• Trailer Brakes on Airstream Trailer are Weak Even After Adjusting Them
  Usually when the brakes start to get weak it is because they need to be adjusted. If you had them adjusted and the problem persists it could be a problem with the brake magnets. First, you can visually inspect the magnets and if you can see the windings coming through they will need to be replaced. To further test the magnets you can follow the help article I have linked. Inspect the wiring to the trailer brakes, the magnet ground wires, and the trailer connectors on truck and trailer....

• Electric RV Steps Vibrate When Closing After Installing New Motor
  I am not sure what model steps or motor you currently have, but there are a few reasons why there might be some vibration when closing the step. The first thing I recommend doing is making sure the new motor is mounted in such a way that it is making proper and secure contact with the gear plate, which is what will provide a ground connection. A weak ground connection can lead to the vibration and otherwise less than ideal motor operation for the step assembly. Also make sure that the...

• Recommendation on a 2 Inch Hitch for an Infiniti QX60 AWD
  We have two 2" hitches that will fit your 2015 Infiniti QX60 AWD. Of the two hitches, I recommend the Draw-Tite Class IV Hitch, # 76031, over the Curt Class III Hitch, # C13126.

My contact has had no reports of issues with this item used in Land Rovers. Before installing this adapter it is suggested...

• Utility Trailer Running Light Will Not Work When Plugged Into 2014 Dodge Ram Pickup
  The first thing I would check is the your trailer to vehicle plug. Check to see if any of the pins in the connector look corroded. If the pins look good, make sure that there is plenty of dielectric grease # LT37534 in the connection. The grease will help ensure a good electrical connection while preventing corrosion and sealing out contaminants that might cause electrical shorts. Next I would check the fuses in the truck. You can use a tester like # 40376 to check the fuses to see...

• Troubleshooting Trailer Running Lights That Do Not Work on Wiring Harness in 2008 Honda Element
  Thank you for your hitch purchase earlier this year. When some trailer lights work, such as the brake and turn lights, but the running lights do not work properly, the most common cause is a weak ground connection. This is because a weak ground will be able to pass enough current to operate lights that come on sometimes, such as turn and brake lights, but NOT enough current to also operate the always-on running lights. If a certain function does not work at all at any time then it is...

The linked article may be helpful to you as you troubleshoot. When troubleshooting trailer lighting it is usually easiest to disconnect the trailer from the vehicle and test each individually. Inspect both car and trailer side connectors for even slight greenish or whitish discoloration on the contacts. Clean as required; you can...

• Passenger Side Running Lights On Boat Trailer Have No Power But Stop/Turn Lights Work
  Running light signals on a trailer are carried by a different wire than the one that carries stop and turn signals. On a 4-pole flat wiring harness like Optronics # A35W42B the brown wires carry running light signals and the yellow and green wires carry left- and right-turn signals and brake lights, respectively. The linked article on trailer wiring shows this and other connector types and the function typically carried on each wire. Checking your individual lights' grounds is a good...

• Recommended 12 Inch Vehicle Side 4-Way With Mount And Cover

• Installing Dielectric Grease on 7-Way Plugs to Prevent Corrosion and Keep Electrical Connection
  Dielectric grease is basically just applied in a thin coating to the connector plug. You can use # 11755 or # LT37534 if you prefer a smaller amount. I've attached a video to assist. Just like the connection on the back, you can add this to the trailer pins on the front of the connector as well to keep moisture and debris out to prevent corrosion. I've attached an article to help as well.

• Charging Trailer Batteries While Towing Using the Alternator in a 2016 Ford F-150
  The problem with charging trailer mounted batteries is that vehicle alternators and the wiring going through, say, a 7-Way trailer connector cannot push back the amperage required to charge up the batteries (or it would take an extremely long time). At best they can maintain the charge level in most cases. But there is a solution to that issue and it is actually similar to what you have suggested. What you need is a DC to DC charger. We do have one rated at 40 amps, # 331-BCDC1240D,...

• Availability of a Cover to Protect the Trailer 7-Way Plug From Weather and Other Elements
  I have found a solution for you. The Fastway Tethered 7-Way Cover, # FA82-00-3315 will tether to your 7-way trailer plug and has a rubber cap that will fit over the plug end. The cap will keep dirt and other contaminates out of the 7-way. I also recommend using # LT37534 dielectric grease with this cap. Applying dielectric grease to the plug's pins will add extra protection from moister and dirt getting into the plug's pins.

