Expert Answers about Chevrolet Colorado


  • Pacer Performance 3rd Brake Light Logic Module Wiring
  • Whenever wiring Pacer Performance 3rd Brake Light Logic Module # # PP20-702 the yellow wires must go to each brake/turn signal and the green wire goes to the 3rd brake light. The reason why you need to hook both up is because the logic module filters out the turn signals and applies only the brake, so wiring only one may cause it to not work properly.

  • Installation of Weston Grill Guard for 2021 Chevy Colorado
  • We haven't had the chance to install the Westin HDX Grille Guard with Punch Plate - Black Powder Coated Steel # W58RV on any vehicles yet, but there are detailed instructions included with the grille guard that walk through the steps and provide photos. I've linked instructions for a similar Westin grille guard to give you an idea of what to expect but it will likely require some trimming of the plastic fascia around the grille area and you'll bolt up directly to the frame at the front...

  • Can Tow Bar Wiring Plug Mount to Front Skid Plate on 2019 Chevy Colorado ZR2
  • So long as where you are mounting it allows the bracket to be secured on your front skid plate, it would be okay to do so on your 2019 Chevy Colorado ZR2. You will just want to ensure the wiring bracket isn't loose and can be properly positioned, but I don't see why you couldn't do this when installing tow bar wiring. For this I recommend an option from Roadmaster: - Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit # RM-15267 I like this kit a lot as it is specifically designed...

  • Does The 2022 Chevy Colorado Need To Be Placed In ACC Mode To Flat Tow
  • When flat towing a vehicle you do not want your steering wheel to lock as this would cause your tires to drag any time you try to turn while towing. Placing your 2022 Chevy Colorado's transmission in neutral and then placing the ignition into ACC mode is not a step you can ignore. Failure to follow the steps listed in your owner's manual will result in damage to your transmission and/or more and likely not be covered under any manufacturer warranty. Another step listed in the manual is...

  • Is Wiring Harness/Adapter Needed to Install Brake Controller on 2017 Chevy Colorado
  • The 2017 Chevy Colorado doesn't use a plug-in connector, but it does have a tow package wiring harness under the dash that the controller would wire directly into. The harness is located behind the driver's side kick panel. The controller would install as shown in the linked video. The pigtail included with the Curt # C24VV TriFlex brake controller would wire up to the tow package harness as follows: • Tow Package Red/Green wire connects to Black wire from brake controller pigtail • Tow...

  • What Does Sensitivity/Boost Setting of Curt TriFlex Brake Controller Refer To
  • The Curt Triflex Brake Controller part # C24VV that you referenced has 9 different sensitivity settings so that you can adjust how aggressive you want the inertia sensor to react to deceleration. Since not all trailer brakes are as sensitive as others this allows you to tailor the braking to the trailer. So basically the higher the sensitivity the harder the brakes will apply with the same level of deceleration. This is also known as the "boost" setting as well.

  • Removing the Crossbars From the Thule XSporter Pro Ladder Rack
  • The Thule Xsporter, part # TH500XTB, can have its crossbars removed from the bases, leaving them installed and the bases clamped to the bedrails. I wouldn't recommend doing so, as you can also just remove the base's clamps and uninstall the entire unit in about the same amount of time as removing the bars.

  • Pop & Lock System that Allows Use of Trucks Key Fob for Undercover LUX Tonneau Cover
  • The Pop & Lock Remote Keyless Entry Kit part # PAL9000 is compatible with your Undercover LUX ABS composite hard tonneau cover. The Pop & Lock keyless entry part # PAL9000 kit comes with it's own key fob so you are not able to lock or unlock the cover with your Colorado's key fob. You are not able to use the truck's key fob because this particular Pop & Lock kit does not wire into your vehicle's power lock system. The kit replaces the latches of the Tonneau cover to allow the cover to open...

  • Installation and Recommendation of Tekonsha Brake Controller on a 2015 Chevy Colorado Z71 4X4
  • Good news, I can help.

See image I've attached for this location. Our installer recommended trimming back the tape that was holding the wires so that it was long enough to work with the included 12-inch-long universal pigtail connector.

  • Instructions for Installing the Rhino-Rack Heavy-Duty Bar Roof Rack for Camper Shells
  • Installing the Rhino-Rack Heavy-Duty Bar Roof Rack for Camper Shells # Y01-140B is pretty straightforward in that you will install the rails by using a 6.5mm drill bit to drill holes in your roof and then after that it's a simple manner of securing everything down with the included parts.
