  • 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...

  • Installing an Inno Roof Rack on a 2007 Saturn Ion
  • The Inno Roof Rack with bar part # INB127 will install its clamps over the trim into the door of the vehicle. Your fit kit, part # INK124 will hook over your door frame and install the foot pack into the bases over the side of your roof's lip. I've included the illustrations from the instructions as a point of reference to how this should look installed. I've included an installation video for the 2017 Nissan Maxima so you can see an installation process on a similar 4 door sedan.

Return tie-down brackets and bolts to vehicle owner for reinstallation if hitch is removed. 1b.) If vehicle is not equipped...

  • 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.

  • Cargo Carrier and Hitch Bike Rack Solution
  • We have a solution that matches what you are looking for, but the Curt cargo carrier part # C18151 that you referenced does not have a hitch opening at the front of it for a bike rack to attach to. Instead you'd want the Hollywood Racks Cargo Carrier Bike Rack # HR1400Z-85 which comes with both a carrier and a bike rack. This can be used in three configurations. Bike rack only, cargo carrier only, and bike and cargo carrier.

  • How Do Michelin Wiper Blades Attach to J-Hook Style Wiper Arms
  • I have a very similar Michelin wiper on my car that uses the J-hook style of attachment and I remembered that I had a hard time getting them to install as it seemed like the J-hook was too big. I eventually figured it out though, the hook goes around the entire pivoting assembly. I went out and took a picture of how it looks installed on my car to help you visualize what I am trying to say.

  • How to Remove Rear Windsheild Wiper Blade on a 2008 Saturn Vue
  • I looked up some videos on line for replacing the rear windshield wiper of your Saturn Vue and found that to remove it from the big plastic housing you will basically just want to pull directly away from the housing. In other words you would pull the wiper away from you and towards the front of the vehicle. In the video it the owner had to pull pretty hard but it will come straight out. For a replacement rear blade you would want the part # RX30212.

  • Testing Tail Light Wires on a 2005 Saturn Vue Using a Multimeter to Install Trailer Wiring Harness
  • To test the tail light wires on your 2005 Saturn Vue using a multimeter you will first set the meter to read voltage. There should be several settings to test voltage but you want the lowest setting. Then you can either pierce the wires to test them or unplug the tail light and test the connector pins (if equipped). Have someone sit in the car and run through the light functions while you test the wires. The functions that power on should be near 12 volts and the others should not show...

  • The Curt Manufacturing Class I Trailer Hitch Receiver with Drawbar, item # 11114, for your 2008 Saturn Sky, will not void the vehicle warranty as long as all of the towing limitations of the vehicle and the hitch are closely adhered to. There is a federal law called the Magnusson-Moss Warranty Act, which states that unless the modification to your vehicle, in this case the hitch, caused the problem your warranty must be honored. This being said you will need to use common sense precautions...

  • How to Carry Womens or Step Through Bikes on a Hanging Bike Rack
  • The Swagman Trailhead # S63360 (And any hanging bike rack for that matter) will generally need a frame adapter bar for bikes that do not have a horizontal top cross tube like a traditional men's bike does. The same often goes for children's bikes. The Kuat Ubar Bike Frame Adapter Bar # UB01 is an adapter bar that will help you. It connects from the seat post to the handlebar stem to create that horizontal mounting point to carry bikes level on a hanging rack. Another option is a platform...

  • Roof Rack for 2008 Saturn Aura That Doesn't Require Drilling
  • It might be possible to bolt the feet kit part # RRRLT600 directly to a vehicle roof but since that's not how these were intended to be used it would not be my best recommendation. Your best option for a roof rack for your 2008 Saturn Aura would be the Inno part numbers # INB127, # INSUT, and # INK219 which attaches using door clamps instead. This gives you a very secure roof rack that does not modify the vehicle in any way. Drilling into the roof would pretty easily introduce leaks too.
