Expert Answers about Dodge Grand Caravan


  • Troubleshooting Right Turn Signal Not Working After Wiring Installation on 2017 Dodge Grand Caravan
  • I do not know what wiring harness you have so I'll take a best guess since you were looking for Curt products, and assume you have the # C56331. Moving the ground connection was a good choice, it is unfortunate that this did not solve the problem. The right turn signal and the right stop light are on the same wire, so it probably isn't the wiring harness malfunctioning. Still, It wouldn't hurt to double check the installation. Make sure the connectors are properly seated by unplugging...

  • Troubleshooting Vehicle Running Light Not Functioning After Trailer Wiring Install
  • Both of your vehicle taillights (the circuit on when head lights and running lights are on), are powered by the same circuit. If the T-connector being connected on the # 118376 caused the taillight to go out then I would try unplugging the connector and then replugging it back in as most likely the pins just aren't seated right. Getting this circuit to work right will also most likely allow the taillights of your trailer to start working as well. Running a jumper wire will work as a Band-Aid,...

  • Curt T-Connector No Longer Working On a 2016 Dodge Grand Caravan
  • I do have a recommendation as Curt does not offer the replacement components that you are looking for on your Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness # C56331 for your 2016 Dodge Grand Caravan. I have noticed is not everyone secures the black converter box on their vehicle. If the box is left free it tends to become more easily damaged. For this reason it is best to use the included double-sided tape and if at all possible secure the top hole with a screw into a solid structure that will...

  • Rear Running Lights on Trailer and 2000 Dodge Caravan Malfunctioning
  • You will want to use a circuit tester like part # PTW2993 to test the wires going into the converter box for signal. You will then want to make sure the wires leaving the converter box have signal as well when the proper functions are being used. If there is not signal from the wires leaving the converter box, the unit may be bad and will need to be replaced. If the running light bulb on your 2000 Dodge Grand Caravan is not illuminating at all, I would recommend checking the bulb to make...

  • Trailer Wiring on 2013 Dodge Grand Caravan Not Working After Connecting to Miswired Trailer
  • I am assuming that you also checked the fuse for the trailer wiring harness (if it is one that requires power from the battery). If not be sure to check that one on your 2013 Dodge Grand Caravan. If the power wire fuse is still good, then what likely happened is the short was bad enough to blow the converter box. That means it did exactly what it was supposed to do; it took the hit to protect the vehicle. A noble death indeed. To test the converter, you can use a circuit tester such...

  • Troubleshooting Malfunctioning Trailer Lights On a 4 x 6 Utility Trailer
  • T-One harnesses are almost impossible to wire incorrectly, so I would say it is most likely somewhere in the trailer wiring. Whichever side, driver or passenger, is having trouble, start at that tail light and work your way towards the vehicle. If the light has a ground wire, make sure it has a good clean ground connection, and make sure it is touching metal and not paint. Some lights are grounded by the bolts or screws that attach the light to the frame, so make sure those are clean...

  • Troubleshooting Left Turn Signal on Trailer that Overrides Brake Lights on Right Side of Trailer
  • It sounds like you are using a universal wiring kit like the Curt Powered Tail Light Converter with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # C59236 on your 2015 Dodge Grand Caravan. This is a kit that you hardwire to your vehicle and it has a green wire for the right stop/turn signal, a yellow wire for the left stop/turn signal, a red wire for the stop light, a white wire for the ground, and a brown wire for the tail/running lights. If your vehicle has the stop signal combined with the turn signals...

  • OL Error Code on P2 Brake Controller and 2010 Dodge Grand Caravan
  • The OL code on your Prodigy P2 brake controller indicates the brake controller senses an overload condition. Possible causes for this are a short on the electric brake wire (blue wire) or a poor ground connection. The easiest places to start looking for causes are the truck and trailer side connectors. Make sure they are both clean and free of corrosion inside where the wires attach and on the pins. Also make sure the main trailer connector grounds are attached to clean and corrosion free...

  • Running Lights Not Working on Trailer Being Towed by a 2016 Dodge Grand Caravan
  • The only fuses that look like they might be related to your trailer running lights are M14 (Trailer Tow) and M17 (Left Tail/License/Park Lamp, Running Lamps). These will be located in the fuse box under your hood. It could also be that you have a short somewhere. Check the connector on your 2016 Dodge Grand Caravan and your trailer as well as the grounds for both. If those are all clean and free of corrosion then your next best bet is to check the wiring itself. Look for places where the...

