• Parts Needed To Use Curt Echo Trailer Brake Controller On a 2020 Acura MDX Without a Tow Package
  I do see the Receiver # C13146 and 4-Way # 118628 you got from us for your 2020 Acura MDX. Depending on if you got a 7-way like our Kit # ETBC7 which includes the wiring needed for a charge line or just an Adapter # 37185 will decide what all you need to use the Curt Echo # C51180. If you only have the Adapter # 37185 you are going to need enough 10 Gauge Wire # DW02508-1(sold by foot) to run from the battery to the 7-way, Circuit Breaker # 9510, two Ring Terminals # DW05740-1 for connecting...

• Parts Needed to Re-Wire 18 Foot Car Hauler Trailer with 7-Way Connector
  To re-wire your 18 foot car hauler with electric brakes on one axle, I recommend using a wiring junction box like # 38656 in order to make the connections from the lights and brakes. Then for a 7-way trailer plug, you can use the Hopkins # H20046. This connector has an 8 foot lead. The shorter 6 foot # H20044 or 4 foot # H20043 trailer connectors are also available. I recommend using a circuit tester like # 40376 to determine the functions for any wires that are not known, as just using...

• Getting Power to 12-Volt Accessory Pin on 7-Way Trailer Connector
  To get power to the pin in the 1:00 position of the # PK12703 7-way trailer connector, you'd run a length of 10 gauge wire # 10-1-1 which is sold by the foot from the terminal for the 1:00 pin on the 7-way to the positive battery terminal, via a # 9510 40 amp circuit breaker. You'd need two # DW05741-1 ring terminals to connect to the breaker and a # 44-5356A ring terminal to connect at the battery.

• Why Do Trailer Lights Flicker When Hitting Bumps
  In order to fix the issue with your lights flickering you will want to pick a good spot on the trailer frame near the coupler and then run a ground wire from each of the lights as well as the trailer connector to this point. If you need to extend the wires you can use part # DW02359-1 and part # DW05744-5. Once you find a good ground point, sand the surface down, twist the wires together after you have removed part of the jacket, and then attach it to the sanded surface with part # DW05741-1...

• Alternate Ways to Install a Ground Wire
  If you do not have the ability to install standard sheet metal screws, there are a couple things you can do. You can drill holes in the sheet metal for the bolts to go through. You would then use a lock washer and nut on the other side to secure everything. You could also weld the ground on, but this would not be the best solution as electronic components due end up needing to be replaced on occasion. The last option would be to run the ground wire to something that is already bolted...

• Repairing Ground Problem on Trailer With Tilting Bed
  You do indeed have a ground problem, but no worries-we can get you through this! A trailer with a tilting bed will typically use a bolt on each side as a pivot which allows the tilting portion of the trailer to move. When the trailer is new, the pivoting mechanism fits together tightly and everything works great. Over time, this connection gets a little loose, and doesn't provide a consistent ground connection. Since trailers use the frame as the ground circuit instead of a separate wire,...

• How To Connect A Front Clearance Light With Single Wire On a Motorhome With 2 Wire Connectors?
  It sounds like you are trying to replace a front clearance light on your 1996 Four Winds motorhome with a Optronics LED Clearance # MCL95AB which only has a single wire connection. This style of light uses the mounting bolt hole to act as the ground connection. But since your cap is going to be constructed of fiberglass you will need to use a Ring Terminal # DW05741-1 to connect the ground wire from your chassis. You might consider switching all your clearance lights to the Optronics LED...

• Brake Controller Power Wire Missing on 2009 GMC Sierra
  It is possible that the previous owner was not aware of the tow package wiring and connections that need to be made under the hood of your 2009 GMC Sierra. The tow package power wire under the dash essentially goes directly under the hood over by the power distribution box. If it is present then it might be there off to one side. If not then there is no reason why you can't run your own wire from the brake controller to the positive post that the factory wire would normally attach to....

• Parts Needed To Add Curt Echo Trailer Brake Controller To a 2022 Toyota RAV4 With Factory 4-Way
  As you already have the Curt Trailer Connector Adapter # C57672 to connect to the 4-way on your 2022 Toyota RAV4, the Curt Echo Wireless Trailer Brake Controller # C51180 only requires an additional charge line to be ran. For this you will need some 10 Gauge Wire # 10-1-1 to run to the battery. This wire is sold per foot so be sure to get enough for routing safely and away from rotating parts or exhaust to prevent damage to the wire. Cable Ties # DW05724-25 will work well to secure the...

