I noticed the wiring harness does not have a cable for ground...will it still work?

Works fine for me. I think one of the pig tail wires is a ground. As was in my review, the gauge of wires in the harness is pretty skimpy. Don't know how long it will last, but the hitch is a very good buy.

It plugs right into the electrical system already there. Everything is already wired appropriately.

The wiring harness for the hitch plugs directly into the wiring harness behind and to the Left Rear Tail Light. Yes the lights work as designed.

Yes it will work, it is grounded through the harness and through the hitch ball itself

Just because this unit didn't come with a ground wire dose not mean you can't make one. Find a metal area on the frame of the unit-there should be a screw there somewhere to connect a wire and connect the other end to a metal area on the receiver-there should be a screw there also. I really hope this works for you-good luck.

You will likely need a $20 wire harness from anywhere, as most are not universal. What you see will likely come with it barring packaging issues.

No. The copper wire is not the ground. This cable does not have a separate ground wire attached (not that its necessary or even useful). A standard coax such as this one has 2 lines, the center copper wire "signal" and the outer shield "ground". The shield serves as the ground line for the signal, but this is not the same ground you need if you are talking about antenna installation. Antenna's need a separate heavy gauge short straight run to an actual ground (lightning protection). In my opinion, coax wires with the extra ground attached to the side are useless.

I bought and installed the wiring kit, only to learn that I needed the $50 module to make it work. I left it installed, but never purchased the connector module... So no, by itself, this wiring kit will not work. Maybe if you buy the $50 module, it may??

no. there is no ground connection to the anteenae itself. it grounds thru your electrical outlet. if you have a splitter make sure you have a ground to that if it outdoors.

Hi Riqui, The unit does not include all the wiring. You may use adapters depending on your car connection needs. -Anthony

There is no separate grounding connection. The ground is integrated into the RCA cable. My local dealer has faith that this setup works fine, though I would prefer a separate ground.

My previous set up was 3 wires. 2 hot and a ground. I did a few searches and was told that this unit did not need the ground wire so I left it disconnected as there is no place to connect it. The unit has been working fine for 8+ months now.

YES. Your power wire is big enough to use as a ground wire. Use one solid piece of wire for your ground, do NOT splice two wires together.

We have this item in stock. The ASIN is B008YVOLH0. You will need a factory harness to make it work. -Tim

I believe I ran it back to the neg side of the battery since the system does not use the chassis for a ground.Just touch it and see if whatever you are hooking up works .

To my surprise, the switch did not have a ground connection. I'm guessing that it's not required because there are no exposed connections (it attaches with wires and wire nuts), and that the construction is double insulated.

I don't. There has to be a problem with the installation. Probably a ground cable wrongly connected.

I would check the ground cables. You also might need a voltage regulator as well

There was no ground connector on my original moron, so I snipped off the grounding wire on the new one

I think that by code, it is required to be grounded in a new installation. There may be an exception when installed into existing wiring, depending upon your local regulation. This unit does require a neutral (white usually) wire in the box. Many times the missing neutral is the problem...not the missing ground. It may be possible to ground it to the box.
