Expert Answers about Ford Battery Boxes


  • Battery Boxes Capable Of Holding 6V LifeLine Battery GPL-4CT On Trailer Tongue
  • For 6-volt battery boxes we have a couple options to hold your two 6V lifeline GPL-4CT batteries. I was able to see that this battery is 10.28" long, 7.06" wide and 9.92" tall. First is the Commercial Grade Battery Box # 329-HM426 which is designed to hold 2 6 volt batteries. The interior dimensions are 14-5/8" long, 10-1/2" wide and 11-1/2" tall. The Exterior is 17-15/16" long, 14-5/16" wide and 14" tall. Next the TorkLift PowerArmor Solar Locking Battery Box # TLA7712RS will allow...

  • Vehicle Fitment for TorkLift HiddenPower Under-Vehicle Battery Mount with Battery Box
  • Thanks for reaching out, Dave! I reached out to my contact at TorkLift and they weren't able to give me those specifics for the TorkLift HiddenPower Under-Vehicle Battery Mount with Battery Box # TLA7729, but they were able to confirm that this will fit a 2005 - 2014 Ford Van E-250 and E-350 so if that's what you have then you'll be good to go. If you have a different vehicle please let me know the year/make/model and I'll see if we have an alternative kit to fit your vehicle.

  • What Needs To Be Changed on a 2023 Forest River XLR Hyper Lite 3016 When Switching To Lithium
  • The WF-8930/50 power center does not actually do any charging for your batteries. Instead you are going to have a deck mount power converter somewhere in your camper. If you can find this then I can confirm if you are going to need a different Converter # PD79RR. You will simply need to switch the battery type on the screen for your solar power to let it know you are using a Lithium battery. You will most likely need to switch to a larger battery box. If you can confirm the dimensions...

  • How to Prevent Breakaway Battery From Draining Winch Battery Power
  • If I'm understanding you correctly the starter solenoid # PK5231201 is not the solution to your problem. Based on what you have described, it sounds like both the breakaway battery and winch battery are hooked to the 12V power coming from your 7-way. This is what I would expect to see, and would allow for a maintenance charge on both when hooked up to the tow vehicle. However, with the winch battery and breakaway battery on the same circuit you see the breakaway battery constantly charging...

  • Slide In Truck Camper Charging Circuit For Coach Battery
  • For charging and maintaining your battery in your overhead camper you will need to add a charge line circuit. Most slide in campers will tie into the vehicle either through a 4-way or 7-way into the truck bumper. If your camper is connected through a 7-way you will need to find the termination box for the plug. If you find your connection box you can tie into the 12V power wire on 7-way circuit. I recommend using the 12 V DC Battery Charger # MA99JR. You can tie the charger into your...

  • Length of Frame Plate of TorkLift HiddenPower Under-Vehicle Battery Mount with Battery Box
  • I found the distance from the top of the single bolt to the top of the double bolts on the frame plate of the TorkLift HiddenPower Under-Vehicle Battery Mount with Battery Box # TLA7742 to be approximately 10-3/16 inches; you can compare that to the dimensions of the frame plate of the HiddenPower # TLA7740 currently on your 2017 Ford E-Series. It is important to note that the HiddenPower # TLA7742 is not confirmed to fit your 2017 Ford E-Series so it is possible, even if the frame plate...

  • Is There a 7-Way Junction Box Large Enough To Have Fuses Put In The Box?
  • All the junction boxes like the # 3375601101 you found are going to be approximately the same size. You should not need a fuse inside this box as all the circuits are going to be fused from the tow vehicle.

  • How Many Axles for use with Dexter Trailer Breakaway Kit?
  • The Dexter Trailer Breakaway Kit # 34-285 is going to work on single or tandem axle trailers only. If you're looking for a breakaway kit that allows for triple or quad axles I recommend the Tekonsha Shur-Set III # 2028 ,which works for anywhere from 1-4 axles. It is a top loading system for easy access the 5 amp-hour battery from above and comes with a built in battery charger. The battery box is also equipped with the ability to add a padlock for extra security.

  • Can a Brake Controller Be Wired to a circuit Breaker Instead of Being Wired Directly to the Battery
  • Hey Nick, you're going to need to attach the wire to the positive terminal on the battery and run a wire. Brake controllers should be powered directly from the battery via a circuit breaker. Reason being is that you'll keep your brakes even if the ignition cuts out unexpectedly, and on inertia controlled units removing the power will clear the unit’s calibration which would result in rough braking until the unit gets recalibrated again.

  • How to Power 12V Refrigerator While Driving
  • One way or another you will want to run this off of a 12V battery like # BRW94FR if you don't already have one on the trailer. You could use the 12V line from the 7-way to keep power running to the battery. However, this is only a maintenance charge so you can expect to drain the battery while operating the fridge. How long the battery will last depends on the power draw, length of time you're running it, and charge level of the battery when you start your trip. If you make sure it is...

  • Can Curt 4-Way Converter be Installed on Passenger Side on 2018 Ram ProMaster City
  • Hi V, and you do need to install the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # C56270 on the driver side of your 2018 Ram ProMaster City. Like you mentioned, that's how the wiring lengths are configured attached to the converter box. As for the battery connection points, I'm not sure, but looking at the videos it looks like the batteries terminals different for one reason or another. For yours, the positive and negative battery terminals should be labeled...

  • Troubleshooting Lack Of Power To The Running Light 7-Way Pin On A 2012 Ford F-250
  • Hey Cody, The fuse diagram I'm seeing online lists the trailer running lights have a fuse in position 26 and relay in position 29. This diagram could be wrong but definitely worth checking with the diagram on the fuse block cover to see if it's the same function. As for testing the control module, you need to reach out to Ford directly for a wiring diagram, otherwise you'll just have to trace the wiring from the fuse block to wherever the module is located and then test the wires coming...

  • Trouble Finding Source To Power 12 Volt Light on Enclosed Trailer
  • It sounds like your 12 volt light may have been wired to the trailers 7-way connection so the single 12 volt light would be able to have power when it is connected to a tow vehicle. It could also be connected to a breakaway battery located on the front of the trailer. This would be the only reason I would see someone having both 12 volt and 120 volt lights in a trailer. So they could have a single light powered from the truck when they are traveling between electrical connections.

  • Troubleshooting Integrated Factory Brake Controller Not Working On a 2018 Ram 5500
  • The fuse for the trailer brake module is located in the engine compartment fuse box that is located near the battery on your 2018 Ram 5500. The 30 amp pink fuse is located in position F11. In my experience if all the wiring and fuses are good you will need to take it to your nearest Ram Service Center as the computer may need to be flashed or updated to get the controller working properly again. The best option may be to switch to a aftermarket brake controller like the Tekonsha Prodigy...
