  • Can The Custer Light Bar Transmitter Be Placed In The Towed Vehicle 7-Way
  • No, the Custer Wireless LED Tow Bar Light # LIW-LDTL-7B would have to be in the motorhome 7-way in order to receive the traffic signals from the motorhome and send them to the light bar. If it was in the towed vehicle you wouldn't get a signal at all since the vehicle isn't running and sending anything to the 7-way. The Blue Ox Patriot # BLU37TR would get its power from the battery of the towed vehicle. In most vehicles the 12v outlet loses power when the vehicle isn't running so you would...

  • Brake Controller Installation and Recommendation for a 1996 Ford Bronco
  • At this time we have not had he chance to video a brake controller installation on a 1996 Ford Bronco. I do have some information that will be helpful though. If your Bronco has a factory 7-Way connector at the rear of the vehicle or if you have a factory tow package there will be a plug along the left frame rail behind the rear bumper. If this plug is present then you can look for a brake controller connector under the dash above the transmission hump. This connector will match up to...

  • Can ETBC7 be Used to Install Curt Echo Mobile Brake Controller
  • We actually have a version of the # ETBC7 that we put together specifically with the Curt Echo Mobile brake controller part # C51180 in mind with the # ETBC7L which comes with just the components needed for the Echo. The ETBC7 comes with the same components plus additional ones that you won't need but if you have it already it can still be used.

  • It could be, however there isn't going t be a way to determine if that's the correct wire based off of the color.

Then you will need to press the brake pedal in and test each of the wires running to the brake pedal in order to determine which wire only illuminates when the pedal is pressed. This will be the correct brake signal wire you will...

  • Installation Tips For The Bestop Traditional Bikini Top On A 1970 Ford Bronco
  • Using a hair dryer on the channel # B51206 can sometimes help make a smoother transition for the Bestop Bikini Top # B5254201 but I wouldn't use any lubrications without reaching out to Bestop first to ensure that it won't have a negative reaction to the fabric. Vaseline would also allow dirt and debris to stick to it so it's best to avoid using lubrications like this. When installing fabrics into a c-channel I'll usually take a pair of needle nose pliers to the opening of the c-channel...

  • Why Does Curt 2024 Ford Bronco Trailer Wiring Need Power Wire Hooked to Battery
  • You will need to run a power wire from the Curt Powered Tail Light Converter # C59236 to your 2024 Ford Bronco battery. The power wire is what actually powers the lights on your trailer, while the other wires that you splice in to your Bronco are used as "triggers" to tell the converter when to send power to the various trailer lights. This not only protects your vehicle OEM wiring from trailer backfeed but it also keeps your circuits from getting overdrawn when all of the trailer lights...

  • Is It Ok To Install The Reese Friction Sway Control Kit # 83660 On A Residential Street
  • It really doesn't matter where you install the Reese Friction Sway Control Kit # 83660, you'll just want to install it on fairly level ground. If you installed it on a hill where the trailer was at a different angle than the tow vehicle then it would affect the effectiveness of the friction bar and either be too tight or too loose. Luckily this style of sway control is very easy to install and adjust by simply turning the handle.

  • The Pin for the Tow Bar Adapter Kit for an etrailer Tow Bar is Too Short to Go All the Way Through
  • I cannot locate an order for the etrailer Replacement Tow Bar Adapter Kit # e98978, but I do see that you have the etrailer XHD Non-Binding Tow Bar for Blue Ox Base Plates # e67ZR which already includes the Tow Bar Adapter Kit # e98978 installed. Not sure if that is the one you meant, or if you are trying to add an additional adapter thinking it is needed.

  • Tips For Finding Reverse Light Wire for Installing 7-way On 2023 Ford Bronco
  • The easiest place to tap into the reverse light circuit for installing the Hopkins Endurance # HM47180 on your 2023 Ford Bronco will likely be behind the taillights themselves, but the harder part will be finding the right wire. You'll need to have a friend sit in your Bronco with it running and in reverse (I'd put the parking brake on for extra safety) and have them hit the brakes as well, while you using a circuit tester like # PTW2993 to test the wires for the one that only gets power...

  • What All Is Needed to Install Curt Trailer Wiring on a 2024 Ford Bronco
  • The Curt Powered Tail Light Converter Kit # C59236 comes with everything needed to get it installed, but I do recommend picking up the Mounting Bracket # 18144 as well so you have a way to keep the 4-Way connector near your hitch receiver for easy access. If you're installing the Draw-Tite Hitch # DT37GR this bracket will connect to the extra tab that comes on the hitch, but if you're installing the Curt Hitch # C76WR you might need to secure the bracket to the rear fascia or tap it directly...

  • Does Gas Tank have to be Removed to Install a Trailer Hitch on a 1996 Ford Bronco
  • Since access to the frame is blocked on your 1996 Ford Bronco what you can do is fishwire in the bolts and spacer blocks by using a large enough access hole for the frame or, if no hole exists, you could make a hole through which to run the bolts and blocks using fishwire # 80101-1. I have linked a help article that has a section that explains fishwiring. Looking through the other hitches for your Bronco all of them attach to the bottom of the frame rails in the same manner so if fishwiring...
