuit tester to test the vehicle wiring behind the tail lights and tap into them as described in the linked instructions.

  • Is Curt Powered Tail Light Converter Kit Compatible with a 2014 BMW X1
    The Curt Upgraded Circuit Protected Powered Tail Light Converter w Hardwire Kit # C59496 actually replaced the discontinued part 56146 and the Powered Converter Wiring Kit # 55151 that you have. Both of these are compatible with your 2014 BMW X1 which you can see from the attached installation video of the older kit you have on a 2014 BMW X1. The thing about this kit is that its a universal fit since you splice the wiring in so it is compatible with just about any vehicle out there.

  • Will the BMW 5 Series Wagon Hitch Fit the BMW 5 Series Sedan

This is a 1-1/4 inch receiver hitch with 2,000 lbs towing capacity and 200 lbs tongue weight capacity which is the same as the hitch for the wagon that you referred to. The Curt Class I Hitch, item # C11194, hitch is designed for the 2008 BMW 5 Series Wagon and will not fit the Sedan models. At this time our suppliers do not offer a 2 inch receiver hitch for the 2008 BMW 5 Series. If...

  • Can Trailer Wiring Harness Power Wire be Connected to Outlet at Back of Vehicle Instead of Battery
    Only the battery should be used when installing any type of powered trailer wiring harness. Part of the reason is that it is not tested in any other way. A connection to the battery is reliable but going through some other circuit could lean to unforeseen and unwanted operation of the system. Plus, if the circuit for that power outlet at the back is fused with or otherwise connected to any other circuit then you will lose that level of isolation between the tow vehicle wiring and the trailer...

  • Is In-Line Fuse Needed When Installing Wiring Harness on 2010 Volkswagen CC
    Yes, you will want to install an in-line fuse close to the battery when running a power wire directly from the battery to the converter. When installing Wiring Harness on your 2010 Volkswagen CC you will want to use the Curt Powered Converter Wiring Kit, part # 55151, to run the separate wire to the battery. This part will contain 20 feet of 12-gauge wire and an in-line fuse holder with a 10-amp fuse that is used to connect the vehicles battery to the powered converter. I am including...

  • Does the Wire Need to Be Run to Battery of a 2010 Volkswagen CC to Install Trailer Wiring
    Sounds like you are asking if it is necessary to run the power wire of the Curt Wiring Harness part # C56200KIT to the positive side of your battery since the part # 55151 is just the portion of the harness that runs to the battery. You will have to run this wire for the wiring harness to function properly. The reason it is needed is to protect the delicate wiring of your vehicle. The # C59236 uses the taillight circuits of your CC as signal wires only and draws all of the amperage for...

  • Installation of Curt Wiring Harness on 2022 Mazda CX-5
    The best way to identify the wires on your 2022 Mazda CX-5 is going to be with a tester like the # PTW2993. Wiring colors are not universal, and I was unable to find a wiring diagram that might show this. You could try to contact a local dealer to see if they have this information. If you don't want to use a tester, the only other way to do it is splice into wires until you find the right one which I would not recommend. Also, it looks like you only have the # C56496. You will also need...

This converter takes in separate stop and turn signals and outputs combined signals on the yellow and green (L & R) wires. You will also need Powered Converter Wiring Kit # 55151.

    The CURT Trailer Hitch, # 11126, will fit all model Mini Coopers EXCEPT the S series. You will not have to cut or trim any visible part of the bumper.

The Curt Upgraded Circuit Protected Powered Tail Light Converter # C56496 will adapt your 3-wire system to a 2-wire system so it is compatible with trailers. You will also need the # 55151 to complete the installation and possibly additional wire with # 12-1-1 depending on the length of the bus.

  • Parts Needed to Connect Battery Bank to Inside Lights on Snowmobile Trailer
    For your application I recommend using an in-line fuse holder like the 10 Amp Kit # 55151 or the 15 Amp Kit # C55152. These some with butt connectors and a lead wire to run for power so you get everything in a kit. A circuit breaker, like the 20 Amp # PK54520, is rated for higher things like a trickle charge from your tow vehicle battery to the trailer battery bank which is why I recommend the fuse instead of the circuit breaker. Aside from the fuse you'll need a switch like the Single...

  • Trailer Wiring Harness for 2012 Honda Civic
    To install a trailer wiring harness on your 2012 Honda Civic, all you'll need is the Tekonsha # 118420. You won't need the # 55151 wiring kit, as the # 118420 draws all the power it needs through the vehicle's taillight circuits. The Curt # C11391 hitch you'd looked at is a confirmed fit for your vehicle. You'll also need a ball mount like # 3593, a # PC2 hitch pin and # 19256 for a 1-7/8 or # 19258 for a 2 inch trailer ball. I've linked to some installation videos you might find helpful.
