Trailer Hitch Installation - 2006 Dodge Stratus- Video
Today we are going to be installing Draw-Tite hitch part number 36301 on a 2006 Dodge Stratus. Okay, we are underneath the vehicle now. As you can see here on the passenger's side of the vehicle, we have the exhaust, which is going to need to be lowered. That is the first thing that we are going to need to do. And again with the bolts removed off of the bracket, I am going to go ahead and remove the rubber hangers off there as well. Before I remove the front hanger, I went ahead and added a tow strap to support the exhaust, because once we remove this front hanger the exhaust is going to come down quite a bit, and we do not want it to completely fall because it could damage the exhaust. And you can see with the exhaust down now, we are going to need to remove this bolt and then remove as the two as well from the driver's side, and then we can go ahead and put our hitch up into position. more

Installation: Hopkins Vehicle Wiring Converter with 4-Pole End on a 2006 Dodge Stratus- Video
Today we are going to be installing wiring harness part number 46155 from Hoppy on a 2006 Dodge Stratus. OK, we are inside the trunk area, and we are going to go ahead and locate the wiring on the Stratus that we are going to need to tap into with the converter kit. As you can see, we have got some interior covering that is actually covering up the wiring that we are going to need to locate. So the first thing we want to do is remove this rear threshold piece here. There are a few pop rivets that we are going to need to remove. And then, with removing those, we can pull that back and gain access to the wires here on the drivers side. As you can see, the main lead feeding to the passengers side is right here. We can tap into the right-turn signal from this location. The converter that we are going to be using as you can see has five wires to it. We have got the white, which is a ground. We have got a brown, which is the running light lead a yellow, which is the left turn the green, which is the right turn and the red, which is the stop lead. We are going to need to locate each individual function here on the wiring harness and manually attach these wires directly into them. more
