Expert Answers about Chrysler


  • Brake Controller Installation in 2020 Chrysler Pacifica
  • I have good news for you - since you have a factory 7-way in your 2020 Chrysler Pacifica you have a very simple "installation" which will require nothing more than plugging a brake controller wiring adapter into the port under the dash of your Pacifica and then plugging the brake controller into that adapter (essentially, you can think of the adapter as like an extension cord for the brake controller). I really like the Tekonsha Prodigy P2 Trailer Brake Controller # 90885 because it is...

  • Install Picture of Draw Tite Hitch 76046-SK on Chrysler Pacifica
  • I attached an install picture for the Draw Tite hitch part # 76046-SK that you referenced on a similar 2020 Chrysler Pacifica for you to check out. It's not a hybrid model in the picture but it would look the same on your hybrid model.

  • Does The Heat Shield Need To Be Trimmed Or Can It Be Removed When Installing etrailer # e98903
  • On your 2017 Chrysler Pacifica Touring L model, you can simply remove the underbody panel as you stated when installing the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Matte Black Finish - Class III - 2" # e98903. I don't recommend leaving the panel off completely because it is a heat shield to protect other components. You can see in the video that we trim it slightly more than is needed to make the install easier. Removing more than what we did in the video is not recommended.

  • How to Find Reverse Light Circuit on 2018 Chrysler Pacifica
  • You're on the right track; this is the correct adapter, and the best place to look for the reverse light circuit when installing the Tow Ready 4 Pole to 5 Pole Trailer Wiring Adapter # 20036 is on the tail light assemblies on your 2018 Chrysler Pacifica. When installing this adapter, you may need to have a friend activate each function and test the wires using a circuit tester like the # PTW2992 to get the correct wire to tap into.

  • Why Does Curt T-Connector C56333 for a 2009 Chrysler Town and Country Connect to Battery
  • The Curt T-Connector you referenced, part # C56333 receives the signals through its T-connection with the tail light assemblies of your Town and Country, but draws the actual voltage to power the trailer lamps directly from the battery. This is done for a few reasons. First and foremost, if the aftermarket trailer wiring harness manufacturers determine that the OE vehicle wiring is incapable of handling the extra amperage of the trailer lights being drawn through it, they will specify...

  • Torque Rating for Class III 75522 for 2004 Chrysler Pacifica
  • We don't publish the torque ratings for the fasteners, because the hitch manufacturers can change them. If you look at the bottom of page 2 of the instructions (see provided link), you'll see the torque rating for both the 1/2 inch and the M12 fasteners. The links pull the instructions directly from the manufacturer's websites, so they're always current. I'll also link you to an install video for the hitch. If you'll be using the hitch for towing, you might also be interested in the following...

  • Stabilization Strap Use for a CURT Trailer Hitch and Cargo Carrier on a 2004 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  • For CURT Class I and II trailer hitches, when you have a non-trailer load such as a bike rack or in this case a cargo carrier, you can use the stabilization strap, # 18050. One end you will loop around the near edge of your carrier. The other end has a hook that will fit at the top of the rear hatch in the space between the roof and the hatch on your 2004 Chrysler PT Cruiser. The strap needs to be snug but be careful not to over tighten the strap.

  • Installing Brake Controller on 2005 Chrysler Pacifica
  • The Chrysler Pacifica was not equipped with the brake controller connector under the dash. It sounds as if you already have quite a bit of work done already. However, I do have one note on what you have already completed. On your 12-volt power supply wire that you have ran from the battery to the trailer connector, I would suggest installing a 40-amp inline circuit breaker like part # 9510. The breaker is typically mounted to the inside of a fender or other convenient mounting location...

  • Requirements to Tow Mobility Scooter Behind 2001 Chrysler PT Cruiser.
  • Based on my research, you can tow a trailer with your 2001 Chrysler PT Cruiser, but there are several warranty limitations. The owner's manual I found states to never exceed the gross axle weight rating of your vehicle because of the added weight of the trailer hitch's tongue weight or cargo weight. In order to comply with the vehicle's warranty, the following requirements must be met: -The max. frontal area of the trailer cannot exceed 20 sq. ft. -If your vehicle has a manual transaxle,...

  • Wiring Options for a 2009 Chrysler Aspen Towing a Boat Trailer with a 5-Way Flat Trailer Connection
  • Yes, the Tow Ready Custom Fit Vehicle Wiring for the 2009 Aspen by Chrysler, item # 118390, is the correct wiring harness for your Aspen and you will need one other item to complete the wiring to lockout the brakes on your boat trailer surge coupler. You can go one of three ways for this wiring. The easiest way in my mind is to install the # 118390 T-One and then splice the 5-Flat Vehicle End 5' Wiring Harness, item # HM37908, to the 4 like wires left by removing the 4-way vehicle end...

  • Is it Necessary to Connect the Power Wire to the Battery on a 2013 Chrysler 200
  • Yes, it is necessary to run the lead from the Wiring # C56211 that runs from the battery to the trailer connector. This wire carries the voltage necessary to power the trailer lamps. The wires that are connected to the tail light assemblies tell the converter that the vehicle tail lights, turn signals or brake lights are operating, but do not provide the voltage for the lamps. Vehicle manufactures have determined that the circuits feeding the tail light assemblies on the vehicle cannot...

  • Items Needed to Install Brake Controller on 2005 Chrysler Pacifica
  • Because the 2005 Pacifica is not pre-wired for a brake controller, the controller would need to be hard wired using a Brake Controller Install Kit # ETBC7. There is not a wiring adapter available. Although the install kit contains everything needed to install the brake controller, the vehicle will need a functional 4-pole trailer connector, part # C55530 if it does not already have one. The adapter included in the kit will convert the 4-pole to a 7-way trailer connector. Once the adapter...

  • Warranty Implications of Installing Curt Class III Receiver Hitch C13383 on 2020 Chrysler Pacifica
  • The answer to your first question can get pretty involved, but in summary purchasers of aftermarket vehicle products are protected by the Magnussen-Moss Warranty Act which states that installing a hitch won't void a vehicle warranty unless the vehicle manufacturer can prove that the aftermarket part directly caused the failure. You can install the Curt Class III # C13383 hitch with no worries. Curt tells me that they've received no report of the hitch installation having any effect on...

  • How to Identify Correct Brake Light Switch Wire for Brake Controller Installation in 2017 Pacifica
  • The cold side of a brake light switch is used as the trigger signal to activate a trailer brake controller like the Prodigy P2 # 90885.

The correct vehicle wire to connect to the RED wire on the controller is the one that goes hot ONLY when the brake pedal is pressed, and...
