Your local auto parts store should have an adapter kit with instructions. If not, just buy the adapter and connect it to the wire harness going to your tail lights. You will need a voltage tester to identify each wire with the ignition key on, find wire that has voltage when running lights are on, left/right turn signals and then the brake lights.

SOURCE: Need to know if a 1996 dodge neon with manual

Yes it can. So long as the front wheels are perfectly straight and secured in this position and I don't mean secured with the steering lock as that will most likely break when your car hits a pot hole. Also, by towing with all wheels, you're adding extra mileage onto your car because the speed sensor is built into the front wheels (this amount will be considered negligible).

SOURCE: how to wire a jeep wrangler for towing behind a

I tow my 2005 Jeep Wrangler behind my motor home. I installed a Jeep trailer towing wiring kit to the rear lights. the bought a long trailer wiring kit and ran it from the front of the Jeep to the Jeep tralier wire plug. Pluged it in and pluged the other end into the motor home trailer light recptacle. I used only four wires plus ground. There is probably a way you could tap into the wiring harnes under the hood but not having a wiring diagram this is the best I could come up with and all lights do work. You can buy a test plug with led lights that plugs in both male and female, real handy for checking connections.

You can as others do although it is not recommended by mechanics like us. The transmission does tend to get hot and the pump is not circulating the trans fluid causing leaks later on prematurely

SOURCE: Trailer wiring problem. Tow vehicle is a 2008

Most likely the brown wire from the trailer connector is connected to a constant battery voltage source, and it should be connected to the vehicle running light circuit, however someone might have wired the trailer connector up that way on purpose so that the trailer does not draw power from the vehicle running lights and possibly damage the vehicle running light circuit. (Dodge/Chrysler vehicles do have delicate lighting systems) Here are some images to help assist you, and the 4 way connector is the same as the 5 way connector just without the blue wire for the trailer brakes.

I have a 2016 Focus sedan with the platinum package. I want to flat tow with my RV. Is it critical to disconnect the battery? Does this protect the battery or is it necessary to protect other items?

As long as you disconnect the battery.. you will be fine.. but make sure you have brake lights.. check your state laws concerning towing behind an RV.. some require the brake lights on the towed vehicle to work (or have optional brake lights)..remember..its YOUR car and YOUR RV... SAFETY FIRST!

I have no power to the green wire on towing wiring harness

The green wire should be the right turn signal. Is the turn signal working on the truck,if if is the problem is probably in the towing harness or its connection to the truck.Check for fouling in the connection or a broken wire.
