• Routing Trailer Wiring Harness # 118482 Power Wire to the Battery on a 2011 Toyota Camry
• When routing the power wire to the battery in trailer wiring harness, # 118482, you will want to avoid any areas that may pinch the wire, causing it to break. Any moving components like the suspension can potentially pinch the wire, so avoid moving parts. You will also want to avoid parts that get hot enough to melt the wire. Exhaust components as an example get very hot and can melt the insulation. However, on the 2011 Toyota Camry, the battery should be in the trunk and you will not...

• Tip to Use Curt Trailer Wiring Kit C34FR on Hybrid Model
• We had one customer who moved some wires on their Curt # C34FR harness to allow it to work on the hybrid models of the vehicle. Here's what they tried that worked for them: "After a little investigation with a meter I noticed the wire for the right/left turn signals coming off the two pass thru connector sets did not line up with the wire connected to the blinker on the car. I cut and re-soldered the wire so on the right side/passenger side the tap off wire matched the car blinker wire...

• Where to Attach Lower Cable Hooks when Mounting a Thule OutWay Trunk Bike Rack on 2009 Toyota Camry
• When installing the Thule OutWay bike rack, # TH45JV, on a 2009 Toyota Camry you should place lower hooks in the bottom edge of trunk or hatch. The top hooks are placed in the gap at the front edge of the top of the trunk, hatch or door. The lower arm of carrier should be positioned on the upper tier of the bumper. We have a video on the OutWay, see link, being installed on a VW Jetta that is very similar to the installation procedure for your Camry.

• Why is the Support Bracket on the 2011 Toyota Camry SE Not Reinstalled with Draw-Tite Class II Hitch
• The drivers side bracket is not reinstalled with the Draw-Tite Class II Trailer Hitch, # 36416, because the bracket will not fit once the trailer hitch is in position. I spoke with my contact at Draw-Tite and he says once the hitch is installed, the end plate and vehicle frame do not lose support. He said the trailer hitch ties into both end plates and the trunk pan so the support bracket is not needed. If you would like a trailer hitch that will mount to the end plate and the vehicle...

• Installing Trailer Wiring Harness Part # 119179KIT on 1995 Toyota Camry
• The Curt Wiring Harness, part # C55358 is designed to work with the Camry beginning with the 1997 model year. I know of no way to adapt the harness to work with your 1995 Camry. In all likelihood, the connectors that the Curt harness would attach to are not present in your vehicle, or are different enough that the connectors on the harness would not match. For the 1995 model year, the Circuit Protected Modulite part # C59496 is recommended. This harness draws its voltage directly from...

• Comparing Trailer Hitch Aesthetic for 2014 Toyota Camry
• The trailer hitches available for your 2014 Toyota Camry all have essentially the same design, they will hang down from the frame and a crosstube will run behind the hitch receiver from one bracket to the other. I have measured these hitches in the past and found that the Curt # C12107 hangs down a little more than 1/2 inch further than the Draw-Tite # 36540. Another thing to consider when choosing a hitch, is that the Curt hitch has a round crosstube, while the Draw-Tite has a square...

• Installation of Block Heater on 2014 Toyota Camry SE V6
• The Kat's Heaters Custom Fit Engine Block Heater - Cartridge Style - 120V - 400 Watts # KH11813 is the correct fit and will install in the front left (FL) position of your 2014 Toyota Camry 3.5L V6. I've attached a video of the installation on a 4Runner to help as it has the plug install in the same location. The I4 engine would install in the rear left location, but the V6 is in the front left.

• Installing Kats Heater KH11813 on 2016 Toyota Camry 2.5L
• To install the Kat's Heaters Custom Fit Engine Block Heater # KH11813 you will simply need to locate the cartridge hole on the engine block. After you find the cartridge hole you will want to clean it out with an air compressor. I spoke with my contact at Kat's Heaters and it will be located at the Rear Left location on your engine block. If you are sitting inside your Camry the it will be the rear (towards you) left corner from that orientation. Once that is done you will want to make...

• Which of the Available Trailer Hitches for a 2002 Toyota Camry are Installed Above the Exhaust
• You are correct. The larger capacity hitches for the 2002 Toyota Camry do go under the exhaust. The smaller capacity hitch goes above it. With a gross trailer weight of 825 pounds, any of the available hitches will be able to handle your boat and trailer. However, you never know what you might want to tow or carry in the future and the higher capacity hitches will allow for more possibilities, like carrying a bike rack. I recommend the more economical Class II hitch, the Draw-Tite...

• Does Heat Shield have to be Trimmed to Install a Trailer Hitch on a 2017 Toyota Camry
• It is possible that you may not have to trim the heat shield to install trailer hitch # 36540 on your 2017 Toyota Camry. As long as the hitch installs correctly and is contact with the frame (which means nothing is sandwiched between the hitch and frame) then you will be good to go. If you will be doing any light towing with the hitch the recommended ball mount is # 36071. For compatible balls you can use # 19256 for a 1-7/8 inch ball or # 19258 for a 2 inch. And for trailer wiring you...

• Is Drilling Required on Installation of Trailer Hitch For 2012 Toyota Camry

• Do Holes have to be Drilled in 2014 Toyota Camry if Trailer Hitch is Just for a Bike Rack
• I cannot recommend installing Draw-Tite trailer hitch # 36540 on your 2014 Toyota Camry in any other way other than what is specified in the instructions. If you do it will void the hitch warranty and actually makes the capacity unknown (since it isn't tested in that manner). You also have to consider stability of the hitch. Without all of the fasteners the hitch could move and flex more than it is supposed to and that could damage the hitch and vehicle. The instructions state that a 1...
