• Parts Needed to Add Redarc Tow-Pro Liberty to 2025 Toyota Grand Highlander Max Platinum Hybrid
  Hey Kyle! It looks like the tow package on your Grand Highlander comes with a hitch and 4-way wiring. To add a brake controller all you need to do is upgrade it to a 7-way. The Universal Installation Kit for Trailer Brake Controller # ETBC7 will upgrade your existing 4-way to a 7-way. Once that is installed, you can add the Redarc Tow-Pro Liberty Brake Controller # RED52VR. What kind of trailer will you be towing?

• 5th Wheel Hitch for Clean Bed Once Removed on a 2003 Chevy Silverado 1500 Short Bed
  If you are wanting to keep the bed of your 2003 Chevy Silverado 1500 clean then I highly recommend using the B&W Companion # BWRVK3400-5W because it mounts in the B&W Gooseneck Hitch # BWGNRK1059-5W. Instead of having bed rails in the bed of your truck you just have the gooseneck hitch ball receiver and safety chain loops as you can see in the attached photo. The Companion is made right here in the USA, has a 20,000 lb weight capacity (which is more than your pickup), 17" - 19" of height...

• How to Activate the Factory Trailer Towing Package on a 2000 Chevy Silverado
  The wiring will already be run on your 2000 Chevy Silverado. There will be 1 of 2 wiring situations on your truck. The wiring for the 7-Way will be located above the spare tire. If it is just bare wires with no plug, you will need to hard wire one in. The harness we have for this wiring situation is Pollak 7-Pole, RV-Style Trailer Connector Socket w/ Wiring Harness and Mounting Bracket, # PK11898. If your truck has a plug, then you will need to use a connector like the Replacement Multi-Tow...

• Parts Needed to add Electric Trailer Brakes to 1990 Skamper 190c
  You are able to install an electric braking system on your trailer. The parts needed are going to be determined by the axle that your camper is equipped with. From what I can tell from your picture, it looks like this is a 4 lug axle which is going to likely mean you have a 2,000-lb axle with a 1-3/4" diameter. In order to verify that is correct you will need to confirm that the Inner and Outer bearings on your trailer wheel hubs match L44649. You can verify this once you've taken it apart...

• Color Code for Tow Package Wires on 2002 Chevy Silverado 1500
  Most GM trucks use a pretty standard wire color for their tow packages, but I always recommend testing for function, and not just color. If you follow the bundle back there should be more wires than the ones you mentioned, for a total of 8. There's 7 for the trailer connector and 1 for a dedicated brake light circuit for adding a 3rd brake light on a camper shell. The wires on your 2002 Silverado should be as follows : White - ground Yellow - Left turn and stop signal Dark Green - Right...

• Trailer Running Light Fuse Location on a 2012 Ford F-250
  On your 2012 Ford F-250 power distribution box, under the hood, the trailer running light circuit fuse is in location 26 and is labeled as Trailer tow park lamps. The relay for this circuit is location 29. To test a relay the easiest way is to use a known good relay in its place. I was able to find this information in the owner's manual starting on page 321. You may also want to check where the trailer connectors plug into the vehicle wiring harness and to each other as well as the 7-Way...

• Installing Vehicle Side Trailer Connector to Trailer Deep Cycle Battery to Power 12V Interior Lights
  The Hopkins Endurance Quick-Install 7-Way Trailer Connector with Universal Pigtail Harness - Vehicle End # HM47210 can be connected directly to your trailer battery. You will run the Red wire to the positive terminal on your battery, but the white ground wire will connect to your trailer frame, just like the negative terminal of your battery does. You just want to make sure that connection to your frame is free of rust or corrosion for a bare metal to metal connection. That will give...

• Hitch and Wiring Harness for Towing a Trailer w/ Brakes Behind a 5th Wheel Trailer
  Hey Charles. It is possible to triple tow, 1 tow vehicle + 2 trailers, when both trailer's have brakes. However, this would mean that the brake output wire that runs from the brake controller in your truck and to both trailers would need to be at least 6 gauge so you don't have issues with voltage drop. Additionally, the number of braked axles cannot exceed what your brake controller is capable of handing. The 7-way will splice in behind the tail lights on your 5th wheel trailer. To...

• Best Brake Controller for a 2010 Chevy Silverado Work Truck
  Hey Kenneth, thanks for reaching out! I recommend going with the Tekonsha Primus IQ Trailer Brake Controller # TK90160 because it's entry-level as far as ease of use goes, it has a great price-point, and it's backed by a limited lifetime warranty which is pretty unusual for a controller at this price. If your 2010 Chevy Silverado came with the factory tow package then you should just need to splice the included pigtail wiring harness to some wiring under your dash, but if you don't have...

Installing the Tekonsha Prodigy P2 Brake Controller # 90885 that you referenced is just a matter of connecting the controller wiring to this wiring under the dash of your truck. Once the brake controller is in place you may still need to make some connections in the fuse box under the hood to get power to the unit. I have attached a helpful article...

• How To Wire a 7-Way Trailer Connector On a 2000 Chevy Silverado
  The 2000 Chevrolet Silverado's all come with some sort of factory trailer wiring under the rear bumper that you can attach a trailer connector to. There are models with simply blunt cut wires and in which case you would need the Pollak 7-Pole, RV-Style Trailer Connector Socket w/ Wiring Harness and Mounting Bracket part # PK11898.

  If you have a 7-way connector at the rear of your 2002 Chevrolet Silverado 1500HD, the installation for a brake controller can be very simple. If you have a brake controller, you will need to know what the manufacturer is and you will want to see if there is an adapter that can plug into the harness on your Silverado.

  If you don't already have the connector, I recommend the Pollak 7-Pole, RV-Style Trailer Connector Socket w/ Wiring Harness and Mounting Bracket # PK11898.

Also, the number of braked axles cannot exceed what your brake controller is capable of handing which most are usually four. In order to obtain the needed length of 6 gauge or greater wire...

• 7 Way Connection with Junction Box With Traditional Wiring Scheme vs RV Wiring Scheme
  I have a solution for you, but we aren't going to have any 7 way connections and junction boxes that are wired with the same color wires/pin locations as the traditional wiring setups you're looking for. I recommend using the 7 way connector # A7WCB and hard wiring your plug the way you want it setup. You can get wire by the foot (12 gauge) # 12-1-1 or (10 gauge) # 10-1-1 and a Trailer Wiring Junction Box # 3375601100 to finish off this project. This will allow you to use the proper gauge...

I've attached an article to help with the pin/function locations which will be consistent even if the color wire is not. If you have the wiring functions located where they are working, you can also determine which wires are not working and trace them back to where they are...
