  • How to Determine Wiring Type of 2019 VW Golf SportWagen to Install Curt Harness C59236
  • Thanks for the purchase, and I have added a cut out from the instructions which detail how to determine the wiring type of your 2019 VW Golf SportWagen to install the Curt Powered Tail Light Converter with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # C59236. While you can use a circuit tester like # PTW2992, the easiest thing to do is check the wiring description to see what your VW falls under. You'll need a helper to engage the lights, but that's the easiest way - just check your lights functions...

  • Trailer Wiring Harness Recommendation for 2019 Volkswagen Golf SportWagen
  • The best trailer wiring kit we have for your 2019 Volkswagen Golf SportWagen is the ZCI Kit part # 119250KIT because it installs without requiring any splicing to the vehicle wiring and comes with a very reliable converter box. This will work great with the EcoHitch # 306-X7315 that you have installed as well! If you wanted to do some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # 989900.

  • Will Roof Rack Included With Used Weekender Cargo Box On 2016 Volkswagen Golf SportWagen
  • The crossbars and attachments you received for your Weekender may fit your Golf but it depends on the crossbar style and length, and whether the feet that attach to the Golf roof rails are compatible. We offer the Thule WingBar roof rack that has 47-inch crossbars. For this roof rack you would need part # TH711200 for silver or # TH711220 for black, and part # TH710401. The Thule roof rack we offer that has SquareBar crossbars uses 47-inch long crossbars and you would need part # TH712200,...

  • Wiring Recommendation for 2015 Volkswagen Golf SportWagen Lights Being Towed on Trailer
  • You can use the Tail Light Isolating Diode System with Wiring Harness # 38955 on your 2015 Volkswagen Golf SportWagen to activate the lights but I recommend using something with better wiring connections like the Curt Universal Tail Light Wiring Kit # C63CR instead. The Curt system uses heat shrink butt connectors to help protect the wiring better and it operates essentially the same way as the Hopkins kit you were looking at. We sure you have both this wiring and your trailer wiring...

  • Troubleshooting Trailer Brake Lights Not Functioning on Tekonsha Harness for 2018 Volkswagen Golf
  • First thing you should do at this point is test the 4-way of the wiring harness with a circuit tester part # PTW2993 for voltage on all of the right pins when the taillight signals are being applied. Just like in the video I attached. If the voltage checks out there but the trailer lights still don't function right then the problem is on the trailer wiring. That would mean that problem is either due to a ground issue or a short issue. Make sure that the trailer side connector are clean...

  • Trailer Hitch Fit Recommendation for 2017 Volkswagen Golf ALLTRACK
  • I just got off the phone with my contact at Curt and he verified that the Curt hitch part # C11422 is a confirmed fit for the 2017 Volkswagen Golf Alltrack like what you have so we can guarantee this hitch will fit your vehicle. The other option is the Draw Tite hitch part # 24949. If you plan to carry a bike rack or cargo carrier this would be the option I would go with as it does not require a stabilizer strap like # 18050 when using the hitch for a non-supported load like a bike rack.

  • Recommended Trailer Wiring for Prodigy RF Brake Controller on 2015 VW Golf SportWagen
  • For your 2015 VW Golf SportWagen you will need the Curt Powered Tail Light Converter with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # C59236 and then add the # ETBC7. Because you will only be adding the 12V power to the 7-way connection, you can tape up the blue and purple wires. You will just use the 40 amp circuit breaker to run the gray duplex wire. The circuit breaker will go between the battery positive terminal and the trailer connector on the black wire. The white wire in that duplex wiring...

  • Trailer Wiring Harness Recommendation for 2015 Golf SportWagen TDI Sportwagen TDI
  • We have just the wiring harness for your 2015 Volkswagen Golf Sportwagen TDI. I would recommend the ZCI harness part # 119250KIT for you because it does not require any actual hardwiring. All you have to do is put the sensors on the wire and it will sense current in the wire. The principal of the install is similar to a hardwire kit as you have to test the wiring of the vehicle to find the correct circuits, but you do not need to cut into any of the wires.

  • Thule Aeroblade Edge Roof Rack Recommendation for a 2015 Volkswagen Golf Sportwagen
  • Yes, the Thule AeroBlade Edge Roof Rack # TH7501B-TH7502B that you referenced has been confirmed as a fit for your 2015 Volkswagen Golf Sportwagen that has raised side rails and would work well for you. Because of that I would recommend it for you. This wouldn't interfere with the moon roof your vehicle, but you should note that crossbars will create quite a bit of noise if the moon roof is open.

  • We offer several options in a light-duty Class I hitch for your VW Golf SportWagen that will let you pull your small utility trailer. All of them happen to have the same capacities and will install in the same way but one offers you a chance to install a USA-made hitch made from recycled materials, the EcoHitch # 306-X7315.
