Expert Answers about Dodge Durango


  • Troubleshooting Curt T-Connector C56333 Install on a 2013 Dodge Durango
  • You are not getting the flash at the trailer connector, is that correct? The first thing I would recommend you do is test the converter. Activate the right vehicle turn signal and use a circuit tester like part # PTW2993 on the green wire on the INPUT of the converter box. Then activate the left turn, and test the yellow wire, again on the input. If you have the signal entering but not leaving the box, it would indicate that the converter box is faulty and should be replaced. If this is...

  • Trailer Lights Not Working with T1 Trailer Wiring Harness on a 2005 Dodge Durango
  • The first thing you will want to check on the T1 harness # 118390 for the 2005 Dodge Durango is the power wire connection. If this harness is not connected to the positive terminal of the vehicle battery then it will not function. Also, the fuse that comes with it must be in place. You can also check to see if the fuse is intact. Next, move on to testing the wires that go into the converter box from the vehicle. The red power wire should have at least 12 volts. The green and yellow wires...

  • Solution for Noisy Roof Rack
  • Roof racks can be a bit noisy but if you install a fairing the noise will be greatly reduced. To pick out a fairing you need to measure the distance between the feet of the roof rack and go with one that fits the best between them. Below are the available sizes we offer that are for Thule bars and can fit other crossbars due to their universal design: # TH62WV for a 32 inch fairing, # TH72WV for a 38 inch fairing, # TH82WV for a 44 inch fairing, # TH22WV for a 52 inch fairing.

  • Troubleshooting the Tekonsha T-One Connector 118617 on 2020 Dodge Durango
  • The T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # 118617 is the correct fit for your Durango according to the manufacturer. Since this is a powered unit, the module gets power directly from the battery and just captures signal from your factory wiring. It sounds like there is a connection issue. I recommend checking the connection points at your tail lights to make sure there aren't any bent pins, and the connections are firmly in place without any loose wires in...

  • Troubleshooting "Not Operational-Low Battery" on Monitor of Roadmaster Even Brake 9400
  • The Roadmaster Even Brake Portable Supplemental Braking System - Proportional # RM-9400 is reading that outlet is not a constant 12 volts. The light on the outlet is not the only indicator as the system is far more sophisticated and the LED light requires very little power to light. Some vehicles only take a short time from a fully charged battery to drop from 12 volts when the engine isn't running. The instructions state "Note: unless the red (power) wire is connected to a fuse that...

  • Factory Trailer Wiring Activated by Dealer Not Working on 2013 Dodge Durango
  • It could be that there are fuses or relays missing on your 2013 Dodge Durango that will make the tow package wiring fully functional. to test to see if the dealer's set up is indeed working properly you can test the vehicle side connector using a circuit tester such as # PTW2993. If you are not getting power at the trailer connector, then there is a problem on the vehicle end and the dealer will probably want to recheck to make sure the computer is set up for the tow package wiring.

  • Discontinued Draw-Tite I-Command Flashing S.H on 2000 Dodge Durango
  • If your now Discontinued Draw-Tite I-Command Trailer Brake Controller is flashing S.H that means there is a short somewhere along the brake output circuit. Since this is happening without the trailer connected, the short is, of course, in the wiring along your 2000 Dodge Durango. Trace that wiring back to your connector and look for a spot that is broken, crimped or otherwise damaged. Also look at the connector on your Durango itself and make sure the wire is solidly connected and that...

  • Trouble Locating Green Wire For 12 Gauge Blue Wire To Connect With
  • The 12 gauge blue wire is the brake controller output. If you have a brake controller installed then you will be able to test the wire for signal when the brake controller is sending power to the trailer. I was able to find a picture that a customer sent in of the wire and included that below. You can see that he simply used wire tap and not a butt connector. You will need to connect this with the wire side that is coming from the control module and not the side that runs toward the back...

  • All Trailer Lights Blinking When Using Turn Signal on 2011 Dodge Durango
  • The most likely cause for all of the trailer lights to blink when using the turn signals and the brake lights not working when the trailer is connected to your 2011 Dodge Durango, is a weak or bad ground connection. Since you have ruled out the trailer wiring as being an issue, I recommend checking that the ground wire from the vehicle's wiring harness is secured to the vehicle at a clean bare-metal surface that is free of any paint, rust or any other debris. Even though it is a new harness,...

  • Testing Output on Prodigy P3 Brake Controller
  • Are you testing the P3, part # 90195, with the Durango moving? It's a proportional controller so if you're not moving the controller won't sense any movement and won't send any power back to the brakes. Test with the manual override and see if the brakes engage. If so then try driving and testing. Did you use the # TK93VR harness? If so it should be plug in play but if you had to hardwire it and it's still not working while you're driving then it sounds like the red wire isn't connected...

