The first thing I'd recommend doing is making sure BOTH fuses are installed, the 10A installed inline in the power feed for the converter and the 20A fuse is installed in position 10 in the fuse box, listed as 'Trailer Tow'.
If the fuses are installed and not blown, and the T connections that install inline between the taillight assemblies and the vehicle's taillight wiring harnesses are secure.
If that all checks out, use a circuit tester like # PTW2993 and check the circuits on the... view full answer...
Sometimes the issue you are having is simply just the connectors not fitting tight enough for the connection to be made. Unplugging and reconnecting the setup sometimes fixes this. After you try that use a circuit tester to test the brown wire coming from the connector on the left side when the running lights are on. If there's voltage there but nothing after the converter box the box is bad. If there is no voltage there then the issue is the connectors still aren't connecting with the... view full answer...
It sounds as if you have two separate issues happening, likely a poor ground for the trailer connector on the tow vehicle, as well as a broken or loose connection in the running light circuit on the trailer.
I'd first check the ground connection to the vehicle for the trailer connector on the tow vehicle. Make sure this connection is securely made to bare metal, and check that the connection isn't corroded.
Next, you'll want to track down the running light problem. Use a circuit tester... view full answer...
This can be caused by a few different things. If your 2017 Chrysler Pacific did not come pre-wired from the factory, it is most likely wired incorrectly. The red wire coming out of the controller should be connected to the stoplight switch and is most likely where the issue is. The way to test this would be to remove the red wire from the one it is spliced with and run the manual override again. If it does not trip the traction control light, which is what that light is, then you will just... view full answer...
The fact that it is on the left side only and happens on all the trailers you have tried indicates that there is an issue on the vehicle side wiring and possibly inside the converter box itself. To test it, have someone sit in the vehicle to run through the various functions (turn signals, running lights, and brake lights) while you test the wiring with a circuit tester, # PTW2993.
Start by testing the wiring going into the converter from the vehicle. If you do not get the correct signal... view full answer...
Often when some lights are working but others are not, the issue is a weak ground. The main ground wires need to be securely attached to a metal surface that is free of dirt, corrosion or paint. You also need to make sure the brake light assemblies on your trailer are grounded, which is often done through the bolts of the assembly so long as the housing is attached to the trailer's frame, and that frame is metal.
Should the ground be okay, the next thing you will want to do is use a circuit... view full answer...
The best way to know your exact parts you need for replacement is to take the hubs and bearings apart so you can give us the exact inner and outer bearing numbers so we can find the replacement parts. We want to avoid giving you part that otherwise would not fit.
For example you advised me that your have a 2007 trailstar tracker trailer. 4.5. 5 lug. If by 4.5 you mean that your axle capacity is 4.5k lbs. Your bearing could be # 603049.That bearing has a inner diameter of 1.781" and outer... view full answer...
The potential issues with your 2002 PT Cruiser signal lights continuously blinking could be a ground problem or bad converter.
First, I would double check all of your electrical connections to ensure secure connections. Secondly, test the wires going into your converter box and wires coming out for the correct signals. A circuit tester # PTW2993 will be beneficial when checking your wiring ground. See picture to the right.

