  • Testing Wires of 2004 Dodge Ram for Wiring In Brake Controller
  • We don't have the exact color functions for your brake controller wiring but we can help you determine that as long as you have a circuit tester like the part # PTW2993. You'd need to test the wires and the one with voltage all the time goes to the black wire of your brake controller. The one with voltage only when the brake pedal goes to the red wire. Ground the tester to the constant 12-volt power wire, then probe the remaining two wires.  The wire that lights the tester will be the...

  • Replacement Step Pads For DeeZee Running Boards On 2005 Dodge Ram 2500 SLT Quad Cab
  • The closest step pad available is Replacement Step Pad for Westin Platinum Series Nerf Bars - 20" Long - Qty 1 # 26-0001. This measures 19-13/16" long and has 4 pegs. The outer pegs measure about 5-15/16" from each other, while the inner pegs measure 6-5/8" from each other. This is not a confirmed fit for your DeeZee running boards so you will want to measure to verify compatibility. If this doesn't match up then you will want to contact DeeZee for replacements.

  • Troubleshooting SH Error Code on Prodigy P2 Brake Controller When Battery Connected on Trailer
  • If you are getting an SH error code on the Tekonsha Prodigy P2 Brake Controller # 90885 only when the battery on your trailer is hooked up then there is likely a short somewhere between the brake output wire and 12V wire on the trailer. I first recommend inspecting the 7-Way connector on the trailer for any debris or corrosion inside the pins that could be causing a short, cleaning out as needed. Then your best bet is to try and trace the brake output wire and 12V wire from the back of...

  • How To Install a 7-Way Trailer Connector On a 2004 Dodge Ram 1500
  • Yes, it is very possible to install/fit a 7-way trailer connector on a 2004 Dodge Ram 1500. I first recommend looking under the vehicle for a square ten pin connector. This (if present) will be located behind the rear bumper near the spare tire and will match the end of the 7- and 4-Pole Trailer Connector Socket part # HM40975-11933 which is what I recommend using if this connector is present. If you don't have the above square ten pin connector then you will need to start with a 4-way,...

  • The Westin Grate Step # 27-74735 requires mounting brackets depending on your model of vehicle. From the previous question you asked with us, it looks like you are asking for a 2500 model of 1998 Dodge Ram. If you have this model, I confirmed with Westin that the brackets you need are the Custom Installation Kit for Westin Molded, Sure-Grip, and Grate Step Running Boards # 27-1185. It is important to note that the Grate Step and the mounting brackets are only confirmed to fit Club Cab and...

  • How to Activate Reverse Light Circuit of Reverse Lock Out with 4-Way HM42115
  • The # HM42115 is a 4-way which does not carry the reverse light circuit like what the part # T4748800 needs for activation. What you'd need to do is use a 4 to 5-way adapter like part # 20036 so that you'd have the fifth circuit available to run to the reverse light circuit of your vehicle. You'd have to tap into the reverse light circuit of the vehicle by tracing the wires that lead to the reverse lights and testing the wires for voltage when the reverse lights come on.

  • Can Redarc Brake Controller Be Used With Brake Buddy Stealth Flat Tow Braking System
  • The brake controller that comes with the Brake Buddy Stealth Supplemental Braking System # HM39530 is proprietary. This controller is actually modeled after the Hopkins Agility Trailer Brake Controller # HM47295 and I've asked Brake Buddy if the Agility can be used as a replacement and they said that the flat-tow profile used with the Brake Buddy Controller # HM39533 is different than a regular electric brake controller so the one that comes with the Stealth HAS to be used with that system.

  • What Wooden Location Should I Mount My Thule Roof Mounted Top Rack System # THTB60?
  • I have an answer for you. As far as mounting the Thule Roof Mounted Top Rack System # THTB60 to the wooden sheathing on your Adventurer 89RB camper, Thule does not recommend using the track system on any material other than fiberglass. The reason for this is because the anchoring capability of wood is not as stable as mounting the tracks to fiberglass. This could result in cargo detaching from the roof. Also, mounting the tracks to wood will void all associated warrantees. However, if there...

  • Will Tekonsha P3 Trailer Brake Controller Work Without Re-Flashing Computer On Ram Truck
  • We recommend having the dealer re-flash the computer once you install an aftermarket trailer brake controller like the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Trailer Brake Controller part # 90195 on a vehicle with factory trailer brake controller. That said, it should still work there will just be an error present but we have not tested this. I do know the Curt Echo Mobile Trailer Brake Controller part # C51180 will work with a factory brake controller and it won't create an error message either.

  • Does Brake Controller Output Voltage Need to be Over 4 Volts
  • There is no minimum voltage requirement for a brake controller's output circuit setting. I wouldn't focus on the number so much as what allows the controller to operate your trailer brakes the best.

  • Sliding 5th Wheel Hitch For 2006 Dodge Ram 1500 Short Bed
  • Yes, you definitely can tow a 1999 Jayco Eagle model 211 with a 2005 Dodge Ram 1500 short bed. I recommend going with the Curt A16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ R16 Slider - Dual Jaw - 16,000 lbs # C16521 and the Curt Semi-Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit for Dodge Ram 1500 - Carbide Finish # C16303-200. You will need a slider because of the box length. If you do not get a sliding hitch or a rotating pinbox you will cause damage to your tow vehicle and or the 5th wheel. You will also...

  • Troubleshooting SC Error Code on Trailer Brake Controller
  • An S.C. error code on a brake controller would normally indicate a "short circuit" on the brake output circuit of the trailer wiring. If you are seeing this error all the time that would indicate that the problem is on the tow vehicle side of the wiring. If only when connected to a trailer then it's on the trailer wiring. Either way you'll want to go over the wiring of the circuit looking for any cuts or exposed wire and fix as needed. The short could be right at where the brake controller...

  • Do The Global Link Keys Fit All Travel Trailers
  • No, the replacement Global Link keys like part # 295-000036 only fit certain Global Link RV locks with the matching code. For example the 295-000036 key is a 310 and only open locks that came with the 310 key originally. If you need a replacement key, I would need to know what number is stamped on your key or lock to get you the correct key. If you are asking for safety's sake the keys are not universal they have to be matched by lock.
