• Recommended Trailer Wiring Harness For 2011 Chevrolet Malibu LTZ
  The wiring harness I recommend for your 2011 Malibu LTZ is the Tekonsha # 119147KIT, as the # 118450 you'd looked at isn't compatible with the LED taillight assemblies used by your Malibu LTZ. Installation of this harness requires hardwiring. The kit includes a circuit tester that helps you identify the wires behind the tail lights. If you need a trailer hitch for your Malibu I recommend part # C12051. This is a Class ll hitch and it has a 1-1/4 inch receiver opening. The drawbar...

• Ease of Installation for the etrailer e98863 Hitch on a 2008 Buick Enclave
  The etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver item # e98863, for a 2008 Buick Enclave, has a three out of ten on our difficulty to install scale. It looks like a pretty simple installation there's no cutting or trimming required. You will have to temporarily detach one of the muffler braces so I recommend having your Enclave sitting for awhile where you are going to install the hitch so the muffler and surrounding area isn't hot. I have linked the instructions and also a couple of install video's...

• Troubleshooting Running Light Function on 2005 Boat Trailer Issue
  When the running lights don't work on one side of the trailer, you want to start at the ground wire connections. Often the lights are grounded to the trailer frame through the mounting hardware so you want to check each light and make sure the light is grounded correctly. Often they are chained together so a bad ground on the front end of that chain may keep power from getting further. You can use a circuit tester like # PTW2992 to test if power is getting to each light. If not, you...

• Trailer Hitch and Wiring for 2011 Chevy Traverse LT
  The answer is going to depend entirely on the fully loaded weight of the food trailer and if your 2011 Chevy Traverse LT has the trailer towing package. I looked up a copy of the owner's manual and it states that a 2WD can pull a trailer that is a maximum of 2,000 lbs UNLESS it has the V92 Trailer Towing Package. If it does the maximum trailer weight is 5,200 lbs; if you are unsure if your '11 Traverse has the towing package you can call your local Chevy dealer with the VIN and they will...

• Recommended Trailer Hitch for a 2011 Chevrolet Traverse
  I recommend the Draw-Tite Class III Trailer Hitch part # 75528. It mounts directly to the frame rail, has a 750 lb max tongue weight and a 7500 lb max towing capacity. It's more than enough for your trailer but gives you enough towing capacity that if you decided later to get a bigger trailer later, it could handle it. Here is a link to a video on the 2011 Traverse that walks you through how to install the hitch and some photos of the hitch installed on the vehicle. The hitch also has...

• Procedure and Hardware for Trailer Hitch Installation on a 2012 Chevy Malibu
  The frame is hollow so there is nothing for self-tapping hardware to grip. Also, frame steel is generally very strong and can even require a special drill bit (rotabroach) so self-tapping hardware would have an even harder time installing. I have linked the installation instructions. If you plan on doing some towing then the correct ball mount is # C45522. For a 1-7/8 inch ball use # 19256 and for a 2 inch use # 19258. For trailer wiring use # 118450. Then you would also need a Pin and...

• Transmission Cooler for 2011 Chevy Traverse
  I would start by determining the towing capacity of the vehicle. I did some research, and saw a range of 2000-5200 lbs depending on how the vehicle was equipped. If you phone your Chevy dealer, they should be able to tell you the towing capacity of your Traverse based on its VIN. If you find that the fully loaded and ready to tow weight of the boat and trailer does not exceed the towing capacity of the vehicle, the only other thing I would consider essential would be an aftermarket transmission...

• How to Install a 7-Way Connector on a 2012 Chevy Traverse
  If you don't already have a wiring connector on your 2012 Chevy Traverse then that means you don't have the tow package and you need to install a 4-Way wiring harness and an adapter for a 7-Way. I am not sure what factory plug you found but when I spoke with my contact at Tekonsha he said that there was a change from the 2012 to 2013 Traverse models which is why the wiring kit # 118271 won't fit the 2012 model.If you send me a pic of the connector that you found I can try to help you identify...

• Trailer Wiring Recommendation for a 2014 Chevy Traverse
  For trailer wiring for your 2014 Chevy Traverse you would want the Tow Ready Wiring Harness part # 118270. If you need a hitch you would want the Draw Tite hitch part # 75528. For ball mounts I recommend the etrailer Ball Mount Kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts, 2 balls, a hitch pin with clip, and a carrying bag.

