The anti-rattle device part # HE6001 that you referenced has been confirmed as a fit for your Advantage SportsRack glideAWAY Bike Rack. Most likely what is happening is that the threads of your bike rack are dirty or rusty and need to be cleaned out so that the bolt will thread into it.
I attached a help article that details how to do this in a similar situation for you to check out.
If the rack's original anti-rattle bolt still will thread into the rack then you will want to compare... view full answer...
What does the brake controller show in your vehicle? Does it look like it's powering on? If not, check wiring of it and fuses related to it. If so, then I would try cleaning pins of the 7-way connector on the truck and trailer as it's most likely just a dirty pin that's preventing connection and activation. view full answer...
The problem you are having is a classic ground issue. If the ground wire to the trailer frame or the tail light grounds are not connected securely to clean, rust and paint free surfaces then when the headlights are turned on the extra amperage draw for the running lights will cause all sorts of lighting issues.
I would start by removing the ground wire at the trailer coupler and cleaning up the connection point and re-securing it to the trailer frame. Next I would check the ground connection... view full answer...
When trailer lights are malfunctioning, there are many possible causes. As a first step, you will want to use a circuit tester such as part # PTW2993 and test the trailer connector on your Grand Cherokee. This will help you determine if the problem exists with the trailer or with the vehicle. Test each pin as its function is activated. If you are not getting current at the right or left turn/brake light pins, you will want to check the tow package fuses if your Grand Cherokee was equipped... view full answer...
What you can do is test the pins of the wiring harness that you plugged the # 20119 into on your 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee with a circuit tester like part # PTW2993 to test for voltage when the turn signals are on.
If you can't find any pins on the connector that show intermittent voltage when the blinkers are on then it most likely is a programming issue you would need to take the vehicle to a Jeep dealer for. view full answer...
If you are getting power to everything on the vehicle side, you will need to check a few things on the trailer. First and foremost will be the grounds. This should be done for every light and if they are LED lights, each should have its own designated ground connection that is not stacked with other grounds. This is a fairly common practice, but can cause some issues and it is better for each ground to have its own connection.
Next you will need to check the wires coming out of the 7 Way... view full answer...
A 5-way will have the following functions: left turn and stop, right turn and stop, running lights, auxiliary, and ground. If everythying is working except for one function there are a number of potential issues you will need to troubleshoot for. you will need to use a circuit tester such as # PTW2979 to test the connector on your tow vehicle after disconnecting it from your trailer. Check the wiring going into your harness from your tail lights to see if those wires are carrying the correct... view full answer...
Thank you very much for your purchase from etrailer of the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness - 7-Way and 4-Pole Flat Connectors # C55774 for your 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee with the factory tow package. There are a number of troubleshooting steps you can take to try and find the issue since your trailer's turn light signal is not working.

Yes, it is possible for the Frame Brackets # C17508 to sag on your Curt TruTrack 2P Weight Distribution System # C69JR. Even the Trunnion Spring Bar # C17536 can begin to warp over time from the weight. While Curt does give this weight distribution a lifetime warranty against manufacturer defect this type of stuff is considered normal wear and tear from being used. view full answer...
It sounds like you may not have the tow package on your 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee, you should head to your dealer and have them reflash your bcm so that you have all functions of your trailer connector.
If you do have a tow package the first thing you will want to do is use a circuit tester like our part # PTW2993 and test the functions of the 7-way to determine if the problem is on the vehicle or the trailer side of the setup. Check out the video I attached that shows how this is done.

Yes, the MORryde Wall RV TV Mount - Fixed item # MR28ZR has a lot of movement in it based on how you have to install it. I have linked a video and if you watch it around the 1:44 mark you will see how the top connection point between the wall mount and the tv bracket is a simple hinge that is not bolted together like the bottom. This will provide a lot of side by side movement that causes rattling when your Winnebago is driving down the road. Throughout the video you can hear it rattling... view full answer...
There could be a few reasons why this is happening. The first thing I want you to do is go ahead and disconnect the trailer. Then use a circuit tester, like # PTW2979 if needed, to test the wires leading into the converter box for harness # 118349. Run through all the functions of the vehicle (left/right turn signals, brake lights, and running lights) while testing the wires.
If the signals are not correct going in there that indicates a problem with the vehicle wiring that will need to... view full answer...
It sounds like you are on the right track with the ground problem.
Check your trailer connector on the Grand Cherokee, and make sure the white wire is grounded to the frame of the vehicle.
Even though your trailer works fine when connected to your truck, you still might have a weak ground on the trailer. It is not unheard of that a given trailer will work fine with one vehicle, but not with another.
Check the grounding point where the white wire from the connector attaches to the trailer... view full answer...
Thank you again for your purchase from etrailer of the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # C56009, and if turning on the headlights causes other lights to go out the issue is almost always a bad ground. Check to make sure your ground is attached to a bare metal surface free of any paint, dirt or corrosion. I have also added a link below to a help article on trailer wiring troubleshooting I highly recommend checking out. view full answer...
If the running lights don't work on your trailer then there are a few different things to check. Typically light malfunctions are the result of a bad ground so I definitely recommend starting off by checking the grounds on your trailer running light circuit to ensure they are all securely connected to a clean, bare-metal surface.
After checking your grounds if you are still having problems then it is best to use a circuit tester like part # PTW2992 to test the Curt T-Connector # C55384... view full answer...
I reached out to my contact at Curt and the DC flashing on your Curt TriFlex Trailer Brake Controller # C24VV is showing that your trailer is disconnected from the brake controller. This code is telling you that there is an issue between the contoller and your trailer brakes, that there is a short somewhere. This could be corrosion at the connection, a nick in the wire somewhere or a short on the trailer itself.
I recommend checking your controller first. Using an incandescent circuit... view full answer...
Low voltage at the AC power inlet but not at the outlet would indicate you have a wiring issue. I would first check the wiring for any damage or bends in the wiring and if no damage is present then you need to upgrade the wire gauge used to negate the voltage drop. I have attached a chart to help you determine the gauge needed depending on the length your wire is being ran.
If this doesn't not solve your issue please reply back and we can keep troubleshooting. view full answer...
I looked up your owner's manual online and the 12V power issue is likely a fuse issue. You will want to check the 30amp fuse number 16. This will be in the power distribution box under the hood. view full answer...
Trailers in the US have combined brake lights and turn signals meaning the brake light signals and turn signals are sent on the same wire, one on each side. Since the turn signals are working that indicates to me that you potentially have a blown stop light of CHMSL fuse (CHMSL stands for center high mount stop lamp).
It could also be a fuse or relay associated with the tow package wiring. You will need to use the vehicle owners manual to find the fuse and/or relay locations for the stop... view full answer...
It's pretty common on the 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee to have the dealer activate the tow package port due to trailer lights not working after the installation of a trailer wiring harness like a Reese Multi-Plug Wiring Harness for Factory Tow Package part # 74682. The fuses are always the first thing to check but if you still don't have proper function you will need to take the vehicle into the dealer for service. view full answer...
