CURT 59236 Weather-Resistant Multi-Function Splice-in Trailer Tail Light Converter Kit, 4-Pin Wiring Harness
Manufactured by: Curt
Rain, road grime and salt can deal a vicious blow to your trailer wiring, and it takes electrical components with an extra-thick shell to stand up to the elements The CURT multi-function electrical converter is an advanced taillight converter that offers the ultimate in vehicle compatibility and weather resistance, giving you a reliable wiring connection any season of the year The potted design seals the internal electrical components in a watertight enclosure and is filled with a solid compound to protect against impacts, vibrations and moisture for long-lasting use, even on the exterior of the vehicle.
The converter also features our advanced surface mount technology (SMT), using smaller components mounted directly to the surface of the circuit board This produces lower resistance, reduced heat generation, longer life cycles and higher reliability The CURT multi-function electrical converter comes with pigtail wires that are able to be spliced into two-wire, three-wire or PWM wiring system with combined stop and taillights.
It converts any of these systems to a simple two-wire system, using a standard 4-way flat output, to be compatible with most trailer wiring The converter is controlled using a microprocessor that is able to sense the current passing through it, allowing for quick reaction to dangerous conditions such as overload and short circuits It also filters unwanted input signals to protect your wiring systems and uses a mere seven volts for low-voltage operation.
The CURT multi-function taillight converter is a heavy-duty electrical converter for virtually any vehicle-trailer combination It comes with color-coded wires and an easy-to-read wiring guide, as well as a dust cover to protect the 4-way flat connector This package includes a powered converter wiring kit #55152 and four snap locks for faster, more secure splicing..
