  • Trailer Wiring Harness Recommendation for a 2016 Dodge Journey
  • I have a trailer wiring harness I can recommend for your 2016 Dodge Journey, but it is not the part # 118536. Instead you would want the # C59496 as it has been confirmed to fit your vehicle. It is not a plug and play option though and will require some hardwiring.

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch for a 2018 Dodge Journey AWD
  • I spoke with my contact at Curt and they were able to confirm that the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C13201 will fit a 2018 Dodge Journey AWD. I have also attached a few reviews of our customers installing this very same hitch on models with AWD as well. It should be a direct bolt-on fit that installs using pre-existing holes. It is made in the USA and has a lifetime warranty. I have attached an install video for you as well. Although it is not on an AWD model, it will be the same.

  • What is the Correct Trailer Wiring Harness for a 2010 Dodge Journey
  • The T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4 Pole Trailer Connector, # 118495, is the correct harness for a 2010 Dodge Journey. I have included a link to the installation details below. The 2010 model does not require the use of a powered converter as it uses a 2 wire system. The T-One Connector with Upgraded Circuit Protected ModuLite, # 118474, is for a 2009 model. It includes a powered converter that converts the 3 wire system to a 2 wire system used on trailers.

  • Driver Side Tail Lights Shut Off After Trailer Wiring Harness Install on a 2018 Dodge Journey
  • The most common issue we have with the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness part # C56109 on a 2018 Dodge Journey is an insufficient ground. Therefore, I recommend that you remove the ground for this harness, sand down the surface, and then reattach. This should fix your issue but if it does not then check the pins inside the driver side plug to make sure they are not bent or broken. If the issue still occurs after the ground has been reattached and the driver side plug has been checked...

  • How to Know What Trailers Bulldog Landing Gear Will Fit
  • The Bulldog # BD500162 landing gear bolts to its brackets, but the brackets would weld to the trailer frame.

  • How to Pick Out Ball Mount for 2016 Dodge Journey to Allow Trailer to Tow Level
  • I attached an FAQ that details how to pick out the correct ball mount. Picking out the correct ball mount will allow your trailer to sit as level as possible. Basically you will first measure the height from the ground to the top of the receiver opening on the hitch while on level ground. Next, you will measure the coupler height from the ground to the bottom of the trailer coupler when the trailer is on level ground. Next, you will need to compute the difference. If the hitch height is...

  • 7-Way Extension For Use With Saris Door County Bike Rack
  • Happy to help you out, and the 7-way extension Evangeline used in the video on the 4Runner of the Saris Door County Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes # SAR42RR is the TorkLift Wiring Harness Extension # TLW6036. This is a total of 42 inches long, which may be a bit too long for your application so I think the better option is the 32 inch long TorkLift Wiring Harness Extension # TLW6028.

  • How to Make a 7-Way to 5-Way Adapter for Trailer with Separate Turn Signals
  • I can show you how to build an adapter for what you are trying to do, but there isn't one pre-made that we carry. You will need a trailer side 7-way like # H20042, a signal converter # C56196, and a vehicle side 5-way # HM47900. Using the labels on the converter box you will need to wire the input side of it to the 7-way, and then wire the output side of it to the 5-way and you will have made an adapter to do what you are looking to do.

  • Towing Capacity and Trailer Hitch and Wiring for a 2016 Dodge Journey 4 Cylinder
  • According to the vehicle owner's manual the 2016 Dodge Journey with the 2.4 liter 4 cylinder motor has a maximum gross trailer weight capacity of 1,000 pounds and tongue weight capacity of 100 pounds. Based on this you would not be able to tow a 1,700 pound trailer. There aren't a lot of trailers that are under 1,000 pounds so if you have a different tow vehicle with a higher capacity I recommend using it for towing. If you do find a trailer that is within the vehicle capacities then the...

  • Backup Camera System For 2016 Dodge Journey That Won't Cover License Plate
  • The Rear View Safety Wireless License Plate Backup Camera System part # RVS-5350-W will cover up the word "Texas" at the top of your license plate from my research.

  • Boat Trailer Running and Brake Lights Work But No Turn Signals with 2009 Dodge Journey
  • The first thing to do is determine if the issue is on the vehicle side or the trailer side. To do that you will disconnect the trailer from your 2009 Dodge Journey and use a circuit tester # PTW2993 to determine if the wiring harness is working properly. Have someone sit in the vehicle and turn on the blinkers while you first test the wires going into the converter box from the taillight connection (yellow is left turn and green is right turn). If signals are not right going into the box...
