  • How Does Breakaway Switch Connect to Brake Buddy Classic 3 Braking System
  • It sounds like you are asking about connecting the breakaway switch of the Brake Buddy Classic 3 Portable Supplemental Braking System # HM39494. I cut out some pages from the instruction manual for you to check out, but what you'll do is actually connect the brown and red wires from the Dash Mount Connector directly to the breakaway switch itself. The Dash Mount Connector is plugged into the harness that is connected to the Brake Buddy which is how the breakaway system will operate if...

  • Recommended Hitch Adapter to Expand Trailer Hitch Receiver on 2015 Dodge Dart
  • We do offer various hitch adapters that can turn the 1-1/4 inch receiver on your 2015 Dodge Dart into a 2 inch opening. For example, the Brophy # HTAD will insert into the receiver opening and provide the larger 2 inch opening needed for a lot of hitch-mounted accessories. An important factor to keep in mind is that that the use of any hitch adapter will reduce its tongue weight capacity by 50%. For example, if your the trailer hitch on your Dodge Dart has a 200 pound weight capacity, this...

  • Trunk Mounted Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2013 Dodge Dart
  • For a trunk mounted bike rack that has been confirmed as a fit for your 2013 Dodge Dart and is specifically designed to fit over spoilers you would want the Hollywood Racks Over the Top part # HRF2-3. I attached a review video for you to check out as well. If you plan on carrying any womens or alternative framed bikes without horizontal top tubes you may also be interested in purchasing a Swagman Easy-Out Women's and Alternative Frame Bike Adapter # 64005 to provide a horizontal top tube...

  • How to Find a Brake Light Only Circuit on a Vehicle for Wiring Up Third Brake Light
  • The # C56179 is for installing trailer wiring on a vehicle so it would not be the correct kit for you. The easiest way to find a brake light only circuit on your vehicle would be to either tap into the circuit that runs to your current third brake light, or use a taillight converter like part # 118158. You would run the input side to the stop/turn circuits of your vehicle like the box is labeled, and then on the output side the red wire would be a dedicated brake light signal.

  • What Small Trailer do You Recommend for My 2015 Dodge Dart?
  • According to the stats I found on your 2015 Dodge Dart, it is only rated to tow up to 1,000 pounds. We do have a utility trailer that weighs only 305 pounds. That is the Detail K2 Mighty Multi Utility Trailer - 6' Long # K2MMT4X6. We also have the heavier/larger Detail K2 Mighty Multi A-Frame Utility Trailer - 7-1/2' Long # K2MMT5X7 (451 pounds). However, given these two trailers, I recommend the # K2MMT4X6 because the tailgate can be used as a ramp and it weighs less. If you need wiring,...

  • Determining if 2013 Dodge Dart Can Tow Motorcycle Trailer
  • The most important thing to note when determining how heavy a trailer your Dodge Dart can tow is that you will always be limited by your weakest component. This means that if the Draw-Tite Class I Hitch # 24890 features a 2,000 pound towing weight capacity but your vehicle has a 1,000 pound towing limit, you will need to stay under the vehicle's lower 1,000 pound capacity. I did take a look at the online owner's manual for your 2013 Dodge Dart and verified that it does list a 1,000 pound...

  • Will Curt Trailer Hitch C11281 Fit a 2015 Dodge Dart GT
  • I checked with Curt and trailer hitch # C11281 fits all styles of the 2015 Dodge Dart including the GT. If you want to use the hitch for an accessory such as a bike rack or cargo carrier, then you have to make sure the accessory is rated for use with a Class I trailer hitch. Also, with a bike rack, you are limited to 2 bikes maximum on a Class I hitch. I have included some links to the Class I compatible bike racks and cargo carriers for you.

  • Why Can the Kuat Transfer V2 Carry a Heavier Bike Than the V1
  • It sounds like you have the Kuat Transfer V1. If that is the case, the weight capacity is actually 40lbs. instead of 45lbs. This would not be adequate for using your 50lb. e-bike. You would need to upgrade to the Kuat Transfer V2 Bike Rack # KU64FR, which can hold a bike weighing up to 60lbs. The main difference that allows the V2 to carry a heavier bike than the V1 is the shank and adapter. The V2 has an upgraded/bulked up shank and better 1-1/4"-2" adapter than the V1. This is what allows...

  • Ca I Tow my 2015 Dodge Dart on a Dolley?
  • That's a great question! I've done some research and using the Roadmaster Tow Dolly with Self-Steering Wheels and Electric Brakes - 4,380 lbs part # RM-2050-1 with your 2015 Dodge Dart is not recommended. It isn't that it will cause any mechanical issues with the Dart if it is front wheel drive only but there is a concern of damaging the underbody of the vehicle. Here is some information I found on it. "Due to the low ride height (reduced ground clearance) of this vehicle, vehicle damage...

  • Troubleshooting Draw-Tite 18004 on 2014 Dodge Dart Where All Lights Go Out When Brakes Applied
  • This is likely just a simple grounding issue because when trailer lighting does not have a sufficient ground many different scenarios can show up- the most common is when the most amperage is applied, like tail lights on and brake pedal pressed, the lights go out. I recommend that you start by checking the ground on both the vehicle's wiring harness and the trailer's. Make sure that they are firmly connected to a paint, debris and rust free surface on the vehicle and the trailer's frame....

  • Will Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Roof Rack Installed on 2016 Dodge Dart Accommodate RR576 Ski Carrier
  • The Rhino-Rack # RR576 Ski/Snowboard Carrier needs right at 30 inches of uninterrupted crossbar space, and when installed on your 2016 Dodge Dart, the Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero roof rack will have plenty of width on the crossbars to accommodate the # RR576 Ski/Board Carrier. The Vortex Aero roof rack would consist of these parts: • 49 Inch Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars, part # RRVA126B-2 • Roof Rack Feet, part # RRRLKVA • Vehicle Specific Clamp Kit, part # DK402 I've linked to some product...

  • For your 2015 Dodge Dart with a naked roof the Rhino Rack roof rack part numbers # RRVA126B-2, # RRRLKVA and # DK402 is a confirmed fit and will work well. I really like the Rhino Rack roof racks as they are considerably cheaper than the high end racks but the quality is right on par with them.

  • Ball Mount for Trailer Hitch 24890 on a 2015 Dodge Dart Towing Detail K2 Trailer K2MMT4X6
  • When we installed Draw-Tite trailer hitch # 24890 on a 2015 Dodge Dart the distance from the ground to the top of the receiver opening was 9-1/2 inches, see video link. That means you will need a ball mount with a rise of 6-1/2 inches to get to a height of 16 inches. We can get you close with ball mount # 36065 which has a 5 inch rise. For a compatible ball use # 19258.

  • How to Determine Clearance for Gooseneck Hitch on 2016 Dodge Ram 2500
  • You need to use the following calculation to find if you have enough clearance: (A + B) - C = Clearance A = Distance from the gooseneck ball to the truck cab B = Offset used C = Width of the nose of the trailer divided by 2. So your A is 35" and C is 48" which means right now Clearance = -13". You really want A to be 4" more than C so in this case you need a 17" offset. Even if you combine an offset ball with an offset adapter you aren't going to be able to get to 17" or even 13". The...
