Installation of Curt Brake Controller Adapter
To install your Curt electric brake controller, you need to connect the wiring of the controller to your vehicle. Certain auto manufacturers offer pre-wired options, typically known as tow packages, wherein wiring is run for you from the dash to the trailer connector on the back of your vehicle. When this is done, a port is installed at your dash so that you can easily plug in a brake controller.
This adapter plugs into the port on your vehicle's built-in brake control wiring harness. The harness is located underneath the dash, to the left of the steering column, and it is taped to another harness near the emergency brake pedal.
No hardwiring is required to install this adapter. After you plug it into the factory port, you simply plug the other end of the adapter directly into your electric trailer brake controller. Because there are no wires to connect, installation is not permanent. You can unplug and remove your brake controller at any time to transfer it to another vehicle or securely stow it away.

This is used on a 2020 Chevy Silverado 1500 pulling a 16' enclosed cargo trailer. With the appropriate adaptor cable it was very easy to install, just plug in and mount in a convenient spot. Once installed it was simple to get it matched to the weight and brake setup of the trailer. Close to 6k miles with it so far & very happy.

- Brake Controller For Towing Trailer With Electric Over Hydraulic Brakes 2021 Chevy Silverado 2500If your 2021 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 has a factory brake controller you will most likely need the Hydrastar Electric Over Hydraulic Actuator Adapter Module # HBA-CAM to allow your factory controller to operate correctly. Otherwise you will need a brake controller like the Curt Assure Trailer Brake Controller # C49UR which is capable of working on electric over hydraulic brakes. This controller will connect to the factory wiring using the Wiring Adapter # C51525.

view full answer... - What Brake Controller Do You Recommend For My 2022 GMC Yukon XL AT4I prefer brake controllers that have proportional braking. Your trailer gets the same braking power that you are applying in your tow vehicle. With that in mind, my recommended brake controller is the Curt Spectrum Trailer Brake Controller - 1 to 4 Axles - Proportional - Dash Mount, part # C51170. You will also need the Curt Custom Wiring Adapter for Trailer Brake Controllers - Dual Plug In, part # C51525. This controller can be installed in your cab in any orientation and it plugs into...
view full answer... - Is Curt Spectrum Trailer Brake Controller A Good Option For 2020 Chevy Silverado 1500The Curt Spectrum Trailer Brake Controller part # C51170 and the custom wiring adapter part # C51525 is a great option for the 2020 Chevy Silverado 1500 because of its simple out of the way installation. The knob can be installed in any easy to reach location at any orientation. The main unit installs out of the way and utilizes the custom adapter plug for your truck to plug into the factory port. I have attached the measurements of both the main unit and the knob for you to get an idea...

- Curt Spectrum Trailer Brake Controller and Charge Line Circuits On a 2022 Chevy Silverado 1500 LTDThe Curt Spectrum Trailer Brake Controller # C51170 will not charge the breakaway battery on your 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 LTD. The charge line portion of the 7-way trailer connector runs on a separate terminal(see image). The charge line will be located in the 1 o'clock position while power from the brake controller is sent through the terminal in the 5 o'clock position. If you are not getting 12 volt power to this terminal you will want to check the fuses on your Silverado. The...

- Can Curt Spectrum Brake Controller Bypass OEM Controller of 2020 Chevy Silverado 1500You can bypass the OEM brake controller of your 2020 Chevy Silverado 1500 with the Curt Spectrum part # C51170 but the truck will need to be taken to a dealer so they can reflash the the computer. The correct install harness for your truck and this controller is the part # C51525.
view full answer... - Can Redarc Tow Pro Elite Brake Controller Install in 2021 Yukon XL DenaliThe Redarc Tow Pro Elite brake controller part # RED44FR can install in your 2021 GMC Yukon XL but you'll need to use the correct brake controller install harness which is part # C51525. You'd have to cut the black connector off of the harness and wire it by color to the harness of the Redarc and you'd be set. This is one of the nicest controllers out there as it uses an inertia sensor to determine how much brake pressure to apply and only installs a small knob on the dash.
view full answer... - How Would Brake Controller Install in 2021 Chevy TahoeIf that part is available it would be through GM only. But you could also bypass needing a connector and just wire what you have found directly to a brake controller like the Brake EVN part # TK63VR instead. For this controller the black wire is the 12 volt power wire, red is stoplight circuit, blue is brake output, and white is ground.
view full answer... - Where is the Factory Trailer Brake Controller Port On a 2022 Chevrolet TahoeIf your 2022 Chevrolet Tahoe does not have the factory tow package then the plug may not be there. If this is the case you would need to hardwire in a brake controller. If your Tahoe does have the tow package then the plug will be under the dash. The plug will often times be taped together with another harness making it not always apparent that it is the plug you are looking for. You may need to do some searching to find the correct plug. Currently at this time (2/10/2022) the only adapter...

The Assure is Curt's answer to the P3 part # 90195 as it has a full screen that uses full words instead of codes to decipher that is also proportional.

The thing that I do not like to hear is when you replaced the controller your issues changed. I would begin by checking the Curt Custom Wiring Adapter # C51525 for the ensure that it is receiving the correct power from your Silverado. You can use a Test Light # PTW2992 or Multimeter # PT29ZR to test the adapter wiring. With the ignition on you should have constant 12 volt power to the...

view full answer... - Troubleshooting No Power To A Curt Spectrum Brake Controller In A 2022 Chevy Silverado 1500Hi Adam, Since you used the Curt Custom Wiring Adapter for Trailer Brake Controllers # C51525 to install the Curt Spectrum Trailer Brake Controller # C51170 you likely have either a blown trailer brake fuse or they just never installed one to begin with. The trailer brake fuse should be number 84 in the engine compartment fuse block. I recommend checking it and seeing if you're getting power or if you just need to add in a fuse to get power to the brake controller.

view full answer... - Comparing Redarc Liberty and Curt Spectrum Brake Controllers For a 2023 GMC Sierra 1500Personally, I have seen a lot fewer issues with the Redarc Tow-Pro Liberty # RED24FR than with the Curt Spectrum # C51170. The Spectrum was released in early 2018. Currently Redarc only offers the one size control knob. To install the Redarc Liberty # RED24FR in your 2023 GMC Sierra 1500 you will need the Tekonsha Pigtail # 3064-P and the Redarc to Tekonsha Adapter # 331-TPH-017. This will support up to 2 braking axles or 4 brake assemblies. If you go with the Curt Spectrum # C51170...
