You are correct that you can use a 2-to-3 converter, the Curt # C56196, to separate the combined circuits on your 2009 Chrysler Town and Country so your brake lights and turn signals will operate independently of one another.
In regards to Diodes # 48955, you should use them to prevent backfeeding. I have added links to video reviews of the converter and diodes for you to check out as well. view full answer...
Converters are required when a vehicle has what is called a 3-wire or separate lighting system. These systems will have turn signal circuits that are separate from the brake light circuits.
Trailers use a 2-wire or combined system meaning the brake lights and turn signals are on the same circuit.
A converter is needed to take the separate signals from the vehicle and combine them so that the trailer lights operating on a combined system will work properly. Wires and fuses connected directly... view full answer...
To find the correct reverse light wire on your 2006 Chrysler Town and Country you will have to test the wires using a circuit tester such as # PTW2993. The problem is that vehicle manufacturers could use any color wire at any given time on the assembly line if they run out of the regular color wire they use. This is because there isn't a standard wiring color code.
I would get access to the backs of the reverse lights and test the wires coming from the backs of the bulbs to ensure you... view full answer...
Powered trailer wiring harnesses like the Curt part # C56331 that you referenced have to have the battery wire run all the way to the positive post of the vehicle battery. The reason for this is so that the taillights of the trailer won't be putting any amperage draw on the delicate taillight wiring of the vehicle. All of the amperage would be drawn from the battery instead. If you were to power the unit from a 12 volt source like what you mentioned you would be defeating the circuit protection... view full answer...
In my research, the 2013 Chrysler Town and Country with a tow package does come with a wiring harness and should have a 7-way. To install the Dexter Predator # 58-8, you will need to run the wires from the brake controller to the 7-way connector on your vehicle.
You are also going to need Draw-Tite # 5506 which gives you the extra length you will need to hook up your brake controller to your 7-way connector.

The 2016 Chrysler Town and Country did not come with a factory installed tow package and a 7-way trailer connector. You will have to hardwire in a 7-way and the all the wiring so you can install your controller. None of the wiring is pre-installed on this model vehicle.
The first thing you will need to do is wire in a 4-way flat trailer plug if you have not already done so. You will need a wiring harness, I recommend the Curt T-One harness, # C56331. This harness is custom-fit to your... view full answer...
I think the easiest way for me to explain how a Curt Stabilizer Strap part # 18050 would install and be used would be to direct you to a demonstration video we have for this product. Check it out, basically you attach the strap to the cargo carrier or bike rack and then run it to the lip of the hatch or trunk and it helps brace the load when going over bumps. view full answer...
The cause of both turn signal lights flashing together would almost certainly be attributed to a poor ground. There are several grounds you will want to check which include one for each light, the trailer side trailer connector and the vehicle side trailer connector. One of these locations will more than likely contain the problem you are experiencing. It is important to make sure each ground is attached to a bare metal surface. It may be necessary to undo the ground wire and then use some... view full answer...

There will have to bee some cutting and splicing to install a brake controller on your 2013 Chrysler Town and Country. Chrysler did not add a factory brake controller harness to the Town and Country, so the brake controller will need to be hardwired. The good news is that you will likely only have to splice one wire into your vehicle wiring. To install a brake controller like the Curt TriFlex, # C24VV, that you referenced, you will want the Curt Universal Brake Controller Wiring Adapter,... view full answer...
You will have to make contact with the copper strands inside the wires using the pointy end of the included circuit tester. Also, make sure the tester is grounded to a clean and corrosion free bare metal surface when testing.
You may find that a different ground location will work better. It is sort of a trial and error process. If you are adding a brake controller and are testing for the correct brake switch wire to attach to the red brake controller wire then on your Chrysler T&C it... view full answer...
Because there is no industry standard for wiring colors you will need to test the wires behind the taillights to determine their functions on your 2005 Chrysler Town and Country. To test the wires, you will need a circuit tester, # PTW2993. Have someone sit in the van and go through the lighting functions (each turn signal, running lights, and brake lights) while you test with the circuit tester. That will tell you which wires do what.
Or you could install a T-connector harness that just... view full answer...
Actually, that is a typical installation for the wiring harnesses for a 2006 Chrysler T and C. Take a look at the video I have linked as reference. The weather stripping on the rear of the vehicle between the hatch and bumper protects the wiring from damage as long as it is not in the latching mechanism.
It is possible to route the wiring under the vehicle but you will most likely have to drill a hole. First you will need to remove the floor panels in the cargo area until you get to the... view full answer...
I have attached a snapshot from one of our help articles which will explain/illustrate the connections needed to install the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Trailer Brake Controller, # 90195, in your 2010 Chrysler Town and Country.
In addition to the controller you will also need a 20-Amp In-Line Circuit Breaker, # 9506P, Butt Connectors, # DW05745-5, Quick Splice Wire Connector, # SWC501915-1, and enough wire, # 10-2-1, to reach from the brake controller, through the firewall, and to the vehicle... view full answer...
You removed the correct bolts already, it looks like on your vehicle the bolts where regular hex bolts and not the Torx bolts. The next step is to gently pry the light assemblies rearward away from the vehicle being careful not to break the alignment tabs. view full answer...
Installing a transmission cooler is not very difficult and I have every confidence that you will be able to install the Derale Transmission Cooler, # D13611, on your 2007 Chrysler Town and Country. Make sure you have the necessary tools. Your mechanical skills should serve you well for this installation.
I can give you some installation tips. Transmission coolers are designed to be mounted flush against either the radiator or the AC condenser core. For maximum cooling ability, the heat... view full answer...
I attached a video from when we installed a Prodigy P3, part # 90195, in a 2015 Chrysler Town and County. Your P2, part # 90885, is the same process and it'll be the same on your 2016 as well. In the video we also use the # ETBC7 kit for the wiring.
You could have gotten our # ETBC7 kit which includes the 7-way adapter and all the wiring, connectors, and breakers you need but since you already have the Hopkins # HM47180 you can add our # 5506 kit for the rest of the parts. This will make... view full answer...
