Taillight Converter Needed for 2012 Mercedes Sprinter

Question:

I am wiring a Mecedes sprinter, model 515 to a US standard trailer with integral turn and stop lights. It appears that the Mercedes has a separate stop signal for stop lights and does not use the right and left turn signals, as my Ford f450 does. Will this module solve this problem?

You're going to need a taillight converter. A taillight converter will take three lighting circuits from your Sprinter, the right turn, left turn and brake lamp and combine those into two circuits that the trailer can use, right turn + brake lamp and left turn + brake lamp.

I'd recommend the # C59236. You'll also need a length of extra 16 gauge wire which is sold by the foot, part # 16-1-1. You'll need about 16 feet of wire, which is what our installer used in the video I've linked for you.
