I suggest first off to ensure that the washing hasn't simply placed a fog over the lens caused from a residue. You may be surprised how often this is the cause opposed to actual moisture inside the device. Hopefully you find this to be the situation and then once cleaned, I suggest coating with Rain-X, # SLMRX11806D or a similar hydrophobic.
If you do have water within, I have found that the best way to remove acquired moisture from electronic items such as the Furrion Vision S Wireless... view full answer...
The Battery Isolation Solenoid # PK5231201 operates by connecting to a 12V power source and an ignition-controlled circuit in the vehicle.
The center terminal is to be connected to an ignition-controlled circuit such as that for the radio or power antenna. The solenoid will pass 12V power from the (left-side) input terminal through to the (right-side) output terminal only when a signal is present at the center terminal. Please refer to the included photo and sample installation video.

Your main problem is an insufficient ground for the trailer wiring. Try improving the connection of the main ground wire of the trailer wiring harness. Make sure it is attached to a clean metal surface. Or you can run all of the trailer wires back to the main ground. This is actually the ideal solution. But you can also check the current grounds for the lights to make sure they are making a solid connection to a clean metal surface.
What you described is the classic insufficient ground... view full answer...
If you are getting no power to the 12 volt pin on the 7-way of your 2019 Ford Expedition, and have checked to ensure the fuses are good, there are a couple of other things to take a look at.
One is simply faulty wiring, so you'll need to do the best you can to go over the wires and see if there are any that are broken, crimped, or otherwise damaged. Also check that the harness is fully plugged into the tow package plug. And finally check your 7-way connector for damage.
If you can't... view full answer...
Have you checked the wires themselves? I recommend starting there to ensure the wiring for the Hopkins Smart Hitch Backup Camera # HM50002 is not crimped or damaged in any way. It would be unusual for the unit to just stop working and it sounds like it has to be a wiring connection somewhere, or a damaged wire. If you cannot find any issue with the wiring the unit will still be under its 1-year warranty since you mentioned you only got it a few months ago. view full answer...
We are going to begin a process of elimination to solve this problem, starting by checking the 7-way functions. Start by using a circuit tester such as # PTW2992, to test the individual outputs from vehicle's 7-way just to make sure they are all working as intended. If that proves to be an issue, we know the problem is on the Explorer's side, if not, we can narrow it down to the issue being on the trailer.
You mentioned that you checked the ground on the Curt # C56278 harness, but be sure... view full answer...
Without knowing the actual hitch you are using, I can only give you general info. Sometimes with this issue it is because you are taking too much weight off the hitch. The hitch needs a certain amount of weight on it to function correctly and release the lower portion of the king pin. You may want to try a little more weight on the hitch and a bit less on the jacks. Another solution is the exact opposite, to take more weight off the hitch especially if you are using a lube plate disc.... view full answer...
There are a number of troubleshooting steps to take if you are having issue with the running lights on your camper. The first thing to do is take a look at your owner's manual to locate any trailer fuses or relays and ensure they are all there and in working order. If they are, in order to determine the specific problem you will need to purchase a circuit tester if you do not have one - the very handy Cordless Circuit Tester # PTW2979 - and test the connector on your vehicle after disconnecting... view full answer...
Since power is reaching one of your brake assemblies, the issue could be caused by a number of other factors such as poor ground connections, brakes need to be adjusted, the electric brake circuit, or bad brake magnets.
The first step I would take is to inspect the ground connections for the trailer connector and each brake magnet. If the grounds for the brake magnets are all spliced together, I recommend ground each of them to the trailer frame individually. Be sure they are grounded... view full answer...
An aftermarket in-bed wiring harness like # 41157 installs by plugging inline between the factory harness and the factory 7-way mounted on the bumper as shown in the video I've linked for you. As the connector on the bumper is working okay, check the connection at the back of the in-bed 7-way. Make sure that plug is fully seated, some times that's a tight fit and you'll need to push really hard to make sure the plug and the harness are fully seated together. view full answer...