  Depending if you already have a 7-way connector installed or not on your 2009 Chevrolet Tahoe will determine the amount of additional parts that will be needed when installing a brake controller. First, the Draw-Tite I-Command Brake Controller, # 5535, that you referenced is a quality controller that will work well with your Tahoe. If you already have a 7-way trailer connector installed on your Tahoe, then all you will need is this brake controller and the included wiring harness....

• Trailer Wiring Harness for a 1999Toyota RAV4
  The Curt trailer wiring harness # C55307 fits 2001 to 2005 Toyota RAV4 models but it will not fit a 1999 RAV4. For your 1999 RAV4 you would need to use # C55486. Or you could use harness # 118388. And a third option is Hopkins harness # 43455. Out of these three options I recommend Tow Ready harness # 118388 since they tend to be the most reliable. I have included links to the instructions for the Curt and Draw-Tite harnesses for you. It is always a good idea to apply a small amount...

• Troubleshooting No Power to Monitor in Hopkins Smart Hitch Backup Camera HM50002
  Both the camera and monitor portions of the Hopkins Smart Hitch Backup Camera # HM50002 receive their power from the vehicle's reverse light circuit. This circuit is accessed when the round U.S. Car connector is plugged in at the factory 7-way. Both the camera and monitor should turn on and off when the truck is shifted into and out of reverse gear. If your truck's reverse lights work then no other fuses or relays should be required. The monitor's cable plugs in to the camera assembly...

• Process for Replacing Broken 921 Bulb in 2004 Surveyor
  A small bulb like the 921 type you referenced, part # VA0415-00, is a friction fit in its socket. The bulb is removed by grasping and pulling it straight out. In your case since the bulb is broken you'll need to be careful to avoid cuts and you may need something other than your fingers to get at the remaining parts of the bulb. There are pliers available that have cushioned jaws to allow gripping brittle items, but if you do not have such a tool handy you can use a piece of cloth between...

• Trailer Brake Lights Do Not Function When Brakes Are Applied on Tow Vehicle
  If your Tekonsha Primus IQ Brake Controller # TK90160 is effectively activating your trailer's brakes, but the trailer's brake lights only are not functioning, then the issue is within the vehicle's trailer wiring harness and not related to the brake controller itself. Very often a bad ground connection at your wiring harness is the cause for one of the lighting functions to fail. It can happen that when the white ground wire from your harness does not make a completely solid connection...

• Trailer Light Fuse in 2004 Chevy Silverado Blows When Any Trailer is Connected to 7-way
  Since you have the issue with your truck's trailer left turn fuse blowing no matter what trailer is connected, the issue is likely to be in the truck's 7-way socket or the wiring leading to it. Corrosion can build up in the truck's 7-way socket - either on the pin contacts themselves or even inside the back of the connector - and this can cause two circuits, such as the trailer left turn/brake circuit and the 12V auxiliary trailer power circuit, to become bridged together. The round...

• Protecting a Trailer 7-Way Connector While Trailer is in Storage
  Covers for 7-Way trailer connectors are very uncommon and the only ones we have are attached to powered jacks. An inexpensive solution would be to use a small battery box such as # TK2051 and slightly modify it so you can put the 7-Way in it. I also recommend adding some dielectric grease, # LT37534, to repel moisture.

• Protecting Trailer Electrical Connections from Salt Water on a Boat Trailer
  What I recommend doing is wrapping electrical connections using heat shrink tubing # DW05452. This will keep on the water and preserve the metal connectors from the light. I also recommend using dielectric grease # LT37534 between electrical connections to repel moisture. I also recommend running a jumper ground from the light ground location somewhere further up on the trailer (at a spot that won't be under water) so that the ground is not affected. If at all possible, rinse the...

• Will a Dead Battery In the Breakaway Box Cause Trailer Brakes to Not Disengage?
  A dead battery would not be the cause of your brakes not disengaging. A dead battery would have the complete opposite effect on your brakes. A dead battery wouldn't send the electric signal to engage the electric brakes and no electric signal would mean no brakes at all from the breakaway standpoint, but you will still have brake signal from your brake controller. When you connect your tow vehicle, that will send signal to your trailer brakes only when the brakes are engaged on your...
