Trailer Wiring Harness for a 2005 Jaguar X-type Sportwagon

Featured Help Information

Question:

I need to install a wiring kit to operate a 4-pole jet ski trailer. The dealer wants $700 for the wiring kit. Your part # 119176 looks like it does the same thing. Also my sport wagon has a cigarette lighter plug in the back cargo area so I dont have to run a wire to the front battery. Will this kit work since my Jag has a independent 3-wire system.

I spoke to my contact at Curt, the maker of the trailer hitch we carry for your car, and he said that a powered circuit protected wiring harness, item # 56146, will work on your vehicle. I inquired about the harness causing fault codes or any other problems and he said that as long as it is a powered and circuit protected harness you should not see any problems.

You will need to use a circuit tester, item # 3808 if needed, to test the vehicle wiring, behind the taillights, to make the stop, left, right and taillight connections and then run a 12 guage wire through a 10 amp fuse to the vehicle battery, from the converter.
