Recommended Trailer Wiring Harness for 1996 Ford Contour
Question:
Are the brake tail lights and turn signals connected on a 1996 Ford Contour?
asked by: Linda
Helpful Expert Reply:
Your 1996 Ford Contour does indeed have a combined wiring system, meaning the brake and turn signals are sent along the same wire.
If you are needing to install a 4-Way wiring harness for towing a small trailer, I recommend the Tekonsha 4-Pole Hardwire Kit # 18252. This universal hardwire kit is designed for combined vehicle wiring and includes a circuit tester to help with installation. I have attached the written installation instructions that you can take a look at.
