• Troubleshooting A T-One Wiring Harness On a 2005 Jeep Liberty
• It sounds like you have a dead short on the tail light circuit that is contacting the left blinker circuit in the converter box on your Liberty. I would use a circuit tester, item # PTW2992 if needed, and check the wiring going into the converter box on the T-One wiring harness, after reconnecting the harness. You should have 5 wires to test (see video). The red wire should have power when the brake pedal is depressed. The green wire should have intermittent power when the right turn...

• Trouble Shooting Tekonsha Primus IQ Item # TK90160 On 2018 Jeep Wrangler JL With Factory Tow Package
• That is a great question and brake controllers can be nerve racking to figure out at first. The ( .c ) on the Tekonsha Primus IQ Item # TK90160 installed in your 2018 Jeep Wrangler means your trailer is connected but the boost feature is off. If it shows ( .c. ) then it means trailer connected with boost feature on. The 00 means you have the power control knob set to 0. You may also see this if you are sitting still applying the brakes. If you have the trailer connected and you hit the...

• Trailer Brake Lights Not Working with a 2002 Jeep Liberty
• Since the turn signals and brake lights are carried on the same circuits if the turn signals are working the brake lights should too. If they are not then it is likely a ground issue. Ground problems normally show up when there is more draw on a system such as when you have the running lights on and then use another function like a turn signal or brake light. Make sure that the vehicle side and trailer side connectors are clean and free of corrosion inside and out. The main connector grounds...

• Oil Filter Removal on 2012 Jeep Liberty with Curt C31020 Front Hitch
• I have seen this reported before and there is actually a note in the installation instructions on your Curt Front Hitch # C31020 where it talks about removing the oil filter and the interference with the front hitch. According to Curt, you must remove/discard the oil drip trough to allow full access to the oil filter for removal. I've linked a copy of the instructions for the Curt # C31020 hitch for you to have a look at, as well.

• Troubleshooting Trailer Turn Signals Coming on When Brakes are Pressed
• From what I can tell from your description it sounds like what you are going to need is a 2-to-3 converter, the Vehicle to Vehicle Tail Light Converter # C56196 in order to make sure when you hit your brakes the turn signals no longer go on. You are going to need Tail Light Isolating Diode System # 38955 as well in order to prevent power feedback. You will just need to ensure you install this system behind the 7-way on your trailer; I have added a link to a video review of this converter...

• Troubleshooting Brakes Not Working With Brake Controller on Jeep Grand Cherokee
• There is some troubleshooting I can help guide you with, and though you never mentioned what Tekonsha brake controller you have, I am going to assume it is the Voyager # 39510 because you mentioned the green light going on without your trailer connected. If this is happening that means the Voyager is picking up a load on the blue brake output wire. This could be a number of issues but I would start by taking a look at the connector on your Grand Cherokee. If there is corrosion on it,...

• Trailer Lights, Driver-Side Running and Parking Light Not Working on 2015 Jeep Wrangler
• Since you are able to get all of your vehicle lights working without the trailer connected, the issue is likely on the trailer wiring. First, check your trailer wiring ground connection for signs of a bad connection. Clean the area around your ground connection to get rid of any paint, corrosion, or other buildup. Make sure the ground wire is securely connected to bare metal on your trailer frame. Next check your trailer 4-way connector for any signs of corrosion on both inside and out,...

• Recommended Replacement Brakes for 5000-lbs Horse Trailer with 15 Inch Wheels
• If you've got 15 inch wheels on your horse trailer I believe you've likely got 12 inch brakes; you will want to confirm the capacity of your axle and the size of the hub and drums in order to make sure you get the right parts. To replace those, I recommend using the Electric Trailer Brake Kit - Self-Adjusting - 12" - Left and Right Hand Assemblies - 5.2K to 7K # AKEBRK-7-SA since they're a high quality self adjusting brake assembly; after the initial adjustments you won't need to do any...

• Troubleshooting Dim Tail Lights While Flat Towing A 2023 Jeep Gladiator
• The Smart Diode kit # RM47ZR you installed is designed for use with Gladiators that have ParkSense Proximity Sensors with LED lights. If you don't have these sensors or you have incandescent lights then that could be a possible cause for the dimness. For incandescent lights with proximity sensors you would need # RO94FR instead. The next thing to check would be the installation, start by tracing the wiring from the 6-pole socket back to the tail lights. I had someone come in with a similar...

• Troubleshooting Turn Signal Fuse Blowing on 2005 Jeep Liberty
• The turn signal fuse blowing will be either due to a bad ground wire connection on your turn signals or a short in the wire. I don't believe that the wiring harness would cause that issue, but you may want to check the ground wire on that to make sure you have a clean bare metal to metal connection there as well. I recommend unplugging your # 118524 harness from behind that tail light and seeing if that fuse blows without the connection. If so, then you know the short is on the vehicle...

• Troubleshooting Brake Controller that Locks Up Trailer Brakes when Connected
• Let's test the connections you made when you installed the Curt Brake Controller part # C24VV. Testing the brake controller is fairly easy. Sever the blue brake output wire near the brake controller leaving enough room to reconnect it and then apply the manual slide. Using a circuit tester like part # PTW2993, you should get output to the controller side of the wire you severed. If the manual slide activates the trailer brake output wire properly, try the brake pedal. If the brake pedal...

• Troubleshooting Brake Controller and Trailer Brake Issues
• If you are testing at the 7-way and everything tests fine, then the problem isn’t on the Jeep it’s on the trailer. If you are testing at the 7-way and it’s not good, then you need to test about 10 inches after the controller. If it’s good there, then the problem is between those points on the blue wire. If it’s bad there then the controller is shot. If it is the controller I recommend the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Trailer Brake Controller # 90195 which is a proportional brake controller as...

• Rattling TV Wall Mount in Winnebago Journey
• 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...

• Troubleshooting Roadmaster InvisiBrake Pulsing When Flashers Are Turned On
• This is definitely something that Roadmaster has seen occur with the Invisibrake # RM-8700, so there's nothing to fear. What you're experiencing should stop after a few cycles through with the hazards flashing and once the system learns that this isn't the brake signal it shouldn't happen again.

• Troubleshooting T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness, # C55050 Not Working on a 2008 Jeep Compass
• This may seem like an obvious suggestion but you will need to make sure the T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness, # C55050, is directly connected to the positive battery terminal on the vehicle via the included fuse and holder. Any other 12 volt source is not sufficient. Make sure the fuse is intact and fully inserted into the holder. If you have done this and followed all of the other instructions and there is still no power or signals coming through then there could be a problem inside...

• Troubleshooting Trailer Right Turn and Brake Light
• Since your 4-pole and 7-way vehicle connectors have correct signals and the trailer lights work properly when you hitch another tow vehicle, I suspect that there may be an intermittent problem in the wiring. This could still be on the vehicle side, or it could be on the trailer side. Older wiring can develop cracks and breaks inside the insulation that are not visible and sometimes the action of unplugging and plugging in a connector can make or break that circuit connection. A marginally...
