• Troubleshooting Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness C56331 Voltage Drop When Connected To 4-Way
• I think you may have a ground issue with the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness # C56331 on your 2013 Chrysler Town and Country. To verify if this is truly the issue you can disconnect the ground wire and run a jumper wire directly to the battery. On these Town and Country minivans they are know to have ground issues for body mounted grounds and that may be what caused your Tekonsha to fail. Please let me know if this resolves your issue.

• The Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # C56331 is a confirmed fit for your 2012 Chrysler Town and Country. When a specific light function does not work, while others do work, usually the ground is the culprit. It sounds like you have checked both the wiring harness ground at the vehicle and the trailer wiring harness ground at the trailer frame to make sure both are making solid bare-metal-to-bare-metal contact. The next thing to check is the black...

• I am sorry to hear you are running into issues with the Hopkins Taillight Converter Kit with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # HM48925 you installed in your 2015 Chrysler Town and Country. First, I recommend double checking that the white wire attached to the frame of your Town and Country is snug and connected to clean corrosion free metal. Next using a circuit tester like # PTW2993 I recommend double checking the functions of the vehicle end 4-way connector to see if the issue is on the...

• Trailer Right Turn Signal Does Not Work Using Wiring Harness on a 2008 Chrysler Town and Country
• You have tested the converter on trailer wiring harness # 118552 correctly. Since there is the correct signal going into the converter but not coming out that indicates that the converter is bad and the harness will need to be replaced. The Tow Ready wiring harnesses have a 1 year limited warranty so based on the date of purchase you would be outside of that window. The modern day wiring harnesses are very sensitive because the vehicle wiring on newer vehicles is sensitive. Because of...

• Curt Trailer Wiring Harness for 2014 Chrysler Town & Country has No Power
• Check the fuse for the power wire in wiring harness # C56331 for your 2014 Chrysler Town and Country. If that fuse is blown or missing that would be why the harness is not working. Also make sure the white ground wire is attached to a bare metal surface; no paint or coating between the ground and where it is connected. If that does not do the trick then you can test the converter to determine if it is bad. I have included a link to a video that shows how to do this.

• Troubleshooting Low Ball Mount Ground Clearance on a 2003 Chrysler Town and Country
• The Curt Class II Trailer Hitch, part # C12362, is the correct trailer hitch for your 2003 Chrysler Town and Country and the ball mount, part # C45521, is the recommended ball mount for that hitch. It is perfectly safe to turn the ball mount upside down to gain more ground clearance. This is called using the ball mount in the rise position. It is recommended for your vehicle to use this ball mount in the rise position since the trailer hitch is low to the ground. I do not recommend...

• Timbren Springs Fell Off Under Load on a 2005 Chrysler Town and Country
• This is so uncommon that it is the first time I have heard of this happening. The springs are very durable rubber and unless they were installed incorrectly, in the wrong place, the wrong system was used or they were severely overloaded, I cannot think of a way this would happen. The system is meant to be installed on a vehicle with a suspension in good working order. So if there were stock suspension problems, the installer should have noticed that. The correct system for your 2005...

• Troubleshooting Trailer Brake Lights On all the Time After New Wiring Harness Install
• Something isn't wired up right on your 2009 Chrysler Town and Country. If this was a hardwire install where you had to tap into the taillight circuits of your vehicle I would double check that you have all of the connections made to the correct circuits. It really sounds like either you have a couple of the wires crossed or the wiring harness itself is just faulty which is pretty unlikely. I attached an FAQ article on troubleshooting 4-way installs for you to check out as well.

• No Power on 4-Way End of Trailer Wiring Harness C56331 on a 2014 Chrysler Town and Country
• The only schematic that the manufacturer of wiring harness # C56331 provides is what is in the instructions which is to say not much. Everything else is proprietary information. But I can tell you how you would go about testing the wiring harness on your 2014 Chrysler Town and Country. First, make sure that everything is installed including the fuse in the fuse holder and that the converter box is getting its power directly from the vehicle battery. If the fuse is blown that would be the...

