  • Why is a Battery Connection Required for Trailer Wiring Installation on a 2012 ford Taurus
  • The trailer wiring harness # C56093 and any wiring harness that requires a direct connection to the battery uses battery power to power the trailer lights. If not connected, it will not work and the trailer lights will not come on. Also, this offers another level of protection between the trailer wiring and the vehicle wiring. The idea is that you are isolating the vehicle from the trailer as mush as possible to limit the chances of a short on the trailer damaging the vehicle wiring.

  • Wiring Hopkins Tail Light Converter Kit with 4-Way Flat Connector to 2002 Ford Taurus
  • The brown wire on the Hopkins Taillight Converter Kit with 4-Way Flat Connector # HM48895 is for taillights and because you know the red wire with the green stripe on your 2002 Ford Taurus is the brake light, and the light black (or grey) is the ground, the other wire between them is likely brown, is that correct? It is likely that this brown wire is also the taillight wire which you can splice into. Before doing that, I strongly urge you to use a circuit tester such as # PTW2993 to verify.

  • Is Suspension Enhancement Required with Trailer Hitch for 2013 Ford Taurus
  • Not necessarily, installing a trailer hitch on your 2013 Ford Taurus like the Draw Tite part # 36492 would be fine without suspension enhancement, but adding it wouldn't be a bad idea if you plan to tow near the vehicle's capacity. For the suspension you'd then want the Air Lift kit part # AL60821 which would give you more suspension support to help level the vehicle.

  • Recommended Hitch to Pull 2003 Taurus Pulling 20-Foot Trailer
  • According to my research the maximum trailer towing capacity for a 2003 Ford Taurus is 1,750 lbs. I recommend checking the owner's manual to make sure you do not exceed the towing capacity for your Taurus. You will also want to check the total weight of your trailer. It should be weighed fully loaded. The trailer hitches we offer for your Taurus are either Class l or Class ll hitches with a 1-1/4 inch receiver opening. I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C12232. This is a Class...

  • What are the Different Voyager Brake Controller Model Numbers
  • Just by the date I cannot determine which controller it is because there were different models at that time. If it is a Voyager then it could be either a 9030 or a 9035.

The newest version is # 39510 which can also be used on trailer with up to 4 axles/8 brake assemblies.

  • Will Exhaust Hang lower When Installing Trailer Hitch On 2014 Ford Taurus
  • When installing the Curt Hitch, part # C13379, the exhaust hangers will be attached to the tabs on the hitch plate instead of reinstalling in the original location. This may cause a slight change in the exhaust and exhaust tips when the hitch is installed. We haven't received any negative response from customers about the height of the exhaust as you mentioned. I called my contact at Curt and they said the exhaust could potentially hang about an inch lower due to the hitch installation. I...
