Can I use 4-Way to 7-Way Adapter Part 37185 on my 2006 Volvo XC90
Question:
I have a 2006 Volvo XC90 with an existing 4 way adapter flat. I need to pull an existing trailer with a 7 way plug it has no brakes and I also want to be able to pull a rental trailer. Part #37185 seems to do the trick, but then there is a list of vehicles it fits mine isnt one. If Im only only attaching this adapter to the four way part of it, would this work?

Expert Reply:
If you were to use it just for trailer light functions it would work fine. You would plug in the the 4-Way you currently have, then attach the ground wire to the XC90 frame. The other 3 wires are for reverse lights, trailer brakes and a power source. If you do not need any of these functions, you can tape these leads up and out of the way.
Part # 37185 is not vehicle specific and can be wired to virtually any vehicle.
