Hi, I installed everything right but there is no power on connector from car. Do I need to install fuse in some place to get power?

Expert Reply:

There are 2 different Curt trailer wiring harnesses for your 2002 Lexus LX 470. If the vehicle did not come with the factory tow package then you would need # C59236. If it does have the factory tow package you would use # C55245. If you are not sure, have a Lexus dealer run the VIN number to tell you how it is equipped.

Please note that even if a model has the connection point for harness # C55245 it may not be active if the vehicle does not have the factory tow package.

You can also check the vehicle owners manual for the fuse locations related to the tow package wiring to see if they are present or need to be replaced.
