Is the Curt Converter Box for a 2002 Toyota Tundra Replaceable
Question:
Can I purchase just the converter without the harness that goes to the battery? My converter failed

Expert Reply:
The converter box for the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness part # C55378 is not available as a separate replacement part unfortunately. However, I actually recommend you take a look at the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness part # 118378 instead which we have found to be much more reliable. The issue that causes the converter boxes to fail is excessive movement. The above Curt converter box attaches using adhesive which is not always the best method. The Tekonsha converter box attaches via a self tapping screw which is going to reduce movement and overall increase its longevity. It is also more cost effective.
The install process is virtually identical which you can see from the attached video.

I recently installed the Curt T-connector, part #C55378 on my 2002 Toyota Tundra. I am not able to get the brake lights to work on the trailer. Left and right directionals and running (tail) lights are working. Just no brake or directionals. Am I using the correct part? Any advice?
