Can Tekonsha Trailer Wiring Work on 2020 Ford Escape that is Being Flat Towed for Bike Rack Lights

Question

Question:

I am looking to put TE54FR wiring on my 2020 Escape hybrid Titanium which is towed by my motorhome and I have a bike rack that I want to put lights on because the bike cover obstructs the Escape tail lights. Will this allow the power to pass through to the lights C53201 on the bike rack when being towed by the motorhome?

For your 2020 Ford Escape Hybrid Titanium the Tekonsha trailer wiring part # TE54FR is a confirmed fit and can be used with the Curt aux light kit part # C53201. Now depending on what your tow bar wiring setup is this could work but it would need to be a diode setup that is wired for separate turn signals that activates the stop lights and turn signals that are on separate bulbs. If it's a diode kit that uses the stoplights as turn signals too that would mean the aux lights would only work as blinkers.
