Question:

Does the Curt connector system turn the vehicles reverse collision sensor system off when backing up? Currently with my hitch mounted bike rack and 2 bikes installed, driving in reverse causes the brakes to apply.

Yes, it does Alan so long as you have a light bar connected to it. The Curt T-Connector item # C84RJ itself won't stop the reverse collision sensor from going off when you're using a bike rack on your 2023 Volvo XC60. You need to have something receiving the signal from the 4-way connector to make that go away.

The Curt Auxiliary LED Indicator Lights item # C53201 will work with any bike rack. It is powered by your 4-way connector item # C84RJ and has 3M strips that attach the LEDs to your bike rack.

What specific bike rack do you have? There's some custom fit lighting setups that look really impressive for some bike racks.

You can add this information and any other questions you have where it says Reply to Jerred H and I'll be happy to answer them.
