Can the Tekonsha Wiring Harness # 118278 Fit a 2016 Mazda CX-9
Question:
Will this work for any 2016 CX-9 regardless of whether it has the factory tow package?
asked by: Bryan N
Expert Reply:
The Tekonsha Wiring Harness # 118278 is only confirmed to fit 2016 Mazda CX-9's with a factory tow package. If you do not know if you have a factory tow package, you can check behind your rear trim panels to see if you find the factory connectors. If you find factory connectors, you can use a circuit tester like part # PTW2993 to probe the connectors to see if they are active with taillight functions. If not, you will have to check with your dealer to see if the factory connectors can be activated or install a universal wiring harness like the # C59496.
This kit comes with everything you need to install a wiring harness on your 2016 Mazda CX-9 if you do not have a factory tow package.
