Expert Answers about Dodge Caravan


  • Trailer Running Lights Not Working On a 2001 Dodge Grand Caravan
  • Since your trailer is working correctly with another vehicle the problem most likely lies in the wiring of the Grand Caravan. Turn the tail lights on and use a circuit tester, item # 3808 if needed, to check the trailer connector. If the taillight circuit is not working, you will need to follow the wiring back into the vehicle until you find the converter, the black box that the trailer wiring is coming out of. Test the brown wire on the trailer side of the converter. If the wire is working...

  • Trouble Shooting No Brake Lights on a Trailer Connected to a 1996 Dodge Caravan With 7-Way 30717
  • The first thing we need to do is narrow down where the problem lies. Disconnect part # 30717 from the 4-Way that was originally in place. Using a circuit tester like part # PTW2993, clip the ground wire to the exposed post on the 4-Way and have someone apply the brakes. Stick the probe on the circuit tester into the post that is attached to green or yellow wire. If you get signal, reconnect part 30717. If you do not get signal, something is wrong with the wiring on the vehicle As you face...

  • Recommendations for Towing a Pop Up Camper with a 2005 Dodge Caravan
  • You will need to check your owners manual, or with the Chrysler dealer to determine the towing capacity of your 2005 Dodge Caravan. Once you know the capacity of the vehicle you will need to find a camper that weighs less than the vehicles maximum towing capacity, when fully loaded, to safely tow the trailer. If you need a hitch for your Caravan, I would recommend the Draw-Tite Class III Trailer Hitch, item # 75119, if your vehicle does not have stow-n-go seating. If you do have stow-n-go...

  • Parts Needed to Fit Square Thule Crossbars to 2000 Dodge Caravan
  • If you have the newer 53" Thule SquareBars # TH712400 then you can use the Rapid Traverse Feet # TH480R and Fit Kit # THKIT1043 for the naked roof on your 2000 Dodge Caravan.

  • Cargo Mat Recommendation to Turn Rear of Van into Mini Horse Hauler
  • I think the Ribbed Rubber Trailer Mat # 4872SM that you referenced would be the best option we have to turn the rear of your 2002 Dodge Caravan into a mini horse hauler. Since this was intended for horse trailers it would be ideal for the mini horses. You could trim this to fit your vehicle as well. It weighs 73 lb.

  • Fitting an Accessory with a 2 Shank in a 1-1/4 Receiver Hitch
  • We offer a hitch adapter that will adapt a 1-1/4 receiver to a 2 inch, part # HTAD. Keep in mind that using an adapter will lower the tongue weight capacity of your hitch by 50 percent. For instance, if your current hitch has a 350 lb tongue weight capacity, using an adapter will lower the capacity to 175 lbs. This will mean that the hitch accessory (bike rack or cargo carrier) plus what ever is carried on it can weigh no more than 175 lbs. This is caused by the additional leverage placed...

  • Adding Electric Brakes to 1999 Jayco Eagle 10-UD Pop-Up Camper Trailer
  • Jayco offered the 1999 Eagle 10-UD Pop-Up camper trailer with and without brakes, so I presume you have the version without any brakes.

A first step is to review the attached article concerning adding electric drum brakes to a trailer. This covers all of the basics and required components. It is necessary that your trailer axle has brake...
