  • Parts Needed for Brake Controller Installation on a 2007 Ford F-550 Cab and Chassis Truck
  • Yes, the # 3065-P connector will plug into the Tekonsha Prodigy P2 Proportional Brake Controller # 90885. It will just plug into the back of the brake controller and the gray plug that you found and supply power to activate the trailer brakes, once the brake controller is properly mounted and setup. Since your 2007 F-550 is pre-wired with a 7-Way trailer connector from the factory no additional wiring will be needed. I have provided a link to instructions for you to review.

  • Does Redarc Tow-Pro Liberty LED Only Flash When Trailer is Connected
  • Good question, and a trailer does need to be connected in order for the LEDs to be on when using the Redarc Tow-Pro Liberty Brake Controller # RED24FR. If a trailer is not connected and you press the manual override of the Liberty # RED24FR, the LED will just flash blue, but go out again, which means the controller does have power.

  • Where to Locate the Radio Code on a Jensen Radio and How to Use Satellite Radio
  • I was able to locate the owners manual for the Jensen VR209TP. According to the manual "Before you listen to Sirius Radio, you must subscribe to the service using your radio's identification number. To display the Radio ID, touch the TUNE + or TUNE - button to access channel “000”. The screen displays "Radio ID" followed by a 12 figure ID number."

  • Brake Controller Installation on 2014 Ford E350 Van
  • The vehicle is unlikely to have the connector behind the dash unless it has the factory equipped 7-way on the rear bumper. If it does, the connector that the controller would plug into is clipped to the rear of the small cubbyhole or coin tray in the dash. You'll access the connector by removing the coin tray. If the van doesn't have the factory 7-way, you'll need to hardwire the brake controller using our Install Kit, part # ETBC7. If your vehicle is a motorhome on a van cutaway chassis,...

  • Can Air Bags be Used to Smooth Out OEM Suspension Ride on 2014 Ford F-550 Cab and Chassis
  • Usually air bags are used to help level out a load or offer extra support to the OEM suspension system, but it isn't unheard of to use them for smoothing out the ride from the OEM suspension while it's unloaded. I reached out to my contact at Firestone (as I recommend going with their Ride-Tire air bags) and he said that they recently had someone come in and commented how the air bags help his truck ride a bit more smooth on the road without a load so it sounds like it's a very viable solution. For...

  • Can the Bulb Inside the Optronics Backup Light BU45CB Be Replaced
  • Correct, the bulb inside the Optronics Backup Light part # BU45CB is not replaceable because this is a submersible light therefore sealed. I would not really call this bad engineering as it was designed this way for a reason. If you were to replace the bulb you would have to break the seal and then the light would no longer be submersible.

  • Fuse To Tap Pink Wire of Air Lift WirelessAIR Compressor System on 2015 Chevy Silverado 1500
  • Airlift recommends using a keyed circuit that's only active when the ignition is turned on, as the system can activate if the vehicle moves (a strong wind could possibly do it) and possibly drain the battery. According to the installation instructions, the pink wire from the compressor harness shouldn't be installed on a circuit rated for more than 10A in order to prevent damaging the compressor. I looked over an online copy of the owner's manual, trying to find a good place to tap that...