  • Fuse Blows After Towing Dolly With 2014 Dodge Grand Caravan
  • From how you described it, there might be an overload situation with the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness # C56331 on your 2014 Dodge Grand Caravan with the tow dolly. That said, LED lights don't normally have much draw and the maximum amps the harness can handle are 7.5 amps per circuit for the tail lights and 4.2 amps per circuit for the stop/turn lights. You said there were a lot of lights which is why this still might be the case. You can check the maximum draw of the lights...

  • Why is Battery Connection Required to Install Trailer Wiring Harness on 2010 Dodge Grand Caravan
  • On your 2010 Dodge Grand Caravan a powered wiring harness is needed to take the amperage draw off of the vehicle's sensitive wiring. The powered harnesses that connect to the vehicle battery use the battery to power the trailer lights. Curt powered harnesses do tend to put constant power on at least 1 circuit even with the vehicle off. this usually isn't an issue unless something is plugged into the 4-Way and drawing power. Since the Curt harnesses are not working for you I recommend...

  • Troubleshooting Tow Ready Wiring Harness, # 118552 on a 2008 Dodge Grand Caravan
  • If a signal is going into the Tow Ready Wiring Harness, part # 118552, Modulite box and not coming out, or a signal is going into the box and coming out on the wrong wires the ground on the vehicle may not be connected properly. If the white ground wire is not installed properly on the vehicle, then the green and yellow wires will not carry signal coming out of the box. To check the ground wire on the Modulite box you will want to use a circuit tester like part # PTW2993. First, connect...

  • Troubleshooting Trailer Wiring Harness C56331 Installation in 2014 Dodge Grand Caravan
  • Thank you for your purchases from etrailer. I suggest you re-check your ground wire connection. It can happen that a weak ground will pass enough current for some light functions but not others. Turn signals that blink on and off will draw less power than the brakes, which remain illuminated as long as you step on the pedal. You can try sanding off any paint/primer that may remain on the grounding point to enable a better connection, or you can relocate the ground terminal to a new spot...

  • Troubleshooting a Curt Wiring Harness on a 2012 Dodge Grand Caravan that Keeps Blowing Fuses
  • Something is going on with the installation of the Curt Wiring Harness part # C56331 on your 2012 Dodge Grand Caravan. It should not be blowing the fuse under normal towing situations, but even more so without a trailer being connected. What I would recommend you do is go over all of the connections this harness makes to your vehicle to see if there is anything out of place that could be causing a short. Also, check that there aren't any cut or exposed sections of the power wire between...

  • Right Side Trailer Lights Do Not Work After Installing Trailer Wiring Harness on 2009 Grand Caravan
  • To determine if the converter box is bad on your trailer wiring harness, I recommend testing the wires going into the converter box from the tail lights by probing them with a circuit tester. If you have power for the right turn signal and brake light going into the converter box but no power coming out of the converter box, then the converter box is probably bad and should be replaced. I also recommend inspecting the harness from the converter box to the 4-way trailer connector. Sometimes...

  • Can Corrosion Cause Wiring Malfunctions
  • The first thing you will want to do is replace any corroded connectors or wires that you see as this will cause your lights to malfunction. Once the corrosion is gone, test the ends on each of the poles coming from the vehicle side trailer connector for proper function while a helper activates each circuit. You can do this by using a circuit tester part # PTW2993. This should fix your problem however, if it does not, I would be glad to offer further troubleshooting advice if you can tell...

  • Troubleshooting Trailer Lights on 2008 Dodge Grand Caravan with T-One Wiring Harness # 118552
  • If you ran the power wire and have current there, before the connector, then you will need to use a circuit tester, item # PTW2993 if needed, and check each one of the other circuits going into the converter. Make sure they are functioning properly. This should be done without the trailer connected. If they are not working properly check the connections behind the taillights and the ground connection to make sure they are secure. If all connections before the converter are functioning...

  • Troubleshooting T-1 Connector Part # 118552 on 2010 Dodge Grand Caravan
  • Having the signal bleed over from the drivers side to the circuit feeding the passenger side usually indicates a ground problem. Try running a jumper from the white ground wire coming off the converter to the negative battery terminal, and see if that solves your problem. If so, try using a different grounding point for the converter. If there is a factory installed grounding point nearby, that would be ideal. If no factory ground is available, try shooting the grounding screw into a pinch...

  • Options to Help Reduce Noise From an Awning with Solera Smart Arms Flapping in the Wind at Night
  • We do have something that will help. Honestly, your best option for noise reduction is to roll the awning up. That said, since your awning has the Solera Smart Arms you can add the Solera Smart Arm Wind Sensor Kit # LC715123. The Solera Smart Arm Wind Sensor Kit # LC715123 has 3 different levels of wind sensitivity, or you can completely deactivate the wind sensor altogether. This will allow you to leave your awning extended at night and if it gets too windy the awning will automatically...
