Probably the easiest way to get to the wires to install the trailer wiring harness # C59496 is to pretend as if you were going to have to change out a tail light bulb (or LED panels or bulbs). There is a process to follow to access them.
If you do this, it will inevitably show you where the wiring is for the tail light functions. Then use the circuit tester to probe the wires to make the connections. On some vehicles, you actually have to remove the tail light assemblies on the vehicle... view full answer...

We have not had the opportunity to produce an installation video for this particular wiring kit on your specific vehicle, the 2006 Cadillac SRX. But I did link a video showing a typical install on a GM vehicle that will give you a good idea of what the installation involves..
Although the install on your vehicle and what's shown in the video will be a little different (wire colors, for instance), the overall process will be the same and each of the various steps outlined in this video will... view full answer...
The Curt 59190 you have should work as it is designed for vehicles with separate wiring like your 2013 Cadillac XTS, so I recommend double checking the way you have the harness wired.
You will need to use a circuit tester like # PTW2993 to identify the wiring functions of your vehicle.
You will need to identify the following functions on your factory wiring and make the following connections:
Red wire gets connected to the brake light wire
Green wire gets connected to the passenger... view full answer...
The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class V XD - 2" # C15324 will not require any trimming or cutting to install. The installation is not difficult for this hitch and the bumper already is shaped in the hitch location. The only thing you need to do is lower and remove the spare tire and then reinstall after installation. I've attached the installation details to assist. view full answer...
I do not think you will have a problem carrying your 66 lb ebikes on the Thule EasyFold XT Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Frame Mount, part # TH903202, provided you follow this piece of advice. Now this advice is not from me, but from ebike manufacturers speaking about the best way to transport their bikes on your vehicle. You should always remove your batteries from your bike when transporting them on a bike rack. If you follow that advice you will not have to... view full answer...
From the picture you provided, I can say that you are almost there. The Tekonsha Plug-In Wiring Adapter # 3016. I included a picture for you to check out, but it's actually the port directly above the white one with the blue housing on the left hand side. It looks like it will be a snug fit, but wont cause any issues. I included an install video for you to check out, but it is on a Silverado and it didn't have that blue and white plug, but should still help. view full answer...
Yes, once the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 76266 is installed on your 2022 Cadillac XT4 you'll be able to place that rear bumper fascia cover back over it for an OEM look.
I'm attaching an installation video and some photos for you to check out about this.
If you're planning on doing some towing with this hitch then I also recommend picking up the T-One Wiring # 118795, the Mount Bracket # 18144, and the Ball Mount Kit # C45154.

In the installation process of the Curt Class III # C13050 hitch, the spare tire is temporarily removed because the heat shield and exhaust brackets need to be modified as shown in the installation instructions and the install video I've linked for you. When the installation is complete, the spare tire is returned to its original position.
If you'll be using the hitch for towing purposes, you'll also need the following:
Trailer wiring harness, part # C59236
Ball mount, part # C45030

The Invisi-Brake # RM-8700 only applies the toads brakes when the RV brake lights are illuminated. So if you are engine braking then presumably you aren't using the brake pedal and if you aren't using the brake pedal then the RV brake lights would not light up.
Also if the brake lights were lit up the system automatically will reduce pressure after 15 seconds of continuous braking. view full answer...
There should be 4 diodes included with the # RM-154 wiring kit you received.
I have attached a couple drawings that show how the diodes should be installed for a towed vehicle with separate wiring(turn signal and brake signal use different wires). You would put a diode on both wires on your SRX.
If you have separate wiring on the motorhome as well as your towed vehicle then you will need 2 additional diodes like part # RM-792. If you check out the attached drawings you will see that... view full answer...
For your 2016 Cadillac Escalade you will be good to use a 4 diode kit like the Roadmaster 4-Diode Universal Wiring Kit for Towed Vehicles # RM-152-98146-7. The way that the wiring on your Escalade is set-up isn't necessarily as big of a deal because the battery on your Escalade will be disconnected and the lights will be receiving their power from the motorhome.
I have included the installation instructions so you can check our how the installation process takes place.

In order for the # C51180 Echo to function, you'll need to have all the lighting functions and the 12-volt power feed at the 7-way functional. You can use a circuit tester like part # PTW2993 to confirm this. First, check the pin in the 1:00 position on the 7-way. You should be picking up power on this circuit. If not, you'll need to make a wiring connection under the hood. Click the video link I've provided, and fast forward to the 7:50 mark.

When installing a weight distribution system on a vehicle with self leveling suspension such as your 2008 Cadillac Escalade you will want to hook the trailer up to the vehicle first and let the suspension level itself out before you do the initial setup. This way the WD system will be set up properly for how the vehicle will be when the vehicle is being used. view full answer...
US manufactured vehicles of that era typically used the same color scheme as the # C59496 harness. Yellow wire for left turn, green wire for right turn, brown wire for running lamps, white for a ground connection and red for brake lamps. Your Cadillac is most likely a 2 wire system which uses the same bulb for brake lamps and turn signals. If this is the case, you'll connect the wires as described above, but ground both the white AND the red wire.
In the eventuality that the wires don't... view full answer...
It is normal for the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 # 90195 to be on even when your 2008 Cadillac Escalade is turned off, and it goes into sleep mode after 15 minutes of not sensing movement to preserve your battery.
The reason for it always being on is that's how it saves your preset settings, if it was turned off/unplugged each time the vehicle was turned off you would need to setup the controller each time.
I included a video of the # 90195 for you to take a look at. view full answer...
On a 2019 Escalade, the plug you're looking for is in a junction box on the firewall to the left of the brake pedal. The junction box has a black cover, which will need to be removed and the # 3016 harness you'd looked at will plug into the socket shown in the provided photo. The top photo shows the location of the junction box, the bottom photo shows what the Junction box looks like with the cover removed and the exact location where the harness plugs in.

Great news, I have a diagram and found out that for your 2005 Cadillac SRX 3.6L 6 Cylinder you will want to mount the Kats Block Heater # KH11811 in the RR position, shown on the attached diagram. This cartridge-style heater simply clips into the cavity of your engine block.
