Video Transcript for Performance Tool Wiring - Tools for Wiring - PTW2991 Review

Today we're going to be taking a look at the performance tool computer safe logistic probe. It's going to feature a computer safe design drawing less then 7 mil amps. It will test high and low voltages on all vehicle circuits including computerized engine and body controls. It's going to feature a bright red and green LED. It's going to interpret voltage signals such as ground, power, and frequency. This system is designed to work on 6, 12, and 24 volt systems.

The test probe, that's this portion right here, that's going to measure pretty close to 3 and 3/16 of an inch, right around that area, 3 and 1/8. It's also going to come with your heavy gauge color coded battery clips. A really nice design, easy grip design on those. When the coiled cable or cord is fully stretched out it's going to be able to reach up to 10 feet. When you're ready to use or connect the probe what you'll need to do is you'll need to connect the probe clips to the vehicle's battery. The red clip, again, it's color coded so that's going to go to the positive terminal.

The black clip goes to the negative terminal. You'll need to turn the power on to the component or circuit being tested. Keep in mind the ignition may need to be in on or accessory position. In some cases the engine may need to be running. All you have to do is touch the components circuit wire with the probe's tip.

The LED will glow red if positive source is probed, or green if a negative source is probed. That tip right here, it's going to measure about 3 and 3/16 of an inch long and it's insulated. If the LED does not glow at all the probe may not be making contact with the wire. The wire or the component maybe faulty. Power may not be reaching the circuit or the circuit may not be properly grounded. That's going to do it for today's look at the performance tool computer safe logistic probe.

  • How to Determine Wire Harness Functions for Brake Controller Wiring on a 2017 Nissan Armada
    I can help you determine what wire on your harness is for which function, but unfortunately we don't know what color wire holds what function on your 2017 Nissan Armada. What you will need to do is use a circuit tester like part # PTW2991 and test your wiring harness. You will be able to find 2 of the functions easily. One will have constant power and one will only have power when you press your brake pedal. This leaves you with the ground wire and the wire that sends power to your trailer...

  • P3 Trailer Brake Controller Shows Trailer Connected with No Trailer and Voltage When Moved
    First, if the controller thinks a trailer is connected that is usually because there is something drawing power on the blue wire. To test this, sever the blue wire a few inches from the back of the controller. Then use a circuit tester such as # PTW2991 to test the end of the blue wire coming out of the controller. It should only show power when the manual override is pressed. If it shows power at any other time then there is something wrong inside the controller and it will need to be...

  • Troubleshooting No Power on 12V Pin for a 2008 Nissan Frontier
    The easiest way to determine if a relay is bad is to swap it with a relay that you know is working and see if that fixes the problem. If it is the relay then you will simply need to replace the brown relay that you mentioned like what comes in the Kit # C57000. The only other thing I can think is that the power wire itself is damaged somewhere. I tried looking up your order but I couldn't find anything. If you can let me know what your order number is or the email address you used to place...

  • Parts Needed to Install Brake Controller and Wiring on a 2017 Chevy Express 3500 Van
    I will be happy to help you find all of the parts you need to tow your trailer with brakes using your 2017 Chevy Express 3500 Van! To install a fully functional 7-Way connector, and ultimately a brake controller, on your Express Van you will need 4-Way wiring that carries the basic trailer light functions and the Universal Wiring Kit # ETBC7. For the basic light functions I recommend going with the T-One # 118392 which simply plugs in behind your tail lights (see attached installation...

  • Redarc Brake controller RED44FR
    It is possible to install the Redarc Tow-Pro # RED44FR into virtually every vehicle but will depend on the experience that the installer has. Most RV dealerships only like to go the Plug and Play route, which your 2016 Volvo XC90 does not offer. The Brake Controller is looking for 4 wire connections. A constant 12v power, a 12V ground, a brake switch power(the wire that only shows power when pedal is pressed) and an output to the trailer 7-way. If this is something that you want to attempt...

  • Blinkers on Travel Trailer Not Bright When Running Lights Are On
    I would first ensure that the connections are correct in your wiring. If your running lights and turn signals/ brake are reversed this could cause the issue that you are having. The black wire on the Taillight # STL68RB should connect to your running lights on the trailer, this is usually the brown wire. The red wire from the taillights connects to the turn/brake wire which are generally yellow and green on the trailer. If that is right next I would check the ground connections as they...

