- Troubleshooting An Autowbrake Electric Brake Controller That's Activating On Turn Signals
- Since the Autowbrake Electric Brake Controller # 3430001 ties into the turn signals it's most likely thinking the signal for the turn signal is actually the stop signal and is activating the brakes. Since there really isn't any troubleshooting that can be done with the unit itself the only thing you can check is the wiring. The first thing to start with is the ground wire to ensure you have a strong corrosion-free connection to the trailer frame. A bad ground can cause all sorts of issues...

- The converter box alone in a trailer wiring harness such as # 118379 for your 2003 Toyota Tacoma cannot be replaced. The whole harness would have to be replaced. Since you have determined that all of the electrical signals going in are correct but not correct on the output side of the converter this does indicate a bad converter.
But, if the converter stopped working because of a short somewhere on the trailer you will want to fix the short or the problem will keep happening. Make sure...

- Since you now use the 2014 Nissan Titan to tow the trailer you will want to go back and set up the weight distribution again as if it were the first time. Different vehicles react differently to weight distribution and you may need to make a few adjustments and do some fine tuning so that the truck and trailer are level when towing.
If you don't still have the installation instructions/manual for your system you can use the one I have linked for you. Once you have gone back and set it...

- The harness to use to connect a Prodigy P3 Trailer Brake Controller # 90195 to your 2013 Ford F-150 with the factory 7-way towing package is part # 22292. The harness connects between the controller and the port underneath the dash as shown in the linked video.
The most likely reason for the controller to display N.C. (meaning it does not detect a connected trailer) is a dirty or corroded vehicle or trailer connector. Check the truck's trailer socket and the trailer's plug for any signs...

- To determine if the problem is on the trailer or truck, you can disconnect the trailer and use a circuit tester such as # PTW2993 (if you don't already have one or a meter) and test the connector on your truck to see if it has power with the right turn signal on. If it does, then the issue is on the trailer. If it does not, then the issue is on your 2004 Chevy Suburban; likely a blown tow package fuse. In your Suburban the right trailer turn/brake light fuse is located in the in-cab panel...

- Often when trailer lights funtion except the tail or running lights the issue is a bad ground. Unlike stop and turn lights that come on an off, running lights remain on and this means they pull more current. A weak ground may still allow those other functions to operate and reveal itself only when your load draws higher current, such as when the taillights are on.
Check the main white ground wire on both the vehicle harness and the trailer harness. (Focus on the vehicle since the trailer...
view full answer... - Troubleshooting Brake Controller Installation When Brakes Lock Up
- It sounds like you have the red wire from the brake controller attached to the wrong wire on the stoplight switch. It should be attached to the side of the switch that shows power only when the brakes are applied.
If attached to the incorrect side, it will apply the brakes all the time. I have attached a link to a helpful article that explains how to troubleshoot a brake controller you can check out. You can use a circuit tester like part # PTW2993 to make sure you have run the wires...
view full answer... - Brake Controller Display Shows Changing Numbers when Not Using the Brake Pedal
- There are a couple of reasons that the brake controller display changes when you are not braking but they are related to a short somewhere. The most likely culprit is a dirty/corroded vehicle or trailer side connector. Or it could be a short in the magnets or the controller itself. There are ways you can test the controller to see if it or something else is causing the issue.
In the truck cab you will need to sever the blue wire several inches from the back of the controller. Then use...

- I called my contact at Air Lift and asked about the remote for the # AL25980.
They told me that if you can open the battery compartment, the contact that the battery has contact with will sometimes not make contact with the battery and that is the reason it will not turn on. They recommend bending the tab so that the battery makes contact and that should take care of the problem.
If that does not work, then the remote may be defective and will need to be replaced.

- We have exactly what you will need to resolve the brake and signal light issues you are experiencing when towing your 2012 Honda CR-V.
You will just need to install the Roadmaster Brake-Lite Relay Kit # RM-88400. This is needed on your vehicle to keep the CR-V's brake signal from overriding the turn signal sent by the RV. This will not interfere with your vehicle's electrical system and will automatically activate when the RV running lights are turned on.
I have attached an installation...

