  • 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....

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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...

  • 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.

  • 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...

  • Trailer Hitch and Wiring for a 2007 Saturn Vue
  • Actually, if you were to try to install Curt hitch # C19101 it would require a lot more work than the custom fit hitches for your 2007 Saturn Vue. You would have to access the metal bumper beam which would require removal of the rear fascia. Then once you get that removed it is possible, even likely, that the hitch will not fit. Installation of a custom hitch such as # 13591 is much easier as you can see in the video I have linked showing an example installation. I have also included a...

  • If there is a Short Circuit Will Curt Converter Box Blow or Just the Affected Circuit
  • Normally when there is a short circuit it will blow the converter box no matter what the brand is. But sometimes it will only affect the one function that shorted like what you have experienced. It could go either way but regardless of what does happen you would need to replace the converter to fix the issue. We do have the plug in style T-connector # 118418 that you can use instead of a hardwire harness if you hare interested. I have linked instructions and a video for you to view. You...

  • Recommended Equipment for Flat Towing 2007 Saturn Vue Behind a Motorhome
  • According to my research, the 2007 Saturn Vue is capable of being flat towed without modification, but I'd urge you to confirm that for yourself. From what I've read, it's not recommended to tow the vehicle above 65 mph, and there are specific steps mentioned in the owner's manual that need to be followed exactly. To flat tow the vehicle, you'll need a tow bar, base plates, safety cables, a wiring solution so the Vue's taillights work in tandem with those of the RV and a supplemental braking...

  • Recommended Flat Tow Setup For 2006 Saturn Vue

  • Can a 2008 Saturn Vue be Flat Towed and What Parts are Needed to do so
  • Whenever you hear conflicting stories about flat towing a vehicle it is always best to turn to the owner's manual as the manufacturer (in your case GM) will have the final say. I looked up an online version of the owner's manual for your 2008 Saturn Vue and it says on page 4-42 that both FWD and AWD can be flat towed. I recommend checking your copy of the owner's manual to verify this (it will be under Recreational or Dinghy Towing). For a complete flat towing setup you will need a base...

  • Replacement Hub Assemblies for Demco Kar Kaddy Tow Dolly
  • In order to select appropriate replacement hub assemblies you'll just need to match the part numbers or the characteristics of your hubs.

The linked article shows you how to determine your bolt pattern. The Demco website shows several models of their Kar Kaddy tow dolly but does not include...

  • Can Camco RV Portable Propane Campfire Attach Directly to RV Propane Source
  • The Camco RV Portable Propane Campfire # CAM58041 has a built-in regulator so it can connect directly to your RV's high-pressure propane feed. My contact at CAMCO confirmed this is the preferred installation method. It comes with an 8 foot hose for you to use to connect to your RV. The part # CAM59143 does come with fittings that would allow it to be compatible with the fire pit as well.
