Proportional controllers will return to a minimum braking power if the brakes have been applied for an extended amount of time. Also, once the controller no longer senses deceleration it will stop sending the max amount of brake power to the trailer axle.
That's the nature of proportional brake controllers. They try to match the same amount of braking action that the tow vehicle is applying. view full answer...
The bike rack I recommend for your 2013 Avenger is the Thule OutWay, part # TH45JV.

This bike rack features anti-sway cradles to help keep the bikes from banging into each other and also features a locking cable to secure the bikes on the rack along with locking covers over the release levers that secures the bike rack to the car. This bike rack uses only two retractable cables to hold the rack... view full answer...

For your 2009 Dodge Avenger, there is not a class III or IV hitch available. Your best option is the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class II - 1-1/4" # 36448 which is rated for 3500 lbs. To get your 2 inch receiver you will use the adapter which will reduce the 300 lb capacity of your hitch to 150 lbs which also includes the aluminum carrier weight. For the adapter I recommend the Brophy Trailer Hitch Receiver Adapter # HT5R. It has a 5" rise to give you greater ground... view full answer...
As long as the U-Haul trailer has a 4-Way Flat connector then yes, the Hopkins Plug-In Simple Vehicle Wiring Harness # HM11142274 for your 2013 Dodge Avenger is compatible with it.
The 4-Way Flat connector is the most common connector that activates the trailers lights. If the trailer has brakes then you would probably need a 7-Way, but I am pretty confident it has a 4-Way. view full answer...
The trunk mount bike rack that I would recommend for your 2013 Dodge Avenger SXT with the rear spoiler is the Hollywood Racks Expedition 2 Bike Rack, # HRF6-2. This bike rack was designed with a longer lower support arm to clear factory spoilers. I have attached a demonstration video of this bike rack on a 2014 Dodge Avenger for you to check out. This car does not have the spoiler, you can use the fit of the bike rack to see that it will clear the spoiler.

If you had a small trailer for your motorcycle you could tow it with your 2013 Dodge Avenger with the Curt hitch part # C11133 installed but if you were thinking about using a motorcycle carrier there's no safe way to do this with your Avenger.
For trailer wiring you'd then want the part # C56211 which installs pretty easily.
Then for a ball mount part # C45522 and hitch ball # C40001. view full answer...
The only trailer hitch receiver size available for your 2013 Dodge Avenger is 1-1/4" like what you find with the Curt # C11133 and Draw-Tite # 24871. Out of these 2 I recommend the Curt because it has a thicker powder coat and a collar at the end of the receiver.
You technically can use the Brophy Hitch Adapter # HTAD so that you can use an accessory that has a 2" shank, but using this adapter does reduce the weight rating of the hitch by 50% so right off the bat you're down to 100 lbs... view full answer...
On your 2012 Dodge Avenger, the Kat's Heaters Custom Fit Engine Block Heater # KH11814 will be installed in the RL position that you see in the accompanying cut out.

The Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch # 36448 is a confirmed fit for your 2008 Avenger R/T and is a great fit for your light-duty towing and hitch rack needs. The hitch exceeds industry strength standards.
The recommended wiring for your vehicle is the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # 118445. I have added a link to that part.
The recommended ball mount is # 36065 and I have added a link to that part too.

Since you have had your wiring harness installation tested with a circuit tester and have found it to carry the appropriate lighting signals from your 2014 Avenger, the issue is almost certainly within the trailer's wiring.
Inspect the trailer connector for any signs of corrosion. The contacts do not have to appear rusty or deteriorated to have a corrosion issue; even slight greenish or whitish discoloration can indicate mild corrosion that can interfere with signal transmission. Clean... view full answer...
You are correct Hidden Hitch is the brand name of the Class I hitch, part # 60288 (no longer available), for your 2008 Dodge Avenger. All of the hitches for the Avenger are going to be somewhat visible because access is needed to insert and pin the drawbar into the hitch.
I added a drawing that shows how the hitches are positioned on your Avenger, see link.
If I were selecting a hitch for the Avenger I would go with the Draw-Tite Class II hitch, # 36448, because it will not be any more... view full answer...

I checked the availability of WeatherTech floor mats for your 2008 Dodge Avenger RT and found that WeatherTech does make semi-custom fit floor mats for your vehicle, but they do not make custom fit floor mats.
I have attached a link to all of the WeatherTech floor mats that will fit your Avenger. This list includes the front and rear floor mats. The mats are available in tan, gray and black.
Based on my research, WeatherTech does not make custom fit floor mats for the 2010 or 2011 models... view full answer...
This is a text book example of a weak ground. Ground issues normally show up when there is more draw on a system. With a turn signal on and the brakes you are drawing a lot of power and that is when the issue is going to show up. You will want to start by making sure all grounds from the vehicle to each of the lights are attached to clean and corrosion free bare metal surfaces.
If you have something grounded at the same location as other items, moving the ground(s) to another location... view full answer...
First, to lower the exhaust, the first thing that our installers do is hang a support strap from one side of the vehicle to the other side to support the exhaust once it is off the hangers. To get the exhaust off of the rubber hangers you will need to spray them down with some lubricant like WD40. Then you can use a small pry bar or other flat tool to push the exhaust off the rubber part and then let it rest on the strap.
To use the fish wire you will just thread the bolt onto the end,... view full answer...
Pittman Outdoors, the manufacturer of the # 341033 Rear Seat Air Mattress tells me that the mattress is recommended for mid-sized cars, so it should be a perfect fit for a mid-sized car like your Avenger. To be absolutely certain, you could measure the inside distance between the inside of the rear doors and the available width between the back seat and the rear of the front seats. If these dimensions are at least 55" x 35-1/2", the mattress would work perfectly for you.

There are a number of bike racks that will work with your 2013 Dodge Avenger, just keep in mind the center of the hitch pin hole to the edge of the bumper is about 6-1/2 inches with the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11133.
That's a pretty good distance, so you'll need a bike rack with good bumper clearance, and there is a bike rack that you can use which is compatible with the Curt hitch that fits your 2013 Avenger, and also have the clearance needed so they won't come into contact with... view full answer...
When you say that the # 118445 T-connector stopped working on your 2010 Dodge Avenger, was it just one function, or are none of the functions at the 4-Way connector working?
The most likely problem when you have lights working strangely, such as flashing repeatedly or perhaps coming on or going off at the wrong times would be that there is a bad ground either on the vehicle or on the trailer.
The best way to find out where the problem is occuring is to start by testing the 4-Way connector... view full answer...
