  • Cargo Carrier and Hitch Bike Rack Solution
  • We have a solution that matches what you are looking for, but the Curt cargo carrier part # C18151 that you referenced does not have a hitch opening at the front of it for a bike rack to attach to. Instead you'd want the Hollywood Racks Cargo Carrier Bike Rack # HR1400Z-85 which comes with both a carrier and a bike rack. This can be used in three configurations. Bike rack only, cargo carrier only, and bike and cargo carrier.

  • Testing Tail Light Wires on a 2005 Saturn Vue Using a Multimeter to Install Trailer Wiring Harness
  • To test the tail light wires on your 2005 Saturn Vue using a multimeter you will first set the meter to read voltage. There should be several settings to test voltage but you want the lowest setting. Then you can either pierce the wires to test them or unplug the tail light and test the connector pins (if equipped). Have someone sit in the car and run through the light functions while you test the wires. The functions that power on should be near 12 volts and the others should not show...

  • Installation of Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver on a 2005 Saturn Ion
  • The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class I - 1-1/4" # C11447 is compatible with the 2006 - 2007 Saturn Ion Ion3 with 2.4L Engine and the 2004 - 2007 Saturn Ion Red Line. If you don't have the Red Line, the 2005 model won't fit with this hitch receiver. You will need to instead use the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class I - 1-1/4" # C11115 which is compatible with 2003 - 2003 Saturn Ion, 2004 - 2005 Saturn Ion excluding Red Line, 2006 - 2007 Saturn Ion excluding...

  • Can Camco RV Portable Propane Campfire Attach Directly to RV Propane Source
  • The Camco RV Portable Propane Campfire # CAM58041 has a built-in regulator so it can connect directly to your RV's high-pressure propane feed. My contact at CAMCO confirmed this is the preferred installation method. It comes with an 8 foot hose for you to use to connect to your RV. The part # CAM59143 does come with fittings that would allow it to be compatible with the fire pit as well.

  • Will Installing the Curt Class I Hitch # 11114 on the 2008 Saturn Sky Void the Vehicle Warranty
  • The Curt Manufacturing Class I Trailer Hitch Receiver with Drawbar, item # 11114, for your 2008 Saturn Sky, will not void the vehicle warranty as long as all of the towing limitations of the vehicle and the hitch are closely adhered to. There is a federal law called the Magnusson-Moss Warranty Act, which states that unless the modification to your vehicle, in this case the hitch, caused the problem your warranty must be honored. This being said you will need to use common sense precautions...

  • Does Exhaust have to be Lowered to Install Trailer Hitch on 2007 Saturn Aura XR with Dual Exhaust
  • The Curt trailer hitch # C12051 fits all models of the 2007 Saturn Aura including your XR with dual exhaust. Temporarily lowering the exhaust is not required but will make installation of the hitch a whole lot easier. I have included a link to the installation instructions for you. If you plan on doing any towing with the hitch the recommended ball mount is # C45522 with pin and clip # F-4. For a 1-7/8 inch ball use # 19256 and for a 2 inch ball use # 19258. And to add a 4-Way flat connector...

  • How Do Michelin Wiper Blades Attach to J-Hook Style Wiper Arms
  • I have a very similar Michelin wiper on my car that uses the J-hook style of attachment and I remembered that I had a hard time getting them to install as it seemed like the J-hook was too big. I eventually figured it out though, the hook goes around the entire pivoting assembly. I went out and took a picture of how it looks installed on my car to help you visualize what I am trying to say.

  • Installation Instructions for Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System # TGMRVUE for Saturn Vue
  • The Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System # TGMRVUE for the 2008 Saturn Vue requires temporary removal of the rear coil springs and permanent removal of the factory bump stops. This kit bolts on to your vehicle frame using vehicle-specific brackets. It is necessary to raise the rear end of the vehicle to allow the rear suspension to hang freely for the installation. I have attached the written installation instructions from Timbren; please note these make no reference to removal of...

