• 7 to 4-Way Adapter for 2010 Buick Enclave w/ Factory Tow Package
  If your Enclave has the 7-Way connector that has the factory harness that plugs into the rear of it, the 4-Pole Trailer Adapter for GM trucks with Factory 7 Way, part # 118384 will work great for you. Another option would be to use an adapter that would plug into the front of the 7-way, like the 7 to 4-Way Adapter with Tester, part # 47345.

• How Heavy of a Trailer Can be Pulled with a 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland
  If the fully loaded weight of your boat and trailer does not exceed that of the maximum towing capacity for your 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland then yes, you can tow it. The towing capacities for a Grand Cherokee can be found on page 595 of your owner's manual. In order to tow your boat trailer you are going to need a trailer hitch, trailer wiring harness, and ball mount/hitch ball. If you do not already have these components then I recommend using the following: For the trailer hitch,...

• Troubleshooting Trailer Wiring Where Light Switch on Trailer isn't Working
  It's very likely that the 12 volt accessory circuit of your trailer wiring is bad but you can use a circuit tester like part # PTW2993 to verify that power is making it to the wire that leads into the switch. If there's power there the issue would be the switch but if not it's the fuse. I'd predict that it's just a fuse under the hood though.

• Troubleshooting Ram Brake Controller Not Showing Connection to Trailer
  Typically the problem you are having is caused by corrosion on the brake controller output pin of the 7-way on either the vehicle side or the trailer side. If you take sandpaper to all of the pins this normally is the easy fix for this. The fact you are seeing a dim flicker on the tester when plugged into the vehicle is a good sign as that indicates that the circuit is complete from the controller. What you are seeing is basically the controller testing for a trailer connection with a...

• 'Will 118384 T-connector Pass All Tow Package Circuits Through to Trailer
  The Tekonsha # 118384 plugs inline between the factory tow package harness and the factory 7-way trailer connector. All the lighting functions, the 12-v feed and the brake controller output will indeed be passed through to the 7-way trailer connector.

• Troubleshooting A Service Trailer Brake System Warning Light In A 2014 Ram 1500
  If your service trailer brake system indicator light comes on then there are a few common things to check. The first being the trailer wiring if you're only experiencing this issue when connected to the trailer. This could be a a loose or corroded ground connection on the trailer or a short in the output wire for the brake assemblies. It also wouldn't hurt to check the 7-way on your Ram to ensure everything is functioning properly as well. If you're receiving this error without a trailer...

• How to Add Second 4-Pole Trailer Connector to 2015 Ford F-150
  If you want to add a separate 4-pole connector to your F-150 to power the lights in your tool box you can use part # 118384. This will simply plug in behind your existing trailer connector, going inline with it. Your existing 4-pole/7-way will remain active but you'll then have a second separate 4-pole for connection to the tool box lighting. If your tool box uses different wiring/connectors than a standard 4-pole, please let me know. You'll want to ensure the total load from all lights...

• No Running Light On My Trailer When Connected To My 2011 Ram Sport
  Under the hood of your 2011 Dodge Ram there should be a 20 amp fuse for the trailer running lights. It is a fairly common problem with your generation of truck that fuse ends up blowing. There should be a legend on the fuse box or you can find it in your owners manual that details where all the different fuses are. Use that to find the correct fuse and replace it.

• Adding Extra Tail Lights to a 2002 Chevy Silverado with Tommy Lift Gate
  If your 2002 Chevy Silverado does not have a 7-Way trailer connector at the back then check up around the spare tire for a wiring harness. The harness will either be just blunt cut wires or there will be a round connector. If there is a round connector you can install # C55515 and then use a light kit that plugs into the 4-Way such as # TLL9RK. If the truck already has a 7-Way you can use # 118384 to Tee into the 7-Way wiring and still use # TLL9RK. If there are just blunt cut wires then...

• Malfunctioning Right Turn and Brake Lights with Factory Installed 4-Way Trailer Connector
  Since you have a factory 4-Way and 7-Way, they will be wired to the same harness on the vehicle. The extra 3 wires for the 7-Way go directly to the plug but the 4 shared light wires should be split. We need to determine if the problem is between the 4-Way and the harness connector or if it is further up the harness in the vehicle wiring. Open the cap for the larger round 7-Way at the rear of the vehicle. As you look into it, the blade pin in the 3:00 position would be for right turn and...

• Can Rear Fascia Panel be Replaced After Installing Curt Trailer Hitch # 13424, 2011 Chevy Traverse
  You will notice in the instructions that I have linked for Curt Trailer Hitch, # 13424, that it states that the panel in question may be reinstalled on some models. So I spoke with my contact at Curt to determine if the 2011 Chevy Traverse was a model that it could be reinstalled on. He stated that they did not have information on the 2011 but on the 2010 it can be reinstalled. Basically, if the rear fascia is the same on the 2011, then it will fit. But if it has been redesigned, it will...

• Can a 4-Way Flat Trailer Wiring Connector be Added to a 2010 Chevy Silverado
  A 7-way will have a round socket and blade-style pins in it. The 2010 Silverado would either have a 7-Way connector or no connector. If the connector is present, use a circuit tester like # PTW2993 to test the function on the pins while someone sits in the truck to turn them off and on while you test. If there is no connector, you would need to install # PK11916. All of the wiring will already be present, you would just need to plug this connector in. If you wanted to change it over to...

