• Can I Disconnect Power from Curt T-Connector Part C56331 When Not Towing For Long Periods
• The correct Curt trailer wiring harness for your 2013 Dodge Grand Caravan is part # C56331. This does include a mains fuse holder for controlling 12V power to the taillight converter box. If you wish you may remove this fuse to cut-off power input to the converter box. However, do be careful to avoid losing the fuse (or keep some spares in the glove box, which is a good idea in any case). Do please note that when the converter output is not connected to a trailer via the 4-pole, no power...

• Finding a VIN on Trailer
• We do not have any type of database from manufacturers with the locations of VINs but oftentimes the VIN is located on the trailer tongue. If you cannot find it there it may be stamped on your trailer's frame somewhere and you will need to check under the trailer around the axle which of course may be a bit of a pain but sometimes the VIN is there. Otherwise you will need to contact your local state police or highway patrol who can assign your trailer a VIN.

• Why Does the T-1 Wiring Harness for 2008 Dodge Grand Caravan Have to Draw Power From the Battery
• The actual voltage to power the trailer lighting is drawn from the fused 12-volt feed that is ran to the battery. The connections that attach inline behind the tail lights provide the signal that tells the trailer lights when to activate. This has the benefit of isolating the voltage that powers the trailer lights from the wiring system that powers the tail lights on your Grand Caravan. A short circuit on the trailer wiring can blow the fuse on the power circuit at the battery or possibly...

• How Are Coolant Lines Run For Transmission Cooler
• When the lines on a transmission cooler like part # D13503 are referred to the inlet line is from the radiator output. The output line is then connected to the transmission. This is because the factory transmission cooler is surrounded by coolant and will be a little cooler when going into the aftermarket cooler like part # D13503. I have attached a drawing that shows how the coolant lines are run when using an aftermarket cooler.

• Tool used to Remove the Rivets that Hold the Taillight Assembly on a 2002 Dodge Grand Caravan
• That handy-dandy tool you see in the videos is a trim panel tool. We have # PT73HJ as an option that you could use. I advise against using vice grips as it will tear up the pins. You could use a smaller claw hammer if available. A very small pry bar (crow bar) could work as well. I suppose you could wedge two spoons under it and pry it out that way. Depending on how tight they are you might bend the spoons. If you had a very flat wrench it might work the same as the trim panel tool.

• Trailer Tongue Weight, Vehicle Tongue Weight Capacity and Weight Distribution Systems
• The weight of anything stowed behind the rear axle would need to be deducted from the vehicle's tongue weight capacity, but the weight of the hitch and the weight distribution system used would not. You wouldn't really consider the weight of the system as trailer tongue weight either, because when you choose the system, you'll leave enough wiggle room between your trailer's actual fully loaded and ready to tow tongue weight and its maximum capacity to account for the weight of the system....
