• Easy to Install Brake Controller for 2008 Mercury Mountaineer with 4-Way Trailer Wiring Harness
• As long as the hitch has enough towing capacity for the camper you plan to tow it's totally fine if it's a 1-1/4 inch hitch. Most Class II hitches would have enough capacity for a 2,800 lb trailer. I have a great brake controller solution that will easily be transferred to your new vehicle as well. So the easiest to install brake controller that also works really well is the Curt Echo Mobile part # C51180. Basically this just plugs into an active 7-way and once you sync it to your phone...

• Recommended Wiring Harness For 1997 Mercury Sable Wagon
• For your 1997 Mercury Sable Wagon, the wiring harness you need is part # C55343. This harness plugs directly into the Sable wiring with no cutting or splicing. You simply plug it into the connection points behind the tail lights on your vehicle. You will need to remove the tail light assemblies to access the plug-in harness. When working with electrical connectors I recommend using dielectric grease like part # 11755. This keeps dirt and moisture out of the electrical connections and...

• Troubleshooting Trailer Lighting # 118551 Wiring Harness Installed on 2009 Mecury Mariner
• Locating your problem will require some troubleshooting. You will first need to determine if the problem exists with the vehicle wiring or with the trailer wiring. Typically, the problem occurs on the trailer. To rule out the vehicle, start by using a circuit tester like part # PTW2993 on the trailer connector on the vehicle, as each function is being operated. Have a helper activate the left turn signal, then test the pin on the connector that corresponds with the yellow wire. Activate...

• Can a 250 Pound Honda Scooter Be Carried on the Back of a 2006 Mercury Mountaineer
• I have heard from other customers that Ford/Mercury has a 2 inch trailer hitch (the opening is 2 inches) but calls it a Class II. But if the opening is 2 inches wide then a 2 inch accessory will fit. But to use the Ultra-Fab carrier # UF48-979033 the trailer hitch would have to have a tongue weight capacity of at least 500 pounds. The hitch on your 2006 Mercury Mountaineer is likely rated for 350 pounds tongue weight at most. All of the motorcycle carriers have a similar requirement so...

• Troubleshooting Trailer Left Side Turn Signal Not Working with 2004 Mercury Monterey
• The intermittent function of the left side turn signal on your trailer with the Curt T-Connector Wiring Harness # C56673 installed on does sound like the result of a loose connection or a bad/weak ground. The first thing I recommend doing is using a circuit tester like # PTW2993 to test the 4-Way connector on the Monterey. Test each pin while you have a buddy run through the light functions in the van. If all the pins receive appropriate power with the corresponding light function activated...

• Can Timbren Axle Less Systems be Used on Tandem Axle Trailers
• You can use Timbren Axle-Less Trailer Suspension Systems like the part # A35RS545 in a tandem axle setup but I would not recommend running this axle with a standard trailer axle at same time. You'd want to run two of the Timbren axles to ensure proper weight distribution. Also the center point between the two axles would need to be where your current axle is right now.

• Options for Installing a J-Stacker Kayak Rack on a 2008 Mercury Mariner
• Yes, If your 2008 Mercury Mariner has the factory cross bars that run from side to side on the top of the vehicle, the SportRack J-Stacker Kayak Carrier - Roof Mount, item # SR5511, will work on your vehicle. The J-Stacker will work on factory cross bars up to 3-1/2 inches diameter. If your vehicle has factory side rails that run front to back, without cross bars, you will need cross bars.

The mounting hardware the Space case uses will have no...

• If there is power running to your brake controller, then brake and 12 volt power wire are most likely ran to the rear of your 2008 Mercury Mountaineer. If you follow the wires from the 4 way flat connector on your vehicle, then they should lead to a connection point. You will see 7 wires coming from the front of the vehicle into one side and only 4 wires coming out of this connection point for your 4 way flat connector. If you have this connection point, then you can pull back the plastic...

• Before buying snow tire chains, you will want to check your owners manual or with the Mercury dealer to determine if you can install snow tire chains on your Mercury Montego, or if there are any limitations.

Since your vehicle is front wheel drive you will want to install them on the front tires. These...
