  • Trailer Light Turns On After 20 Minutes of Turning Off Tow Vehicle, a 2000 Lincoln LS
  • I spoke with my contact at Curt about the Wiring Harness, # C55373, on your 2000 Lincoln LS. The good news is that there is nothing wrong with the wiring harness. What is happening is that on your model vehicle (and a handful of others) there is what is called a battery saver mode that kicks in about 20 minutes after the vehicle has been turned off. With the trailer connected, it thinks that it still needs to deliver power and that will cause the light to light up on the trailer. My...

  • Recommended Replacement Headlamps for 2002 Lincoln LS
  • For your headlamps on your 2002 Lincoln LS, I recommend the Vision X 9006 Halogen Headlight Bulbs - Superwhite - Qty 2 # VX-L9006 which are a confirmed fit. These will give you a factory like brightness but with a cooler color tone designed to keep the driver more alert. These are rated at 900 lumens. If you want brighter bulbs, then I recommend the CIPA EVO Formance Alfas Maximum Intensity 9006 Halogen Headlight Bulbs - Qty 2 # CM93448 which are for off-road use only as they don't...

  • Estimated Time to Install Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness Part # C55373 on 2000 Lincoln LS
  • I have looked over the installation details for the Curt T-Connector wiring harness, part # C55373. Due to the fact that the battery is located in the trunk, I would estimate that a reasonably handy individual could easily complete the install in less than an hour. Other than one connection to the battery, this is pretty much a plug-and-play type installation. To view the install details, click on the provided link.

  • Will Changing From Idler Hub to Hub/Drum Change Wheel Offset
  • I ran out to the warehouse and pulled one of the # AKHD-545-35-EZ-K hub/drums, which I compared with a typical idler hub with 5 on 4-1/2 inch bolt pattern for a 3500 lb axle. I found that with both hubs, the distance from the rear seal surface to the front face of the hub where the wheel would ride is 2-1/2 inches. Since I do not know which hub you are currently using, I checked a few other idler hubs, and found that the 2-1/2 inch distance or thickness was the same. Long story short,...

  • Recommended Hitch and Carrier for my 2005 Lincoln LS to Transport a Wheelchair
  • The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C12253 is a confirmed fit for your 2005 Lincoln LS. It has a tongue weight rating of 350 lbs. so as long as your carrier and wheelchair do not exceed the 350 lbs. or the maximum tongue weight rating of your 2005 Lincoln LS you will be in great shape. To check your vehicles rating look to your owners manual under the towing section. Please keep in mind this hitch option has a 1-1/4" receiver tube opening. There are no hitches available with a 2" receiver...

  • No Light Signals at 4-Pole Connector After Installing Curt Harness C59496 in 2001 Lincoln LS
  • If you have no light signals at all at your 4-pole connector (no turn, tail or brake lights) then either the powered converter in this harness may have been damaged in the first installation effort, there is a faulty 12V input power connection to the converter, a bad ground connection or there is a problem within the wiring in the vehicle or trailer. The installation instructions are included in this email in case you no longer have the original printed copy. I have also linked an article...

  • Could 300 lb Scooter and Carrier Be Carried on a Hitch on a 2000 Lincoln LS
  • If the combined weight of the carrier and the scooter is under 300 lbs you could carry the setup on your 2000 Lincoln LS if you had a hitch like the Curt # C12253 installed which has a tongue weight capacity of 350 lbs. This assumes that your vehicle also has the same capacities as the hitch, which isn't always the case. You would need to check the capacities in the owner's manual as well and be sure not to exceed these figures as well. The lower rating between the hitch and the vehicle...

  • Trailer Hitch for 2005 Lincoln LS for Carrying Small Trailer for Heavy Scooter
  • I am not sure what 2005 Lincoln you have, but if it's a 2005 Lincoln LS like what the Curt hitch part # C12253 you referenced is designed to fit the answer would be "no it could not carry a 500 lb scooter on a hitch mounted carrier." The only solution with this vehicle would be with a small trailer towed with this hitch installed. For trailer wiring you'd then need the part # C55373 which I recommend as it installs easily and is very reliable, and then for a ball mount # 36071 with hitch...

  • Troubleshooting Trailer Wiring Malfunction in 2000 Lincoln LS
  • The wiring harness we offer for your 2000 Lincoln LS is part # C55373 from Curt, it has a 12V power wire that needs to be run up to the car's battery to deliver the actual power for the trailer lights. The Curt harness you referenced, part # C56160, works the same way, although it is NOT a confirmed fit for your 2000 Lincoln LS (it fits the MKX only). Hopefully this is not the harness that was installed. Based on the (very) odd behavior of your trailer's driver-side brake light, it sounds...

  • Parts Needed to Add a Pilot Trailer Brake Controller to a 2001 Lincoln LS
  • First, you are going to want to check the owner's manual for the 2001 Lincoln LS to determine the towing capacity of the vehicle and not exceed it. After that, you will start with adding a 4-Way trailer wiring harness. It sounds like that is what you already have. The one we carry for your car is # C55373. It is a powered converter that requires a direct connection to the vehicle battery to supply most of the power to the trailer lights. With the 4-Way installed, you would then need to...
