Thank you for your purchase directly from etrailer of the Redarc Tow-Pro Elite Brake Controller # RED44FR. I can only guess as to the issue but can give you a bit of direction; when you disconnect the controller from your Colorado do the brake lights stay on? If they do, you can rule out the # RED44FR being faulty, and it is likely the 12 volt wire and stoplight switch wiring from the controller are shorting out to each other.
Also, it is possible the brake controller was not wired correctly... view full answer...

In my opinion, since you already have the OEM hitch on your vehicle, I would not replace it with a square tube hitch, especially if you aren't having any issues with towing. Consumers tow everyday using a weight distribution hitch with a round tube hitch and do just fine.
I consulted with my contact at Cequent, the parent company of Hidden Hitch, Draw-Tite, and Reese, to get their opinion as well and basically the round tube is going to be a little less resistant to torque but as long... view full answer...
Tires have a heavy spot and a light spot, so the markings on the tires applied in the manufacturing process, are intended to be a guide for tire technicians so they have an idea of where to mount the tire on the wheel. It's important to point out that trailer tire and wheel combos, like # LHAW124, come assembled this way, which offers sufficient balancing for most trailer applications.
Although not required, you can choose to have the tire/wheel dynamically balanced at a shop, however,... view full answer...
There isn't a socket size because spindle nuts are not torqued down so sockets are not used; you'll want to use a channel lock or crescent wrench for the spindle nut on the Trailer Axle # e84YR. view full answer...
The Rear View Safety Blind Spot Sensor System # RVS-BES02 for your 2022 Chevrolet Colorado will have 2 indicators for a vehicle or object in your blind spot. The first is a light that can be installed in your A-pillar, this will light up when it detects a vehicle in your blind spot. The second indicator is a alarm, it will sound when you turn on your left or right turn signal and it detects that there is a vehicle or object in that blind spot. You will still get the visual indicator that... view full answer...
The Pop & Lock Custom Tailgate Lock with Handle, # PAL1700, has a handle which is made of ABS plastic. ABS plastic can be painted so I don't see any reason that you couldn't paint the handle to match the color of your 2012 Chevrolet Colorado. Since we have not personally tested it, I do recommend contacting your local body shop to see if they use a special process or have specific instructions to follow to ensure that you are satisfied with the final product. view full answer...
On page 317 of the owner's manual of a 2019 Chevy Colorado it states that failure to disconnect the negative battery cable can cause damage to the vehicle, and this is referring to the electronics of the truck which could potentially be damaged by not disconnecting the battery. The "negatives" of not disconnecting the battery are that the truck's electronic systems will be damaged, and the damage would not be covered by warranty if you did not follow the procedure outlined in the owner's... view full answer...
The Curt # C31074 front mount receiver has shipping weight of 36 lbs, minus the packaging the hitch weighs about 30 lbs. I've linked the installation instructions for you.
The Curt # 33328 front mount receiver you'd looked at is a fit for a 2003 - 2008 Honda Pilot or a 2006 - 2014 Honda Ridgeline, and wouldn't fit your Colorado. view full answer...

On your 2007 Chevrolet Colorado it will have either came from the factory with a 7-way trailer connector or with no trailer connector. The models that had the 7-way trailer connector will have had all the factory wiring and fuses necessary for a 7-way trailer connector to function the trailer lights and charge line on a connected trailer. If your Colorado came with the factory tow package you will have this wiring unless it was removed by a previous owner.
The Colorado's without the 7-way... view full answer...

The construction of the Erickson Over-The-Cab Truck Bed Ladder Rack, part # EM07707 uses the back rail to make the ladder rack stable and is not a removable part. I confirmed this with my contact at Erickson.
You may be able to place something between the back rail and the forward rail if it happens to be taller than the ladder rack which is 32-7/6 inches tall. view full answer...
The black powder coating on the casing of the Ark Drop Down Corner RV Stabilizer Jack Kit # ARK34FR will last for years but the legs that slide up into the casings are not powder coated, as you can see the product pictures, so they will show metal. view full answer...
The part you mentioned is a actually manufactured by Pollak, which we sell as part # HM40975. If your Colorado has the factory tow package featuring the US CAR connector under the rear of the vehicle, it would plug directly into the # HM40975.
If you don't have the factory tow package you can still install that connnector, but the US CAR connector won't be present and you'd need to hardwire it using # HM40975-11998, which provides both the pigtail and the connector. The wire colors/gauge... view full answer...

The Pop & Lock Custom Tailgate Handle and Lock for the 2012 Chevrolet Colorado, part # PAL1700C, cannot accept a replacement lock cylinder of the type and size used for typical automotive keys. I spoke to my contact at Pop & Lock to confirm that this part is not compatible with standard auto lock components.
You might instead want to consider a power lock, since this will avoid the need to keep track of the additional keys. Pop & Lock offers a power custom tailgate lock that connects into... view full answer...
'How dry' is kind of a subjective term that's pretty hard to define. Let me begin by saying that your average tonneau cover will do a pretty decent job of keeping the vast majority of the water out, but no Tonneau cover is completely waterproof. If you're having a heavy-type rain, chances are some water will infiltrate into the truck bed.
A high quality cover like the BAK MX4 you mentioned will preform better than average in this respect. If you're getting what you consider to be excessive... view full answer...
There is not an issue with overheating with the Roadmaster Guardian Rock Guard # RM-4000; the only caveat is that some owner's manuals do state not to use a vertical towing shield so you will need to check the manual of your '19 Colorado. If you cannot use a vertical shield then you can use the Roadmaster Tow Defender Protective Screening # RM-4700 for a horizontal shield. Either way, the transmission should not be creating heat when you are flat towing so there will not be an issue with... view full answer...
You won't want to cut a jack like the Square Direct Weld Jack # TJD-8000, with the issue being that doing so you would cut the lift rod inside the jack, not to mention void the warranty, and compromise its capacity. So I would avoid doing that, though I can sympathize with your issue, as 4 or 5 inches is pretty low.
There isn't an absolute minimum standard for how high off the ground a jack should be, but generally you want a jack to be about 8 inches off the ground to ensure clearances... view full answer...
