CURT 56236 Multi-Function Tail Light Converter 4-Pin Wiring Harness

The CURT 56236 is a high-performance electrical converter designed to bridge the gap between complex vehicle lighting systems and standard trailer wiring. It provides a reliable 4-way flat output, ensuring your trailer lights perform consistently regardless of the season.

Product Description

Protecting your trailer's electrical system from the elements is essential for safety and longevity. The CURT 56236 multi-function converter features a potted design that seals internal components in a watertight enclosure, protecting them from moisture, road grime, and salt. By utilizing advanced surface mount technology (SMT), this converter reduces heat generation and resistance, offering a longer and more reliable service life for your vehicle-trailer connection.

Features & Benefits

• Potted Design: Seals internal electronics in a watertight enclosure to resist impact, vibration, and moisture, ensuring reliability in all weather conditions.
• Surface Mount Technology (SMT): Uses compact circuit board components to lower electrical resistance and heat, resulting in a longer product life cycle.
• Microcontroller Integration: Senses current flow to provide rapid protection against overloads and short circuits, keeping your system safe.
• Universal Compatibility: Designed to splice into two-wire, three-wire, or PWM wiring systems, converting them into a standard 4-way flat trailer output.

Key Points & Helpful Resources

• Power Requirement: Please note that a powered converter wiring kit (part #55152) is required for successful installation.
• Compatibility: This unit is compatible with most vehicle-trailer combinations; however, professional installation is recommended if you are not experienced with automotive electrical systems.
• Installation: Includes color-coded wires and a wiring guide for simplified setup.
