• Trailer Hitch and Wiring Harness for 2007 Dodge Caliber R/T AWD
  
• I apologize but at this time our manufacturers are only producing hitches for the SE and SXT models, not the R/T. The R/T is a performance minded model and due the differences between the R/T and SE/SXT models, a hitch cannot be safely attached to the frame.

• Troubleshooting T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118428 on a 2007 Jeep Patriot
  
• It sounds like you have a bad ground somewhere. When you turn on the headlights the maximum amperage draw is on the trailer connector and this causes marginal ground connections to show up. I would start by checking the ground connection on the wiring harness on the vehicle. Make sure that it is grounded to a good clean point and that the screw is tight and not stripped out. If the ground is good use a circuit tester, item # 3808 if needed, and check the trailer connector, with the trailer no

• Will A Short In The Trailer Wiring Short out The Converter Box On A 2008 Jeep Compass
  
• Yes, a short on the trailer wiring will take out the converter on your 2008 Jeep Compass. You will need to inspect the trailer wiring on the left side of the trailer to locate where the short is and repair it. The LED lights on the trailer will not be causing any problems with the converter. I am sending a link to an information page that will describe how to troubleshoot your trailer wiring.

• Trailer Turn Signals Not Working with # 118408 Wiring Harness Installed on a 2008 Jeep Commander
  
• It sounds like you have one of two problems. First, I wold check the wiring harness at the back of the vehicle. Disconnect the trailer and make sure the ground wire is connected to a clean, rust, paint and corrosion free ground location. Then using a circuit tester, item # 3808 if needed, test the wires going into the converter. The red wire should have the brake signal on it, the green wire should have the right turn signal on it, the yellow wire should have the left turn signal on it, and t

• Installing The Tow Ready T-One Wiring Harness, # 118428, On A 2007 Dodge Caliber R/T
  
• I called the manufacturer (Tow Ready) and they said there is no difference in the taillight wiring harness for the 2007 Dodge Caliber and the Caliber R/T. I also checked with a fellow worker here who worked in the Chrysler/Dodge factory that made the Caliber and Caliber R/T. He said that he installed the taillights in the same vehicles and that they are the same taillights. To install the Tow Ready T-One Wiring Harness, # 118428, on your 2007 Dodge Caliber R/T you will want to unplug the tail

• Short Circuited Trailer Wiring Harness on 2007 Jeep Patriot
  
• Since the converter has power entering but not exiting it, it has been shorted out and will need to be replaced. The exposed piece of wire on that right turn circuit could certainly have caused the problem by contacting a metal surface under the vehicle and causing a short. The vast majority of the time, when a converter fails it is due to a short circuit on the trailer itself. Take a few minutes and closely examine each lighting circuit on your trailer, from the connector itself to the lamp

• Troubleshooting T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness, # 118428 Not Working on a 2008 Jeep Compass
  
• This may seem like an obvious suggestion but you will need to make sure the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness, # 118428, is directly connected to the positive battery terminal on the vehicle via the included fuse and holder. Any other 12 volt source is not sufficient. Make sure the fuse is intact and fully inserted into the holder. If you have done this and followed all of the other instructions and there is still no power or signals coming through then there could be a problem inside the convert

• Is Installation of the Power Wire Required for Trailer Hitch Wiring on a 2007 Dodge Caliber
  
• The T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness, # 118552, for a 2009 model Caliber or # 118428, for a 2007 Caliber, powers the trailer lighting from the vehicle battery. If you do not connect the power wire to the vehicle positive battery post, the harness will not function properly and the vehicles sensitive wiring and circuitry would be at risk of damage if a short circuit would occur on the trailer wiring. The black converter box serves several functions. First, it senses when the brakes, turn signals o
