Expert Answers about Buick Enclave
- Is Brake Light Switch Necessary When Wiring 2011 Buick Enclave for Flat Towing
- You are correct about the purpose of the brake light switch. Its purpose is to provide verification that the brakes on your dinghy are being applied (as well as released) when needed. If the supplementary braking system you are using is not retracting properly, the tires and brakes on the dinghy could become prematurely worn or damaged.

- Without seeing the jack or lift point it is hard to say for sure, but installing the DeeZee NXc Running Boards w Custom Installation Kit # DZ16203-16211 shouldn't interfere with using your vehicle's factory service jack. You will likely need to come at the lift point from a different angle but it should work just fine for you. I attached a demonstration video for you to check out regarding these running boards.

- Once the battery is unhooked, it's definitely possible that you'll need to reset the stored information such as radio settings and clocks, etc. This being said, I am puzzled by the part of the procedure where Buick states to open the hood, then wait two minutes before detaching the negative battery terminal. It makes me wonder if there's maybe a capacitor that saves those settings for you.
I searched online for quite a bit and wasn't able to find an explanation, so you might want to check...

- Manufacturers make their threaded hitch pins and locks unique so that they can only be used with their products so you cannot use a Swagman lock in a Thule bike rack. The correct lock for a Thule bike rack is # THSTL2.
You can also get Thule cable lock # TH538XT and then add Thule One-Key System Lock Cylinders, # TH450200, to key the hitch and cable locks alike to use 1 key for both locks. I have included a video review of the Thule lock for you.
view full answer... - Flat Towing Lighting Solution for a 2012 Buick Enclave
- The bulb and socket kit, # RM-155, does fit the 2012 Buick Enclave. Wire length could be an issue on any vehicle. It all depends on how the wires are routed under the vehicle. Normally, unless it is a truck, the wire length is more than enough. Bulb brightness can be affected by several factors including getting the proper voltage back from the RV. The bulbs that are used are automotive bulbs (incandescents) which are not as bright compared to LEDs.
What I recommend is to use the custom...
