This diode kit allows you to use your Saturn Vue's tail lights and wiring system while preventing feedback from your RV. This will provide the needed wiring solution to flat tow your Saturn that the Vue's taillights work in tandem with those of the RV.

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2002 Saturn L300 with Blue Ox Range Finder
  • I spoke with my contact at Blue Ox and he said the Rangefinder II BX4322 tow bar will not work with Blue Ox removable arm base plates like the # BX3314 for your 2004 Saturn L300 Series. The slot in the removable arm is not deep enough to connect to the Rangefinder II tow bar. You can use the Roadmaster EZ Base Plate Kit, part # 523114-1, on your Saturn along with the Blue Ox Rangefinder II to Roadmaster Bracket Adapter, part # RM-037, you have referenced. This setup will allow you to...

  • Weight Load Range for Roadmaster Cable Connector Set # RM-910022
  • I contacted the manufacturer to find out the load range for this product, part # RM-910022. It is specified for a 2000 pound snap rating. Please note that cable connectors of this type are designed and rated specifically for a horizontal line pull application (but not for hoisting or lifting). The capacities quoted by manufacturers are for this type of application only. I suggest you consider Hidden Hitch part # C82932, which also comes as a set of two. These half-inch Quick Links have...

  • How Do Michelin Wiper Blades Attach to J-Hook Style Wiper Arms
  • I have a very similar Michelin wiper on my car that uses the J-hook style of attachment and I remembered that I had a hard time getting them to install as it seemed like the J-hook was too big. I eventually figured it out though, the hook goes around the entire pivoting assembly. I went out and took a picture of how it looks installed on my car to help you visualize what I am trying to say.

  • Brake and Turn Signals Not Working on a Trailer Towed by a 2007 Saturn Outlook
  • Even if your 2007 Saturn Outlook has the same connector that goes with # 118384 it is possible that the connection on the vehicle is not fully functional. The vehicle would have to have come from the factory with a 7-Way trailer connector for # 118384 to work properly. What you need is the T1 harness, # 118434 that you referenced. This harness plugs in line with each of the tail lights and provides a 4-Way trailer connector. I have included a link to the installation details and a link...

  • How to Tell if 2006 Saturn Vue is Redline or Not for Picking Out Trailer Hitch
  • Redline is a trim package for the 2006 Saturn Vue. Most likely you would know if you had the Redline package, but if you need help determining if you do the easiest way to tell is to look at the exhaust pipe at the rear of the vehicle. If the rear bumper stops well above the exhaust tip you do not have the Redline, if the exhaust tip is basically molded into the rear fascia and has a cutout for it then you do have a Redline. The Draw Tite Hitch part # 36408 fits the non-Redline models...

  • Troubleshooting Blown Fuses When Trailer Wiring is Connected
  • Blown fuses from trailer wiring are due to either a short somewhere on the trailer wiring circuit or that the trailer is drawing too much amperage for the circuit. Since you said you installed LEDs it would seem unlikely that it's drawing too much. Make sure that the trailer side connector are clean and free of corrosion inside and out. The main connector grounds should be attached to clean and corrosion free bare metal surfaces. The light grounds should also be attached to clean and corrosion...

  • Replacement for Control Module 909513 on Kwikee Steps in 1994 Fleetwood Bounder
  • I reached out to the manufacturer who said that for steps that are made prior to 1999 they have to recommend replacing your steps entirely with a new unit. They said the Lippert Components Kwikee Control Unit # LC363989 may work but it is designed for control modules manufactured from 1999 through 2005 and would not be able to guarantee it will work as a replacement for your 909513 due to its age. I have added a link to our entire selection of electric steps for you should you decide...

  • Parts Needed to Tow a 2,200 lb GVWR Trailer with a 2009 Saturn Vue
  • Whenever you need specifications on your vehicle, especially when it comes to weight capacity, the best place to go is straight to the owner's manual. I looked up an online version of the manual for your 2009 Saturn Vue and found on page 4-37 that if you have a 2.4L engine then your max trailer weight is 1,500 lbs. If you have the 3.5L or 3.6L engine then your max trailer weight is 3,500 lbs. Since the GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating) of your River Rockwood Freedom 1640 looks to be...

  • What Roof Rack do You Recommend for My Bare-Roof 2006 Saturn Vue?
  • I have a great roof rack solution for your 2006 Saturn Vue. I went ahead and conducted further research on your vehicle through all of our roof rack manufacturers, and I confirmed that we do not carry traditional roof rack systems that will fit your bare roof on your vehicle. However, with that being said, a creative solution for your bare roof is the SeaSucker Monkey Bars Roof Rack - Vacuum Cup Mount - 48" Long # 298-SX6000B. The great thing about the Monkey Bars is that they involve...

  • Can Manual Crank Vents In Motorhome Be Converted To Powered Vents
  • In order to convert your manual operated vents in your motorhome, and the brackets and hardware that would allow you to convert their vents is very limited. We do not currently carry those parts in stock so I would need the make and model of your vents to try and locate parts that would work. You may be better off replacing a vent with a vent that has a motor already included like part # V2094SP-30. This is a 14-1/2 x 14-1/2 inch fan with a 12 V motor and white lid. The on/off switch...

  • Looking for a Trunk Mount Bike Rack on a 2008 Saturn Vue
  • There are a couple different reasons why trunk mounted bike racks are not recommended for your 2008 Saturn Vue. Most second generation Saturn Vues (2008 to 2010) have a small plastic trim piece or a plastic spoiler at the top of the rear hatch. The upper straps of trunk mounted bike racks attach to the top edge of the rear hatch and this plastic trim piece or spoiler is not designed to support the weight of the bike rack and bikes. The plastic could deform or break from the pressure. Another...

  • How many Tail Lights Can the Tow Ready T-One Harness for the 2007 Saturn Outlook Handle
  • The T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118434 you referenced draws power from the tail light circuit on your 2007 Saturn Outlook to power the tail lights of the trailer. So basically it comes down to what load your vehicle is capable of handling. You could check the tail light fuse of your vehicle to see what the amperage on the fuse is and subtract the amperage draw of your tail lights to see what you have left. If you have a basic trailer with the standard amount of clearance and tail lights...

  • Trunk Mount Bike Rack for a 2005 Saturn Ion with a Spoiler
  • For your 2005 Saturn Ion with rear spoiler I recommend the Hollywood Racks Express # HRE3. This rack is easy to use and lets you carry 1 or 2 or 3 bikes on your trunk up to 35 pounds each. I have linked a video review of this rack for you. If you will be carrying any bikes that do not have a top frame bar that goes straight across (like a typical men's bike would) then I recommend using bike adapter bar # HRBA-PRO. This will allow you to carry those bikes more level and will provide better...

  • Brake Controller Plug-in for a 2007 Saturn Vue
  • If you have a 2007 Saturn Vue, depending on which brake controller you're trying to install, you will need an adapter to be hardwired into your vehicle. This is because the Vue does not have a factory plug for a brake controller to plug into. For example, Curt controllers need adapter # C51515 for your vehicle. Tekonsha and Draw-Tite Controllers need adapter # 20127. If you let me know which brake controller you're trying to install, I can help you further. Also, keep in mind that in...