  • Troubleshooting Taillights for Trailer Wiring on 2012 Volkswagen Touareg
    I have attached the installation instructions for # 118668 below. I do recommend using a Circuit Tester # PTW2991 for testing your connections. This will help ensure your ground connectors are working properly as well. I do not see a black wire with green tracer coming out of the black box. The black wire is the 12V constant power. Your output wires are green for right turn/brake, yellow for left turn/brake, brown for running lights and white is ground. I hope this will help you identify...

  • 5TH Wheel RV Breakaway Switched Removed During Storage Testing for Damage
    I would start with reinserting the Breakaway Cable Plunger # FA80-01-2206. Your breakaway box uses power from your battery on the 2018 Keystone Montana 3791RD 5th Wheel. You will want to ensure the battery wasn't completely drained during this time. If dead be sure to recharge the battery. The brakes should unlock but it may require you to backup to unlock them. If they are still locked and won't unlock you will have to find out if they are being held on by a faulty break away or by bad...

  • Troubleshooting HydraStar Electric Over Hydraulic Trailer Brakes
    The first step is to ensure that your brake controller is compatible with the HydraStar Vented Marine Electric Over Hydraulic Actuator for Disc Brakes # HS381-8067. I recommend contacting HydraStar directly for compatibility details. If your controller is compatible I would inspect the wiring on the HydraStar unit. There are 4 wires coming out of the unit. White is the 12V ground wire, Black is 12V Positive, Blue goes to 7-way and receives power from the brake controller when pedal is...

  • Trailer Brake Controller Not Working on 2018 Chevrolet Suburban
    On your 2018 Chevrolet Suburban if you are using the Tekonsha Plug-In Wiring Adapter # 3016 with your Tekonsha Prodigy P3 # 90195 there is no other connection required. You can check to make sure the fuse # 36 is still in place on your engine compartment fuse block. Be sure to check the fuse to ensure it is not damaged and it is the correct amperage required. A Circuit Tester # PTW2991 can be utilized to ensure that you are getting power at the brake controller wires to determine if...

  • Trailer Lights Not Working With 2012 Ford F-250
    I would start by using a Circuit Tester # PTW2991 to test your connection at the truck (4-way or 7-way). This will help you to determine where to begin looking. If you are not getting any lights at the connector, I would first follow the connection and look for damaged wiring or a connection that came undone. If still nothing check your fuses and relays on your 2012 Ford F-250. There are quite a lot of them that are tied into the towing circuits. In the engine compartment fuses 22, 26,...

  • Troubleshooting Draw-Tite Activator II Brake Controller
    The troubleshooting guide for the (discontinued) Draw-Tite Activator II 5500 is actually the same as the Draw-Tite Activator IV # 5504. The instructions (with the troubleshooting guide) for the Activator IV are linked for you to reference but I have also clipped the guide for the Activator II that you can check out. I'm pretty sure the So code you are talking about is either the Sync display meaning that the Sync Control has been moved or the 2.0 display meaning that you are having connection...

  • Installing Roadmaster Flexo-Coil Wiring on a 2019 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon JL
    According to my research you can use the Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit # RM-15267 for your 2019 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon but I don't believe you will connect to the same color wires as shown in the linked video for this kit on a 2017 Wrangler Unlimited. From what I could find I believe that the running light should be a white and gray wire on your driver's side but a white and orange wire on the passenger side. The stop/turn signals should be found on the yellow wire for the driver's side and the...

  • Trailer Harness on 1999 Toyota 4Runner Does Not Work
    Since this is the first time you have used the connector on your 4Runner, if it has been awhile since it was installed or if it is factory then there can be some corrosion build up inside the connector preventing it from working. This happened to a friend of mine recently. Scraping out the corrosion will help. Also make sure the main ground is connected to a clean and corrosion free bare metal surface. If that does not help then use a circuit tester such as # PTW2991 to test the vehicle...

  • Trailer LED Tail Light Stopped Working on Right Side
    It sounds like you are missing that 1 connection on the trailer tail light. Typically, a trailer tail light will have 2 or 3 wires. If it has 3 wires then there will be a ground wire (attached to the frame) a wire for brake lights and turn signal (these are the same wire) and a third wire for the running lights. You can use a circuit tester such as # PTW2991 to test the black wire to see which functions it is carrying. Have someone run through the lighting functions in the tow vehicle...

