Expert Answers about Volvo S60


  • Curt Trailer Wiring Harness Hot Lead Wire Installation On 2014 Volvo S60
  • To run the hot lead wire to your battery from the trunk, I recommend running the wire under the car versus inside the cabin of your vehicle and then back out. You will use existing grommets where available and then follow other wires through the channel up the firewall and to your battery. I recommend using zip ties to secure the wire as needed. I recommend using the fuse near the battery for easy access. I've attached an article to help.

  • Where the Bottom Straps of the Thule Passage Bike Rack Attach to on a 2012 Volvo S60
  • I checked with Thule and the lower clips of the Thule Passage 2 Bike Carrier # TH910XT will hook onto the bottom edge of the trunk lid of your vehicle. Check out the review video and installation instructions I attached for you to check out for this product. If you plan on carrying any womens or alternative framed bikes without a horizontal top tube you might also be interested in purchasing a Thule Bike Adapter Bar # TH982XT to provide a horizontal top tube for the rack to attach to...

  • 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.

  • Finding the Stop Light Switch Wire on a 2014 Volvo S60
  • Typically the location of the stop light switch is up and behind the brake pedal but you would need to use a circuit tester like part # PTW2979 to verify which one it is. The wire you are looking for will show power only when the brake pedal is pressed. If you check out the installation video (23:40 mark) that I attached you can see this testing being done on a 2012 Volvo XC90. If you don't already have a brake controller then I recommend the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 # 90195. This is a proportional...

  • Can the Curt T-Connector be Connected to 12V Outlet for Installation on a 2016 Volvo S60
  • 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. We always recommend installing...

  • Ball Mount With Most Rise for Curt Class II Trailer Hitch On 2007 Volvo S60
  • The Class II ball mount we offer with the tallest rise is the Curt # C45028. This ball mount has a rise of 5-3/8 inches. This gives you a height of 18-3/8 inches, still short of your 22-3/4 inch coupler height. Even if you used a hitch ball similar to the Curt # C40034 with a 2 inch rise, you would still be a couple of inches shy of your coupler height. Ideally, you want to tow level to avoid sway and traction issues, but this is as close as you may be able to get to towing your boat trailer...

  • 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...

  • Hitch Receiver for a 2016 Volvo S60 R-Design
  • The Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver item # 75916 does fit your 2016 Volvo S60 T6 AWD. It doesn't require any drilling but you will have to make a 2" x 2" cut for the receiver tube to extend below your Volvo's trim. Once the installation is complete you will not be able to see this cut unless you are looking up from underneath your car. I have linked an installation video along with the instructions. At the 8 minute mark is when you will see the necessary cuts being made. This...
