What Flat-Tow Wiring Kit Doesn't Require Drilling Or Splicing On A 2013 Fiat 500  

Published 11/05/2021

Question:

One final point of clarification Is there a conflict in this system that the brake and turn signal lights are both using the one set of bulbs on the Toad (Fiat)? When I press my RV brakes- my blue Ox brake system in the Toad will simultaneously also step on the Fiat brake pedal- this will turn on both Fiat brake bulbs If I have the turn signals on at the same time- and both the turn and brakes use the same bulb - then will the Fiat show only the brake lights and negate the turn signal action? I guess the bottom line is - does this system share the same bulb for both brake and turn signals? Its just that I see RM-88400 system eliminates this problem....but I assume that problem does not exist and the conflict of the RV signal and the Toad actual brake activation signal does not exist with the recommended C58911 system? I really appreciate your help

I recommend the Curt Towed-Vehicle RV Harness # C58911, it is a custom fit designed for the Fiat 500 and will plug into your factory wire harness without needing to splice wires.

You will be safe with this set up, as you mentioned there can be a problem with the signals going to the brake/blinker being overridden that would require the Roadmaster Brake-Lite Relay Kit for Towed Vehicles # RM-88400 but with the # C58911 you will be fine.