  • 2017 Chevy Traverse Troubleshooting No Power for T-One Trailer Wiring
    The T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118271 does come with all of the fuses and relays for your 2017 Chevy Traverse, but if all of those look good I'm wondering if the issue is on your vehicle side. It's definitely possible that it could be the T-One wiring but I recommend using a circuit tester like part # PTW2991 to see if the locations for the fuses are actually passing the power for the circuit. If nothing is happening at the fuse/relay positions then you'll need to take your Traverse...

  • Troubleshooting 7-Way Connector Not Working on a 2000 Chevy Silverado 1500
    If your trailer is working properly with other vehicles then the problem is definitely on your 2000 Chevy Silverado 1500. The fuse that you referenced I believe is for the 12V power but I could be mistaken. I tried looking up the online owner's manual but it didn't really identify the various fuses with numbers. With that being said, the best place to start is right at the 7-Way connector on your Chevy. Using a circuit tester like part # PTW2991 or a multimeter like part # PTW1714 check...

  • Fuse Location for 7-Way 12V Power Pin on a 2010 Ford F-250
    Check fuse 44 in the fuse block under the hood of your 2010 Ford F-250 as well as the relay in position 56. According to the online version of your owner's manual these are also related to the 12V power pin on your F-250. If those look good then the next thing you can do is use a circuit tester with a probe like part # PTW2991 and check the 12V wire from your 7-Way to your battery. Replace any pieces that are damaged or pinched with 10 Gauge Wire # 10-1-1.

  • Troubleshooting Jensen RV Stereo JWM60A That Will Not Turn On
    If your Jensen RV Stereo # JWM60A will not turn on, it's going to be either because it's not getting power, it's not grounded properly, or the fuse is blown. Since you already tried resetting the unit, we'll start by checking the 10 amp fuse on the back of the unit and replace if necessary. Failing to disconnect the battery prior to installing the unit, as recommended by the user manual, could have caused a short, resulting in a blown fuse. Next, with the vehicle battery re-connected,...

  • Troubleshooting Flickering Passenger Side Brake Light On A 2017 Ford Explorer
    Hey Tim, I am happy to try to help you get to the bottom of it. While there are a few things that could cause the brake light to flicker, the most common cause is a short somewhere on the brake light circuit. Since the diodes were replaced and it did not fix the problem, a short would explain the issue. Your best bet would be for you (or your mechanic) to inspect the diode wiring harness, as well as the vehicles tail light circuits and look for any frayed or damaged wire that could be causing...

  • Troubleshooting Danger Notification and No LED Light on Curt Echo Brake Controller
    Sine the LED does not light up on your Curt Echo # C51180, that means there's no power getting through to it. Given the fact that the Echo was receiving power and working properly at one point, chances are you're dealing with a poor ground issue. I would start by checking the power and ground circuits on your Ram's trailer wiring. These will be on the 1 o'clock and 7 o'clock positions, as shown in the attached diagram. You can use a 12V probe-style circuit tester, like # PTW2991 to check...

  • Troubleshooting Trailer Disconnected Code for Integrated Brake Controller on a 2017 Ford F-350
    What you need to do is test the 7-Way connector both on your 2017 Ford F-350 and your trailer. Since your F-350 is new I doubt that it is on the vehicle side but you can use a circuit tester like part # PTW2991 and the attached picture of a vehicle 7-Way to make sure that all of the functions are operating properly. To test the 7-Way on your trailer simply take a 12V battery and ground the negative terminal while using the positive terminal to apply power to each pin on the 7-Way. If one...

  • Troubleshooting Trailer Wiring for Fleetwood Pop-Up Trailer and 2003 Mazda B3000 Pickup
    A potential cause for your issue is a weak ground connection. Trace the white ground wire from your 4-pole back to where it attaches to the vehicle frame. This ground must be secured to a clean and rust-free spot on the frame. If necessary sand off the rust/dirt from that grounding point and reattach the white ground wire or relocate it a new spot. If this does not correct the problem then I suggest you next test your existing 4-pole trailer connector on your Mazda to confirm it is functioning....
