  • Installation of CURT Trailer Hitch 11119 on a 2008 Pontiac Solstice
  • Yes, the installation procedure you see in the video would be the same for both the 2008 and 2009 model years of the Pontiac Solstice. As long as your vehicle is not a GXP model, you would be able to use the hitch # 11119 you referenced. To install the # 11119 CURT trailer hitch on your vehicle, you will first fish wire the included spacers and bolts through the existing holes on your vehicle frame. Then, you will place the passenger side attachment bracket over the exhaust with the driver's...

  • How To Install The T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness On A 2005 Pontiac Vibe
  • The T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector part # 118458 does not replace any of the connectors on the vehicle rather T's into them. There are two connectors that you will be connecting to on the back of the taillight housing. One is a 3 prong and one is a 2 prong. You will need to be sure you are attaching the correct pigtail from the harness to the connector on the tail light. For example, 3 prong from vehicle to 3 prong from wiring harness etc. We have a video...

  • Will Solera 12V Power RV Awning Conversion Kit Easily Replace Dometic Kit on RV
  • If you have a Dometic setup on your RV currently then the Solera 12V Power RV Awning Conversion Kit # LC434724 you are interested in will fit and work well as a replacement.

  • Will the Stay-IN-Play Work On a 2004 Pontiac Vibe With Brake Booster Behind Firewall
  • The Demco SBS Stay-IN-Play DUO Supplemental Braking System part # SM99251 is a great option for a 2004 Pontiac Vibe. It is not something we have installed on this exact vehicle but there are many instances which I have run into personally where the brake booster is directly behind the firewall where the brake pedal is. The standard practice we use when this is an issue is to drill a small pilot hole through the firewall then run a small wire though this to see how much room is there before...

  • Installation of a Brake Controller on a 2009 Pontiac Montana Van
  • On a 2009 Pontiac Montana Van the problem is that the installation of a brake controller can shut down the brake light system in the van. The red brake wire that is on the back of the brake controller is normally connected to the cold side of the brake light switch to activate the trailer brakes when the brake pedal is applied. If that red wire from the brake controller is connected to the cold side of the brake light switch on the Montana Van it will shut down the whole brake light system. I...

  • Installation of Timbren Suspension Springs TGMRLUM on a 1995 Pontiac Grand Prix
  • The installation of rear suspension enhancement kit # TGMRLUM is very straightforward on your 1995 Pontiac Grand Prix. You would start by lifting up the vehicle so that the axle is hanging freely, and you would locate the existing bump stop assembly. Remove the bump stop, but keep the fasteners, as these are used for the suspension kit installation. Once you have cleared the area, you would install the rubber spring and bracket in the same location, using your OEM fasteners. Finish...

  • How Does Brake Output Circuit of Brake Controller Get Connected to a 2005 Pontiac Vibe with 7-Way
  • Since your 2005 Pontiac Vibe would not have came from the factory with a 7-way the one you have would be an aftermarket one. To connect to the blue wire of the connector will require you to run a 10 gauge wire back from the blue wire of the controller to the blue wire of the 7-way which would be the pin in the 5:00 position of the connector. I attached an install video that shows a brake controller and 7-way being installed in a similar 2003 Pontiac Vibe as yours for you to check out to...

  • Does Tow Ready Custom Vehicle Wiring # 118458 Require a Battery Connection, 2003 Pontiac Vibe GT
  • The Tow Ready Custom Fit Vehicle Wiring, # 118458, does not require a direct connection to the battery when installing and can be used on your 2003 Pontiac Vibe GT. However, the benefit of a system that does include a direct connection to the battery, like Curt Custom Fit Vehicle Wiring, # 55057, is that it protects your vehicles sensitive wiring from too much amperage draw from the trailer lights, which could damage the electrical system on your 2003 Pontiac Vibe GT. The fuse protected...

  • The short answer is both. There are attachment points on the bottom of the frame and on the bumper mounts. I have included a link to the installation instructions for you to view.

For trailer wiring use # 119178KIT. I have linked the wiring instructions as well.

  • Installation of Bearing Buddy Trailer Bearing Protectors on Trailer Hub

  • Two Front M12 Bolts Will Not Tighten with etrailer Hitch e98865 On a 2007 Pontiac Torrent
  • In regards to the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver part # e98865 on your 2007 Pontiac Torrent, the first issue you are having with the weld nuts inside the bumper beam is most likely due to them being stripped. This would have most likely been caused by the threads not being cleaned properly before the bolt was threaded in. Unfortunately, the fix for this will be to either drill and tap these nuts with the next size up drill bit/tap or to remove the weld nut and then use a carriage bolt...

  • Magnaflow Cat Back Exhaust for 2001 Pontiac Trans AM
  • The Cat Back Exhaust system will bolt up to the catalytic converter extension pipe with no modifications needed. However, in order to remove the existing exhaust, cutting the over the axle pipe just to the rear of the axle will be required (unless you feel brave enough to lower the rear axle). The system uses clamps, no welding is required. For your convenience, I will include a link to the installation instructions. You can find the link below.

  • How Is Jeep Style Fender HP99VR Mounted to the Trailer
  • Single axle fender # HP99VR is a weld on application, so it is intended to be mounted by welding it directly to the side of the trailer using a wire feed or stick style weld. I would recommend using a certified welder in your area.

  • Which Brake Switch Wire on 2008 Pontiac Torrent to Connect to Tekonsha Voyager Brake Controller
  • I have linked an article that describes the location of the BCM (Body Control Module). If you cannot locate the cold-side wire at the brake pedal switch using a tester such as # PTW2993 you can instead use the wire on the BCM that activates the center high-mount stop light (CHMSL) to provide the activation signal for the Voyager. You will need to test the wires at the BCM to find the one that carries voltage only when the brake pedal is pressed (often this is a white wire). Please refer...

  • Curt Wiring Harness Recommendation for a 1999 Pontiac Grand Am
  • The Curt Custom Fit Vehicle Wiring # C56175 that you referenced is the correct wiring kit for your 1999 Pontiac Grand Am. In order to install this you will basically just need a circuit tester like our part # PTW2993 to determine which wire is what on the tail light harness of your vehicle. Basically you will just wire it up like the box recommends. For the green wire of the converter box you would run a wire to the right turn circuit, the red wire to the stop light circuit, the yellow...
