The Tekonsha Prodigy P2 Trailer Brake Controller # 90885 that you referenced( and also the P3 # 90195) can be mounted backwards so that the display is facing the front of the vehicle as long as you also mount it upside down for it to work properly in this orientation.
With that being said, I don't recommend mounting a brake controller beneath the driver's seat like you mentioned. In addition to not being able to see the display screen to look for current settings or error codes, the manual... view full answer...
Yes, there is a hazard light override feature on the Curt Echo Mobile Trailer Brake Controller part # C51180 that you can turn on via the in-app settings (see photo). Therefore, if you needed you could drive with the hazard lights flashing and not have to worry about the brake controller applying the brakes on the trailer. view full answer...
Thule lists a maximum speed limit for their tire chains of 50 kph, which is about 30 mph, which is about as fast as you'll want to go if the road conditions warrant the use of snow chains.
Before purchasing or using tire chains, be sure to consult your owner's manual and follow any advice about tire chain usage. It's a good idea to do a 'dry run' and practice installing the chains. Familiarizing yourself with the installation procedure while in your driveway or in your garage would be... view full answer...
According to the installation instructions for CURT Trailer Hitch, # 11824, which I have linked for you to view, you will need to drill a total of 4 holes to install the trailer hitch. Two holes will go through a cross member under the car and the other two in the bumper beam. (There is actually a 5th hole that will be drilled but it is for routing bolts for installation.)
The gross trailer weight capacity of this trailer hitch is 2,500 pounds, which is more than enough to handle the 1,800... view full answer...
If wired correctly, you should not experience any issues with the wiring harness # 119250KIT on your 2008 Mercedes R320 CDI. If something is not wired correctly you may get an error light on the instrument cluster and of course the trailer lights will not work properly but that is really about it.
This harness powers the trailer lights from the vehicle battery and not the tail light wiring. The tail light wiring only provides the converter box with the proper signals. If there was a short... view full answer...
No, the Mercedes ML320/ML430 Class II Trailer Hitch, item # 75087, does not require drilling for installation.
Some Items you may need with the Class 2 hitch if you're planning on towing are the following.
• Ball Mount # 2923
• Hitch Ball # 19260 or # 63845
• Hitch Lock # e98882
• Taillight Wiring Harness # C59236

Installing the Draw-Tite Class III Max Frame Receiver Hitch # 75774 on your 2013 Mercedes-Benz GLK350 does not require any type of modification to the vehicle. This hitch will line right up to existing holes in the vehicle's frame for a simple bolt-on (no-drill) installation.
I have attached an installation video on the 2014 model GLK-Class that you can use for reference. The process should be just about identical for your 2013 model. The written instructions are also attached. view full answer...
When installing the RoadActive Suspension system kit part # RAS3620 on your 2019 Mercedes Sprinter 2500 you would need to remove the rear wheels after jacking the vehicle up off of the ground. You can have the heavier stuff installed as long as your jack is capable of lifting that additional weight when you go to install this. view full answer...

I spoke with my contact in the engineering department at Curt, who tells me that by 'outboard mounted spare tire', they mean that if the vehicle's spare tire carrier is bolted to the bumper beam, the spacer plate is needed. If it's bolted elsewhere, the spacer will not be needed.
If you'll be towing with the hitch, you'll also need a trailer wiring harness like # C59496, a ball mount like # 2753 and a trailer ball like # 19260 for a 1-7/8 inch or # 63845 for a 2 inch ball. view full answer...
I have a great solution for you. I went ahead and called my contact at Thule, and he confirmed that the Thule Gateway Pro 2 does not have a FitDial setting for your 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLC300 because the rack will not fit your vehicle. They confirmed that the Gateway Pro 2 does not have a safe configuration on the vehicle.
With that being said, if you are looking for a trunk-mounted rack that is compatible with your 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLC300 (coupe or SUV), I recommend the Saris Bones 3... view full answer...
The power wire of the # 119250KIT would not be rated high enough to carry enough amperage for both the # 119250KIT and the Echo part # C51180. So what you'd want to do is run the wire that comes with the # ETBC7L along the same routing to get the the vehicle battery and you'd be set. This also prevents a short in the trailer wiring from potentially shorting out the brake controller and damaging it since they will be on separate circuits. Having two 12 volt wires ran to your battery would... view full answer...
I can help you with the installation of the Tekonsha Primus IQ # TK90160 on your 2005 Mercedes-Benz ML500 but unfortunately, I don't know which wires you will be splicing to under your dash. To figure out what wires you need to use simply take a circuit tester like part # PTW2993 and test the wires (there may be a bundle) under the driver's side dash. Look for a constant 12V of power, a wire that only gets hot when the brake pedal is pressed, a wire that outputs voltage to the 7-Way at... view full answer...
The factory bump stops on your RV built on a 2015 Mercedes Sprinter 3500 chassis will have to be cut off and the captured part pushed out in order to install Timbren rear helper springs # TMBRSP35B. There really isn't any other way based on your picture. view full answer...
There is no set number of washers that should be left over after installation of the Roadmaster Rear Anti-Sway Bar # RM-1209-131 on your 2015 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter. Roadmaster does not specify this in their instructions since vehicle manufacturing tolerances can vary among production years and even between different vans of the same year.

Tekonsha has determined that the # 119250KIT is compatible with the 2012 Mercedes-Benz E350. This harness connects without cutting and splicing your current wiring.
If you wish, you can use a circuit tester like # PTW2992, and probe the wiring harnesses feeding the taillight assemblies while a helper activates each lighting function. This will help you determine which function each wire carries. Most likely, it's a BM1 or a BM2, but you'll need to confirm that for yourself. This being... view full answer...
Yes, for the Prodigy RF Brake Controller part # TK94FR that you referenced the only circuit you will need to be active for the controller to function is the taillight circuits and the 12 volt accessory circuit.

You could use the BoatBuckle Cargo Tie Downs # IMF08893 to secure an ATV to a trailer. These have more than enough capacity at 833 lbs of capacity per strap. These permanently mount to your trailer with 1 bolt, mounting hardware is included.
The buckles are sewn to the strap so there wouldn't be a way to reverse the direction the hooks face. view full answer...
At this time we do not have a specific wiring diagram for the 2009 Mercedes E class. You will have to use the circuit tester with your wiring kit, part number # C59496, to locate each circuit, behind the taillights, that you need to splice into with the quick splices to install the wiring harness.
You will need to find the left turn, right turn, stop light, running lights, and the ground. Once these wires are located you can splice into them and then run your power wire to the battery... view full answer...
