Features to know about

Installs Without Cutting or Splicing: Plug-In Harness

Wiring a trailer doesn’t have to mean chasing wires or guessing at connections. This Curt T-Connector harness plugs straight into the existing tail light wiring to give you a 4-pole flat trailer connector. There’s no cutting, no splicing—just a clean plug-in install that gets your trailer lights working fast.

Handles Trailer Lighting with Solid Power: 3 Amps Stop/Turn and 5 Amps Taillights

When you hook up your trailer, this harness delivers reliable power where it counts—up to 3 amps per stop/turn circuit and 5 amps for the taillight circuit. That’s plenty for most standard trailer lighting setups, so your signals stay bright and consistent every time you hit the brakes or turn.

Built with a Powered Converter: Protects Vehicle Wiring

A powered converter keeps your vehicle’s circuits safe by drawing power directly from the battery instead of the light wiring. It isolates the trailer load and prevents feedback that can cause blown fuses or flickering lights. You get dependable trailer lighting without putting extra strain on your car’s electrical system.

Simple, Factory-Style Fit: Clean Install with 4-Flat Connection

The harness uses factory-style connectors that snap right into place, keeping everything tidy and well-fitted behind trim panels. The end result is a clean 4-flat plug ready for running lights, brake lights, and turn signals—so you can tow with confidence knowing everything is wired the right way.

Great product. Easy to install. Wiring harness was a snap. Highly recommend!

I'm very pleased with the product. I use my trailer once a week, sometimes twice a week for cutting my neighbor's grass and is still working just fine no problems



by:

I installed this harness on my 2003 Mercury Sable wagon. I had to remove one snap on connector on the harness (which voids the warranty) as my car does not have two snap connectors on the opposite tail light. Then I hard wired the remaining wire to the right turn signal on the car. It all worked fine. Great customer support from eTrailer who explained what needed to be done to avoid a warranty issue or to buy a different harness. The hard wire solution worked well.

    Yes, the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C12232 is compatible with your 2001 Mercury Sable station wagon as well as the sedans. This will only fit on models with the single passenger side exit exhaust. If you have a dual exhaust you will not be able to fit this receiver without modification to the exhaust.

  • Will the C12232 Class III Trailer Hitch Fit with Factory Dual-exhaust on a 1998 Mercury Sable
    I spoke with my contact at the manufacturer to make sure there were no issues with the factory dual exhaust on the 1998 Sable and found that you should have no trouble installing the hitch on your vehicle. You will need to temporarily lower the rear exhaust though. The installation instructions (see link) are clear and easy to follow. In addition to the hitch, you might also need the following to complete your towing set-up: Trailer Wiring Harness, # C55343 if you have the wagon and #...

  • Can a Trailer Hitch Be Installed on a 1997 Mercury Sable by a Mechanic

This hitch has a maximum gross trailer weight capacity of 3,500 lbs and a tongue weight capacity of 300 lbs.

  • Recommended Hitch for a 2001 Ford Escape
    The first year we have parts and hitches for Ford Escapes is 2001. They may have been released at the end of 2000 but the first model year in our system is 2001. I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch item # C13506. The Curt Hitch item # C13506 is a class III hitch with a 2" receiver. It has a 3,500 lbs towing capacity and a 350 lbs maximum tongue weight that can be increased to 5,000 lbs and 500 lbs when used with a weight distribution hitch.

  • Why Vehicle Wiring Harness, # C55255, Is Not Working In A 2002 Ford Escape
    On your 2002 Ford Escape you do not need the additional relay. That is only for the 2008 and newer Ford Escape. It sounds like you have the port, but do not have the tow package. Unplug the Vehicle Wiring Harness, # C55255, from your port on the vehicle and with a Circuit Tester Kit # PTW2993 check the vehicles port to see if you are getting current to all the pins in the port. If you have current to all the pins then the Vehicle Wiring Harness, # C55255, would be the problem. If you...

  • Hitch and Wiring for 2002 Ford Escape V6
    Curt's 2-inch Class III hitch # C13506 is confirmed to fit all versions of the 2002 Ford Escape. I verified this with Curt's Fit Guide. If you also need a 4-pole trailer wiring harness you can use part # C55255 if you have the factory tow package or part # C55343 if the Escape does not have the tow package.

  • Availability of Trailer Hitch for 1996 Ford Taurus With Dual Exhaust
    According to Curt Manufacturing, their # C12232 Class II hitch fits all models of the 1996 Ford Taurus, including the SHO and wagon. As long as your exhaust system is in the stock position, the hitch will fit great. If you'll be using the hitch for light duty towing, you'll also need a # C45522 ball mount and a # PC2 hitch pin and for a trailer ball use # A-80 for a 1-7/8 inch or # A-82 for a 2 inch ball.

  • Recommended Wiring Harness For 1997 Mercury Sable Wagon
    For your 1997 Mercury Sable Wagon, the wiring harness you need is part # C55343. This harness plugs directly into the Sable wiring with no cutting or splicing. You simply plug it into the connection points behind the tail lights on your vehicle. You will need to remove the tail light assemblies to access the plug-in harness. When working with electrical connectors I recommend using dielectric grease like part # 11755. This keeps dirt and moisture out of the electrical connections and...
