- Troubleshooting Dying Vehicle Batteries after Tekonsha Battery Charger Install
- There could be a number of issues could be causing the problem you are experiencing. Since you said your truck batteries were dead after only 2 minutes of the # 2024-07 being installed and the fact that when your truck is turned off there is no 12 volt supply to the charger I suspect that the problem is on your truck.
You could have your battery and alternator tested at an auto parts store, most places will do that for free. Another option you have would be to remove the # 2024-07 and...

- For starters, we need to rule out the Tekonsha Prodigy P2 Trailer Brake Controller part # 90885 as part of the problem. In order to do this you will need to sever the blue brake output wire just behind the brake controller and then test it with a multimeter with neither the brake pedal or manual override applied. If you show any voltage here then the brake controller is faulty and will need to be replaced.
If the multimeter reads zero with the above steps then I would bet you have a short...

- First, it is possible that the harness is miswired and you would need to switch the black and blue wires on the small black connector. If this does not work then there are some other things to look at.
Some Nissan vehicles will require an additional relay in the in-cab fuse panel that you can get from a dealer to make the wiring harness fully functional. However I have not heard of this being an issue on the Frontier so there could be something else going on.
First, lets focus on the...

- Usually when a brake controller does not work with the brake pedal that indicates a problem on the red wire. The connection at the red wire will need to be examined and possibly reconnected. You may also have a blown stop light or CHMSL fuse that you can change. Use the vehicle owners manual to find the fuse locations.
If everything checks out with the vehicle including power to the brake controller along the red wire when you step on the brake pedal then there is a problem inside the...

- According to Curt, if your Xterra does not have the full tow package installed, the # 118263 will install, but as you have found, the trailer tail lights will not function. It sounds as if your Xterra does not have the factory tow package.
For the Xterra without the tow package, we recommend either the Curt # C56225 which includes the sub harness and relays (which unfortunately, are not sold separately) or the Hopkins # 43605 that taps inline with the factory harness connection to the...
view full answer... - Curt Triflex Trailer Brake Controller Shows Power All the Time on Blue Wire
- You should only be seeing 12 volts on the blue wire on the brake controller, # C24VV, when the manual override is used. If there is constant power all the time then there is either something that is miswired or a problem inside the controller and it will need to be replaced.
Brake controllers do send back a minimum amount of voltage to check for a connected trailer but it should not be enough to activate the brakes.
In the truck cab you will need to sever the blue wire several inches...

- If your 2005 Nissan Titan came with a tow package and a factory installed 7-Way trailer connector then it may be easier to use a simple adapter, like # PK12716, to go to a 4-Way.
If your truck did not come with a 7-Way at the back, then you would probably need to add some relays, # C57000, to make the wiring fully functional. The relays are required for trucks that did not come with a factory tow package.

- It is very likely that the reason you aren't getting any power, and the turn signals and brake lights are not working on your 2018 Nissan Pathfinder with the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118670 is due to a faulty relay. You mentioned the fuse was good but there should be a pair of blue relays that are for the turn signals/brakes in the same box on the driver's side by the headlight. I added a photo showing this box with the relays.
What should fix the issue is by replacing the relays,...
view full answer... - Is Play Between Hub and Axle on Trailer Normal
- If the tires on your CE Smith Multi Sport Boat and Kayak Trailer # CE48810 have some play then that would definitely be contributing to what you're hearing. If the lugs are tight then this means that your spindle nut needs to be tightened down as you shouldn't be able to see any movement with your hub.
Tighten your spindle nut until you don't have anymore play and then back it off to the next notch. This should take out the play you have found as well as the weight noise you are hearing.

- The red light being on when you press the brakes is normal for the Tekonsha PowerTrac Electronic Brake Controller # 39523, and the green light should be on when you have a trailer connected. If it is not on then, and only when the headlights are on with your Frontier, it sounds like you have a short or a connector on your trailer that is possibly corroded, which can interfere with the signal and only get the power needed with the added amperage of the headlights being on.
I recommend checking...

