Something is off with the wiring connections. Most likely the turn signal circuits are connected to the running circuit of the trailer wiring. I would recommend going over the connections and verifying that you have the correct circuits connected. view full answer...
Great question Max!
Yes, the Curt TriFlex NEXT Trailer Brake Controller # C24VV is just an upgraded version of the Curt TriFlex C51140 with the upgrades being a refreshed computer system and the ability to be mounting in any orientation instead of being limited to a 90-degree vertical and 40-degree horizontal like what we see with the older model.
Because of this I highly recommend going with the NEXT version over the original version. view full answer...
The installation is going to be the same process for both the Curt trailer hitches that fit your 2023 Mazda CX-50, which are the following part numbers:
- 2" Hitch: Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C38BR
- 1-1/4" Hitch: Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C27DR
Both are very straightforward, requiring you to unscrew and remove the hitch panel, trim the underbody bumper fascia support, and then bolt the hitch on with the included bolts. That's all there is to it, and it will be exactly the same... view full answer...

The Curt Trailer Wiring Harness part # C45FV that you referenced does not have ability to activate the tow mode of the 2024 Mazda CX-50. The only option that does that is the OEM Mazda harness. view full answer...
Yes, the Curt hitches that fit your 2024 Mazda CX-50 do all install the same. The only difference is the hitch opening size. The part # C38BR is a 2 inch hitch and the # C27DR is a 1-1/4 inch hitch.
2 inch hitches are generally preferred as they have more capacity and are a more popular size accessories are made for than the smaller 1-1/4 inch size. The smaller size is a little harder to see so if you had a bike rack designed for it and wanted something a little more hidden that might... view full answer...
The two hitches are totally different designs for different vehicles. Only the Curt # C38BR is a fit for your 2023 Mazda CX-50 so it would be the hitch to go with. view full answer...

With the Curt hitch part # C38BR installed on your 2023 Mazda CX-50 you would need to use a trailer wiring bracket like the part # 18144 that attaches to the rear bumper/fascia. If you were to convert to a 7-way like with the # 37185 you'd attach the bracket directly to your rear bumper. view full answer...

The 4-Way Vehicle Wiring Harness # C45FV will not disable the backup safety features on your 2023 Mazda CX-50. You are able to switch off the rear sensors by turning off the i-ACTIVSENSE on your Mazda. This will allow you to still back up with a trailer and not setting off all the safety features. The T-One is not able to disable these features as it does not integrate into the ECU on your Mazda. It only sends power to the trailer tail lights when it sees power going to the vehicle tail lights. view full answer...
