  • How to Install a Brake Controller on a 2009 Dodge Journey
  • Though I am not sure what the connector you are referring to is for, I can assure you that it is not for trailer wiring which means we would not have anything that plugs into it to operate the trailer lights. If you would like to add a 4-way trailer connector to your 2009 Dodge Journey then I recommend the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness part # 118474 which is almost completely plug and play. If the trailer has brakes then you will need a brake controller and a 4 to 7-way trailer wiring...

  • 2009 Dodge Journey Brake Controller Installation with a Factory 7-Way
  • The Mopar wiring harness includes the power line to the electric brakes. The wiring harness should be hard wired direct to the control module in the engine compartment. The brake wire may be tied off somewhere nearby as it does not get wired to the module. Another option would be to run the blue brake output wire from the Tekonsha P2 brake controller # 90885 to the brake output circuit of the 7-way. You could use the 10 Gauge Primary Wire # 10-1-1 for this. This is sold in 1 foot increments,...

  • Where to Access 12V Power for Installing Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness C56330
  • Powered 4-pole harnesses like the Curt # C56330 are designed for a direct 12V connection to the vehicle battery in order to isolate the car's own internal wiring from any potential fault conditions on the trailer. Although it seems simple and is tempting to consider using the auxiliary 12V power outlet in a car, those outlets usually cannot deliver the same amount of current that a direct battery connection can. Alternate installation would likely void the warranty. Vehicles like your...

  • How To Install Kat's Heater On a 2012 Dodge Journey with 3.6 V6
  • The correct engine block heater we offer for a 2012 Dodge Journey with the 3.6L V6 Engine is the Kat's Heaters Custom Fit Engine Block Heater part # KH11814. The engine block heater will be installed on the rear right hand side of the engine which you can see in the first attached photo. I have also attached for you in the second photo the installation instructions for the above block heater which I will admit are pretty generic but this is all that is provided by the manufacturer.

  • 4-Pole Trailer Wiring Harness Kits for 2017 Dodge Journey Crossroad
  • For the 2017 Dodge Journey that has LED-type tail lights we offer a powered 4-pole wiring harness kit, Tekonsha # 118536. This installs with plug-and-play taillight connectors that install at your tail lights and with a single wire for 12V power that needs to be run up to the engine compartment. Because your car has high-efficiency LED lights, its wiring can be thinner gauge than it would be for standard bulbs, and this means that this OEM wiring cannot handle the additional power drawn...

  • Installing Circuit Protected Modulite Converter on 2010 Dodge Journey
  • For your Dodge Journey, you could use the # C59496 you'd looked at, but there is a plug and play option available as part # 118495 that would be much easier to install. The Tekonsha # 118495 would plug inline between the vehicle's taillight wiring harnesses and taillight assemblies.. The install should only take a few minutes, as shown in the linked installation video.

  • Will Lippert Manual Pull-Out Step LC432690 Fit StarCraft 14RT Pop Up
  • If the mounting bracket width you have is 25.5 inches like you mentioned the # LC432690 that you referenced would be what you'd need. This would match up to that perfectly and would put the lowest step 25 inches from the RV frame.

  • Finding the Reverse Light Wires at the Back of a 2014 Dodge Journey
  • If you are installing a 5-, 6-, or 7-Way trailer connector (or a back up camera) on your 2014 Dodge Journey and the trailer either has an electric reverse lock out or reverse lights then the connection to the reverse light circuit on the vehicle will be necessary. But if you are installing a 4-Way or the trailer does not have an electric reverse lockout or backup lights (or you are not installing a camera) then the connection to the reverse light circuit on the vehicle is not required. In...

  • Does Draw Tite Hitch for 2014 Dodge Journey Replace Bumper Beam
  • The Draw Tite hitch part # 76225 does replace the bumper beam of your 2014 Dodge Journey. If anything the hitch is stronger than the beam so it would not make the vehicle weaker or more dangerous in an accident. Insurance would not be affected either.

  • How Does Tekonsha T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness 118495 Install In 2011 Dodge Journey?
  • The T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # 118495 you were looking at pulls power from your 2011 Dodge Journeys factory tail light wiring connectors, and does not require you to run a power wire from the harness to the battery of your vehicle. I was unable to find a wiring schematic showing where exactly the trailer fuse goes exactly. I included a video of the # 118495 for you to take a look at.

  • How to Tap Into the Reverse Light Wire on a 2013 Dodge Journey to Use a 4- to 5-Way Adapter
  • It looks like on the 2013 Dodge Journey the reverse lights are on the rear hatch and possibly also on the body structure with some of the other lights. If there are reverse lights on the body structure, then you will need to access the taillight wiring and find the wire that goes to the reverse light bulb and tap into it there. If the reverse lights are only on the light cluster in the hatch, then there should be a wiring harness at the top of the hatch going into the vehicle and you will...

  • Does Bumper or Rear Fascia Need Trimming to Install Trailer Hitch on 2013 Dodge Journey
  • The hitches available for your 2013 Journey would install so the receiver tube sits just below the rear bumper, as you can see in the provided photo. As you can see in the linked instructions and install video, no cutting or trimming of the bumper or bumper fascia is needed. I'd recommend going with the Draw-Tite Class III hitch, part # 75648. If you'll be towing with your hitch, you'll also need the following to complete your towing system: Trailer wiring harness, part # 118536 for...

  • Is an Installation Video Available for the Curt T-Connector Harness C56330 in a 2013 Dodge Journey
  • We have not had a vehicle here to allow us to produce an installation video for this particular wiring harness, Curt # C56330, in the 2013 Dodge Journey. However, since this is a plug-in harness its installation will be quite similar to that of many other comparable products from Curt and other brands. Please note that this harness works only with vehicles that have LED-type tail lights. It will not work with vehicles that have incandescent lights. Installation requires temporary removal...

  • Solution for Using Roadmaster Hitch Mounted Spare Tire Carrier at Rear Of RV with 1-1/4 inch Hitch
  • Since hitch adapters like what you have generally aren't rated for RV use and best case scenario cut the tongue weight capacity of the hitch they are installed in by 50 percent I would not recommend the use of a Roadmaster Hitch Mounted Spare Carrier part # RM-195225 with on. Better solution would be to install a 2 inch hitch on the RV (if it has a 4 inch square bumper), with a hitch like the part # E-100.

You should test each wire on the vehicle, with the included circuit tester, before making the connection to verify that you are connecting to the correct circuit for that wires function.

  • Does the Prodigy RF Brake Controller Need 12 Volt Power in 7-Way to Work
  • The Prodigy RF brake controller # TK94FR requires 12 volt power and the brake light signals to function in the 7-Way in order to work. On the 7-Way you have there should be a black wire which will be for 12 volt power. Using about 25 feet of wire # 12-1-1 (sold by the foot) attach one end to that black wire, route the wire under the vehicle, avoiding areas that can pinch or burn the wire such as suspension and exhaust components, and up into the engine compartment over near the battery. Under...

  • 12 Volt Brake Light Circuit Only to Install a Brake Controller and 7-Way on a 2012 Dodge Journey
  • When connecting something that needs a brake light signal, like a brake controller, it has to be a dedicated brake light circuit. This means that it cannot have any other function other than brake lights. The easiest location to access this is on the brake switch. Normally, the process to find the correct wire is to use a circuit tester like # PTW2993 and probe the brake switch wires until you find one that only has a brake light signal and not a signal that has brake lights and any other...
