You will have one white wire for the ground, one yellow wire for the left turn and brake signals, one green wire for the right turn and brake signals and two brown wires for the tail lights.

  • Is Trailer Wiring Harness Included with a Trailer Hitch
  • We do carry trailer wiring harnesses but the Curt hitch, part # C11041, does not include any wiring. Hitches generally come without any wiring because not everyone is going to use the hitch to tow. The hitch fits specific trims of the Ford Mustang V6 Models between 1994 and 2004. There are specific wiring harnesses that fit the specific style of vehicle so if you can give me the details of your Mustang I can recommend the correct wiring harness to fit.

For wiring you can use the Wiring Kit # C59496 which splices into your factory wiring and then draws power directly from your 12V power source which means your trailer lighting circuits won't get overloaded.

  • What Trailer Wiring is Included With 391HYUNPALIS19T Stealth Hitch for a 2020 Hyundai Palisade
  • The wiring included with the # 391HYUNPALIS19T Stealth Hitch for the 2019-2020 Hyundai Palisade includes the 7-way trailer connector, but not a trailer brake controller.

  • Does Trailer Wiring Harness Come with the Curt Trailer Hitch for a 2013 Chevy Sonic RS
  • The trailer wiring harness is not included with Curt trailer hitch # C11398 for your 2013 Chevy Sonic RS.

To add a trailer wiring harness you can use # 118640. This will add a 4-Way flat connector to the rear of the vehicle. I have linked a video showing an example installation for you.
