How to Test a Trailer Brake Controller on 2007 Ford Crown Victoria without Connecting to a Trailer
You don't need to be connected to a trailer to test a brake controller, but the brake controller does need to sense a slight amperage draw on the output circuit. You'll want to use a circuit tester like the # PTW2993 with one pin grounded and the other on the brake circuit output pin on your 7 way connection. Then you can hit the brake pedal of the vehicle and you should see the brake controller operate like normal. You'll need someone to help since it's hard to be at the rear of the vehicle...

Testing Tail Light Wires on a 2001 Ford Crown Victoria to Install a Trailer Wiring Harness
When installing a hardwire trailer wiring harness such as # C59236 you have to test the vehicle tail light wires to determine their functions using a circuit tester such as # PTW2993. Testing the wires is required because there is no standard wire color and function code. Your 2001 Ford Crown Vic has separate turn signal wires from the brake light wires. The yellow wire on the harness goes to the left turn signal wire on the vehicle. The green wire is for the vehicle right turn signal...

Best Trailer Wheel That Will Fit A 4.80-12 Tire
It sounds you are looking for a new trailer wheel for your 4.80-12 trailer tires. Your 13 inch is like just a 12 inch wheel, but you may be measuring the overall diameter. Trailer wheel diameter is actually measured from bead seat to bead seat rather than overall, so a 12 inch diameter wheel may look more like a 13 inch diameter wheel. I'm guessing your wheel bolt pattern is actually 5 on 4-1/2 because 5 on 4.25 is not a common trailer wheel bolt pattern. I've attached a help article on...

Trailer Wiring for 2003 Ford Crown Victoria
For the P71 police version of the 2003 Ford Crown Victoria there are only trailer wiring options that require splicing as there aren't any plug and play options.

Weight Distribution Recommendation for a 2009 Ford Crown Victoria and 1968 Airstream Trailer
First you will need to verify the towing capacities of the 2009 Ford Crown Vic by checking the owners manual.

Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2001 Ford Crown Victoria for Towing 2,600 lb Boat Trailer
There isn't a way we can recommend you reinforce a Class I hitch so that it's capacities increase. Only solution we have for your 2001 Ford Crown Victoria would be a higher capacity hitch. Ideally you'd go with a Class III like the Curt part # 13707 which has more than enough capacity, but a Class II like the Curt # C12130 also has enough capacity for your 2,600 lb boat as it has a 3,500 lb trailer capacity. For trailer wiring you'd then want the Hopkins kit part # HM11140504 which is...

Will I Need Snow Chains on both the Front and Rear of my 2000 Ford Crown Victoria
With a Crown Victoria, there will be enough weight pressing down on the front tires that you should not need them up front. But, since the Crown Vic is a rear-wheel drive car, you will most definitely need them on the rear tires. We are based in Wentzville Missouri and our only retail store location is here. We do regularly ship to the contiguous 48 states. And can ship to HI, AK and PR.
