  • Trailer Wiring Harness Recommendation for a 2005 Saturn Vue
  • The recommended trailer wiring harnesses for your 2005 Saturn Vue are ones with converter boxes like the part # 118418. That being said our installer was able to find a way to wire in the part # 18002 to a 2004 Vue similar to yours. This isn't the ideal solution, but it would work if you used the install video as a guide. I attached install videos for both harnesses for you to check out.

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow 2007 Saturn Aura
  • According to the owner's manual, a 2007 Saturn Aura can be flat towed so long as the vehicle is facing forward and it is run for five minutes before being towed and during each RV fuel stop. You'll also need to pull fuse "IGN SENSOR" to prevent the Saturn's battery from draining. There are a number of parts you'll need in order to flat tow your Aura, starting with base plates. The Roadmaster EZ # 523145-1 are a confirmed fit, and I recommend using the Roadmaster Falcon 2 tow bar # RM-520...

  • Curt Venturer Brake Controller Troubleshooting on 2009 Saturn Outlook
  • It sounds like you might have an issue with your ground, or you may need to simply reset your brake controller now that it has been installed. Once you turn your vehicle on and the trailer isn't connected, there should be a red light that appears on the controller. To reset your brake controller, unplug the pigtail harness for about five minutes. After that, plug the harness back into the brake controller. If resetting the controller doesn't work, try grounding the controller to a different...

  • Trailer Hitch, Wiring and Brake Controller Recommendation for 2005 Saturn Vue
  • If the goal is to tow a trailer with your 2005 Saturn Vue I have a better setup for you to consider. For a trailer hitch the etrailer part # e98865 has great capacities and since it's a 2-inch hitch it will give you the best options for future accessories and ball mounts. For trailer wiring the Tekonsha brand is the most reliable so for your vehicle the best option would be the # 118418. From there you would need to convert the 4-way to a 7-way so that you can install the brake controller....

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow 2007 Saturn Aura XR
  • I was able to determine that your 2007 Saturn Aura XR is flat towable as long as you follow the outlined instructions in the owners manual. First thing you'll need is a base plate kit. For that you'd want the part # 523145-1. In addition to the base plates, you will also need a compatible tow bar, safety cables, lighting, and supplemental braking to flat tow your vehicle. The most popular compatible tow bar is the Falcon 2, # RM-520. For safety cables you can use # RM-643. The coiled design...

  • Troubleshooting 4-Pole Wiring Harness C56018 Turn Signals on 2004 Saturn Vue
  • Thank you for your purchase last year of a hitch, wiring harness # C56018 and other towing components for your 2004 Saturn Vue. I am happy to help you troubleshoot your trailer lighting issue. The first thing to check is the ground pin on each of the connectors at the tail lights. These are the plug contacts that lead to the white ground wires. Check both vehicle side and the harness side connectors looking for a discolored or bent electrical contact pin inside the plugs. The issue could...

  • Roof Rack Recommendation for a 2006 Saturn Vue with Factory Side Rails that Run Front to Back
  • In order to use the SportRack Vista XL Cargo Box - Roof Mount - 18 Cubic Feet, # SR7018, or any cargo box or cargo bag, you will need to at least have cross bars that run side to side on your Saturn Vue. If you can provide me with the year Saturn Vue you have, I will be able to find a roof rack that will allow you to use a cargo box.

  • Are the Trailer Hitches for the 2007 Saturn Sky Hidden From View
  • We actually do not have a hitch to fit your 2007 Saturn Sky at this time(October 2023). If you wanted to carry bike racks with your hitch, we instead have a trunk mounted bike rack that will work. You could go with the Malone Hanger Trunk Bike Rack for 3 Bikes - Adjustable Arms # MPG2139 which is confirmed to fit your Sky. I attahced a video review of this rack for you.

  • Are There Bearing Buddy Bearing Protector Grease Caps Compatible with Harbor Freight Utility Trailer
  • Harbor Freight trailers are unique. They don't have any industry standard parts on them, so replacement parts are very difficult to find. We don't have any grease caps that will fit your 2-inch hub. It may be possible to replace your hubs with a different one that will fit your spindle measurements, but you'd need to use a digital caliper to check the spindle at the bearing locations and the grease seal.

  • Which Is Better, Ball Mount Or Receiver Tube Style Tow Bar
  • I recommend using a direct receiver type of tow bar over a ball mount tow bar when flat towing. You can experiene a lot of rattling with a ball mount style tow bar # RM-501 and would have to have the ball mount tow bar exactly level. With a receiver hitch style tow bar you'll have three inches of give either higher or lower from level, as you can see in the attached picture. With the receiver style tow bars, like the # RM-522 I recommended before for your 2002 Saturn, you can install the...

  • Will a Hopkins Breakaway Switch Work with a BrakeBuddy Braking System
  • A breakaway switch is a very basic device so you can use switch # HM20010 with your braking system. But I recently learned that the BrakeBuddy switches use banana clips to connect to the BrakeBuddy itself. To use this switch you would need to obtain those clips from an electrical supply store. Likewise, the coiled cable, # RM-8603, can be used on any system that has a loop in the breakaway cable that it can attach to so it will work with # HM20010.

  • Replacement Tow Bar For Roadmaster Falcon 5250 With Bent Arms
  • Thank you for your photo Jim. It does look like the inner arms of your Falcon 5250 got bent somehow. I contacted Roadmaster and there are not replacement inner arms available for the Falcon 5250 anymore or a repair kit because it's an older bar. I recommend to replace the tow bar with a non-binding tow bar Roadmaster BlackHawk 2 All Terrain part # RM-422 which will allow you to hook up and unhook on unlevel ground without the arms binding like the Falcon 5250 did. The freedom latch on...

  • Maximum Speed When Using a 66 Inch Yakima Rack and Roll Trailer # Y08106
  • The Rack and Roll trailers, like the 66 inch long model # Y08106, are rated to tow at normal highway speeds. As always, exceeding posted speed limits is not recommended, especially when towing. You may want to consider a spare tire # Y08121 for the trailer, which includes a mounting kit to attach it to the frame. We also offer a kickstand, part # Y08115, for easier storage of the trailer. It may be a good idea to change out the factory shocks with a set of the Yakima replacement...

  • Troubleshooting Stuck Lock Cores on a Thule Raceway or OutWay Bike Rack
  • I spoke with my contact at Thule and she informed me of a couple possible solutions for you. But we before you attempt anything you should verify that the lock core of your rack has the same number etched into it as the number etched into the key. Once you have verified that the key number and lock core number are the same she recommended you try spraying a lubricant like WD40 into the key slot. You will want to have a straw on the lubricant, and you will want to pull back the flap that...
