Question:

Im trying to connect auxiliary brake and turn signals to a bike rack on my 2017 Tesla Model X. The car is equipped with a 7-blade connector with standard wiring. I tried the combo of a Curt #57240 7 to 4 adapter with Curt #53201 aux indicator lights, but that didnt work. Im guessing that the aux lights didnt present the type of load the car was expecting to see. 1 Are you aware of any particular aux light requirements on the Tesla that might require a particular adapter? Can you help me find a combo that will work?

Expert Reply:

We have 7-way to 4-way adapters that mimic the load of incandescent trailer wiring with the # C35FR that you could use with the Curt Auxiliary LED adapter part # C53201. This would prevent the error you are seeing that is preventing the lights from working.