We have never seen an 1/2" diameter hitch pin on a 2-1/2" receiver. They all have 5/8" standard. We only see the 1/2" pins on the small 1-1/4" receivers. I would measure your hitch pin carefully. Is it possible that everything is 5/8" but just has a loose fit? Hitch parts do not have tight tolerances and tend to wiggle and rattle a little. Most likely your setup is just fine.If the rattling becomes annoying you can always add a Trailer Hitch Anti-Rattle Kit for 1-1/4" Trailer Hitches,... view full answer...
If you are getting no signal when testing the running light pin on your 2009 Ford F-250, with a tester like part # PTW2991, then it very well could be a fuse or relay. When I looked up the online owner's manual for your F-250 it looks like you want to check the relays in the #42 and #55 positions in your Power Distribution Box.
Let me know if this doesn't fix your issue and I can help you troubleshoot further. I have linked some helpful articles on wiring to this answer page for you to... view full answer...
The issue you described sounds like a ground problem. This could cause your weak braking with the brake pedal as well as your trailer disconnected message. The reason it is causing you to have weak brakes with the pedal and not with the manual override is that the manual override will send more power to the brakes than the pedal will even at max power (proportional brake controller only). The higher voltage from the manual override has a better chance of reaching its destination without... view full answer...
The Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System w/ 4-Point Sway Control # EQ37140ET may or may not be set up correctly. You'd be surprised by how many systems are not installed correctly at dealers. I'd double check your setup first and then if needed address the truck sag. I've attached the installation instructions to assist.
A weight distribution system should not only help your trailer to sit level but should also reduce the sag of your truck. If your truck sees very little difference... view full answer...
I recommend using a circuit tester like # PTW2993 and test the 12-volt pin, located in the 1 o'clock position on your 7-way connector. Also, check the bottom pin which is the ground circuit.
I would also check your vehicle fuse panel and make sure that there are not any damaged fuses that could be causing this problem.
The wiring in the adapter # PK11896 wasn't designed to be altered.

For your MaxxFan Plus Roof Vent, # MA00-04000K, you will want to use a circuit tester like # PTW2993 to see if there is power getting to the fan motor and switch. If there is, disconnect all power from unit for at least 10-15 mins minimum to reset and try again. If failure continues you may have issue with circuit board that would require replacement. view full answer...
If your powered awning trips the breaker on its motor circuit you might have a mechanical issue that is stopping the awning arms from retracting or the breaker on that circuit may not be the correct value. The motors in items like jacks and awnings will draw more power when they see a heavier load or a mechanical obstruction. You'll want to check the operation of the awning manually using the crank; this may help you determine where the problem is. The awning motor should have some indication... view full answer...
The issue you are experiencing is likely a bad ground connection. It sounds like it worked, then didn't, and now works again which definitely sounds like the ground connection. I recommend checking your main ground connection on your boat trailer if there is a consistant spot on your frame. If not, then I recommend checking the ground connection at your tail lights. There is sometimes a separate ground wire for each light and other times the ground is through the mounting hardware on... view full answer...
The E2 error on your Hopkins brake controller indicates a short to the blue wire. The most likely culprit is a dirty or corroded vehicle/trailer connector and is causing power draw from another circuit to the brake circuit. Clean both connectors and also check the back where the wires attach because corrosion can build up there as well.
If this does not solve the issue, you should test the controller itself to see if it is the problem. Sever the blue wire a few inches from the back of... view full answer...
It's possible the switch has failed again but if you bypass the switch and apply power directly to the motor, you can rule this out. If the switch is bad again then you can use part # EJ-3520-PSW but if the jack does not work when there is direct power applied that means the motor is bad and the entire jack would have to be replaced with the Electric Jack w/ Footplate part # EJ-3520-BBX. view full answer...
