Wiring for trailer
#17
Usually the manufacturer has detailed guides as well.
Thanks.

For example, which wire on the car side to tap into? What color would the tail light lamp be? What color would the Stop Lamp be? What color would the Turn Lamp be? Is our car a 2 or 3 wire setup? How does the 2 or 3 wire setup affect the installation using the Curt 59236 kit?
I appreciate anyone's help and thank you for taking the time to answer my questions.

Personally I think it's probably best you splice into the taillight wiring side rather than the vehicle harness side. It would be easier to replace a trial light assembly than to replace a good chunk of vehicle wiring harness in case you do accidentally slice through it entirely with the splice.
I went with the 4 wire system on my tekonsha, I believe its the most reliable method of doing things.

How I did it was very simple, I used a multimeter to check each wire for activity (eg 12v) and hooked onto said wire.

I have pictures of my nx450h+ 2023 installation, however my harness may or may not match yours.

Oh thank you soo much. So this harness you are showing in the pictures is the harness that connects to the taillight? I think it should be similar to what I have as well. It's just a bit confusing to know which wire is which. But this helps a lot. Thank you. I'll give it a try and update here.
In my picture, I unhooked the two connectors from the bracket for ease of access.
