  • How To Install Aftermarket Transmission Cooler On Vehicle with ATF Warmer
  • The ATF warmer will both bring transmission fluid up to temperature faster during startup and colder weather as well as reduce temperature when heat build-up occurs. This can sometimes contradict typical line testing results you'd be accustom to but a cooler such as the Derale Series 8000 Plate-Fin Transmission Cooler Kit part # D13502 will still need to be installed on the return line. It is best to use factory diagrams to identify the return line as opposed to testing by feel as you would...

  • Where Does a Tail Light Trailer Wiring Harness Install on a 2013 Honda Accord

  • Does Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Need Stabilizing Straps for a Bike Rack on a 2006 Honda Accord Coupe
  • The Draw-Tite trailer hitch, # 24787, for your 2006 Honda Accord Coupe, does not require additional straps when using a non-trailer load such as a bike rack, but it is not a bad idea to add them for extra support and stabilization. You can use something as simple as a Bungee Cord, like # 3031DAT. With a Class I trailer hitch like # 24787, you must choose the bike rack very carefully as the hitch only has a 200 pound tongue weight capacity. I recommend a light weight 2 bike rack like the...

  • Wiring Harness for a 1998 Honda Accord Activates the Brake Lights, Running Lights and Turn Signals
  • The custom plug and tow wiring harness we offer for the 1998 Honda Accord does activate the brake lights as well as the running lights and turn signals on the trailer.

It is always a good idea to apply a small amount of electric grease, like part # 11755, to all electrical connections to help prevent corrosion.

  • Wiring Harness for a 2004 Honda Accord Pulling a Boat Trailer
  • A converter for your vehicle will have 5 wires. Red - brake light, yellow - left turn, green - right turn, brown - tail/running light, and white is a ground. As far as what color wires you need to match to in your Accord, you will need to use a circuit tester, like part # PTW2993, and test the wires in the trunk. Pull back the liner from the driver side, behind the taillight and the fender, and look for the taillight wire bundles. We have a custom fit trailer harness for your 2004 Honda...

  • The MagnaFlow Stainless Steel Cat-Back Exhaust System - Gas, item # MF15690, for the 1998 - 2000 Honda Accord L4 2.3L Sedan will pass emissions testing as long as the vehicle it is installed on is in proper running condition to pass the emissions testing for the state you live in.

  • Trunk vs. Hitch Carrier for Transporting 2 Heavyweight Beach Cruisers on 2013 Honda Accord
  • No trunk-mount bike rack, including the excellent Thule OutWay 3-Bike Rack # TH56BV, allows you to open the vehicle trunk while the rack is installed. The reasons are that the attachment hooks may bind in the gap between the trunk lid and the vehicle body, potentially distorting one or both; and that the hinge that supports the trunk lid is designed to bear only the weight of the lid itself, not that plus the additional 19-lbs from the bike rack. For instances where you need to maintain...

  • Does Curt Vehicle WIring Harness For Trailer Connection Power Line Fuse Effect Vehicle Lights?
  • If the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # C56299 has a blown fuse on the power line, it will not allow the trailer lights to function as it is protecting the module, but it will not impact your vehicle tail lights if that fuse were to blow because it is on a different power supply and fuse from the manufacturer wiring.

These systems are extremely easy to install, and do not require altering the electrical system on the tow vehicle. This would be the ideal option for infrequent towing.

  • Tips for Difficult to See Furrion Vision S Screen of Monitor
  • If the Furrion Vision S system part # FCE48TASL-05 that you referenced has to compete with the brightness of a sunny day it's going to be more challenging to see the screen, so yes, a sunscreen would help as it would make the brightness of the display stand out more. Since we don't carry a sunscreen for it you could try to get creative and fabricate one or if you could move the display into an area with less sunlight that would work too.
