Curt 56146 trailer hitch 4 way wiring install into 2014 Mercedes GLK250
Just completed the install of CURT 56146 Powered trailer wiring into the GLK250 with Led lights.
I needed a fuse tap and some wire to complete the install. I also covered the wire with wire loom just for protection and presentation.
Wiring is as follows:
CURT UNIT --------------------------------------------------MERCEDES
WHITE AND RED (ground) ---------------------------- Vehicle chassis ground
BLACK (12v power)-----------------------------------------FUSE TAP AND FUSE 76 (socket rear) at rear fuse box
GREEN (passenger turn signal)-------------------------BLUE at passenger side light connector
BROWN (taillight signal) ---------------------------------Light blue/ Blue line at passenger side connector
YELLOW (drivers side turn signal) -------------------- PINK at drivers side light connector
The unit is meant to be installed on the drivers side but I installed it on the passenger side under the tail light connector. Because of this i used the extra green wire to extend to the drivers side light connector, that's why thew wire is also green and not yellow.

I have a harness that separates the taillight and the brake. I would assume that the turn signal (of either side) would be a good input for the trailer module?

@ Q300 Fan, seems to me you are explaining the wiring in reference to the curt colors, can you share what colors to what on the Mercedes plug side do? I.e drivers side signal wire is pink, what are the colors on that plug for tail light and stop light?
Appreciate any help. Cant find a 2015 GLK250 tail light wiring diagram. Thanks.