- If the right tail light on your trailer is working properly when you connect it to an alternate source of power at the 7-Way, and you have verified that the ground is secure and has a clean, metal-to-metal contact, then the problem is most likely on your truck.
Check to see if there is any rust, corrosion, or debris in the connection itself. Clean the connector if there was any and use some Dielectric Grease # 11755 for a strong connection and to help prevent corrosion and moisture affecting...
view full answer... - Replacement 4-Way Wiring Harness For a Damaged Power Converter On a 2011 Ford Edge
- It does sound like the converter went out on your Curt Harness # C56120. Do be sure to check the main power wire and fuse that runs to the battery. If this is damaged it would also cause the same issue but all the lights would fail to operate if the wiring or fuse is damaged.
I recommend replacing it with a Tekonsha T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118515 as I have found in my experience that the Tekonsha's use a better power converter and have less issues down the road than other brands.

- It could be a number of reasons why your Lippert Ground Control 3.0 # LC358590 & slide-outs are not extending.
One reason could be due to over-extending, or something internal may have become bent or stripped. I recommend seeing if you can manipulate the jacks with the manual crank.
If it is not working correctly even with the manual crank, then you likely need a new jack.
If your jack is fine with the manual crank, then you likely have a low battery power issue. You'll want to verify...

- According to the owner's manual for the Lippert Ground Control 3.0 Electric 5th Wheel RV Leveling System w Touchpad and Remote # LC358590, you'll want to ensure that the engine is running, the parking brake is engaged, and that the you do not have any hose leaks or loose fittings.
When you're pressing "ENTER" and "RETRACT" you're going to want to also make sure that you're engaging the parking brake as well.
If that still doesn't work, you can try turning the engine on, and restarting...

- That's an odd issue to have that we can't say we've seen specifically but LED taillights do sometimes cause odd issues since they require a fraction of the amperage and voltage to activate. One solution would be to use an adapter like the part # C57003 which puts diodes on the trailer light circuits that would absorb any excess voltage.

- The Pop & Lock Custom Tailgate Lock with Handle # PAL8540 for your 2013 Toyota Tacoma comes with a 1-year warranty which would be valid when you purchase this through us.
The warranty details can be found in the linked instructions and I've also linked an installation video on a 2015 Tacoma for you to check out.

- It sounds to me like you're having an intermittent power issue causing the disconnect between the camera and monitor of your # FOS43TASF. The quickest and easiest solution to this issue is to splice in the 12V PWM Filter for RV Backup Camera Systems # VGR64VR behind your camera to provide a steady 12v to the camera and strengthen the signal.
I've attached a video below where I'll walk you through installing this on the rear camera.

- We don't carry these stereos so I can't say for certain but typically with car stereos you'll need to remove them from their mount and take them apart to get a cd out of them when the eject function stops working. Most likely it's time to replace your Quest RV Stereo.
For a replacement I recommend the Jensen RV Stereo # JWM60A. This stereo has three different zones and plays audio from radio signals, CDs, DVDs, and devices connected through Bluetooth or an auxiliary or USB cord. The jControl...

- Since you mentioned you already tried adjusting your brakes and that did not seem to help, it may be time for new shoes. If enough of the pad has been worn away, they may not be bale to adjust out far enough to make good contact with the drum.
If your brakes are adjusted properly, you should hear a slight drag on the pads when the wheel is turned.
It could also be that your brake controller isn't putting out enough voltage. I recommend checking the voltage while the manual override is...
view full answer... - Reasons for Trailer Tire Failure
- Tire failure is usually caused by a few things. It can be from overloading the trailer, improper tire inflation, and/or exceeding the speed rating for the tire.
You should verify that the tire capacity you have for you trailer is adequate for how much your trailer weighs.
The pressure ran in the tires makes a big difference in longevity too. ST tires should be ran with the full pressure rating stated on the side of the tire, for full load capacity and longevity of the tire. If lower pressures...
