Recommended Trailer Wiring Harness for 2016 Volkswagen Golf Sportswagen

Question:

I tried installing a Non-Powered Wiring Kit #56130 and the Right and Left turn signals work but the brakes only make 1 blink and stop. How is this part #118730 different other than connecting it to the battery? 2016 Volkswagen Golf SportWagen

The T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # 118730 is made specifically to work with your vehicle's components and the only confirmed fit we have for your vehicle. It does have a power draw directly from the battery as you stated so that it can have the power it needs to function correctly without causing issue to your factory electrical system. It has a ModuLite power module that ensures that you get the correct amperage to each circuit as your tail lights require higher amperage than your stop/turn lights.

It sounds like your stop light is currently tripping a circuit breaker to protect your system. This powered wiring harness will solve your issue.
