  • Trouble Shooting Tekonsha Primus IQ Item # TK90160 On 2018 Jeep Wrangler JL With Factory Tow Package
  • That is a great question and brake controllers can be nerve racking to figure out at first. The ( .c ) on the Tekonsha Primus IQ Item # TK90160 installed in your 2018 Jeep Wrangler means your trailer is connected but the boost feature is off. If it shows ( .c. ) then it means trailer connected with boost feature on. The 00 means you have the power control knob set to 0. You may also see this if you are sitting still applying the brakes. If you have the trailer connected and you hit the...

  • Troubleshooting Trailer Running Lights That Don't Work Like They Should
  • I do have ideas, which is that you almost certainly have an issue with a poor ground. I'm not 100% sure what you meant by "I then took the ground wire from the back of the Jeep and scraped the frame bottom" but you need to make sure your grounds are attached to bare metal surfaces and free of any paint, dirt or corrosion. Is that what you meant by scraping? If so, I'd go over it again and really give it a good, thorough cleaning. If that doesn't resolve the problem, you will want to check...

  • Troubleshooting LED Lighting on Tow Bar and Wiring Kit for Towing a 2018 Jeep JL Wrangler Unlimited
  • Since your Nighthawk All Terrain # RM-677 runs off of the running lights and you are having issues with the driver's side stop/turn function with the Hy-Power Diode Wiring Kit # RM-154 installed on your 2018 Jeep JL Wrangler Unlimited I recommend checking your connectors and grounds to make sure they are secure and that there aren't any places where there might be debris or corrosion. As far as the Hy-Power Diode Wiring Kit goes you may want to double check that you installed it using...

  • Troubleshooting Blown Fuse on Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness
  • If you haven't already, I would start by replacing that fuse. The # C56407 uses a 10 amp fuse. I'm assuming you repaired the short in the wiring as well so I would see if it works after the fuse is replaced. If it still doesn't work, it was probably damaged and should be replaced. For a replacement on your 2018 Jeep JL Wrangler I would choose the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # 118786. When it comes to wiring we have found Tekonsha to be the most reliable...

  • Replacement Diodes For A 2018 Jeep Wrangler JL
  • If the diode is bad then you can replace it with the Roadmaster Hy-Power Diodes (Qty 2) Item # RM-792. A bad diode does not allow current to flow in either direction. A multimeter will display OL in both directions when the diode is opened. A shorted diode has the same voltage drop reading (approximately 0.4v) in both directions. Since you have the wiring all pulled out it's also a good time to check for any kinks or cuts in the wiring and replace/repair as needed.

  • How Do I Convert A Blocking Type Surge Brake Solenoid To A Bypass Type Solenoid
  • In theory, we do have a solution that would turn your blocking solenoid into a bypass solenoid. The Demco Solenoid Kit for Brake Actuators with Reverse Lockouts - Bypass, part # DM5404, is designed just for this reason, to keep your trailer brakes from activating when you shift into reverse. Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee that it will work for your application. If that does not work, there is a slight chance you could swap out the master cylinder, but they are usually fit guided or...

  • Troubleshooting No Trailer Turn/Stop Lights When Connected to 2018 Jeep JL Wrangler
  • Since there are no pins for where the F107 and F109 fuses would install it makes me wonder if maybe a dealer installed an aftermarket wiring harness like the Curt # C56407 which doesn't require those fuses to operate. This kind of wiring kit tees in behind the tail lights and then draws power for the trailer lights directly from the battery on your 2018 Jeep JL Wrangler. With that being said, since you said you don't have those lights working on your trailer the first thing to do is to...
