Where to Connect 12V Power for Trailer Wring on 2022 Volvo XC40 Recharge
Updated 07/22/2024 | Published 09/25/2022
Question:
The instructions for the wiring harness say to route a wire to the black/negative battery connection in the engine compartment, and also show a tire below the trunk floor. I suspect the wiring layout in the trunk will be similar even though the Recharge doesnt have a spare tire. But theres no obvious access to a 12v battery in the Recharge. Do you have details on how the towing wiring harness should connect in the pure-electric model?

It looks like there is a positive terminal connection near the fuse box under the hood of your 2022 Volvo XC40 Recharge that you would use for a jump start situation. Since that should have sufficient 12V power when your vehicle is turned on that's where I recommend running the 12V power wire to when installing the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118792.

hello, In regard to this issue, I believe there is a 12v socket in the rear. Could I tap into that somehow to avoid running wires to the front? thanks, PP
