  • Connecting Reverse Light Wire for an ETBC7 Trailer Wiring Harness on a 2001 Dodge Durango
  • To answer your first question, you will use a quick splice connector, like # SWC501746-1, and attach the purple wire to one of the reverse light wires. If the reverse light wire is contained within a loom, you may have to carefully cut away enough of the loom to get to the wire. Since it is different on every vehicle, specific instructions are not available. It is also possible to find the reverse light wire further up the vehicle at a place that is easier to access. You would need to...

  • Is Drilling Required to Install Trailer Hitch on 2017 Dodge Durango
  • Nope, you sure won't. There is absolutely no drilling required to install a trailer hitch on your 2017 Dodge Durango, it is a complete bolt-on installation.

  • Parts Needed to Install the Curt Discovery Brake Controller # C51120 on a 2013 Dodge Durango
  • The Curt Discovery Trailer Brake Controller, # C84VV, and the Custom Wiring Adapter, # C51446, will work on your 2013 Dodge Durango without splicing as long as your Durango came with a factory 7-way trailer connector at the trailer hitch. The 7-way trailer connector would indicate that your truck has the factory tow package, which would include a brake controller plug under the drivers side dash.

  • Does 2018 Dodge Durango Need to be Flashed to Install Brake Controller
  • While I don't know off-hand whether or not you'll have to get your 2018 Dodge Durango flashed to use a brake controller like the P3 # 90195 with the Adapter # TK93VR, there is an easy way to figure that out. At the very least you should see the 12V power pin active, but if you plug in your trailer and the lights are working then you shouldn't have to take your Durango in to a dealer. If you don't have a trailer then you can use a circuit tester like part # PTW2979 to test your 7-Way pin...

The wiring harness plugs into a connector already on your vehicle. The connector is located underneath the dash,...

  • Will the ETBC7 Provide Reverse Lockout Functionality on 2017 Dodge Durango for Boat Trailer
  • Adding a 7-way connection with the # ETBC7 Universal Installation Kit will provide you with the reverse lockout you need to make sure the brakes do not engage in reverse. Since it sounds like you have a 5-way connection on your boat trailer, you will also need an adapter like the Hopkins Endurance, Flex-Coil Trailer Connector Adapter - 7-Way to 5-Way or 4-Way Flat # HM47075. This would allow you to plug your 5-way connection from the trailer into the 7-way connection on your vehicle. Another...

This controller will get the signal from your brake pedal and then apply the trailer brakes at a, user set, pre-determined level no matter how fast the vehicle is stopping.

  • Tekonsha P3 Brake Controller Installation in a 2014 Dodge Durango Citadel

I attached installation instructions for this and an install video for you to check out also. If...

  • Wiring Brakes On Tandem Axle Trailer
  • Typically trailer wiring is color coded. The brake circuit is usually a blue wire which travels to each brake magnet, where it is attached to one wire from each brake magnet. The other wire from each brake magnet will ground to the trailer frame. I have attached a drawing that shows how the wiring is typically run for brakes on a trailer. I have also attached a link to trailer wiring diagrams that may help.

  • Is It Required to Run Power Wire for Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness on 2019 Dodge Durango
  • It is required to run a power wire from the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness part # C56336 to the battery on a 2019 Dodge Durango. The power wire is actually what provides power to the lights on the trailer. The tee connectors simply obtain the signal. The vehicle's factory tail light circuits are not rated for the extra power needed for trailer tail lights so you'll need to pull power from the battery for these. It's really not that big of a deal to run the power wire, just follow...

  • Where to Install the Stromberg Carlson Ladder on a Travel Trailer
  • When installing a ladder like the Stromberg Carlson RV Exterior Ladder # LA-401 we always recommend contacting the manufacturer unless you are using it as a replacement. The reason being that you don't want to compromise the integrity of your travel trailer but it does need to be installed on solid anchor points. It is possible to try locating some supports (magnets won't work with aluminum) but I would contact the manufacturer or a shop that regularly installs ladders just to be safe.
