  • Trailer Running Lights Not Working On a 3500 Dodge Ram Pickup
  • There should be two fuses in the electrical panel under the hood of your Dodge Pickup for the trailer wiring. Check those again and you may find that is the problem. If all of the fuses are good then I would use a circuit tester, item # PTW2993, to test the taillight connection in the trailer connector on the vehicle. This connection point, for running lights, should be in the 11:00 position in the trailer connector. If you have power, there then the problem is with the trailer. If you...

  • Location of Brake Controller Installation Connector on 1995 Dodge Ram
  • I am assuming that you are speaking of the installation connector for a brake controller. It is located on top of the white box on the firewall behind the emergency brake pedal. To install your brake controller, you will also need a Wiring Adapter, part # 3020-P. If your truck isn't equipped with the factory 7-way trailer connector, the plug might not be present. If the connector is not there, you'll need to hardwire the controller using our brake controller installation kit, part # ETBC7....

  • How To Prepare a 7-Way Connector for a Brake Controller on a 2001 Dodge Ram
  • If the 7-Way connector was factory installed, it should all be connected and ready to go. Check the cover or flap on the 7-Way and look for the Chrysler logo. A factory 7-Way should have a connector that will mate up to a harness somewhere in the rear of the vehicle. If it is not a factory installed unit you will have to do some hard wiring. I will include a video of a brake controller install that will show you how to tell if it is a factory 7-Way or not. The 7 wires on a 7-Way are color...

  • Trailer Interior Lighting Not Working With 2006 Dodge Ram 2500
  • You will need to check the trailer wiring to see which circuit the power for the interior lighting is connected to. Use a circuit tester, item # PTW2993, if needed to see which wires have power with the trailer connected and the vehicle shut off and no lights on. You should have power on the number 4 circuit from the 7-Way connector. If your lighting is connected to this circuit, then you most likely have a problem with the trailer wiring. I would check for a blown fuse or circuit breaker...

  • Replacement Mounting Hardware For 4 Inch Oval Aries Nerf Board On A 2004 Dodge Ram Pickup
  • I believe you are correct, the mounting hardware you have # AABRKT-S224046 is meant to replace the mounting hardware on the Aries Oval Nerf Bars # AAS224046, which are not a fit for your 2004 Dodge Ram.

  • Does CIPA Towing Mirror Have Connection For Yellow Running Light
  • On the CIPA Magna Custom Extendable Towing Mirror # CM73611, additional features, such as LED turn signals, automatic dimming, and puddle lights may be lost, as these mirror replacements do not include such functions. This mirror uses the same factory connections for electric and heat functions. If the light is on a separate circuit, that connection may remain idle. Some of the replacement mirrors we have the electronic functions to control the mirror with the controls inside the truck,...

  • How to Determine Hitch Classification for 2 inch Hitch on Vehicle
  • 2 inch hitches are typically a Class III if they are on SUVs larger cars, and lighter duty trucks. If it's a heavier duty truck though it's most likely a Class IV. A good indicator is the towing capacity for the hitch. If it's up to around 8,000 lbs it's most likely a Class III. If it's up to around 12,000 lbs it's most likely a Class IV. I attached a help article on hitch classifications for you to check out as well.

  • Will the Pop & Lock Custom Tailgate Lock Work with An Aftermarket Handle on a 2003 Dodge Ram 1500
  • I do have an option for you but the Pop & Lock Custom Tailgate Lock part # PAL8340-PL9510 is designed to work with the factory tailgate handle so there would be no way for me to confirm it will work with the Master Tailgaters Handle you are referring to. However, I have attached a photo for you as well as a video that shows how the above mounts which you can then compare to the handle you want to use to see if they will work together. If you wanted a backup camera then your best option...
