Can the Backup Alarm be Disabled on Curt Trailer Connector for Ford and GM Trucks
Updated 08/03/2015 | Published 08/01/2015
Question:
Hello, my truck did not come with a flat plug, just a round one. I bought this unit because it has both. Is there a way to disconnect the backup alarm? I dont necessarily need it and is kinda loud for my neighborhood. Plus my lights stay on for a period after shutting the truck off and it enables the alarm. Thank you.

Expert Reply:
You would have to sever the wiring that is going to the backup alarm part of Curt Trailer Connector # C57101. You should be able to access the back of it by removing the screws that hold the alarm in place.
