- The etrailer Class III 2 Inch Hitch, part # e45KR, is a confirmed fit for your 2010 Volvo XC90.
The Hopkins Endurance Multi-Tow 7-, 5- and 4-Way Flat Trailer Connector, part # HM48470, has a mounting bracket that can be bolted to your hitch.
You can install this connector on the 2010 Volvo XC90, but it will need to be hardwired in according to the wiring diagram in the installation details linked below, and it is best suited for vehicles that already have 7-Way wiring ran, as it is just...

- The whole purpose of the black module box and running the power from the battery on your 2016 Volvo S60 for the Curt T-Connector # C56224 is to bypass the wiring on your vehicle so that your trailer won't overload your factory wiring and that if anything happens to your trailer wiring your vehicle wiring is protected. If you were to connect the black power wire to a 12V outlet on your S60 then there is a possibility that your vehicle wiring won't be protected.

- After installing the Stealth Hitches Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver w/ Towing Kit - Custom Fit - 2" # SH77FRT on your 2019 Volvo XC40 you will need to have your local Volvo dealer flash the computer to activate the towing features. Unfortunately that is not something anyone other than Volvo is able to do.
I included a link to the written instructions of the # SH77FRT for you to take a look at.

- Our installers removed the rear cargo liner and routed the wire from one side of the vehicle to the other through the trunk and spare tire area.
The panel you have open in your photo should allow access to the back side of your taillights. There may be a small piece of foam you need to remove and replace when finished. Then you should be able to route the wires down the rear cargo area and to the other side. It would be handy to remove the spare tire and allow access to the grommet needed...

- I did some research about the installation of the Yakima FullBack 2 Bike Rack - Trunk Mount - Adjustable Arms, part # Y02634, on your 2019 Volvo XC60. This trunk rack will be installed on hub setting 3 for your vehicle. In addition, the top and bottom hooks will have to be installed in anchor mode. I have included the video link of this rack being installed on a 2020 Audi Q7. Pay close attention at the 4:21 mark. It shows how the hooks secure inside your hatch in the anchor mode. On your...
view full answer... - Ground Location for Universal Installation Kit # ETBC7 on 2000 Volvo S70
- I wouldn't recommend grounding your 7-way to the gas tank strap. Due to safety issues, I would stay as far away from the gas tank as possible. Instead I would ground the wire to the frame of your 2000 Volvo S70 making sure that the spot that you choose is free of dirt and corrosion. Changing the ground location could solve the problem.
Once you have changed the ground location, if the lights still aren't working, feel free to send me an email and we can continue the troubleshooting process.
view full answer... - Finding Someone to Install Trailer Hitch on 2019 Volvo XC60
- Since we aren't familiar with your area the best solution I can give you for finding someone to install the EcoHitch # EH95VR and wiring kit part # C59236 on your 2019 Volvo XC60 is to check with mechanics and garages near you that have solid reputations. Hitch installs are very basic for mechanics based on what they normally work on, so the install does not take a specialist by any means at all.

- Installing a trailer hitch on your 2004 Volvo XC90 is not a huge project by any means. To install a hitch like the Draw Tite hitch that fits your vehicle part # 75152 is relatively very easy. I attached an install video that shows this hitch installed on a 2004 XC90 just like yours for you to check out as well. This will walk you through the whole process. You might watch it now to help give you an idea what the project would look like. Basically it's just removing a tow hook and then raising...
view full answer... - Trailer Hitch Installation Instructions and Difficulty on a 2010 Volvo XC70 Wagon
- The way that we rate installation is by how long it takes from start to finish to install the trailer hitch. For Draw-Tite trailer hitch # 75916 we estimated that it will take at least 100 minutes to install it on a 2010 Volvo XC70. This gives it an 10 out of 10 difficulty rating and is on the liberal side meaning that it will probably take longer unless you are an experienced hitch installer.
There is no drilling required but there is fascia trimming required and the rear fascia also...

