Expert Answers about Chrysler Aspen


  • Parts Needed to Add a Fully Functioning 7-Way on a 2007 Chrysler Aspen
  • To add a fully functioning 7-Way to your 2007 Chrysler Aspen, which will allow you to use your Tekonsha brake controller, you first need a 4-Way flat. If you do not already have one then I recommend installing the Tekonsha T-One # 118390 which T's into the existing wiring on your Aspen. Once installed, this kit will draw power from your battery which prevents the wiring on your trailer from affecting the wiring on your Aspen. Once you have a 4-Way installed you need to install the Universal...

  • T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness on a 2007 Chrysler Aspen No Longer Working
  • I would recommend you start by using a circuit tester like # PTW2993 and test the pins on your trailer connector while each function is activated. If you find that you are not getting a signal on the turn signal/ brake light circuits, use the tester to test the wires going into the converter box. If you have signal going into the box, but not exiting, the converter is bad and must be replaced. Before replacing the T-1 Harness, you'll want to carefully examine the wiring on your trailer....

  • Which Hitch, Trailer Wiring and Ball Mount are Recommended for a 2008 Chrysler Aspen
  • I think the best and easiest to install hitch would be part # 13296 from Curt. It has a 600 pound tongue weight and 6,000 pound gross towing weight capacity. The wiring kit for the Aspen is part # 118390. It will plug in between your vehicle wiring and the tail lights to grab all the right signals. You will neeed to run a single power wire up to the battery on the Aspen to provide an isolated power source. This allows more lights to be used on the trailer as well as preventing damage to...

  • Electric Radiator Fan Recommendations for a 2008 Chrysler Aspen with 5.7L Engine
  • Is the fan set up currently on your 2008 Chrysler Aspen belt driven? In any event you will need to determine if it is pushing air or pulling air. The fans that you have referenced, # D16927, and # D16919 are for puller applications only. What I recommend is going with the most CFM that you can in a fan or fans that will fit in the space provided. You do not always have to remove the factory set up in order to install an electric fan. You just have to make sure that the aftermarket fan is...

  • Locating Reverse Circuit for a Peak Wireless Backup Camera on a 2007 Chrysler Aspen
  • The only way to be sure which wire is the reverse light circuit is to test the wires with a circuit tester like part # 3808. Pull the tail light of, and have someone in the cab with the foot brake and emergency brake on, find the two wires that are hot. One will be the brake light the other, the reverse light. Put the car back into park and have someone depress the foot brake so you can determine which wire was brake and which was reverse.

  • Recommended Transmission Cooler for a 2007 Chrysler Aspen 5.7 Liter Hemi V-8
  • The transmission cooler # D13102 you referenced is recommended for compact cars although you can still use it. Checking the measurements of the potential area is key. I recommend you measure the space you have for installing a transmission cooler to gauge which cooler will fit best. Select the correct transmission cooler by determining where there is enough space to mount it. The best three positions to mount the transmission cooler in order. At Position A, where the transmission cooler...

  • How to Add Reverse Light Circuit to Trailer and Two Tow Vehicles
  • Thank you for all of the details! It sounds like you have one vehicle with a 4-Way, one vehicle with a 4-Way/7-Way combo, and a trailer with a 4-Way. You want to add the reverse light function to your trailer using a junction box setup like what we have with part # HS381-9000 and still be able to use the trailer with both vehicles. I like the idea of adding the junction box as well as taking your trailer 4-Way and integrating it into the box so that all of your connections are made in...

  • Replacement Trailer Wiring Harness Recommendation for 2008 Chrysler Aspen
  • Sounds like you have a shorted out trailer taillight converter. Any time we see one of the pins of a connector show voltage all of the time that indicates that box has shorted out most likely due to a short on the trailers wiring. Curt harnesses like the one you have part # C55597 are notoriously easier to short out than other brands. So what I would recommend you do is find and fix any short on your trailer's wiring and then install a # 118390 in place of it and you'll be good to go.

  • Wiring Differences Between a 2008 and 2007 Chrysler Aspen for T-One Harness Part # 118390
  • There should not be any difference in the wiring process between a 2007 and 2008 Chrysler Aspen. They use the exact same wiring harness so there should not be any differences. All the connectors will be in the same location and should be able to run the power wire to the battery in the same location.

  • 7-Way Adapter Wire Connection Pin Locations on 2009 Chrysler Aspen
  • It definitely sounds to me like you have the connections in the 7-way connector on your vehicle connected to the wrong circuits. From your explanation I believe you may have the ground wire connected to the circuit that you are calling the taillight circuit. Use a circuit tester, item # PTW2993 if you need one, and the wiring diagram (see link) for the 7-way connector car end and you should be able to get the wiring connected properly. When looking at the wiring diagram remember that you...

  • Forest River LED Trailer Light Replacements
  • For an LED version of the light you sent in a picture of you'd want the part # STL22RB with the grommet part # A70GB. I also attached an install video for this for you to check out as well. Since I am not totally sure what the other marker lights are we do have the LED part # MCL31RB which is 4 inch by 2 inch. For a standard roof vent to fit what you have currently we have the Ventline Ventadome kit part # V2094SP-30 which has a 12 volt fan in it. For interior lighting we have the...

  • Installation, Drilling and Trimming Required to Install a Trailer Hitch on a 2008 Chrysler Aspen
  • What our installers do when installing hitches on the Aspen, like your 2008, is to first get the hitch in position and attach the u-bolts that go over the vehicle bumper structure. Then, they use the hitch as a template and drill through the bumper structure from the back of the vehicle. Then they drill out the other side. The bumper structure is hallow so you do not have to drill all the way through. It is easier to get the holes lined up correctly this way. Take a look at the instructions...

  • What is the Best Trailer Brake Controller for a 2007 Chrysler Aspen
  • I would recommend the Tekonsha Prodigy P2, # 90885. It is easy to setup and easy to adjust when loads change. Brake controllers are not vehicle specific so any of the brake controllers you mentioned will do a good job. If you like the P2, then you will want to use the wiring adapter # 3020-P, that is confirmed as a fit for your Aspen. I am sure you will not be disappointed.

  • Recommended Replacement for Duo Therm 6300035.321 RV AC Unit

The # FR92PR AC unit is a perfect replacement for your older Duo Therm unit and since the air distribution box has a built-in thermostat, it's compatible with both ducted and non-ducted systems and no complicated wiring is required. It fits the same opening (14" square) and uses the same 110v. wiring of any standard...
