  • Troubleshooting Wiring Harness # C55560 When Installing on a 2006 Pontiac Torrent
  • The first place I recommend checking is making sure the ground connection is good on the wiring harness, vehicle, trailer and all grounding connection points. Many wiring problems are caused by a bad or insufficient ground. The wiring harness # C55560 is grounded to the vehicle and this wire is white. Additional problems could also be caused by dirty or corroded connections. Examine the front and back sides of the vehicle and trailer side connectors for any dirt or corrosion and clean it...

  • Does a 2008 Pontiac Torrent Require a Transmision Cooler to Pull a Camper Under the GTW Limit
  • You would use a transmission cooler if, when towing your trailer, your transmission fluid is above 200 degrees Fahrenheit. However, if the manufacturer says not to install one, then you need to follow their recommendation. There could be any number of reasons why an aftermarket transmission cooler should not be installed. It might not fit anywhere, depending on where mounted it could block the engine cooling system too much, or the vehicles just have not been tested for one. If they did...

  • Replacement Wheels/Tires for 1999 Haulrite Jet Ski Trailer
  • HaulRite offers several different trailers capable of carrying two personal water craft. For example, their VWC Double HD uses ST185/80D13 Load Range D tires while their JS Double-13 uses ST175/80D13 Load Range B tires. Both trailers use wheels with a 5-on-4-1/2-inch bolt pattern. The Haulrite website does not list the weights of these two trailers, but I suggest you simply replace the existing wheels/tires with pre-mounted replacements of the same rating. It is not advisable to simultaneously...

  • Can Trailer be Towed and Bike Racks Carried with 2008 Pontiac Torrent
  • The only way I can safely recommend you use a dual hitch mount so that you can carry a bike rack and tow your trailer is if you swap to a Class III hitch like the etrailer # e98865. You can not use a 1-1/4 inch to 2 inch hitch adapter and then use a dual hitch adapter in that. That would create way too much leverage and would damage the hitch/vehicle frame. Or the other option is install a roof rack on your 2008 Pontiac Torrent and then use roof bike racks with it. For the roof rack you...

  • Will the Westin Oval Tube Steps, # 22-5020-1775 Fit a 2008 Pontiac Torrent
  • The Westin Oval Tube Steps, # 22-5020-1775, are designed to fit specific vehicles including your 2008 Pontiac Torrent. I spoke with my contact at Westin who assured me the bars would fit but they cannot release any specific measurements for proprietary reasons. I have included a link to all of the bars listed as a fit for a 2008 Pontiac Torrent.

  • Which Brake Switch Wire on 2008 Pontiac Torrent to Connect to Tekonsha Voyager Brake Controller
  • I have linked an article that describes the location of the BCM (Body Control Module). If you cannot locate the cold-side wire at the brake pedal switch using a tester such as # PTW2993 you can instead use the wire on the BCM that activates the center high-mount stop light (CHMSL) to provide the activation signal for the Voyager. You will need to test the wires at the BCM to find the one that carries voltage only when the brake pedal is pressed (often this is a white wire). Please refer...

  • Two Front M12 Bolts Will Not Tighten with etrailer Hitch e98865 On a 2007 Pontiac Torrent
  • In regards to the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver part # e98865 on your 2007 Pontiac Torrent, the first issue you are having with the weld nuts inside the bumper beam is most likely due to them being stripped. This would have most likely been caused by the threads not being cleaned properly before the bolt was threaded in. Unfortunately, the fix for this will be to either drill and tap these nuts with the next size up drill bit/tap or to remove the weld nut and then use a carriage bolt...

  • Reese Brakeman 83501 Only Sends Power to Trailer Brakes When Using Manual Over Ride
  • Assuming the rest of the brake controller # 5504 is wired properly, the blue brake switch wire should be sufficient to tell the brake controller that the brakes have been pressed. My thinking is that you need to adjust the power output on the brake controller. If the output control is set too low, you may not get sufficient braking power until you use the manual over-ride switch. If the power setting is at an appropriate level, there may be a wiring problem. Double check your ground. Make...

  • Ordering Hardware Kit To Re-Install Trailer Hitch On 2007 Pontiac Torrent
  • You are correct. The hardware used to install a trailer hitch should never be used when re-installing a hitch. We have just what you are looking for. Simply type the letters RHK in the search box on our website. You will need to fill in the hitch number you have for your 2007 Pontiac Torrent. You then need to select the hitch manufacturer from the drop down menu and add it to your cart and you will be good to go. If you have a Curt Hitch, part # 13591, you would enter that in the hitch...

  • 6-Way Round to 4-Way Flat Adapter Recommendation for a Camper
  • If you are looking for a way to convert the round 6-way on your camper to a 4-way you would need a product like the Adapter 6-Pole Round to 4-Flat # 47305B. The 6-way male end of this adapter will plug into the 6-way on your camper and will provide a 4-way connection on the opposite side of the connector. The Wiring Harness part # 118391 that you referenced would not work for you as it is a wiring harness designed for Chevy Equinoxes.

  • Does the Vent Open on the Fan-Tastic Vent Roof Vent # FV807350 When the Sensor Dries
  • I spoke to my contact at Dometic and they told me that the Fan-Tastic Vent Roof Vent w/ 12V Fan and Remote - Powered Lift - 14-1/4" x 14-1/4" # FV807350 does reopen once the sensor dries.

  • Bike Rack Recommendation for a Camplite Trailer with an Aluminum Bumper
  • Since your Camplite Trailer has an aluminum bumper there really isn't a bike rack available that can attach to it since they all require attaching to a steel bumper. The best recommendation I could make would be to have a fabricator fab up a hitch on your camper if possible and then use a hitch mounted bike rack approved for RV use like the # S94FR.

  • Operation of Curt T-Connector Wiring Harness C56012 for a 2007 Pontiac Torrent
  • Yes! The 4-way wiring harness is designed to send a signal to the brake lights and the turn signals. The green wire is for the right turn, the yellow will control the left turn and the brown wire will be the brake lights. For the wiring harness to function properly it will need to be grounded, that is what the white wire is for. This Curt T-Connector # C56012 wiring harness will directly plug into the plug located in your 2007 Pontiac Torrent and provide you with a 4-way plug for your...
