  • Troubleshooting Trailer Wiring Install Where all Circuits Are Active
  • If all of the circuits of your trailer harness are illuminating all of the time that would indicate that you did not wire up the harness correctly. It sounds like the problem is the taillight circuit you used for the harness. You would want to use the circuit that only sees voltage when the running lights are on and not one that is connected to the brake lights.

  • Weight Distribution Recommendation for a Saab 9-7X and a Coleman Pop-up Camper Trailer
  • First, you need to make sure that your Saab 9-7X has a 2 inch trailer hitch receiver. Weight distribution can only be used with a 2 inch trailer hitch. When choosing a weight distribution system, you will need to go by the tongue weight of the trailer when loaded and ready to tow and then add the the weight of anything loaded behind the rear axle of the tow vehicle. The Reese Steadi-Flex system, # 66557, would be good for a Coleman pop-up camper as long as the tongue weight is between...

  • Is the Thule Helium Aero Bike Rack Rust Proof and as Stable as Platform Bike Racks
  • The Thule Helium Aero, # TH9042PRO, features built-in anti-rattle and anti-sway cradles with road dampening technology so once properly installed and loaded it will be on par in terms of stability with platform style racks. Since the bike rack is made of aluminum and automotive grade plastics corrosion will not be nearly as much of an issue as it is with steel racks. Some of the internal components may be susceptible though. I recommend hosing off the rack with fresh water before storing...

  • Trailer Hitch and Wiring for a 2008 Saab 9-3 Convertible
  • Trailer hitches are custom designed to fit specific mounting points on a vehicle. If a hitch is not listed as a fit for your 2008 Saab 9-3 then it physically will not fit. Cost of a hitch will vary based on the design of the hitch and the amount of material used to make it. If you can tell me the hitch you are looking at that is similar I can determine how it is different from the hitches that are a fit for your 9-3.

  • Replacement Thule Fit Kit Recommendation for 2008 Saab 9-3 for Thule Aeroblade Roof Rack
  • Thule doesn't offer replacement parts for their fit kits like the part # THKIT3065 which is the correct kit to use on your 2008 Saab 9-3 with the bars # TH7601B-TH7602B. The reason they give us is that they get the kits directly from Sweden pre-assembled so they can't split them up for replacement parts. So you'd have to order a new fit kit then. The part you mentioned is actually for a bike rack so it wouldn't work at all.

  • Trailer Hitch for 2003 Saab 9-3 for Carrying Thule T2 XT
  • We actually only have a hitch for the 2003 Saab 9-3 between the two vehicles you mentioned with the part # C11326. Hopefully your version of the Thule T2 Pro is the one for the 1-1/4 inch size like part # TH23JV since there isn't a 2 inch hitch that fits your vehicle.