• Trailer Hitch Recommendation for a 2011 Jeep Liberty
  You may not believe this but even the Class II trailer hitches for a 2011 Jeep Liberty have the face of the receiver extend beyond the rear bumper of the vehicle. Since this is the case, I would go ahead with a Class III. If you are going to have bruised shins, might as well be from a hitch with a higher capacity and more accessory options. For a Class III hitch I recommend the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch, # 75578. I have included a link to the installation instructions. In the upper left...

• Trailer Lights and Fuse Problems for a 2010 Chevrolet 2500 HD Trail Lights Blowing Fuses
  Since you have connected other trucks to your trailer and do not see the same problem, lets isolate the truck from the trailer. Inspect the connection at the vehicle for any loose connections, damage to any connector pins or wires associated with the trailer wire connection. You can use a circuit tester, I would recommend # PTW2993, to make sure that there is power being properly delivered to the trailer by your connector. I have included a link to the circuit tester kit part, a video link...

• 4-Way Recommendation for 2012 Jeep Liberty with 7-Way
  Since you have a 7-way installed already on your 2012 Jeep Liberty I have a much easier solution for a 4-way but the part # 118554 would technically fit and work. Instead the part # 118384 would be much easier to install and use. This will plug in line with the 7-way at the rear of your Liberty and then will provide you with a 4-way.

• Multi-tow Trailer Wiring Connector for a 2007 Chevy Silverado Classic
  We do have a multitow connector that will fit the 2007 Chevy Silverado Classic. It has a 7-Way and a 4-Way, but not a 5-Way. It is part # HM40975. I have included a link to a video showing a typical installation.

• How To Install a 4-Pole Trailer Connector on 2015 Chevy Tahoe With Existing 7-Way
  You could use an adapter like # PK12716, but I'd personally rather use a t-connection like what's provided by the # 118384 from Tekonsha as a permanently mounted solution. Too often folks will leave an adapter sitting on the bumper and drive off, and the adapter is gone-never to be seen again (ask me how I know this). The # 118384 4-pole connector would plug inline at the connection where the factory tow package harness plugs into the rear of your existing 7-way. Simply unplug the harness...

• Availability of Adapter to Convert 7-way Trailer Connector on 2009 Chevy Silverado to a 4-Pole
  We have several different options that would allow you to plug in a trailer that uses a 4 pole trailer connector. If you wanted to leave your current 7-way trailer connector in place, you could simply use a plug in adapter like part # PK12716. We don't offer a plug in adapter that would provide both a 7-way and a 4-pole and retain your existing 7-way, but if you'd be willing to remove your current 7-way, part # HM40975 would provide both a 4-pole and a 7-way and would not require an adapter....

• Comparing Diesel vs Gas Engine for Jeep Grand Cherokee to Tow Trailer
  I took a look at the online version of the owner's manual for the 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee and it appears the actual towing capacity won't differ between the gas or diesel engine, as you are looking at a 6,200 pound limit for either option. The benefits then for a diesel engine over a gas is more power and low-end torque which in real life situations just means the Jeep's going to "feel" a bit more powerful when pulling a heavier trailer, especially when traveling through rough or hilly...

• 2004 GMC Sierra 1500 4x4 pickup truck 4 door short bed
  You'll need to begin by isolating the sources of the problem. Usually, the problem is in the trailer wiring. When the fuse lets loose, is the trailer plugged in? If so, you likely have a short circuit in the wiring on the trailer. Start at the trailer connector, and examine it for excessive corrosion or damage. Clean or repair as needed. Trace each circuit from the trailer plug back to its fixture. Look for wires that are pinched or for loose connections. Check for cracked or worn wire...

• Inline 4-Pole Trailer Connector for 2001 Ford F-150

• Replacement 7-Way and 4-Pole Trailer Connector for 2010 Toyota Tacoma with OEM 7-Way
  According to Hopkins, their # HM43385 is compatible with the 2003-2007 Tundra, but not the Tacoma. Since you already have the OEM 7-way, and you are simply wanting to add a 4-pole, you could just use part # 118384. This is a T-connector that will plug inline with the factory harness that plugs into the rear of your 7-way. Installation would be simple. Unplug the factory harness from the rear of your existing connector, plug the 4-pole inline, and install a bracket like # 18144 for the...

• Connecting 3rd Brake Light of Truck Camper Shell to 2013 GMC Sierra Wiring Harness
  For connecting your truck shell 3rd brake light on your 2013 GMC Sierra 1500 I recommend adding the Tekonsha T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118384. This will allow you to be able to unplug the wiring that will go to your truck shell if you need to remove it from the truck. It will also not require you to splice into any of your vehicle wiring. To this you will need the Wesbar 4-Pole Flat Connector # W787268 to allow you wiring up to your 3rd brake light. You will then be able to wire...

• Where Is Fuse For 12v Power To 7-way Connector In 2020 Ram 1500?
  I check the owner's manual of your 2020 Ram 1500 and the fuse for the 12v power pin on your 2020 Ram 1500 is located in the fuse box underneath the instrument panel on the driver side, and the fuse is F01 which is a 30amp pink fuse. Check to make sure the fuse is not blown/missing, as this is more than likely causing the pin to not have power. I included a link to a helpful article on wiring for you to take a look at.
