In regards to trailer hitch vibrations like with the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 76182 on a 2017 Subaru Forester, we typically recommend bending the hangers for the exhaust away from the hitch slightly which in most cases, gets rid of the rattle. I have attached for you below a help article we did to help others with the same issue. If this does not fix the problem, you could possibly use some rubber hose split in half to place on the bottom of the hitch flange to... view full answer...
The inline fuse of the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness # C56040 is for the amperage draw of the converter box. When you have the headlights on and press the brake pedal you essentially are asking the box to draw the maximum amount of amperage it will ever draw since basically you'll be lighting up every light on the trailer. So what's most likely happening is that your trailer is drawing too much power for the wiring harness.
This isn't uncommon and is most likely true if your... view full answer...
What you describe is a classic symptom of a poor ground connection. Everything works fine, until the vehicle headlights or running lights are switched on. When this happens, the maximum amperage load is being drawn which is when a ground problem rears its ugly head.
You'll want to check the ground connection for the trailer connector on the tow vehicle, the main ground on the trailer tongue and the ground connection for each of the trailer taillights. Make sure the ground connection is... view full answer...
I believe that the Redarc Liberty Brake Controller # RED24FR is hooked up correctly to your 2017 Subaru Outback. The blue light flashing when you push the override button is telling you that a trailer is not connected. Also remember that with this brake controller being proportional it will want to see the brake light but also feel the inertia of the vehicle stopping. view full answer...
Any time there is a problem with a brake controller when using the brake pedal the first thing to check is the connection on the red brake controller wire. It has to be connected to a brake switch wire that only has power when the brake pedal is pressed and not at any other time (such as with the head lights or turn signals). On your vehicle it is likely a brown wire with a white stripe.
There could also be a wire that is related to the ABS (anti-lock braking system) and that might be... view full answer...
What you are describing sounds like the 15A circuit breaker that comes with the Charge Line Kit # RM-156-25 is shot. This can easily be replaced with another circuit breaker like the 20A # 9506P but since your kit is only a year old it would be good to check your wiring as well as these shouldn't go out that quick.
Check to make sure that all of the wiring looks good and it isn't exposed. If you do see that some of the wiring is damaged or exposed and you need replacement wire then we... view full answer...
For the Curt Echo # C51180 on your Android Phone you will need to ensure that Bluetooth is on.

Go to your phone settings and look for the applications category, then select the Curt app. Under the Curt app you will see a tab for permissions. You will need to allow all the permissions to ensure the app is allowed to use the functions it needs to properly function on your... view full answer...
The manufacturer does show the Konig Premium Self-Tensioning Snow Tire Chains, # th02230k45 to be a confirmed fit for the 2019 Subaru Forester equipped with 225/55-18 tires although you may need to remove a link for custom fitment. Please note the linked product installation video walking through the needed steps and verify that you have the needed count of links. view full answer...
It does sound like there is a short or other problem inside the converter box of Curt trailer wiring harness # C56040. The only fix is to replace the harness with a new one on your 2013 Subaru Outback. I recommend the Tow Ready harness # 118467 because we hear about less issues with them. I have included a link to a video showing an example installation. view full answer...
Thank you for your purchase of towing components for your 2008 Subaru Outback Wagon including Curt wiring harness # C55370.
The yellow wire on this 4-pole harness carries both turn and brake light signals for the left-side light. Since your harness' left side output is always solid (it does not blink) then this suggests that the harness is damaged.
Please note that we do offer a custom-fit harness for the 2008 Outback Wagon (as long as it is not the Sport edition), part # 118461 from... view full answer...
Before you replace the OEM harness on your Forester you may want to check a few things. First, check the fuse for the trailer connector in the passenger compartment fuse panel. From my research the trailer connector fuse is in the number 1 slot. You may find that you have a blown fuse and that is why the harnesses you have installed do not work.
If the fuses all check out okay, I recommend using a circuit tester like part # 40376 and have someone run through the functions while you test... view full answer...
Sorry to hear about the troubles you're having with the 7-Way RV Upgrade Kit for Trailer Brake Controller Installation # ETBC7L on your 2022 Subaru Outack Wagon.
Apart from checking for blown fuses, the only other thing you'll want to verify is, that your grounds are secured properly to a clean, bare metal surface.
You'll also want to verify that your trailer connectors as well as your grounds are clean and free of rust and corrosion.
If you're still having issues after checking, let... view full answer...
The shape of a roof basket like the XTray, part # RMCB01 can make it very loud when travelling, but there are a few things you can do to help it be a little quieter as you're travelling.
The first option is to simply remove the roof basket and store it when not in use. This will save the basket from any unnessary damage, but risks it not being available when you want it, or having the style you want for your vehicle.
The next option is to replace your vortex strips, part # RRM626 .... view full answer...
When you install a hitch on a vehicle you end up bracing the rear chassis of the vehicle as the hitch attaches to both side of the frame and provides basically like a cross-bracing. What that can end up doing is causing the vehicle to have a stiffer feel to it. When torqueing the hitch down it can also cause the frame to position in a slightly different manner which can cause different interior or exterior parts to contact in a different way.
Basically what I am trying to say is that the... view full answer...
There are two things that may help to solve your predicament.
The easier one is the converter. The converter that you used, part # 118158, is not compatible with LED lights. So, even if the wires all lined up where they needed to go, it wouldn't have worked anyway. We don't currently carry a 2-to-3 converter compatible with LEDs.
As for the wiring, that's a little harder to figure out. From what I can tell, you might be using a wishbone 4-way harness on your trailer. These differ from... view full answer...
It sounds like there may be a damaged or missing fuse on your 2020 Subaru Ascent. I recommend checking your fuse panel for any damaged or missing fuses that are identified as trailer or turn signal fuses. You can also test the wiring going into the powered module for signal with a Circuit Tester # PTW2993. This will help you to determine if the module on the Tekonsha OEM Replacement Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118290 is faulty or if you are not getting the signal from the Ascent that tells... view full answer...
We do have water inlet fittings, like the Valterra Water Inlet for RVs # A01-0176LFVP, that would replace the entry fitting on the outside of your pop up camper if you decide to replace that fitting.
To replace the water lines inside/under your camper, typically PEX pipes and fittings are used to make those connections. We do not have these available for purchase, but they are usually available at your local hardware store. view full answer...
We offer different wiring harnesses for the 2015 Subaru Impreza depending on whether it is the sedan or the 5-door wagon. The sedan uses part # 118581 and the 5-door wagon use the item you referenced, part # 118573. Both install in the same way, by plugging in at the taillight connectors behind the car's rear lights.
The same circuit handles both the car headlights and the taillights. Odds are that either there is now a blown headlight fuse that needs to be replaced or that there is a... view full answer...
I tend to think it's a ground issue or potential short on your vehicle side wiring. Make sure that the vehicle side and trailer side connectors are clean and free of corrosion inside and out. The main connector ground should be attached to clean and corrosion free bare metal surfaces. Also, I would check the grounds for each of your tail lights. If the trailer has an aluminum frame, tilt bed, or folding tongue, any of these things can interrupt the ground. Running jumper wires from the... view full answer...
The Curt Auxiliary LED Indicator Lights # C53201 being an LED kit has very little power draw so even a slight connection issue can drastically impact function. I recommend cleaning each connection with sand paper and then using dielectric grease # 11755 to make sure the connections keep moisture and corrosion out.
if that doesn't solve the issue with function, then next step for LED lights is to add load resistors like # DI34ZR for the functions. This will create a draw like a light... view full answer...
