Expert Answers about Subaru Crosstrek


  • Troubleshooting Charge Line Kit Not Working When Flat Towing a 2017 Subaru Crosstrek
  • What you are describing sounds like the 15A circuit breaker that comes with the Charge Line Kit # RM-156-25 is shot. This can easily be replaced with another circuit breaker like the 20A # 9506P but since your kit is only a year old it would be good to check your wiring as well as these shouldn't go out that quick. Check to make sure that all of the wiring looks good and it isn't exposed. If you do see that some of the wiring is damaged or exposed and you need replacement wire then we...

  • Troubleshooting Toad Wiring on 2017 Subaru Crosstrek with 3 Wire System
  • The Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit # RM-15267 was a great choice for your 2017 Subaru Crosstrek. You did have a connection mistake as the amber blinkers should not be lighting up when the brakes are applied. You simply connected the wrong vehicle wire to the diode. You want to tap into the tail light wire with that diode and not the turn signal wire as the system coming from your motorhome will have the brake and turn signals combined. Your vehicle has a 3...

  • Why Isnt My Battery Charge Line Charging The Battery In My Towed Vehicle?
  • When wiring the Roadmaster Battery Charge Line Kit # RM-156-25 to the Blue Ox 7-Wire to 6-Wire, Coiled Electrical Cord # BX88206 the red wire coming from the battery will go to the 7 Way port in the 1 o'clock position when looking at the back of the RV. This is the standard position for this. It is definitely a good idea to make sure there is power at this port, so you will need to use something like the # PTW2993 wire tester to make sure it has constant 12-volt power when the RV is on....

  • Is 1" Of Exhaust/Muffler Clearance Okay For The 7-Way Wiring Kit ETBC7L?
  • I would not recommend running the wiring for the 7-Way # ETBC7L within 1" of the exhaust/muffler on your 2024 Subaru Crosstrek. If this is the only way you can run the wiring you will want to see about getting a section of metal you can mount on your existing heat shield to protect the exposed section of wiring. Heat wrap would not be enough to protect the wiring from cases where there is excessive heat in the exhaust on hot days.

  • How to Confirm Compatibility of Replacement Hub for Boat Trailer
  • For a new hub to fit on a spindle it must use the exact same set of bearings and the same grease seal as the original hub. You can check that this is the case for the hub you have. The linked diagram shows where to find the part numbers. If your original hub had a major failure there could be damage to the bearings which would interfere with the fit of the new hub on the spindles. I suggest completely removing the original hub, bearings and seal to allow you to clean off and inspect the...

  • Troubleshooting Roadmaster Nighthawk Tow Bar Arms That Locked Out At Different Lengths
  • It sounds like the arms of your Roadmaster Nighthawk All-Terrain Tow Bar w/ LED Lights # RM-676 got stuck before locking in place. I recommend spraying the arms with some lubrication # RM-747 and working the arms in and out a bit. You can then connect to the G5 as normal and pull forward a bit with someone watching to make sure that the arms pull out straight and lock in place. I also recommend recommend covering # RM-055-3 the tow bar when not in use to prevent the elements or any debris...

  • How To Prevent A Bike Rack That Wobbles While Driving
  • Some wobble is unavoidable with bike racks like the Saris Superclamp # SA4025F. To help limit the wobble, you can use this anti rattle # C27UR. I've used it and it works really well especially for vertical movement. If you haven't already, double check all the bolts on the carrier and when you're tightening down the anti rattle bolt that comes with the rack be sure to wiggle the rack up and down when tightening it.

  • No Power To MaxxAir MaxxFan 3401K
  • I spoke with MaxxAir about the MaxxFan Roof Vent w/ 12V Fan part # MA00A04301K and they informed me that the issue you are having is going to be caused by the control board therefore this is the component you will need to replace. The Replacement Printed Circuit Board and Switch for MaxxFan Roof Vents part # MA10-04301k-v16 is correct for your fan.

  • Troubleshooting Bolt Not Going All the Way Through Frame of 24 Subaru Crosstrek Curt Hitch Install
  • We have to recommend using the flange since that's what Curt recommends. My guess is that the the carriage bolt isn't going all the way through the spacer block so you might try rotating the bolt to see if it can seat all the way through it. If the front bolts are tight you might try loosening them to see if that gives more slack for the rear bolts to thread through.

  • Brake Controller Install - 2019 Subaru Crosstrek Causing Traction Control/Hill Assist Warning Lights
  • I suspect you're using the incorrect wire from the brake switch. According to the information I've found, the circuit you're wanting to tap the red brake controller wire into is a white/brown striped wire, not a solid brown. Once you tap the red controller wire into that circuit, everything should work fine for you. The wire you're looking for should show power only with the brake pedal pressed.
