I concur, it does indeed sound like you have a faulty control module. That said, the control modules are not replaceable by themselves so you will need to obtain an entire new trailer wiring harness unfortunately as you are out of the warranty period as well. For replacement, I would actually go with the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness part # 118552 as we tend to find that this brand makes the most reliable wiring products therefore the control module will last longer. The good news is that... view full answer...
It does sound like there is a problem inside of the converter box for the wiring harness on your 2008 Chrysler Town and Country. To test it you will need a circuit tester such as # PTW2992 or a meter if you have one.
Have someone sit in the vehicle to operate the lights while you test. First test the wires going into the converter box from the vehicle. None should have power when none of the lights are on (except for the power wire on applicable wiring harnesses). If there is power then... view full answer...
If the only thing not working is your running lights you are almost there. The running lights are powered through the brown wire on the 4 pole connector. Use a circuit tester and make sure that the prong adjacent to the brown wire, on the 4-way, has power when the running lights are on. If you do not have power there, then your problem is between the taillights and the 4 pole connector, as long as your taillights on the vehicle are working.
If the power is reaching the 4 pole connector... view full answer...
A hitch stabilizer like the etrailer Anti-Rattle Hitch Stabilizer for 2" Hitches # e99007 is a great place to start with this kind of issue. There are a number of things that can be causing noise like this but if it's consistent between a single trailer and multiple tow vehicles I think starting with the hitch stabilizer and working our way from there is the best course of action.
It would also be worth checking the bolts and welds on your trailer coupler as well as the actual connection... view full answer...
The Curt Class II Trailer Hitch, part # C12362, is the correct trailer hitch for your 2003 Chrysler Town and Country and the ball mount, part # C45521, is the recommended ball mount for that hitch.
It is perfectly safe to turn the ball mount upside down to gain more ground clearance. This is called using the ball mount in the rise position. It is recommended for your vehicle to use this ball mount in the rise position since the trailer hitch is low to the ground.

Something isn't wired up right on your 2009 Chrysler Town and Country. If this was a hardwire install where you had to tap into the taillight circuits of your vehicle I would double check that you have all of the connections made to the correct circuits. It really sounds like either you have a couple of the wires crossed or the wiring harness itself is just faulty which is pretty unlikely.
I attached an FAQ article on troubleshooting 4-way installs for you to check out as well. view full answer...
It sounds as if you have two separate issues happening, likely a poor ground for the trailer connector on the tow vehicle, as well as a broken or loose connection in the running light circuit on the trailer.
I'd first check the ground connection to the vehicle for the trailer connector on the tow vehicle. Make sure this connection is securely made to bare metal, and check that the connection isn't corroded.
Next, you'll want to track down the running light problem. Use a circuit tester... view full answer...
If the signal fuse is blowing on the 2007 Chrysler Town and Country then that could indicate a short circuit on the trailer. You will want to disconnect the trailer and inspect the trailer wiring starting with the trailer connector. Clean off any dirt and corrosion. Then make sure the main trailer connector ground is attached to a clean and corrosion free bare metal surface.
Then trace the wiring back to the tail lights. Look for any frayed or exposed wires that could be touching the metal... view full answer...
Thank you for your recent wiring harness purchase from etrailer.
This harness is a plug-and-play type that uses connectors, rather than all separate wires that need to be spliced, for most of its connections to your Town and Country's wiring. The plugs with the yellow wires connect at the driver's-side tail light and those with the green wire connect at the passenger-side.
The most common cause for the issue you describe is a simple one: a weak or marginal ground connection on the white... view full answer...
If you have five wires on your trailer with two browns, one for each side then you have a wishbone trailer wiring harness like the part # A35W42B. This harness will still only use four pins just like the 4-way on your vehicle trailer wiring harness because the two brown get tied together. In regard to the issue you are having with all lights flashing, this is most likely caused by a wire mix up therefore I recommend you check over both the trailer and vehicle side trailer wiring harnesses... view full answer...
The chance of receiving two faulty converter boxes is very low and we have not had any recurring complaints on trailer wiring harnesses for the Chrysler Town and Country or Dodge Grand Caravan minivans. A blown tail light fuse could indicate that the converter box has shorted out allowing power to back feed onto the tail light circuit. The main causes that we find for faulty converter boxes are short circuits on the trailer, excessive power draw, and faulty installations.

This is a fairly common issue with the Town and Country. However our suspension kits like # TDVRRT are not designed to work as a lift kit for the rear end of your truck. They are designed to help reduce the strain on your rear axle when you are carrying heavy loads, keep your vehicle level, and create a smoother ride by adjusting to the load size.
If you have a hitch on the back of your vehicle you can use # UF48-979020 to take the brunt of the impact.

This is so uncommon that it is the first time I have heard of this happening. The springs are very durable rubber and unless they were installed incorrectly, in the wrong place, the wrong system was used or they were severely overloaded, I cannot think of a way this would happen.
The system is meant to be installed on a vehicle with a suspension in good working order. So if there were stock suspension problems, the installer should have noticed that.

The only schematic that the manufacturer of wiring harness # C56331 provides is what is in the instructions which is to say not much. Everything else is proprietary information. But I can tell you how you would go about testing the wiring harness on your 2014 Chrysler Town and Country.
First, make sure that everything is installed including the fuse in the fuse holder and that the converter box is getting its power directly from the vehicle battery. If the fuse is blown that would be the... view full answer...
Thank you for your purchase of the Tow Ready T-One Trailer Harness, part # 118446, back in July of 2009. This part number is no longer active but the current equivalent that you reviewed, part # 118552, would install and operate in the same manner. I have linked a video showing the entire process in your same year/make/model vehicle.
First I suggest you have a helper on hand to confirm that all lighting functions on the 2008 Town & Country operate properly. With the trailer disconnected,... view full answer...
You will want to use an equivalent strength bolt and nut to the one that came off of your 2005 Chrysler Town and Country. As the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 75305 was designed with the factory hardware size and strength rating it is important to ensure that the replacement has the same or more strength than the original hardware so you will not have any issues with the receiver down the road. As the weld nut inside your frame is a factory component you might need to have... view full answer...
The cause of your blown fuse is most likely a wiring issue. The power wire that leads from the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness part # C56331 to the vehicle's battery will need to be inspected. If you like, you can just replace this wire with part # 10-1-1. This would be the main cause of the in-line fuse blowing but it could also be attributed to a short on another circuit as well so it will be best to check all of the wiring that relates to the trailer lights on both the vehicle... view full answer...
Check the fuse for the power wire in wiring harness # C56331 for your 2014 Chrysler Town and Country. If that fuse is blown or missing that would be why the harness is not working. Also make sure the white ground wire is attached to a bare metal surface; no paint or coating between the ground and where it is connected.
If that does not do the trick then you can test the converter to determine if it is bad. I have included a link to a video that shows how to do this. view full answer...
You have tested the converter on trailer wiring harness # 118552 correctly. Since there is the correct signal going into the converter but not coming out that indicates that the converter is bad and the harness will need to be replaced. The Tow Ready wiring harnesses have a 1 year limited warranty so based on the date of purchase you would be outside of that window.
The modern day wiring harnesses are very sensitive because the vehicle wiring on newer vehicles is sensitive. Because of... view full answer...
The Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # C56331 is a confirmed fit for your 2012 Chrysler Town and Country. When a specific light function does not work, while others do work, usually the ground is the culprit. It sounds like you have checked both the wiring harness ground at the vehicle and the trailer wiring harness ground at the trailer frame to make sure both are making solid bare-metal-to-bare-metal contact.
