Trailer Wire Harness - Tail Light Wire Color?

Folks, looking for some help ....

Using Curt's wiring module 59236 my trailer brake and turn signals operate as they should. I am unable to get the tail lights to operate. Curt's wiring diagram does not provide a wire color for tail lights ....

Any feedback would be great!

Thanks!

Take a look here (link below). This was posted before there was a dedicated F54 page. I posted the correct wiring on post 438. I use my hitch about once per week and I couldn't live without it. The wiring is correct as I described it. Perhaps on newer cars they changed some of the wire color, but that's doubtful. Anyway, if in doubt, it's easy to pop out the tail lights to verify the colors. Note that the brake and tail lights operate differently with the doors open so check it with the doors closed. Lots of information on the installation and wiring in this link. Let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks for your post!

I was able to complete over the weekend and did not see your post ...

The one thing that made the biggest difference for me was that once you open the barn doors on the clubman ...the door tail lights do not operate and send power to the bumper lights... hard to find power/voltage when there is NONE! ... LOL ... once I figured that out the rest was easy!