  • Brake Controller Adapter Plug for 2008 Saturn Outlook
  • If you ordered adapter # 3026-P with the brake controller, then this is the correct plug for the 2008 Saturn Outlook. On some vehicles, there is an extra wire for illumination of the brake controller, just in case a particular brake controller requires it. As long as the brake controller works correctly when you plug it in, you are good to go.

  • How to Carry Womens or Step Through Bikes on a Hanging Bike Rack
  • The Swagman Trailhead # S63360 (And any hanging bike rack for that matter) will generally need a frame adapter bar for bikes that do not have a horizontal top cross tube like a traditional men's bike does. The same often goes for children's bikes. The Kuat Ubar Bike Frame Adapter Bar # UB01 is an adapter bar that will help you. It connects from the seat post to the handlebar stem to create that horizontal mounting point to carry bikes level on a hanging rack. Another option is a platform...

  • Roof Rack for 2008 Saturn Aura That Doesn't Require Drilling
  • It might be possible to bolt the feet kit part # RRRLT600 directly to a vehicle roof but since that's not how these were intended to be used it would not be my best recommendation. Your best option for a roof rack for your 2008 Saturn Aura would be the Inno part numbers # INB127, # INSUT, and # INK219 which attaches using door clamps instead. This gives you a very secure roof rack that does not modify the vehicle in any way. Drilling into the roof would pretty easily introduce leaks too.

  • Installing Hopkins Brake Force Brake Controller on 2006 Saturn Vue
  • The black connector on the end of part # HM47815 will work with your Brake Force controller. However, the white connector on the other end is designed to connect to various Toyota trucks and SUVs and will not plug into your Vue which does not have a connector under the dash for connecting a brake controller. The connector can still be used, but the white connector will need to be cut off. To install the controller in your Vue, it would need to be hardwired, using our Brake Controller Install...

  • Is Cutting Required to Install Trailer Hitch Receiver on a 2008 Saturn Vue
  • You should not have to cut anything to install Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch, part # 75556. The hitch receiver opening will sit just below the rear fascia. The only thing you may want to do is temporarily un-hook the exhaust from the hanger near the rear to make getting the hitch in place and installing the bolts easier. Other than that, this hitch is a straight-forward, no-drill install. I will include a link to the instructions so you can read through the process. I will also link you to a...

  • How to Route Roadmaster Tow Bar Wiring Harness Part # RM-154 in a 2007 Saturn Ion
  • The Roadmaster Tow Bar Wiring Harness Part # RM-154 requires that you locate holes through which you can pass the 4-pole RV connector wiring. It is usually possible to locate rubber grommets that already have wiring passing through them if you remove carpet and trim panels in the rear of the vehicle. The tail light wiring may also provide an access point; you can try removing the driver-side taillight assembly to see if there is a grommet you can use. Once routed to the underside of the...

  • Installation of Power Wire to Brake Controller and 7-Way Connector on Motor Home
  • The connection you will need to use is most likely the chassis connection in the case of the brake controller. You will want the connection that is hot at all times ran to the brake controller so that the trailer brakes can be operated at any time whether the ignition is on or not. The brake controller should be wired through at least a 20 amp circuit breaker, item # PK54520, and a 30 amp circuit breaker, item # PK54530, if the trailer has more than 4 brakes or the brake controller calls...

Black vehicle wire connects to white wire from brake controller. Dark blue vehicle wire connects to dark blue wire from brake controller. Light blue vehicle wire connects to red wire from brake controller. The remaining wire is for an illumination circuit which is NOT needed for the brake controller. The extra wire can be taped off and bundled up...

  • Does the Roadmaster Standard Base Plate Kit # 154-2 Come with Instructions for a 2000 Saturn SL2
  • Yes, the Roadmaster Standard Base Plate Kit, item # 154-2, comes with complete installation instructions for your 2000 Saturn SL2. You will need a tow bar to go with the standard base plate kit and I would recommend the RoadMaster Falcon 2 Tow Bar, item # RM-520, which will slides into the receiver on your RV. Wiring can be done in several ways, I would recommend the using the RoadMaster Tail Light Wiring Kit with Bulbs, item # RM-155, if there is space in the taillights to mount the extra...
