Towing your vehicle behind your RV is a great way to experience more of the adventure on your cross-country excursions. Whether you're towing a compact car or a full-size truck, CURT has the perfect solution to help you Bring It! CURT towed-vehicle RV harnesses are a vehicle-specific, plug-and-play solution to wiring your vehicle for dinghy towing. They use original-equipment-compatible connectors to plug into your vehicle's wiring system without any cutting, splicing or soldering required. They provide a standard 4-way flat connector to plug into the RV socket and synchronize the vehicle's tail lights, turn signals and brake lights with the RV's. Because each towed-vehicle RV harness has a vehicle-specific design, installation is fast and easy. This particular RV dinghy towing wiring harness is designed for specific years of the Ford Edge, Ford Escape, Ford Freestar, Lincoln MKX, Mazda Tribute and Mercury Mariner. CURT RV harnesses are also built to provide long-lasting operation. They feature integrated block diodes that protect the vehicle's circuits from the RV signals. They isolate the sensitive vehicle electronics, keeping them from overheating and short circuiting. Every CURT towed-vehicle RV harness comes ready to install with all necessary hardware included. They also come with a 4-way flat extension to provide plenty of length to plug into the RV socket, as well as a connector mounting bracket to mount the connector on the vehicle.

The CURT 58952 has the following electrical ratings: Signal circuits are rated at 7.5 amps per side, and tail/running circuits are rated at 7.5 amps total. Do not exceed the product rating or your tow vehicle's lamp load rating, whichever is lower.
You will need: a ratchet, an 8mm socket, fishwire, and a trim panel removal tool. These are the minimum tools required for proper installation. Having the correct tools will improve installation quality and reduce installation time.
The manual states that if the battery was disconnected at the beginning of installation, you should reconnect the negative battery terminal at the end. This suggests battery disconnection may be necessary, but the manual does not explicitly state whether it is required or optional. Consult the vehicle owner's manual or the manufacturer for clarification on this step.
Follow these steps in order: (1) Open trunk and remove floor coverings, foam inserts, and threshold plate. (2) Remove taillights using an 8mm socket and separate connectors. (3) Route the yellow-wire RV harness end through the grommet and insert into vehicle connectors. (4) Remove the ground ring bolt and secure the white ground wire. (5) Route the green-wire harness down the side wall and repeat connector insertion on the passenger side. (6) Route the 4-flat harness through the grommet to the vehicle floor. (7) Route the 4-flat under the vehicle along the exhaust and brake lines. (8) Follow brake lines to the driver's side engine compartment. (9) Mount the 4-flat bracket to the front frame rail. (10) Secure excess wire and reinstall removed items.
Follow these steps in order: (1) Open the rear tailgate and remove taillights using a Phillips screwdriver. (2) Position the yellow-wire RV harness connectors between separated vehicle connectors and press firmly until they lock. (3) Locate a grounding point and secure the white ground wire using the ring terminal and provided screw. (4) Route the green-wire harness down through the taillight opening along the plastic guard to the passenger side. (5) Fish the harness to the passenger taillight and repeat connector plugging. (6) Route the 4-flat harness down underneath the vehicle. (7) Route the 4-flat along the brake lines toward the front. (8) Follow the brake lines along the frame rail to access the area behind the front bumper. (9) Mount the 4-flat bracket to the front frame rail. (10) Secure excess wire and reinstall removed items.
Yes, drilling is required. You must drill two 3/32" pilot holes in the front frame rail to mount the 4-flat bracket. Additionally, you may need to drill a 3/32" pilot hole for the ground wire screw if a suitable existing screw with nut is not available in the vehicle frame. Take care not to drill through the vehicle body or any exposed surface.
Yes, grommet modification is required. You must remove the grommets behind the taillights and cut slits large enough to route the RV harness ends through. After routing the harness, reseat the grommet and use grommet sealant to seal the cut in the grommet and around all wires. This prevents water intrusion and protects the wires.
Yes, you must cut the cable ties on the 4-flat portion of the harness to allow proper routing. This is done before routing the 4-flat harness through the grommet and along the vehicle frame.
For Ford Edge/Lincoln MKX: Insert the RV harness wiring end with yellow wires between the separated vehicle connectors and make sure the connectors are fully inserted with locking tabs in place. For Ford Escape/Mercury Mariner: Position the RV harness connectors containing yellow wires between separated vehicle harness connectors, then press connectors firmly into vehicle connectors until they lock into place. Pull on the connectors to ensure locks are engaged. Inspect vehicle connectors for dirt and debris and clean if necessary before connecting.
For Ford Edge/Lincoln MKX: Remove the bolt holding the ground ring using an 8mm socket, ensure the area is free of rust, dirt and paint, then secure the white ground wire using the ring terminal and provided screw. For Ford Escape/Mercury Mariner: Locate a suitable grounding point near the connector such as an existing screw with nut in the vehicle frame, or drill a 3/32" pilot hole for the provided screw. Ensure the area is free of rust, dirt and paint before securing the white ground wire using the ring terminal and provided screw.
Route the 4-flat over the exhaust heat shield and around plastic guards to the brake lines near the front of the vehicle, securing with cable ties along the way. An alternate routing method allows you to remove the plastic guards and route above them, then replace the guards. Follow the brake lines up into the engine compartment (driver's side for Edge/MKX, or along the frame rail for Escape/Mariner) until you reach the area behind the front bumper or headlight.
Locate the front frame rail that goes across the front of the vehicle and find a suitable position to mount the 4-flat bracket. Using the bracket as a template, mark the two holes and drill two 3/32" holes. Attach the bracket using the two remaining screws and secure the 4-flat to the frame rail with a cable tie. Take care not to drill through the vehicle body or any exposed surface.
Secure any excess wire so that it is not drooping or dangling, but not so tight that it causes unnecessary strain to the wire, which could lead to breakage over time. After removing slack from the 4-flat wire, tighten any zip ties and add as needed. Use a zip tie to fasten any excess wire to a solid spot along the driver-side inner fender. Install the provided 4-flat dust cover to help prevent corrosion.
Check for miscellaneous items that may be hidden behind or under any surface before drilling to avoid damage and personal injury. When routing the 4-flat harness to the front of the vehicle, avoid areas that contain moving parts or could cut, pinch or burn the wires. Failure to follow these warnings may cause property damage, personal injury or loss of life. Do not drill through the vehicle body or any exposed surface. Secure wires to avoid strain and breakage.
Periodic inspection of all wires and connections should be performed to ensure there is no visible damage or loose connections. This helps maintain proper function and prevents electrical issues over time.
The CURT 58952 provides the following wiring locations for SUVs and vans: S1 (behind driver side taillight housing), S2 (behind passenger side taillight housing), S3 (behind driver side rear access panel), S4 (behind passenger side rear access panel), S5 (behind driver side rear bumper), S6 (behind center of rear bumper), S7 (behind passenger side rear bumper), S8 (under rear floor panel), S9 (behind driver side rear access panel), and S10 (behind passenger side rear access panel).
