and mark the hole locations through the bracket.
3. Using a 1/8" diameter bit, drill holes in the marked locations.
4. With a screwdriver or a 1/4" nut driver, secure the bracket in place
using two of the provided self-tapping screws. Do not over-tighten.

Wiring
Disconnect the tow vehicle's negative battery terminal from its battery post before
beginning the wiring process. Most pick-ups and utility vehicles are equipped with
a plug from the factory that allows quick brake controller installation.
Check the owner's manual for plug availability, location and installation.
Use a CURT part# 51515 / 51516 universal trailer brake controller harness to
splice into the plug supplied with the vehicle or use a CURT custom wiring harness.
See the CURT catalog or visit curtmfg.com for application information.
For tow vehicles not equipped with a factory brake controller plug,
we suggest CURT brake control wiring kit, part# 51500.
Mount a 30-amp, auto reset, circuit breaker as close to the battery as possible.
IMPORTANT:
When passing wire through sheet metal, always go through an existing
grommet, add a grommet or use silicone sealer to protect the wire from sharp edges.
