• Installing Tekonsha T-One Harness on 2014 Buick Enclave without Tow Package
• The factory port to which the Tekonsha T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118270 connects is located around the area you mentioned looking (behind passenger side wheel well), but based on the picture you attached I think you may have found a different plug that's not used for this purpose. The correct plug is going to be pretty high up on the vehicle and it does take a good amount of reach to access it. I have attached an image of what the plug looks like (the picture is showing it with it...

• Installing Optronics Rectangular Trailer Clearance Side Marker Light # MC48RB
• The foam pad on the back of the Optronics Rectangular Trailer Clearance Light # MC48RB is designed to provide a tight seal and softer mounting surface when installing the assembly on the trailer. Unless you need to cover up any holes or space around the light, you do not need to use sealant or caulk. You will just need to screw in the light using the two surface mounts on the assembly. I have attached a short video demonstration that you can also check out.

• How Long Would Install of etrailer Hitch for 2023 Buick Enclave Take
• For most people the install of the etrailer hitch part # e56YR would probably take a couple hours to install.

I attached a link to the install instructions as well as a video of the install for you to check out as well.

• I checked with Tekonsha and they state that your 2019 Buick Enclave with the factory tow package (factory 7-way) can have a brake controller installed but there isn't factory wiring so you'll need to hardwire it to the vehicle. For that you would want to start with the Wiring Kit for 2 and 4 Brake Electric Brake Controllers # 5506. This will provide the power source and ground for the wiring for the brake controller. You will need to test the wires from the brake pedal switch of your...

• Installing a Brake Controller on a 2016 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter
• Whenever hardwiring a brake controller, like the Prodigy P2 # 90885, to a vehicle, like your 2016 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter, we always recommend using a circuit tested like part # PTW2992 to verify wire functions. The only time that this isn't necessary is if the wires on your Sprinter are already labeled.

• Can etrailer Tongue Weight Scale Be Calibrated
• I'm sorry to hear your scale is malfunctioning. The etrailer Tongue Weight Scale for Campers and Utility Trailers # e99044 does not have the ability to be calibrated. The scale typically stays calibrated so that isn't something that is necessary. However, we have run into manufacturer defects before which have caused it to be off. I wasn't able to find when you ordered it but if you contact our customer service department you can see if it is eligible for replacement.
