Expert Reply:
You will have to run the power wire for the Curt Trailer wiring harness # C56261 to the battery for it to function properly. The reason it is needed is to protect the delicate wiring of your vehicle. The # C59236 uses the taillight circuits of your Sienna as signal wires only and draws all of the amperage for powering the trailer taillights directly from the vehicle battery.