- I thought this one over for a while and could not come up with a definite solution. I asked our installer and he has not had the opportunity to install a harness on this vehicle yet. I then jumped on the internet and found a couple of interesting notes on the 2006 Armada. Apparently there is a relay socket under the dash just to the left of the steering column. Since your vehicle did not have the towing package installed at the factory this relay was not installed and will be needed to...

- In regards to the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness part # C56401, there are a few different parts to the installation. The first part entails the relay wiring harness and three relays, two blue and one brown. These will install in the rear cargo area on the driver side. This usually actives the towing circuits but if not then there will be an extra two blue relays that must be installed in the engine bay fuse box.
If the above was done and there are still no lights, you'll have...

- There are a couple tests that need to be done to determine if there is a wiring issue on your 2010 Nissan Armada with the Curt TriFlex Trailer Brake Controller # C24VV. With your trailer brakes locking up as soon as the trailer is connected it leads me to believe that the brake switch is sending power when it should not.
The red wire in the Curt Custom Wiring Adapter # C51382 should only see power when the brake pedal is depressed. You can use a Test Light # PTW2992 to test this wire...
view full answer... - Hayes Engage Trailer Brake Controller Shows bF Error Code
- The error codes shown on the Hayes Engage Trailer Brake Controller part # HA81760 can be easily deciphered by looking at the owner's manual. Per the manual, "bF" indicates the blue wire is connected to wrong place, short in wiring / connector, faulty or disconnected breakaway switch. The blue wire is the brake output wire that runs from the brake controller to the 7-way and then from the 7-way to the braking assemblies. Therefore, I recommend tracing this wire to ensure there are no shorts...

- There are a couple of options you can do to attempt to free up the arms on your Roadmaster Falcon All Terrain, Non-Binding Tow Bar # RM-522.
What you can do is try and spray the arms with a degreaser, then move the arms in and out and rise with some water.
After rinsing the arms, you are going to need to dry them thoroughly and spray a dry silicone on the arms.
If that does not work, I recommend using the repair kit; the Roadmaster Repair Kit for Falcon Towbars # RM910003-52.

view full answer... - What Does Green Light On All the Time Indicate for Tekonsha Voyager
- The green light on the display of the Tekonsha Voyager part # 39510 indicates that a trailer is connected. If you are seeing this all the time on the controller that would indicate that you most likely have some corrosion on the pins of your trailer wiring connector which is tricking the controller into thinking a trailer is connected. This is a very common issue so I'd almost guarantee it's the issue.
I attached a help article on brake controller troubleshooting for you to check out as well.

- Since you have tested your trailer with another truck you have eliminated the trailer as a source for the malfunction. The Curt harness you reference, part # C56225, includes two separate assemblies; one that attaches to the connector behind the passenger-side kick panel (and you note this connector is absent from your vehicle) and the other that connects underneath the vehicle at the frame rail. This second harness terminates with a vehicle-specific connector on one end and the standard...
view full answer... - Can Electric Trailer Brakes Interact with Hydraulic Brakes on 2012 Nissan Armada
- Your trailer's electric brakes do not interact with the hydraulic brakes on your Armada. The two systems are entirely separate from one another. If the brakes on the Armada are in good working order the only way that they would heat up from towing is if the trailer brakes were not working and the Armada's had to do all the work of stopping both the vehicle and the trailer. You would probably feel this when you slowed the vehicle as the trailer pushing into the back of the SUV.

view full answer... - Trailer Brakes Locked Up, Brake Controller Blue Wire Shows Constant 14 Volts
- It sounds like there is an internal issue with the controller and/or a short on the brake output wire. The easiest thing to check would be the vehicle side trailer connector. Corrosion can cause a short causing constant power draw on the blue wire. Make sure the connector is clean and free of corrosion inside where the wires attach and outside on the pins.
You can also inspect the wiring as far as you can under the Pathfinder. Check for damaged wires with copper touching bare metal.

- On a vehicle's 7-way trailer socket like # 37185 the power for the trailer's electric brakes is carried on the pin at the 5-o-clock position, as shown in the photo I linked for you. If you have a 7-way and trailer brake controller that have suddenly stopped working, we can help you troubleshoot.
If the controller has power and appears to function normally then the issue could be something as simple as a bit of foreign material, water or corrosion inside the trailer socket on the vehicle....