• Will Anti-Rattle Hitch Stabilizer Help Reduce Rumbling Sound From Trailer to Tow Vehicle
• A hitch stabilizer like the etrailer Anti-Rattle Hitch Stabilizer for 2" Hitches # e99007 is a great place to start with this kind of issue. There are a number of things that can be causing noise like this but if it's consistent between a single trailer and multiple tow vehicles I think starting with the hitch stabilizer and working our way from there is the best course of action. It would also be worth checking the bolts and welds on your trailer coupler as well as the actual connection...

• Troubleshooting a Short in Trailer Wiring Harness on 2012 Chrysler Town and Country

Some vehicles do not need the powered converter. To determine the source of your issue you'll need to determine if it's on the vehicle or trailer side. Does the fuse blow with the harness connected to the van but no trailer plugged in? If so the issue is on the van. If you need to plug in...

• Drivers Side Tail Light Fuse Blows Again on Chrysler Town and Country with Curt Wiring Harness
• The chance of receiving two faulty converter boxes is very low and we have not had any recurring complaints on trailer wiring harnesses for the Chrysler Town and Country or Dodge Grand Caravan minivans. A blown tail light fuse could indicate that the converter box has shorted out allowing power to back feed onto the tail light circuit. The main causes that we find for faulty converter boxes are short circuits on the trailer, excessive power draw, and faulty installations. Before installing...

• Green Light on Tekonsha Voyager Brake Controller Stays on with Curt Wiring Adapter with Test Feature
• There is a possibility that the testing feature of the Curt Adapter # C57674 could cause a brake controller to believe a trailer is connected. This would cause the green light on the Tekonsha Voyager # 39510 to constantly be on. I talked to Tekonsha about this and they did reassure me that it won't cause any issues. Technically, more power is being drawn since the controller will send a signal to the 7-way when you apply the brakes even though there is no trailer however the draw will...

• No Passenger Side Trailer Lights When Using Tow Ready T-1 Connector # 118446 on 2008 Chrysler T&C
• Thank you for your purchase of the Tow Ready T-One Trailer Harness, part # 118446, back in July of 2009. This part number is no longer active but the current equivalent that you reviewed, part # 118552, would install and operate in the same manner. I have linked a video showing the entire process in your same year/make/model vehicle. First I suggest you have a helper on hand to confirm that all lighting functions on the 2008 Town & Country operate properly. With the trailer disconnected,...

• Weak Brake Output Signal on Pilot Trailer Brake Controller, 1998 Chrysler Town and Country
• When installing a brake controller like the Pilot # 80550, you should always ground the controller to the negative battery terminal to ensure a good ground. I would start with making that change. Next, you will want to go back and set up the brake controller as if it was the first time. If the power levels are not set correctly, it will not perform correctly. Test it again using the brake pedal a few times, and test again using the manual override. If the brake controller is getting power...

• Right Trailer Turn Signal Stays On Using Curt T-Connector On 2008 Chrysler Town and Country
• I concur, it does indeed sound like you have a faulty control module. That said, the control modules are not replaceable by themselves so you will need to obtain an entire new trailer wiring harness unfortunately as you are out of the warranty period as well. For replacement, I would actually go with the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness part # 118552 as we tend to find that this brand makes the most reliable wiring products therefore the control module will last longer. The good news is that...

• 2011 Chrysler Town and Country Towing a Trailer with Working Turn Signals and No Brake Lights
• The converter box (black) in the trailer wiring harness # C56331 takes the separate brake and turn signals on the vehicle and combines them to a combined signal that is used by the trailer. The converter box or logic box contains circuitry designed to distinguish between the brake and turn signals and combine them to a single circuit on the output side. Since the turn signals are working on the trailer but the brake lights are not, this is normally a bad ground. The brake lights will have...

• Troubleshooting a Roof Rack System for Raised Side Rails on a 2016 Chrysler Town and Country
• There is not a confirmed fit from any of our manufacturers for your 2016 Chrysler Town and Country with raised side bars. From the sounds of what you have, I recommend the Evo Raised Rail Feet for Thule Crossbars - Factory Raised Rails # TH710401 along with 53 inch crossbars # TH711420 and locks # TH450400. The crossbar width is based on the compatible kits for racks without the side rails. If you want a clamp on system, the Malone AirFlow2 Roof Rack # MPG216 has 58 inch crossbars...
