How to Wire a 1999 Suzuki Vitara Behind Motorhome For Towing With 4-Pole Connector Without Splicing
Question:
I have a problem. Do not want to cut wires in my 1999 Vitara and have a T-bracket for the vehicle for towing. Can I hook this to my motor home wiring existing or do I need some other hook-up? Again, have the T to tap into the rear wiring without cutting and what to be able to have lights on the Vitara behind my motor home. HELP!!

You have a couple of options for towing your 1999 Suzuki Vitara behind a motorhome without splicing into the vehicles wiring.
The first, and easiest, option if you are not going to be towing often would be to use a Magnetic Towing Light Kit, item # RM-2120, with your vehicles 4-way flat connector.
The second option would be to use the RoadMaster Tail Light Wiring Kit with Bulbs, item # RM-155. With this kit you will run wiring from the motorhome trailer connector to the vehicles taillight housing and install a new bulb and socket in the taillight which will supply the stop turn and taillights when connected to the motorhome and will not affect the Vitara wiring. With this kit you will have to have room in the red area of the taillight housing to install the new bulb and socket.
Items you may also need to tow your 1999 Vitara.
