Does the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver Come With a Wiring Harness for 2005 Mercedes-Benz S-Class

Question:

Does the trailer hitch C11823 for a 2005 S430 Mercedes come with the wire harness for it. Would I have to buy it separately. How much and does it come with directions?

The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver C11823 does not come with wiring for your 2005 Mercedes-Benz S-Class so you will need to buy it separately.

I recommend the ZCI Circuit Protected Vehicle Wiring Harness w/ 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector and Installation Kit # 119250KIT. This is a universal wiring kit that uses zero-contact interface sensors so no cutting or splicing is required. It has instructions, but they are not vehicle specific.

We do not have an installation video for a 2005 Mercedes S-Class, but I did attach an installation video on a newer E-Class to help show what the process is like. I also attached the instructions for your reference.