Right turn and stop = green wire

There is not a confirmed fit from any of our manufacturers for your 2016 Chrysler Town and Country with raised side bars.
From the sounds of what you have, I recommend the Evo Raised Rail Feet for Thule Crossbars - Factory Raised Rails # TH710401 along with 53 inch crossbars # TH711420 and locks # TH450400. The crossbar width is based on the compatible kits for racks without the side rails.
If you want a clamp on system, the Malone AirFlow2 Roof Rack # MPG216 has 58 inch crossbars... view full answer...
The easiest way to test your 4-pole wiring on the trailer side is to directly apply 12V power from a battery like the one in your vehicle or a charged spare if you have one.
This can be done easily with a set of jumper cables like # HMBC0825 and two short lengths of wire. Connect the negative cable clamp to one piece of wire and the positive to the other. Apply the negative wire to the trailer connector ground pin and then attach the other end of the cables to the battery terminals. Now... view full answer...
This is so uncommon that it is the first time I have heard of this happening. The springs are very durable rubber and unless they were installed incorrectly, in the wrong place, the wrong system was used or they were severely overloaded, I cannot think of a way this would happen.
The system is meant to be installed on a vehicle with a suspension in good working order. So if there were stock suspension problems, the installer should have noticed that.
The correct system for your 2005... view full answer...
Something isn't wired up right on your 2009 Chrysler Town and Country. If this was a hardwire install where you had to tap into the taillight circuits of your vehicle I would double check that you have all of the connections made to the correct circuits. It really sounds like either you have a couple of the wires crossed or the wiring harness itself is just faulty which is pretty unlikely.
I attached an FAQ article on troubleshooting 4-way installs for you to check out as well. view full answer...
The two most likely causes for the blown 12V power fuse that feeds your TowReady T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118544 are a short within the trailer wiring for its running light circuit or excessive current draw from the clearance/marker lights on your trailer.
If you happen to have access to either another tow vehicle or trailer you can try substituting one in place of yours to see if the issue remains. This is the easiest way to isolate the fault to either the vehicle or trailer.

The converter box on the Curt Wiring Harness, part # C56331 is to protect the wiring of your 2012 Chrysler Town and Country in the event of a short. Which is exactly what it sounds like you have. Some vehicles do not need the powered converter.
To determine the source of your issue you'll need to determine if it's on the vehicle or trailer side. Does the fuse blow with the harness connected to the van but no trailer plugged in? If so the issue is on the van. If you need to plug in... view full answer...
If you have five wires on your trailer with two browns, one for each side then you have a wishbone trailer wiring harness like the part # A35W42B. This harness will still only use four pins just like the 4-way on your vehicle trailer wiring harness because the two brown get tied together. In regard to the issue you are having with all lights flashing, this is most likely caused by a wire mix up therefore I recommend you check over both the trailer and vehicle side trailer wiring harnesses... view full answer...
I concur, it does indeed sound like you have a faulty control module. That said, the control modules are not replaceable by themselves so you will need to obtain an entire new trailer wiring harness unfortunately as you are out of the warranty period as well. For replacement, I would actually go with the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness part # 118552 as we tend to find that this brand makes the most reliable wiring products therefore the control module will last longer. The good news is that... view full answer...
If the signal fuse is blowing on the 2007 Chrysler Town and Country then that could indicate a short circuit on the trailer. You will want to disconnect the trailer and inspect the trailer wiring starting with the trailer connector. Clean off any dirt and corrosion. Then make sure the main trailer connector ground is attached to a clean and corrosion free bare metal surface.
Then trace the wiring back to the tail lights. Look for any frayed or exposed wires that could be touching the metal... view full answer...
The converter box (black) in the trailer wiring harness # C56331 takes the separate brake and turn signals on the vehicle and combines them to a combined signal that is used by the trailer. The converter box or logic box contains circuitry designed to distinguish between the brake and turn signals and combine them to a single circuit on the output side.
Since the turn signals are working on the trailer but the brake lights are not, this is normally a bad ground. The brake lights will have... view full answer...
If the only thing not working is your running lights you are almost there. The running lights are powered through the brown wire on the 4 pole connector. Use a circuit tester and make sure that the prong adjacent to the brown wire, on the 4-way, has power when the running lights are on. If you do not have power there, then your problem is between the taillights and the 4 pole connector, as long as your taillights on the vehicle are working.
If the power is reaching the 4 pole connector... view full answer...
It sounds like you are having issues with your running lights which are actually on a separate circuit than the stop/turn lights. The first thing you will want to do is test the running light pin on the vehicle side trailer connector. If you don't get power here then you may have a blown fuse or shorted wire. If you do have power then apply power to the running light pin on the trailer side trailer connector. If the lights do not work then you most likely have a short in the running light... view full answer...
