IMPORTANT: Read and follow installation manual carefully.
Failure to do so could result in damage to the brake control unit,
loss of trailer brakes or poor brake performance.
Disconnect the electrical plug between the trailer and tow vehicle
before testing a breakaway switch. Failure to disconnect may
damage the brake control unit. Avoid mounting the brake control
module near a CB radio or other RF transmitter.
The main module must be mounted firmly in place.
Failure to do so could lead to improper operation and / or brake failure.
The main module's positive (with 30-amp circuit
breaker) and ground wires must be connected directly to the tow
vehicle's battery using a minimum of 10-gauge stranded wire.
Connecting to existing wiring or an alternate ground may damage
the vehicle's circuits, lead to failure of the brake control module,
loss of trailer brakes or vehicle fire. Note: Removal of the factory
quick plug can void the warranty.

• Brake control harness, supplied with the tow vehicle (if equipped)
• CURT quick plug harness - custom connector for specific vehicles
(see the CURT catalog for availability)
• CURT #51515 / #51516 - quick plug with pigtails
• CURT #51500 - universal brake control wiring kit
One or more of the following may be needed for installation:
WIRING
Disconnect the tow vehicle's negative battery terminal from its
battery post before beginning the installation process. Most trucks
and utility vehicles are equipped with a plug from the factory that
allows quick brake control installation. Check the vehicle owner's
manual for plug availability, location and installation. If the mating
plug supplied with the vehicle is no longer available, a CURT quick
plug can be used. See the CURT catalog or visit curtmfg.com
for application information. For tow vehicles not equipped with
a factory brake control plug, we suggest purchasing the CURT
universal brake control wiring kit #51500.
Mount the 30-amp, auto-reset circuit breaker
as close to the battery as possible.
IMPORTANT: When passing wires through sheet metal, always
go through an existing grommet. If there is no grommet, install one
or use silicone sealant to protect the wires from sharp edges.
Insert two 10-gauge wires, one white and one black, from the
mounted brake control to the battery area. Using a ring terminal,
connect the black wire to the 'AUX' side of the 30-amp circuit
breaker. Leave the white wire to be connected later. Using a
10/12-gauge butt connector, attach the black wire from the 'AUX'
side of the 30-amp circuit breaker to the brake control's black
wire. Again using a 10/12-gauge butt connector, attach the white
wire from the battery area to the brake control's white wire. Run
a 10-gauge blue wire from the tow vehicle's trailer plug 'BRAKE'
terminal to the brake control. Using a 10/12-guage butt connector,
connect this wire to the brake control's blue wire.
NOTICE
If the device application cannot connect to the unit due to
an incorrect or missing PIN, contact CURT product support. They
will need the serial number located on the label of your unit.
