  • Where to Find Cold Side Stop Lamp Switch Wire to Install Brake Controller on 2007 Chevy Express Van
  • The brake stop lamp switch is located at the top of the brake pedal of your 2008 Chevy Express. You're looking for the cold side circuit wire that only shows voltage when the brake pedal is pressed. This should be a white wire, but I'd recommend using a circuit tester like # PTW2993 to confirm. If you click the provided video link, and fast forward to the 20:15 mark, you can see where the stop lamp switch and the correct wire is located.

  • Hopkins Agility Brake Controller Installation in 2015 GMC Savana
  • The only reliable way to find the correct wires at a brake light switch to connect a brake controller is to test them with a tester like # PTW2993. Wire colors can vary across production runs and so it is best not to try to install the Agility # HM47295 based on wire colors. The red wire on the controller connects to the COLD side of the brake light switch. This is the wire that carries a 12V signal ONLY when the brake pedal is pressed, and at no other time. If you cannot find this wire...

  • Where Is The Fuse For The Brake Controller Power Wire On a GMC Savana Van
  • The brake controller power circuit on your 2017 GMC Savana Van is ran on a red/white wire that is under the dash, taped to three or four other wires with blunt cut ends. If this wire does not have power then you will need to connect the other end to the stud on your fuse box which can be seen in the attached photo. If you cannot locate the other end then you have a few options; call your local dealer to see if the location of this wire has changed or run your own power circuit using the...

  • Installation of the Lippert Components Bolt-On Shock Mount Kit # LC281281
  • I didn't get your photos, but I understand what you are asking and reached out to my tech contact at Lippert regarding your install of the Lippert Components Bolt-On Shock Mount Kit w/Heavy Duty Oil Shocks # LC281281. They said that inverting that top bracket may not allow the shock to fit properly so they can't advise to do that because they haven't tested it. Logically if the shock fits correctly in the bracket when inverted, it shouldn't be an issue but I can't give you a thumbs up...

  • Trailer Wiring Harness for a 2001 GMC Savanna
  • I checked the owners manual online for a 2001 GMC Savanna Van and it does not list any tow package fuses in either the in-cab fuse panel or the one under the hood. You can double-check your owners manual to confirm. If your van did not come with a trailer connector then to add a 4-Way flat you would need # 118377. Then to add a 7-Way you would need # ETBC7. I have included some links that show and explain the ETBC7 installation for you.

  • Finding the Brake Switch Wire on a 2013 GMC Savana to Install a Trailer Brake Controller
  • In order to find the correct brake switch wire, you are going to need to use a circuit tester, # PTW2993 if you need one, and test each wire. You will be looking for the one that only shows power when the brake pedal is pressed. If you think you have found it but it also shows power with the headlights or turn signals on it is not the correct wire. It is possible that it is a white wire you are looking for so I would start there. Manufacturers can use any wire color they want. They try...

  • In order to find the right shackle strap length to go with the Road Armor Shock Absorbing Equalizer Kit # LC696740 on your 2014 Keystone Passport you will need to measure your current shackle straps. It is important to keep them the same length as the ones you currently have. See the diagram below which shows where to measure.

  • Can the Ventline Ventadome Trailer Roof Vent Be Installed on a Van
  • Yes, you can use the Ventline Ventadome Trailer Roof Vent part # V2110SP-24 on your 2017 GMC Savana Van. However, it is designed for a roof thickness between 1-7/8" to 3". Therefore, if you don't meet the minimum requirement of 1-7/8" you will need to make some sort of spacer to make up the difference as the roof on your Savana Van is likely not very thick. For an alternative option that will fit a thinner roof (1-1/2") and won't require as much cutting, we have the Ventline Vanair Trailer...
