Hello Fred, thanks for reaching out. While the preferred option here would be to have your vehicle serviced and have the green wire repaired, the Curt # C59236 can be used to bypass the factory wiring. So long as the wiring harness is spliced in ahead of wherever the break in the green wire is this will be a solution for you.
