  • Recommended Trailer Light Converter for 1987 Volvo 245 Wagon
  • For your 1987 Volvo 245 Wagon, I recommend the 1987 Volvo 240 Series Curt Powered Tail Light Converter with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector, # C59236.

I know you were specifically looking for that 2 inch receiver, but the Class II with the 1-1/4 inch receiver is all that is available as a fit. If you want a trailer hitch receiver on this vehicle, you will want the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class II - 1-1/4" # C12207...

  • Is Power to Turn Signals Correct For Curt Wiring Harness C56175
  • Thank you for your purchase from etrailer of the Curt Circuit Protected Converter w/ SMT # C56175. If the tail lights on your Volvo act as both the turn signals and the brake lights, you would have a combined system, and yes, you have it correct. I suspect this is exactly what you have though I was unable to verify the type of system on a 1988 Volvo 240. If you do not have a combined system and the lights and turn signals are on different lights, then you have it miswired and would need...
