• Locating Reverse Circuit for a Peak Wireless Backup Camera on a 2007 Chrysler Aspen
• The only way to be sure which wire is the reverse light circuit is to test the wires with a circuit tester like part # 3808. Pull the tail light of, and have someone in the cab with the foot brake and emergency brake on, find the two wires that are hot. One will be the brake light the other, the reverse light. Put the car back into park and have someone depress the foot brake so you can determine which wire was brake and which was reverse.

• How long does It Take to Hardwire a Tekonsha P3 Electric Brake Controller On a 2008 Chrysler Aspen
• Installation time is going to vary by shop and the experience of their mechanics.

• Installation, Drilling and Trimming Required to Install a Trailer Hitch on a 2008 Chrysler Aspen
• What our installers do when installing hitches on the Aspen, like your 2008, is to first get the hitch in position and attach the u-bolts that go over the vehicle bumper structure. Then, they use the hitch as a template and drill through the bumper structure from the back of the vehicle. Then they drill out the other side. The bumper structure is hallow so you do not have to drill all the way through. It is easier to get the holes lined up correctly this way. Take a look at the instructions...

• 7-Way Adapter Wire Connection Pin Locations on 2009 Chrysler Aspen
• It definitely sounds to me like you have the connections in the 7-way connector on your vehicle connected to the wrong circuits.

When looking at the wiring diagram remember that you...

• Parts Needed to Add a Fully Functioning 7-Way on a 2007 Chrysler Aspen
• To add a fully functioning 7-Way to your 2007 Chrysler Aspen, which will allow you to use your Tekonsha brake controller, you first need a 4-Way flat. If you do not already have one then I recommend installing the Tekonsha T-One # 118390 which T's into the existing wiring on your Aspen. Once installed, this kit will draw power from your battery which prevents the wiring on your trailer from affecting the wiring on your Aspen. Once you have a 4-Way installed you need to install the Universal...

• Wiring Options for a 2009 Chrysler Aspen Towing a Boat Trailer with a 5-Way Flat Trailer Connection
• Yes, the Tow Ready Custom Fit Vehicle Wiring for the 2009 Aspen by Chrysler, item # 118390, is the correct wiring harness for your Aspen and you will need one other item to complete the wiring to lockout the brakes on your boat trailer surge coupler.

• Why is a Battery Connection Required for Trailer Wiring Harnesses on a 2009 Chrysler Aspen
• Powered trailer wiring harnesses like # 118390 have a direct connection to the battery for 2 reasons. First, it powers the trailer lights instead of drawing the power and the signals all through the vehicle tail light wiring. This helps protect the vehicle wiring. And second it offers additional circuit protection beyond what a non-powered converter can. Basically, you want as much isolation between the vehicle sensitive wiring and electronics and the trailer wiring. The last thing you...
