Thanks wab: I don't think any state laws are the issue here. I am aware that there are some roads across the country designated as no trailers. I've been on several of them but never towing a trailer. I don't not think there are any state laws that would prevent me from legally towing a trailer with the C-Max. I will be adding a towing hitch to my motorcycle soon as well. This will break the factory warranty with regard to suspension components that will begin to wear abnormally from the added loads and stresses, but that is my choice to make. Similarly, back in 1979, I bought a new Honda Goldwing. At that time, Honda did not offer fairings, saddle bags, and trunks for them either and had the similar dire warnings. We all installed Vetter Windjammer fairings and touring luggage anyway. A few years later, Honda recognized the error of their ways and started selling motorcycles that were equipped the way their customer's wanted. I suspect that Ford's reluctance to offer towing packages here in the USA has more to do with making EPA model efficiency standards than anything else. It's certainly not a power or structural limitation on the C-Max. Be well

Perfect! Yes those are the colors at the lap connectors. That's exactly what I needed. Thank you sir. I asked the dealer and they said since Ford did not offer or install tow packages on the C-Max Hybrid, they could not help. I reminded them Ford does install tow packages on the C-Max in Europe. Cheers!

Hi I'm installing a powered taillight converter and am trying to identify the wires to tap into for Stop/Tail/Turn lights. I tried with a multi-meter and the results didn't make any sense, so I'm looking for a wiring diagram that shows the circuit wire color coding. So far I'm not having much luck. Does anyone have access to wiring diagrams? Thanks

Thanks Frank. That should do the trick.

Hi: I have a 2013 hybrid and have installed a towing hitch for a motorcycle trailer. I also purchased a powered taillight converter I need to install. It needs a 12v connection for power. Under the utility cover in the cargo area of the car, there is a battery connection. I can't figure out if this is the 12v battery connection I should use of if this is the high-voltage battery I should stay away from. Nothing in the tutorials or on-line information seems to have this important information. Does anyone know? I suppose I could put a multi-meter on it and see. Cheers and thanks