• Recommended LED Light Bar for an Enclosed Snowmobile Trailer
  I can help you with lighting up your enclosed snowmobile trailer. I would recommend the Optronics Opti-Brite # ILL08COB. This light produces 1400 Lumens so it would be very bright. The dimensions of the lens of this light are 4 by 16-1/2 inches.

• Troubleshooting No Power on a 12v Power Pin on a 7-way Harness on a 2020 Ford F-350
  The first thing you need to do is check the appropriate fuses on your vehicle for a blown fuse on your 2020 Ford F-350 super duty. If everything looks good with the fuses, I recommend checking for shorts or fraying in the 12v wiring anywhere from the plug to where the harness connects to the front of the vehicle. This can be done at different points of the wiring with a circuit tester # PTW2993. It is also important to check and make sure the ground wires on your harness are mounted to...

• Does etrailer Axle Teknology 10-Inch Brake Assembly AKEBRK-35L Include Trailer Wiring
  The etrailer Axle Teknology 10-inch brake assembly # AKEBRK-35L and the matching right-hand unit # AKEBRK-35R come with two wire leads (from the brake magnet) that are just a few inches long. The actual 10-gauge wire you'll use to install the brakes, # 10-1-1, is offered by the foot. Either wire lead from each brake can be used for hot or ground since these are non-polarized.

• Troubleshooting Electric Trailer Jack Not Working With Jack It Bike Rack On Travel Trailer
  It sounds like your tongue jack is similar to our Electric Jack # EJ-3520-BBX in it only has one power wire coming from the motor and uses the mounting hardware to ground to the trailer frame. When you add the Jack-It 2 Bike Rack # LC429756 between the frame and the jack the layers of paint are eliminating the electrical connection to the frame. You can fix this by grinding the paint off the steel where the metal contacts metal and painting over that when everything is installed to give...

• Troubleshooting Lack of Power at 7-Way Plug on a 2021 Ford Explorer
  If you have the factory tow package on your 2021 Ford Explorer and a 7-way harness, you do not need to have the trailer connected to the plug in order for you to receive power on the 1 o'clock power pin. If you have the fuses already checked out and they are fully functional, the problem might be with the plug or the 12v power wire itself. To rule out the plug, I recommend making sure there is no corrosion or buiIdup in the plug itself. Any corrosion or buildup can cause a loss of signal....

• Troubleshooting Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Having 0.0 Output When Brake Pedal Is Pressed
  It sounds like there is a few different issues going on with the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 # 90195 in your vehicle. Starting with the output you should see output on the controller when you are applying the brakes on the vehicle. Since the output goes up with the manual override lever engaged it is likely that the red wire from the back of the controller is not corrected to the correct stop light switch wire. The red wire needs to connect to the cold side of the stop light switch that only...

  The cleanest way to install the # HM20048 would be to use a junction box like part # 38656. The junction box is weatherproof to protect the wiring connections from the elements. You'd also need some ring terminals, one 10 gauge # DW05741-1 and four 14 gauge, part # DW05702-1. I've linked you to a video showing the junction box being installed. The part # TL16RK is a submersible trailer wiring kit that would work well on your trailer as well.

• Troubleshooting Ground Wires Getting Hot On Tilting Snowmobile Trailer
  If the ground wires and pins are getting hot, it sounds like either they are not a ground or there is probably a short somewhere in the wiring you will need to find. First you want to check the trailer wiring to make sure the wire coming from the ground pin is attached to a clean bare metal surface. Check the vehicle plug with a circuit tester like part # PTW2993 and make sure it is not getting a feed from the vehicle. Check for corrosion on any of the pins and make sure there are no...

• Parts Needed To Install a Curt Echo Wireless Trailer Brake Controller on a 2017 Toyota Tacoma
  The Curt Echo # C51180 will require you to have the charge line circuit of your 7-way connected to power the Echo. We have actually designed a 7-Way RV Upgrade Kit # ETBC7L that is specifically designed for the Echo so that you will not need the wiring for a brake controller mounted in your cab.
