Expert Answers about Buick Enclave


  • 7 to 4-Way Adapter for 2010 Buick Enclave w/ Factory Tow Package
  • If your Enclave has the 7-Way connector that has the factory harness that plugs into the rear of it, the 4-Pole Trailer Adapter for GM trucks with Factory 7 Way, part # 118384 will work great for you. Another option would be to use an adapter that would plug into the front of the 7-way, like the 7 to 4-Way Adapter with Tester, part # 47345.

  • Will Curt Wiring Harness for Factory Tow Package Allow Use of Trailer Running Lights on 2010 Enclave
  • The Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness for Factory Tow Package - 7-Way and 4-Pole Flat # C55774 is confirmed to fit the 2010 Buick Enclave with factory tow package. Assuming you have the factory tow package, the connector on the Curt wiring harness will plug directly into your factory tow package wiring harness. After installation this will provide you with all of the 7-way functionality including reverse lights. I think it is worth pointing out that running lights and reverse lights...

  • Why Would Trailer Wiring Not Work When Vehicle Headlights are On
  • This sounds like a classic ground problem. A bad or weak ground will show up when there is more load on the system. That is why when you turn the vehicle lights on, the constant draw of the trailer running lights creates more of a load and the bad ground shows up. There are some common places to check for a bad ground. First make sure all of the trailer lights and the main trailer connector are attached to clean and corrosion free bare metal surfaces.

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch and Wiring Harness for a 2022 Buick Enclave
  • The trailer hitch I recommend for a 2022 Buick Enclave is the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver part # e56YR. This hitch installs behind the bumper so it will be completely hidden while not in use. It features a bolt-on install without any drilling required. It has a class III rating with a 2" opening that will be great for hitch mounted accessories like bike racks and cargo carriers or for towing. If you will be towing then you'll also need a few other things such as the T-One Vehicle...

  • Towing a 4,500lb Jayco Travel Trailer With a 2012 Buick Enclave and 2013 Toyota Highlaner
  • I recommend the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 75528 for your 2012 Buick Enclave. This will install without any drilling or trimming of panels, but the door panel on the rear of the Buick will need to be removed and not reused. The Hopkins Plug-In Simple Vehicle Wiring Harness # HM11141615 will give you a 4-way flat trailer connection. The Universal Installation Kit for Trailer Brake Controller # ETBC7 will provide you with the other wiring and parts necessary for installing...

  • Installation of Roadmaster Invisibrake on 2015 Buick Enclave and Pulling Fuses For Charging Battery
  • It sounds like you've got a pretty good idea of what you want to do, and it looks like you've got a good parts list for your 2015 Buick Enclave. When it comes to installing the Roadmaster Invisibrake # RM-8700 the best location is typically under the driver's seat, but you can reasonably install this unit anywhere in the cabin of the vehicle where the adjustment knob is easily accessible. In the installation on a 2015 GMC Terrain it was installed in the rear cargo area of the vehicle. In...

  • Can Fascia Cover of 2015 Buick Enclave Be Reinstalled After Draw-Tite Class III Hitch is Installed
  • On Enclave model years after 2012, the fascia door can be reinstalled after the hitch is in place, and removed when the hitch is needed. On older models, you'll need to get a different fascia cover that sticks out a bit further from the dealer's parts department. For your 2015 Enclave, the fascia door will still fit after the hitch is installed, as you can see in the video I've linked for you.

  • Are Diodes Needed When Using the Roadmaster Tail Light Wiring Kit # RM-155 on 2014 Buick Enclave
  • Diodes are only for situations where you are using the towed vehicles factory tail lights and wires. When using the Roadmaster Tail Light Wiring Kit, # RM-155, it provides dedicated tail lights and wires so diodes are not needed. I have attached a picture which shows the recommended location for drilling and installing the bulb and socket.

  • Does The Thule Rapid Podium Feet Fit On My 2018 Buick Enclave?
  • The Thule Rapid Podium Feet # TH460R are designed for fixed points on existing roof rails. It seems that the 2018 Buick Enclave doesn't have raised side rails. If your Buick does, we need to check and see if there is any fixed mounting points on the rails. If that is the case, I will find the system that will work with your Buick. Until then, you can watch the installation video I've included!

  • Troubleshooting Left Side Trailer Running Lights that are Not Working
  • The first thing you'll want to do is determine if the problem is with the new wiring harness on your 2008 Buick Enclave or on your trailer. Both sides of the tail and marker lights run on the brown wire. Since you have only one side working the problem is most likely with the trailer. Use a circuit tester, like PTW2993, and test each contact on the new 4-pole connector. If they all pass, then check the wiring on your trailer. I would start by inspecting the trailer's connector, making...

  • Replacement Tire Recommendation for Trailer with ST175/80R13 Tires that are Failing
  • You always want to have your trailer tires inflated to their max PSI rating. There is no exception for this for tandem axle trailers. Typically trailer tires fail due to excessive heat created by overloading, exceeding the speed rating (typically 65 mph), or under-inflation. The most likely situation is that you are exceeding the speed rating and that is causing the failure since you are above the weight rating for 4 Load Range C tires. So I would recommend the Taskmaster Tire part #...

  • Parts Needed to Tow a 3,900 Pound Trailer with a 2016 Buick Enclave with Factory Tow Package
  • In addition to a trailer hitch, such as # 75528, for your 2016 Buick Enclave you will also need a trailer wiring harness, ball mount, and ball. These are the basic components needed for towing. It looks like the Enclave already has a trailer wiring harness so that plus the hitch means we need to look at ball mounts and balls. I recommend an adjustable ball mount such as # C45900 because it is height adjustable from 6 inches drop to 5-1/4 inch rise and it has both a 2 inch and 2-5/16 inch...

  • Parts Needed For A 2015 Buick Enclave To Tow A Trailer With Electric Brakes
  • Since your 2015 Buick Enclave has a 4-pole wire harness installed already the next step would be to install the # ETBC7. This kit will come with everything you need to for a 7-way connection point. The 2-wire plug you have is most likely the reverse light circuit. You can put the car in reverse and use a tester on the connector to see if it gets power. If so you can run this to the yellow wire or just cap it off with some electrical tape. For the brake controller I recommend the Redarc...