  • Troubleshooting Brake Controller Install in 2018 Dodge Durango Using Factory Wiring W No Connection
  • On some Dodge vehicles that use the # TK93VR to install a brake controller like the Prius IQ # TK90160 there are a few fuses and relays that may need to be connected under the hood to complete the wiring according to Tekonsha. So what you can do is check under the hood for brake controller related fuses/relays and replace as needed or you can cut out the blue wire of the # TK93VR and run a length of 10 gauge wire like part # 10-1-1 (sold by foot) back to the 5:00 pin of the 7-way to activate...

  • Troubleshooting Trailer Brake Assemblies that Sound like they are Activating in Reverse
  • The issue is not brake controller related since it persisted when the controller was disconnected. If I were you I would jack the trailer up in the air to see if the wheel can be turned by hand in either direction. You should feel a slight drag on the drums as you do so as that's the proper brake assembly adjustment. To see how to manually adjust trailer brake assemblies check out the video I attached, fast-forward to the 4:35 mark of the video. If the problem persists you'd want to...

  • Troubleshooting Vision S Side Camera That Turns Off When Blinkers Are On
  • It sounds like you are trying to add the LED Marker Light RV Side Cameras w/ Night Vision # FCE48TASL to your Furrion Vision S camera system on your camper. The camera's red wire (power) and brown wire (lamp) can be spliced together and then wired into your running light circuit (not turn signal circuit); the black wire gets grounded. This way the camera and light will only turn on when your running lights are turned on. The yellow wire (trigger) can be capped off since you won't be needing...

  • Troubleshooting Trailer Wiring Where the Stop/Turn Signal Functions but Not the Running Lights
  • You've narrowed down the problem to being somewhere on the wiring of your trailer. The first place to look is the trailer connector. Look for corrosion in or behind the connector, cut or exposed wire that could be shorting the circuits and fix as necessary. The next place to look is the taillight assemblies themselves. Since both of them work with the lower illumination of the running lights but not with the brighter illumination of the stop/turn signal I suspect the problem is that the...

  • Troubleshooting Installation of T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness 118334 in 1998 Dodge Durango
  • For troubleshooting we will work to eliminate one potential cause at a time. If you happen to have access to another tow vehicle, you can try your trailer with that other vehicle. This will tell you if the problem is in your trailer or your tow vehicle. If further troubleshooting is needed I have linked an article and several videos on trailer wiring and how to go about testing. These explain much of what you need to do. In the article focus on the section titled Troubleshooting Trailing...

  • Troubleshooting Left Turn Signal Bulb Out Message after Trailer Wiring Install
  • Do all of the turn signal still work properly? If not, then most likely the problem is a bad bulb and is unrelated to the trailer wiring. You can try making sure all of the connectors of the trailer wiring harness are making good connection as well. You can test the trailer wiring with a circuit tester like # PTW2993 like in the video I attached to see if the wiring harness seems to be working properly. If not, then most likely the harness is damaged and needs to be replaced. Or, you can...

  • Trailer Lights Go Out when Brakes are Applied
  • You may have a ground issue. Make sure the ground on the trailer and the Durango are securely attached to a clean surface. If this is not the problem you should check the trailer for proper wiring. If you did not use a wiring harness with a converter box in between the truck and the trailer connection then the break lights will not work because the Durango is on a five wire system and the converter sends the break light signal from the red wire on the vehicle side of the converter to...

  • Trailer Brake Lights Not Working After Installing New 7-Way on 2003 Dodge Durango
  • If the brake lights are not working but the turn signals are then you may have a blown stop light or CHMSL fuse on your 2003 Dodge Durango. Check the owner's manual for the fuse locations and for tow package fuses to check to see if any are blown. The tow package wiring on the Durango is already converter so the tail light wiring won't have anything to do with the trailer connector wiring. But if you really wanted to you could use # 118334 that plugs in line with the tail light wiring...

  • Troubleshooting Right Side Running Lights Not Working on 1989 Travel Trailer
  • If the left side of your lighting is working normally and your grounds on the right side look good then that means that the wire somewhere on the right side of your 1989 travel trailer is damaged or bent. Sometimes a splice will be pretty close to any lights on that circuit but this isn't always the case. Your best best is to follow the wiring from your 7-Way to the lights or vice versa. If you find any pieces damaged go ahead and replace them with 16 Gauge Wire # 16-1-1 and Butt Connectors...

  • Troubleshooting Trailer Wiring To Match 2006 Dodge Durango Factory 7-Way Connector
  • There is no quick and easy fix to find the problem on your wiring issue with your trailer. You stated that there was no problem with the truck wiring because it works with your boat trailer so that does narrow it down to the trailer as the culprit. The first thing you will want to do is check to make sure the ground is attached correctly and is attached to a clean metal surface. Then, using a circuit tester like part # PTW2993, and a 12V power source, check the trailer connector to see...
