  • Can the Bulb Inside the Optronics Backup Light BU45CB Be Replaced
  • Correct, the bulb inside the Optronics Backup Light part # BU45CB is not replaceable because this is a submersible light therefore sealed. I would not really call this bad engineering as it was designed this way for a reason. If you were to replace the bulb you would have to break the seal and then the light would no longer be submersible.

  • Trouble Shooting Trailer Brakes That Are Weak or Not Working With a Brake Controller
  • The Tekonsha Prodigy P3 # 90195 should be pushing 12 volts when on full power or when using the manual override lever. The trailer brakes should be drawing somewhere between 3.2 to 4 amps. From what it sounds like, you are within these parameters, so odds are you are having a ground issue with the trailer. Especially with the front axle locking when power was applied. What I would do is ground each brake separately and double check any other ground wires. You will want to make sure all...

  • Does Push Button Switch for Power Vents # DG52451VP Stay On Once Pressed
  • Push Button Switch for Power Vents # DG52451VP is a momentary switch. It is meant to be installed so that when the vent lid is closed it holds the button in which cuts off power to the vent fan. When the lid opens the button is released and it will allow power to go to the fan. Personally I like toggle switches such as # PK34513 because there is just something satisfying about flipping a switch like it.

I have attached an installation video for your reference. You can see the connector starting at the 5 minute mark in the video.

  • Fuse To Tap Pink Wire of Air Lift WirelessAIR Compressor System on 2015 Chevy Silverado 1500
  • Airlift recommends using a keyed circuit that's only active when the ignition is turned on, as the system can activate if the vehicle moves (a strong wind could possibly do it) and possibly drain the battery. According to the installation instructions, the pink wire from the compressor harness shouldn't be installed on a circuit rated for more than 10A in order to prevent damaging the compressor. I looked over an online copy of the owner's manual, trying to find a good place to tap that...

  • Installation And Torque On Roadmaster Reflex Steering Stabilizer

I've attached a photo of the torque requirements from the instructions and have also attached the instruction link. I recommend using the Loctite Threadlocker 262 - High Strength - Up to 3/4" Nuts/Bolts - 0.20-Fl-Oz Tube # LT37420 because they will be vibrating and you don't want the bolts to come loose.
