    Anyone used this and had issues getting it to work? I just spend all afternoon setting it up and have no brake lights at the trailer plug?? Rechecked everything twice. Calling Curt tomorrow but until then maybe someone has run into this before?

    Save the time... It's the box. Spent 2 nights after work trying to find what was causing me to only have 2v at the connector. Figured bad ground or bad connection somewhere, finally called Curt, only got about halfway through explaining it to them till the guy said I'll send you a new box. Seems to be a common problem... New box in and fixed, called back to see what they could do for all my wasted time and was told I got lucky they sent me a new one, great customer service...

    I bought that part as well, mine was just the box.

    I'm glad that part wasn't also broken on mine or I may have just shipped the whole thing back to them and told them to keep it...

    Good luck! Very happy with mine now just taking it apart and putting it back together a few times was a little frustrating.

    Ya I was not looking forwards to stripping mine apart as it was installed nice, fully loomed and tidy. Usually test stuff before finalizing wiring but i was confident being such a simple plug n play that it would work! DOH!
