Tow Bar Wiring Questions and Answers

  • Tail Light Wiring For Flat Towing a 2009 Ford Flex Limited with LED Tail Lights
  • The TrailerMate flat towing wiring harness # TM782048 fits a 2009 Ford Flex SEL or non-SEL so the LED lights will not be an issue. From what I have found to flat tow your Flex you will need to pull fuses so that the battery will not be drained. Consult your owners manual to confirm this and for other information regarding towing your vehicle. What I recommend to make pulling the fuse easier is a fuse bypass # RM76511. With this installed all you will have to do is flip a switch to bypass the

  • First, be sure to consult the Fit owners manual to determine if and how your Fit should be towed. Yes there are base plates for the 2007 Honda Fit from Blue Ox but only if it is a manual transmission. You would use # BX2252. For a compatible tow bar I recommend the Aventa # BX7445.

  • I do not have installation instructions for the TowDaddy Universal Tail Light Wiring Kit # TD10000S that you referenced specific to your 2013 Honda CR-V, but I can walk you through how it would install on your vehicle.

  • Will Brake-Lite Relay RM-88400 Be Required for a 2012 Jeep Liberty Using TrailerMate Wiring TM781027

This kit requires splicing directly into your towed vehicle lighting system. It provides a flat 4-pole connector at the front of the vehicle for connection to the mating connector at the rear of your RV. A simpler alternative is to use a kit that bypasses the Explorer wiring.

  • Can TrailerMate Tow Bar Wiring # TM781124 and Trailer Wiring Harness #118416 be Used Together
  • The TrailerMate # TM781124 and the Tow Ready # 118416 can indeed be used together. However, if you are using a supplemental braking system in your Wrangler Unlimited, you will need to install diodes inline with the TrailerMate harness to prevent backfeeding into the RV wiring. In most cases, you will need two diodes like part # RM-690, one on the right turn/brake and one on the left turn/brake circuit, unless you are using a supplemental braking system that requires the RV running lights to b

  • Where Does the Trailer Mate Tow Bar Wiring Harness Install on a 2013 Honda CR-V
  • The good news is that the Trailer Mate wiring harness # TM783120 will plug in line at the connectors behind the tail lights which should be more accessible. However, we have found that on some 2013 Honda CR-Vs the connection point for the regular trailer wiring harness, # C56158, is not present on all models. In this case, if that factory harness is not present on your vehicle, you will need to use # 119176KIT instead. I have included a link to the installation instructions for you.
