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... view full answer...
The Derale Radiator Adapter kit # D13025 is intended to connect to 5/8-inch fittings in the radiator of your 2007 Mountaineer. These parts then allow hose connection to the supplementary cooler you're installing, such as Series 8000 Plate-Fin Transmission Cooler # D13504. Please refer to the linked review video that shows this cooler installed.
Please send along a photo of the harness end you are referring to and we can assist further. view full answer...
On the Firestone Coil-Rite Air Helper Springs - Rear Kit, part # F4107, the inflation valves need to be installed in a protected area that is easily accessible. You might check inside the trunk area to see if there is a place where the inflation valve can be installed. You will need to drill a 5/16 inch hole for the inflation valve. If you drill a hole in the trunk area I would recommend to use a sealer when installing the valve to keep exhaust fumes and debris from entering the trunk area.

I reviewed the installation instructions for Curt Class III Hitch, part 13650, and spare tire removal is not mentioned. You should be able to retain the factory spare in the original location on a 2005-2010 Mariner. I have added a link to the instructions below for you to review as well as a link to a basic pin and clip, part # PC3, and a basic hitch lock, part # e98880. view full answer...
We don't have a video showing the install of the Curt # 31650 on a 2010 Mercury Mariner, but we can still provide assistance. The installation is pretty straightforward, with the only twist being the need to use the included bolt leaders to pull some of the installation hardware into the frame.
I can link you to the installation instructions, as well as to a video that shows how to use a bolt leader to pull the installation hardware into the frame members. To install the hitch, you'll... view full answer...
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... view full answer...
The Curt trailer hitch receiver that fits the 1995 Mercury Sable is part # C12232 and it does not require any drilling to install it. The hitch you looked at, part # C11207, does not fit the Sable at all. It actually fits the Honda Civic and Acura EL from the late 1990s.
With the correct # C12232 hitch you also need to add a ball mount. The recommended one is part # C45522 with either the 2 inch hitch ball # C40018 or the 1-7/8 inch hitch ball # C40001. You also need a pin and clip,... view full answer...
The part you referenced, Curt T-Connector # 56073 for the 2004 Mercury Monterey, is a correct fit for vehicles that came equipped with the factory tow package. It plugs in under the vehicle's rear at the center.
If your Monterey does not have the factory tow package you will instead use TowReady harness # C56673 which comes with the needed relays to get everything working.
With either of these trailer harnesses installed your Monterey's tail lights will behave normally whether or not... view full answer...
Yes, the 4-Pole Hardwire Kit with Converter (Includes Tester), # 119178KIT, will work. It will work with LED lights on the trailer and/or on the tow vehicle. view full answer...
It sounds like you have a Class I hitch like the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11329 on your 2008 Mercury Milan. A Class I hitch like this will have a maximum gross trailer weight of 2,000 lbs and tongue weight of 200 lbs. You will also need to know the towing capacity of your vehicle and will be limited by whichever is lower. Assuming the weight of your boat and boat trailer do not exceed the capacity of your vehicle or hitch, you will be able to tow it. view full answer...
The # C59496 hardwire kit is a universal application, so I have linked the installation instructions below, but they are not going to be specific to your 2006 Mercury Montego.
To install the hardwire kit on your vehicle, you would use the included circuit tester to test the wires behind your vehicle tail lights for function. I would have a friend sit at the wheel and press the brake pedal or engage the turn signals as you test each wire behind your tail light. Once you have determined... view full answer...
Installation of the Curt Class III trailer hitch # 13707 that you referenced will require exhaust hanger modification on your 1999 Mercury Grand Marquis LS with dual exhaust. The hanger is essentially a steel rod that connects with a rubber shock mount to the exhaust. The steel hanger is what will need to be relocated. This is best done by a qualified welder and will allow enough clearance between the exhaust and the hitch. The process is not especially complicated but for safety reasons... view full answer...
First, you will need to gain access to the wiring behind each taillight. Next, ground the white wire to the sheet metal in the trunk near the left taillight. Then using the circuit tester that comes with the Upgraded Circuit Protected Taillight Converter Hardwire Kit, # 119178KIT, find the wire on the driver side that carries a signal in unison with the left turn signal. Attach this wire to the yellow wire on the harness.
Next, find the wire that carries a constant signal when the brake... view full answer...
If your 2005 Mercury Mariner has side curtain air bags then you will want to install tracks # THTP54 further in (towards the middle) on the vehicle roof to avoid interference. The wiring for things like the dome light are more or less in the center of the vehicle so you would not worry about that unless you wanted to put tracks in the middle of the roof.
To avoid drilling you could use a custom roof rack using the following parts:
CrossBars # INB137
Feet # INSUT
Fit Kit # INK193 view full answer...
First of all you're correct, that isn't the normal way to connect a tow vehicle to a motorhome and I don't recommend it since that isn't how the tow bar or base plates are designed to be used. Instead you should connect them and then drive the motorhome forward making an S curve, when possible, to lock the tow bar's arms. But I think you already know this.
I looked up your order and you're using the Roadmaster Invisibrake, part # RM-8700, and the Roadmaster Brake-Lite Relay, part # RM-88400.... view full answer...
We carry two Class III trailer hitch receivers that will fit your 2004 Mercury Grand Marquis. A Curt, # 13707, and a Draw-Tite, # 41116.
Both of them are basically the same style and the only thing you'll see under the car's bumper is the receiver opening and safety chain loops.
Between the two I recommend the Curt because it has a little higher weight capacity than the Draw-Tite. But for appearance purposes they'll basically be the same. view full answer...
The Derale Series 8000 Plate-Fin Transmission Cooler Kit, # D13503, would be a great choice for your 1994 Mercury Grand Marquis, as long as there is room in front of the radiator and ac condenser for the cooler to mount. Measure to be sure before purchasing, but most likely you will have plenty of room.
The best tip I can give is to do some research on your vehicle. Check the radiator fittings and see if there are NPT (national pipe thread) fittings or Inverted flare fittings. Your vehicle... view full answer...
You made a great choice! The e2 Weight Distribution Hitch, # FA94-00-1000, is a sturdy system that has 2-Point Sway Control and comes with a 10-year warranty. The unique design of this system does allow you to back up without having to disconnect the sway bars.
Don't give your friends a hard time, though. Many weight distribution systems have independent friction sway control devices that do require you to get out of your vehicle and remove the device prior to backing up. Your e2 system,... view full answer...
You should not have to remove any body panels to install Curt trailer hitch # 13707 on your 2008 Mercury Grand Marquis. I have included a link to the installation instructions and a video showing installation for you to view.
If you plan on doing some towing I recommend etrailer ball mount kit # EBMK4EL. It comes with an extra long ball mount (a long ball is required on this vehicle due to the position of the hitch), interchangeable ball set, hitch pin with clip, and a storage bag.

I have a wiring kit that will allow you to install a brake controller on your 2008 Mercury Mariner, but it will not be the Tekonsha Plug-In Wiring Adapter, part # 3035-P, you have referenced.
The Mariner will not be able to use a plug-in wiring harness. It will require you to hardwire the brake controller to your vehicle.
Since you already have a 4-Way connector on your vehicle you will just need the Brake Controller 7 and 4 Way Installation Kit, part # ETBC7. This kit provides a 7-Way... view full answer...
