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.
