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 Fiesta. 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 58972 Custom Towed-Vehicle RV Wiring Harness for Dinghy Towing, Fits Select Ford Fiesta (Part #BKDK58972) Refer to the included instructions for installation details. Basic hand tools are typically all you need.
The CURT 58972 is a custom wiring harness for passenger cars that enables your vehicle to function as a tow vehicle with trailer lights. It can also act as an add-on to an existing RV wiring harness, allowing the RV harness to function as a trailer light harness as well.
The CURT 58972 is designed for passenger cars (P). The manual shows representative wiring locations (P1–P7) for passenger vehicles, with the primary wiring connections at locations P3 and P4 (behind driver and passenger side taillight housings inside the trunk).
Required tools are: ratchet, small flathead screwdriver, Torx bit T-30, cutting tool, socket extension, rotary cutting tool, and Phillips screwdriver. You will also need zip ties (not listed but referenced throughout) and an abrasive pad or paper to clean rust and paint from the grounding point.
Yes. Step 1 requires you to locate the vehicle battery (check your owner's manual for location), disconnect the negative battery terminal, and fasten this wire down and away from the battery. The negative terminal must be reconnected only after all other installation steps are complete.
Open the trunk and remove the floor covering to expose the spare tire, then remove the hatch cover. This provides access to the taillight wiring connectors and the trunk pan area where the 4-flat connector will pass through.
On the driver side, remove the Phillips head screw and pull back the felt liner to locate the taillight wiring connectors. Separate the connectors from the taillight housing carefully without damaging the locking tabs. Insert the custom wiring end with the yellow wire between the separated connectors, ensuring they are fully inserted with locking tabs in place. Repeat on the passenger side with the green wire connector.
Route the connector with the green wire along the back of the vehicle from the driver side to the passenger side, securing it with zip ties as needed. Later, route the 4-flat connector from the driver-side rear seat area along the firewall to the passenger side, then between the inner fender, headlight, and coolant tank to the front of the vehicle. Secure all loose wires with cable ties, keeping wiring away from hot spots, pinch points, and moving objects.
Drilling may be required for the ground connection. You must locate a grounding point near the box (such as an existing screw or bolt in the vehicle frame) or drill a 3/32" pilot hole if no existing fastener is available. Before drilling, check for hidden items behind or under any surface to avoid damage and personal injury. The area must be cleaned of rust, dirt, and paint using an abrasive pad or paper.
Yes. Using a rotary tool, cut a relief in the trunk pan hole just large enough to pass the 4-flat connector through the grommet hole. Remove the grommet from the vehicle body. Using a wire cutter, make a cut into the grommet large enough to allow the wiring to sit in the mounting groove, being careful not to cut any wires. Reseat the grommet and seal the cut with the provided sealant to keep the trunk dry and exhaust out of the vehicle.
The 3/32" pilot hole is drilled as an optional grounding point if no existing screw or bolt is available in the vehicle frame near the installation box. The white ground wire with ring terminal is secured to this hole using the provided ground screw.
Locate a grounding point near the box, such as an existing screw or bolt in the vehicle frame. Clean the area of rust, dirt, and paint using an abrasive pad or paper. Secure the white ground wire with the ring terminal either to the existing fastener or to a new 3/32" pilot hole using the provided ground screw.
The manual specifies that provided sealant must be applied to seal the cut in the grommet and around all wires after reseating. Additional sealant should be applied as needed to ensure a tight seal, which keeps the trunk dry and prevents exhaust from entering the vehicle. The specific sealant type and quantity are not detailed in the manual.
Secure excess wire so it is not drooping or dangling, but not so tight that it causes unnecessary strain, 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.
Do not exceed the product rating or tow vehicle lamp load rating, whichever is lower. Additionally, keep wiring away from hot spots, pinch points, and moving objects. Before drilling, check for hidden items behind or under any surface to avoid damage and personal injury.
Once the custom wiring harness is installed, verify that it is functioning by attaching the 4-flat to any vehicle with functioning trailer lights. The taillights on the tow vehicle should function along with the taillights on the towing vehicle. You can also use a test light to verify proper function.
Periodic inspection of all wires and connections should be performed to ensure there is no visible damage or loose connections. Install the provided 4-flat dust cover to help prevent corrosion.
Remove the floor covering and hatch cover from the trunk, remove fastener covers in the skid plate using a T-30 Torx bit, remove the scuff panel, and remove the Phillips head screw at each taillight. After completing all wiring steps, reinstall all items removed during installation in reverse order, then reconnect the negative battery terminal.
The 4-flat connector is routed from the driver-side rear seat area (after removing the grommet just behind the driver-side rear seat) through a relief cut in the trunk pan. It then travels along the firewall to the passenger side, between the inner fender, headlight, and coolant tank to the front of the vehicle. Secure it with zip ties throughout the route.
The CURT 58972 is designed for passenger cars (P). Confirm your vehicle type matches before purchasing. Consult the manual's wiring location guide or contact CURT for specific model compatibility.
Yes, disconnect the negative battery terminal before beginning installation and reconnect it only after all steps are complete.
Periodically inspect all wires and connections for visible damage or loose connections. Install the provided 4-flat dust cover to prevent corrosion.
