It sounds like something may have got wired wrong on the Curt 2 to 3 Wire Tail Light Converter # C56196. To install this converter correctly you'll need to:
1. Use the double-sided tape on the
converter to secure it at the rear of the
TOWING vehicle.
2. Connect Yellow Wire (Input) to TOWING
vehicle’s Left Turn/Brake Wire.
3. Connect Green Wire (Input) to TOWING
vehicle’s Right Turn/Brake Wire.
4. Connect Yellow Wire (Output) to TOWED
vehicle’s Left Turn Wire.
5. Connect Green Wire (Output) to TOWED
vehicle’s Right Turn Wire.
6. Connect Red Wire (Output) to TOWED
vehicle’s Brake Wire.
7. Connect White Wire (Ground) to the chassis
of the TOWING vehicle. (TOWED vehicle
connection must include ground.)
If you're still having issues after this, then you likely just have a bad unit and will need to replace it.