- It sounds like you're wanting to install a 7-way blade trailer connector in addition to your 7-way round pin.
The easiest way to do this would be to use a 7-way adapter like # 37185 and a taillight converter like # 119178KIT. You'll tap the converter into the wiring harness feeding your 7-round pin connector. The yellow converter wire connects to the left turn circuit on the 7-round pin, the green converter wire taps into the right run circuit, the red wire into the brake lamp and the...
view full answer... - Are 2 Sets of Glass Hatch Hook Adapters Needed to Install Yakima KingJoe 3 on a 2004 Volvo XC70
- Some vehicles require a second set of Glass Hatch Hook adapters to mount the Yakima KingJoe Pro 3 # Y02625 but you will NOT need a second set for your 2004 Volvo XC70. However, since it does require the use of the adapters in place of the top straps (one set is included with the rack) then it limits the bike rack to 2 bikes.
For a bike rack that does not have the adapter requirement and that will hold 3 bikes I recommend the Thule Passage # TH911XT. I have included a link to a video review...
view full answer... - Does the Yakima Ridgeback2 Come Fully Assembled
- The Yakima Ridgeback2 # Y02457 is designed to fit on both 1-1/4" and 2" hitches, so it is a fit for the 2" receiver on your 2011 Volvo XC60. You'll also be happy to know that the Ridgeback comes fully assembled out of the box, so it's the perfect solution for you.
Since this rack does not come with a lock for the bikes at all you may want to add a cable lock like the Master Lock Python Cable Lock - Vinyl Coated Steel - Adjustable Length - Up to 6' Long # 8419DPF
view full answer... - Fastener Caps for License Plate Bracket
- The Fastener Caps for License Plates and License Plate Frames - Clear Crystals - Qty 4 # CR82431 are compatible with metric or standard mounting screws. They have an exterior ring that the screw goes through and then the cap will fit the base ring. This will work well for the bracket but it will replace the acorn caps so it will not work with those but will replace them.
view full answer... - Trailer Hitch Installation that Will Not Require Bumper Fascia Trimming on a 2014 Volvo XC90
- Good news! According to the directions of the Draw-Tite Class III 2 inch trailer hitch # 75152, you will not be required to trim or modify any part of your 2014 Volvo XC90's bumper.
To clarify for you, many aftermarket receivers do require some trimming of the fascia or vehicle's bumper if need be, but it typically is few and far between on SUV's. We often see a precut panel that can be removed for the hitch to show through. It all depends on the vehicle manufacture and the best support...
view full answer... - Installation of Universal Trailer Wiring Harness C59496 on a 2006 Volvo S60
- The # C59496 is not a vehicle specific item, so there aren't vehicle specific instructions available for it.
However, I'd be happy to walk you though the process. You'll want to locate the wiring harnesses that feed the taillight assemblies. Accessing the rear of the assemblies as if you're changing a burned out bulb is the easiest spot to get to the wiring. Have a helper activate the left turn signal, and probe the wires using the circuit tester included with the kit until you find the...
view full answer... - Why Does Curt Hitch for 2013 Volvo XC60 List a Harder Install than Draw Tite
- The difficulty ratings for the install of the hitches for the 2013 Volvo XC60 are decided by the manufacturers. The Draw Tite hitch part # 75671 and the Curt part # 13268 are both so similar that neither would install easier than the other.
Curt just estimated that their hitch would take around 20 minutes longer than Draw Tite did. The install rating is nothing more than just the length of time it would take. I attached an install video for the Draw Tite for you to check out as well.

- I will be happy to explain the installation of Curt trailer hitch # 13266 for your 2008 Volvo XC70. I have also linked the instructions and a video showing an example installation for you.
Step 1
Remove rear bumper fascia. Disconnect back-up sensor wiring if present. Remove (2) fasteners with a T20 Torx bit from the rear of the vehicle. Note: Some models may require removal of (4) fasteners.
Then open the rear hatch and remove two rubber hatch stops.
Next remove the 4 or 5 screws (each...
view full answer... - How to Install Hooks for Yakima FullBack on a 2012 Volvo XC60
- The top hooks for the Yakima FullBack # Y02634 or # Y02633 will actually install pretty similarly to the bottom hooks on your 2012 Volvo XC60. You need to bring the strap through the hole in the hook and then tighten it and place the hook inside of the rear hatch before closing it. I have attached 2 pictures from the linked instructions that you can reference for the installation. There aren't very many words but they actually do a pretty good job at demonstrating how to install the straps...
view full answer... - Can you Open and Close Hatchback Readily with Yakima FullBack Bike Rack Installed?
- When you have a trunk mounted bike rack like the Yakima FullBack 3 Bike Rack - Trunk Mount # Y02633 it isn't recommended to open the hatch with the bike rack installed. There is always a possibility of issues with the fasteners causing damage if the rack isn't removed prior to opening the hatch.
I really recommend using a trailer hitch and hitch mounted rack if you need to access your hatch regularly. I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # C53HR and...
view full answer... - How to Determine Reverse Light Wire to Install 5-Way
- The only way to determine which wire is the reverse wire on your XC90 is to have someone put the vehicle in reverse and for you to test the wires with the Cordless Circuit Tester # PTW2979. We simply wouldn't have any way of knowing specific wire functions on any given vehicle.
I have added a link below to a video install you may want to check out to give you an idea of how to install the Tow Ready 4 Pole to 5 Pole Trailer Wiring Adapter # 20036.
