  • Where to Attach the Brake Controller Red Wire on a 2012 Cadillac SRX
  • I spoke with my contact at Tekonsha and Tow Ready and I believe that I can help you locate a place to attach the brake controller red wire on your 2012 Cadillac SRX. The vehicle does have a dedicated stop light circuit located in the BCM (body control module). The hardest part is going to be locating the BCM, but once you find it, it should be easy. The BCM is located under the left (driver) side of the dash. You will know it is the correct one because there will be 7 connectors plugged...

  • Recommended Tire Chains for 2018 Cadillac XT5 235/55R20

My favorite is the Konig Easy Fit Chains part # TH04115255 which unlike other options that take a while to install these install in literally seconds, provide great traction, have rim protection, require minimal clearances, and last a very long time. For the best in terms of rim protection and tire clearance though the K-Summit chains part # TH02230K77 are what you'd want. Unlike other options these don't drape...

Your Cadillac is most likely a 2 wire system which uses the same bulb for brake lamps and turn signals.

  • Will JT's Strong Arm Jack Stabilizer Kit for 5th Wheel RVs Work with Extended Rear Brackets
  • I looked at the instructions for the JT's Strong Arm Jack Stabilizer Kit for 5th Wheel RVs part # LC191024 and they state to measure from the rear side of the electric jack leg 27-3/4” and place a mark on the bottom of the main rails. Therefore, so long as you have space on the frame in this location there should not be an issue with the extended bracket (as long as it's factory) as the mounts swivel. Once the trailer is leveled, simply tighten the t-handle to lock everything in place.