Tekonsha brand wiring products we have found to be the most reliable which is why I recommend this harness over the other options we have for you. In regards to the old harness you had, this was more than likely caused by a short which overloaded the...

I attached an install video for you to check out also. For a wiring harness lets start with a 4-way. For that you would want the Tow Ready Wiring harness part # 118450.

• Only Getting 12 Volt Power At The Back Of My 2011 Chevy Traverse When Testing A 7 Way Plug
  I know this will sound obvious, so don't get mad, but make sure the vehicle is on and the specific function you are testing for is being engaged. This is a very commonly missed step and you would be surprised how often this gets everything working. However, if you are already doing this, let's try something else. As you said you had replaced the fuse box and relays, I am assuming you have the factory tow package on your 2011 Chevrolet Traverse. Generally I will start by saying the towing...

First, you will need to install Tow Ready Custom Fit Vehicle Wiring, # 118450. I have included a video installation on a similar vehicle.

  I recommend the Curt Class II Receiver Hitch # C12051. This is a custom fit 1-1/14" hitch for your LTZ model 2008 Chevrolet Malibu. If you need a wiring harness I suggest # 46255. We have actually have video that covers your specific make/model and year vehicle; I have attached a link below. It is identified in this video that this hitch may set back slightly more than typical, and may require an extension for use with some accessories such as a bike rack. There are receiver adapters...

• Will Trailer Wiring Harness from a 2012 Chevy Traverse Fit a 2015 Chevy Traverse
  The trailer wiring harness you have now for the 2012 Chevy Traverse is # 118450. It only fits up to 2012 models. The 2013 model year had some changes that continued in the 2014 and 2015 models which is why the wiring harness for the 2012 models will not fit the 2015 models. For a 2015 Chevy Traverse that did not come with a factory trailer connector you can use Curt harness # C56181.

  The T-One Wiring Harness # 118450 will not fit your 2017 Chevy Traverse; as you mentioned it fits a 2012 Traverse without the factory tow package.

I've included links to a review video and install video for you to take a look at.

  For the Curt hitch-mount cargo carrier # C18153 there is no specific light kit offered but we can help you with the individual parts you'd need to install one. What you will need to do is use a light kit like # 98174LED, and then add 2 brackets # BK70BB. You will also need some self-tapping screws # FA1131822, or drill and use the hardware of your choice to mount the brackets. I noted in your purchase history that you have a 2011 Chevrolet Traverse, which will need to have a 4-pole...

• Parts Needed To Add A 7-Way To The Chevy Traverse
  Yes, I will be happy to help add a tow package to your 2012 Chevrolet Traverse. First, you will need 4-way Flat Trailer Connector # 118450. The purpose of this item is to control and allow the basic hookup of the three lighting functions (running, turn, and brake lights) plus one pin is provided for a ground wire.

  The 4-pole trailer wiring harness you referenced, part # 118450 from TowReady, is the correct plug-and-play harness for the 2009 Traverse that does not have a factory 7-way socket.

• Trailer Wiring Harness for a 2011 Buick Enclave without Factory Installed 7-Way
  The replacement 7 and 4-Way trailer connector # HM40975 is designed to replace a factory 7-Way if your 2011 Buick Enclave came with one from the factory. If your Enclave did not come with a factory installed trailer connector and you want to add a 7-Way you would first need to install a 4-Way, # 118450. After the 4-Way is installed to add a 7-Way you would either need adapter # 37185 (if you do not need the electric brake or 12 volt functions to work on the trailer), and plug in the 4-Way...

• Can V92 Tow Package be Added to 2012 Chevy Traverse LT
  I can definitely help you out with equipment that allows you to tow with your 2012 Chevy Traverse but it is my understanding that the V92 Trailer Towing Package (as it is called on page 9-48 of your owner's manual) cannot be added to a vehicle without the tow package. You'd need to get clarification on this from a dealer. According to my research the V92 Tow Package not only comes with a trailer hitch, wiring, and provisions for a brake controller, but there are also some other things...

• Parts Needed to Install a Brake Controller in a 2011 Chevy Traverse
  For a brake controller for your 2011 Chevy Traverse I would recommend the Prodigy P2 Brake Controller part # 90885. This is our best selling brake controller because of how well it works and how easy it is to setup. This is a proportional brake controller that senses the amount of braking the tow vehicle is applying and applies a proportionate amount to the trailer brakes. Since you do not have a 7-way harness you will need to first start with a 4-way. For that you would want the part...
