Features to know about

Installs Without Cutting or Splicing: Plug-In T-Connector Harness

Wiring a trailer can be a real headache if you have to splice into factory wires. The Curt T-Connector with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector skips that work entirely. It plugs directly into the vehicle’s existing tail light connectors for a clean, factory-style hookup. No wire cutting, no guesswork—just plug it in and it’s ready to go.

Keeps Circuits Protected: Built-In Powered Converter

Trailer lights can overload a vehicle’s delicate lighting circuits if not properly isolated. This harness includes a powered converter that draws power directly from the battery, not the tail light wiring. It keeps the vehicle electronics safe while sending a strong, consistent signal to the trailer lights every time you brake or turn.

Cleans Up the Job: Hidden 4-Flat Connector with Plug and Lead Design

The harness uses a hidden plug-and-lead layout so you can route the 4-flat connector out of sight when not towing. It’s a simple way to keep things tidy while still having quick access when it’s time to hook up the trailer.

Ready for DIY Installations: Works Without a Factory Tow Package

Even if the vehicle doesn’t have a tow package, this harness has everything it needs to make towing possible. The direct-fit connectors and converter let you add trailer lighting from scratch, making it a solid DIY option for anyone setting up towing for the first time.

Nice that this interfaces with factory taillight connectors, but still need to run a wire up to the battery. Still that's on Ford. Good quality parts and worked perfectly.

@William That's great to hear William. Thanks for coming back and letting us know.

On the hybrid model this was so easy since the battery and all of the connections are in the same place. Plug and play. It probably only took about 10 minutes to install. No issues with the installation and the lights on trailers work great.

Adam far exceeded my expectations!! I had an immediate need for a part. He not only delivered but delivered before promised!!! I have bought 3 trailer hitches a trailer and multiple smaller items from etrailer.com and we have always had the best experience.

Excelent kit
Works perfectly.
My MKZ is a hybrid and has the battery in the trunk so wiring even easier than expected.
The YouTube video tutorials are a great help for the first time installing one of these.
I really like the isolated design. Great product!!

See what our Experts say about this CURT Custom Fit Vehicle Wiring

  • Recommended Towing Setup for a 2017 Lincoln MKZ Hybrid
    Yes, the automatic transmission in your 2017 Lincoln MKZ Hybrid is capable of towing a trailer. According to your owner's manual your vehicle has a maximum towing capacity of 1,000 lbs. Therefore, as long as your U-Haul trailer is less than 1,000 lbs. then you can safely tow it. In order to tow a trailer with your vehicle you will need a trailer hitch, wiring harness, and ball mount/hitch ball. For this, I recommend the Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 24897, the Curt...

  • Replacement Hardware Kit for Curt Hitch C12091
    Yes, we do have replacement hardware for your Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver item # C12091. It is the Replacement Hardware Kit for Trailer Hitches item # RHK. You will want to go to that product page and on the right side you will want to put in Curt for the manufacturer and C12091 for the Hitch item Number. This will get you a new set of hardware for your 2018 Lincoln MKZ. I linked a couple of installation videos on an older model MKZ. If you are in need of a wiring harness to control your...

  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2017 Lincoln MKZ that Allow Reinstallation of Lower Fascia
    For the Curt hitch part # C12091 for your 2017 Lincoln MKZ Curt decided to recommend removal of the lower fascia instead of trimming it and reinstalling it. They don't have recommendation on how to trim the fascia to get the hitch to fit but I am sure that if you wanted to come up with a way to trim it like the Draw Tite part # 24897 I am sure you could pretty easily. That being said I would recommend the Draw Tite over the Curt because the Draw Tite does not require the use of a stabilizer...

  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation for a 2014 Lincoln MKZ Hybrid
    I would recommend you go with a Class II hitch over a Class I hitch. The capacities will be higher and more hitch accessory options will be available. For example, with a Class I hitch you can only carry up to 2 bikes, whereas with a Class II you can carry up to 4. I attached a help article that covers the differences between hitch classes for you to check out as well. For a hitch I would recommend the Curt Hitch part # C12091. This is a Class II hitch that would work well towing a trailer...

  • Recommended Tow Bar Wiring Kit For A 2017 Lincoln MKZ
    When it comes to installing the tow bar wiring on your 2017 Lincoln MKZ The Roadmaster 4-Diode Universal Wiring Kit for Towed Vehicles - 7-Wire to 6-Wire Straight Cord # RM-152-98146-7 is the correct kit you would need. This kit is for a RV with a 7 round adapter and will make the Lincoln MKZ mirror the turn, stop and tail lights of the motor home. If your motorhome has a 4 flat connector you would need The Roadmaster Universal Hy-Power Diode Wiring Kit # RM-154. The # C56258 is used...

  • Troubleshooting No Brake Lights on Curt C56258 Harness on 2014 Lincoln MKZ
    It sounds like you're not getting a signal on the brake light circuit anywhere on the plug of the Curt # C56258 and there are a few things you can check out here. I would start by just making sure that the ground wire is secured to a paint and rust free spot on the vehicle's frame; this all could just be a situation where the ground isn't sufficient to power the brake lights. Next, you'll want to start testing out the wiring behind the harness on the Curt # C56258 and then where it plugs...
