  • Installing Wiring in Chrysler Town and Country with Stow and Go Seats
  • To route the 4-way flat connector from the # 118300 Harness inside the car, so that it plugs into the 4-way flat connector beneath the car you will need to find a hole in the floor of the rear cargo area of your 2005 Chrysler Town and Country and route the 4-way out through the bottom. You may have to drill a hole if there is no access there, but there should be a rubber plug or grommet that would allow you to route the 4-way through the floor of the trunk. I attached an install video...

  • Torque Rating for Class III 75522 for 2004 Chrysler Pacifica
  • We don't publish the torque ratings for the fasteners, because the hitch manufacturers can change them. If you look at the bottom of page 2 of the instructions (see provided link), you'll see the torque rating for both the 1/2 inch and the M12 fasteners. The links pull the instructions directly from the manufacturer's websites, so they're always current. I'll also link you to an install video for the hitch. If you'll be using the hitch for towing, you might also be interested in the following...

  • What is Needed to Install Brake Controller in 2019 Chrysler Pacifica
  • Installing a brake controller in your 2019 Chrysler Pacifica is going to depend on if you have the factory 7-way or no factory trailer wiring at all. If you do have the factory 7-way you can install a brake controller with just the correct wiring adapter. For example, the Tekonsha PowerTrac # 39523 brake controller requires just the Plug-In Wiring Adapter # TK93VR. You will plug in one part of the adapter to the controller and the other part to the port underneath your dash for a simple...

  • Difference In Installation of Trailer Hitch Between Single and Dual Exhaust 2016 Chrysler 200
  • I took a look at the installation instructions of the Draw-Tite # 24919 hitch (which are also linked for you) and found the only difference when installing it in the single or dual exhaust models of a 2016 Chrysler 200 are that the single exhaust models require trimming of the underbody panel. Apart from that they are the same bolt-on installation and will not require any drilling in your Chrysler's frame.

  • Does Fascia of 2012 Town and Country Need to be Trimmed to Install Curt Trailer Hitch # 13364
  • I spoke to my contact at CURT who said some minor trimming of the fascia is required for the hitch installation on your 2012 Town and Country, otherwise the receiver will impinge on the bumper cover. The area that needs to be trimmed is 2-3/4 inch wide by 1/2 inch tall. I have included a diagram of the area that needs to be trimmed as well as a link to installation details. The Draw-Tite # 75579 is a Class III trailer hitch that will not require trimming. I have linked the instructions...

  • Does Trailer Wiring for 2012 Town and County Have to Run All The Way to Vehicle Battery
  • 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...

  • Does MagnaFlow Exhaust Restrict Air Flow on a 2014 Chrysler 300S V6
  • The MagnaFlow exhaust system # MF15119 for your 2014 Chrysler 300S V6 does not restrict exhaust flow. If you used the same configuration with the stock exhaust parts on the vehicle then that would restrict it some. But the MagnaFlow mufflers have no baffles, chambers or louvers and the pipes maintain the same diameter in the bends allowing the exhaust to flow more freely through the system.

  • What Gets Removed to Install Trailer Wiring Harness for a 2017 Chrysler Pacifica
  • I attached a couple pictures that I took from the install instructions for the trailer wiring harness part # 118712 that is confirmed as a fit for your 2017 Chrysler Pacifica. In the instructions a trim panel remover tool like part # ALL648544 is recommended. You will also need a Torx T27 socket wrench to remove the taillights. It's the underside body panel that actually gets removed and not any of the interior pieces.

  • Why Do I need a Stabilizer Strap to Use a 2 Bike Hitch Rack on a Curt # C11132 Hitch
  • The purpose of the stabilizer straps is to prevent the bouncing and jarring that bike racks usually experience when hitting bumps from damaging the hitch. The strap you would want is the Curt Bike Rack Strap, part # 18050. The reason you want to use a stabilizer strap is that you might twist your the hitch up or damage the frame of your 2001 Chrysler PT Cruiser. If you use the stabilizer strap you would have no problem carrying two bikes on a hitch mounted bike carrier. For a bike rack...

  • Locating Reverse Circuit for a Peak Wireless Backup Camera on a 2007 Chrysler Aspen
  • The only way to be sure which wire is the reverse light circuit is to test the wires with a circuit tester like part # 3808. Pull the tail light of, and have someone in the cab with the foot brake and emergency brake on, find the two wires that are hot. One will be the brake light the other, the reverse light. Put the car back into park and have someone depress the foot brake so you can determine which wire was brake and which was reverse.

  • Will Wiring Harness # C56331 Work with Power Lead Disconnected or Damaged?
  • The Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # C56331 will not function without the power lead. It may function with a slightly damaged power lead, so I recommend using a tester like # I26 to test your wiring functions and simply visually inspect your power wire to your battery.

  • Can Wiring Harness be Grounded in Way Other Than Directed
  • You should only ground the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # C56331 as directed by the manufacturer. That means when installing it you have to ground it to the vehicle frame and ensure it is free of any type of dirt, paint or corrosion. Failing to do this can result in all types of funky issues; problems with a poor ground are the leading cause of harness issues and you are definitely going to want to follow the manufacturer's directions as closely...

  • Curt Class II Hitch and Trailer Wiring that Fit 2012 Chrysler Town and Country
  • The correct Curt Class II hitch that fits your 2012 Chrysler Town and Country Touring with a 3.6 liter engine is the part # C12264. There isn't any frame modification required to install this hitch on your vehicle. Then for trailer wiring the Curt kit part # C56331 installs the easiest and has the most reliable converter box so it is what I would recommend. It installs by plugging inline with the taillight connectors at the rear of the vehicle and does not require any cutting or splicing. I...

  • Things to be Aware of When Charging a Battery from an Alternator
  • The biggest thing to be aware of is that your alternator will more or less provide just a maintenance charge for your batteries. If you don't have anything drawing power it may (very slowly) charge your batteries but the best way to keep your batteries charged is by using a charger like part # CTEK56353 when you have access to AC power. The next best thing is for you to use the Redarc In-Vehicle BCDC Battery Charger # 331-BCDC1240D along with a solar panel like part # 34273836. Again,...

  • Is Bumper Trimming Required to Install a Trailer Hitch on a 2016 Chrysler Town and Country
  • Based on an installation we did of Curt hitch # 13364 on a 2016 Chrysler Town and Country you will not have to trim the rear fascia to install the hitch. However, it may press up some on the bottom of the fascia directly above the receiver. I have included a link to a video showing installation on a 2016 model for you. When installed the hitch measures approximately 13-1/4 inches for the ground to the top of the receiver opening. If measuring to the bottom of the receiver it would be approximately...
