Replacement Trailer Wiring Harness Module for 2005 Dodge Magnum
Question:
The trailer harness module installed by etrailer a couple of years ago fried. Partial melt down and white smoke. Anyway, which of the harnesses you list on your website would be the best choice for replacement. I have removed the defective module and am ready to install a new one. Thanks,

Helpful Expert Reply:
There is a chance that the previous module failed due to the trailer lights drawing too many amps or a possible short somewhere in the trailer's wiring. Before installing a new harness, I recommend inspecting the wiring on your trailer to make sure that there aren't any problems such as exposed wires or corrosion that could cause failure in the harness again.
I recommend replacing the harness on your 2005 Dodge Magnum with the Curt Custom Fit Vehicle Wiring Harness, # C55562. The Curt harness provides a higher maximum amperage per circuit compared to the Tow Ready harness that you previously had installed.
