- Only Getting 12 Volt Power At The Back Of My 2011 Chevy Traverse When Testing A 7 Way Plug
- I know this will sound obvious, so don't get mad, but make sure the vehicle is on and the specific function you are testing for is being engaged. This is a very commonly missed step and you would be surprised how often this gets everything working. However, if you are already doing this, let's try something else.
As you said you had replaced the fuse box and relays, I am assuming you have the factory tow package on your 2011 Chevrolet Traverse. Generally I will start by saying the towing...

- Normally wiring harnesses last for years if not decades. Since you have been having so much trouble with yours, It sounds like you have a short somewhere, likely on the trailer, that is killing your converters.
When a converter goes bad, it is generally a short that is the cause. It essentially protects your vehicle's wiring system from the short. Make sure all of the wiring and connections on the trailer are in good shape. Look for any pinch points or exposed wires that are exposed...

- It sounds like you have a short and possibly a loose or damaged connection somewhere. A short like this is usually caused by corrosion in a trailer connector or a pinched or damaged wire. I do also recommend changing the white wire ground location from the aftermarket 7-Way to a different bare metal surface (to cover all our bases).
Make sure that the 7-Way connector is clean and free of corrosion inside, where the wires attach, and outside on the pins. Check the wiring as best as you...

- The Forest River Flagstaff 822 did not come from the factory with electric brakes as standard equipment. In order to add some you'd likely need the Electric Trailer Brake Kit part # AKEBRK-2 and Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly part # AKHD-545-2-1K for L44643 (1") bearings or part # AKHD-545-2-2K for L44649 ("1.063) bearings. If you don't know which bearings you have you'll need to pop off the hub and measure. In order to complete the swap you'll also need the etrailer Trailer Wiring 7-Way...

- I wish we had something but if you are positive you have a totally naked roof on your 2017 Kia Sedona we won't have a roof rack for it. If you did have the rails the Rhino Rack kit part # RRVA137S-2 and # RRSX023 would be what you'd need.

- Based on what you stated it would sound like the trailer wiring harness converter box you have installed on your 2009 Kia Sedona has shorted out and is in need of replacing. What you described doing is the correct way to test a converter box for being functional.
For a new trailer wiring harness you would want the part # 118410.
Before you replace it you will want to inspect the wiring of your trailer to see if you can find anything that would cause the box to short out like corrosion...
view full answer... - Problems with Trailer Wiring Working Intermittently on a 2012 Kia Sadona
- If the wiring harness you have is the correct harness for your Sedona and is working intermittently, you can most likely solve the issue by doing a bit of troubleshooting. Check the ground wire connection first. Make sure it is attached to a clean metal surface that is free of corrosion, paint and primer. Next check the connectors to make sure none of the pins in the connectors are bent and that the connectors are fully seated an the locking tabs are engaged fully.
If you cannot get the...

- My records show that you purchased the T-One Wiring Harness, # 118410, for your 2008 Kia Sedona. It is possible that the converter box shorted out on the wiring harness when the wires frayed.
To see if everything is still functioning properly, I recommend using a circuit tester like # PTW2993 to check the functioning of the 4-way on the vehicle. I would start by testing the wires going into the converter box. The white wire is going to be your ground on this harness. The yellow wire...

- Sounds like the problem could be somewhere in the socket or bulb of your trailer if when you move the bulb in the socket it works temporarily. Almost makes me think there is corrosion in the sockets.
Or the other most likely solution would be that the grounds are not adequate for the lights. I would recommend you check that the light assemblies are attached to a clean metal surface. Corrosion here will cause problems and should be cleaned as needed.
Since you tested the 4-way of the Curt...

- What you described sounds like a shorted out converter box. Nearly every time one of the boxes fails the symptoms you described are what happens. Also, the Curt harnesses are notorious for shorting out easier than the Tekonsha. I would recommend you go with the part # 118410 after seeing if you can find the short that's on your trailer's wiring.
Now if your trailer does not have brakes all you would need is the part # 37185 as an adapter to convert the 4-way to a 7-way.
If you do have...

- Sounds like the power converter on your T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness, # 118410, has shorted out and will need to be replaced.
The converter is designed to divert the lighting signal when you turn on your lights or use the brakes or the turn signals on your Sedona. If these functions are not working properly, then the issue is in the converter box.
Before you replace it you will want to inspect the wiring of your trailer to see if you can find anything that would cause the box to short...

- Thank you for your recent hitch and wiring harness purchase. I am sorry that Curt 4-pole wiring harness C56151 is giving you trouble in your 2016 Kia Sedona, which is intended for vehicles with the tow package. We're glad to help you troubleshoot.
It sounds like you applied a circuit tester like # PTW2993 to the pins on the 4-pole after you competed the installation. We know the harness is getting power since it is able to deliver the running light signal to your trailer. This means the...
view full answer... - Recommended 4-Pole Trailer Wiring Harness for 2015 Kia Sedona
- Installation of a trailer wiring harness like Curt # C56332 certainly should not have caused battery discharge in your 2015 Kia Sedona but we have seen this issue on occasion. The powered converter in this part does draw 12V power directly from the battery to power the trailer lights but in normal circumstances is should not be enough to discharge your battery. The low-level voltage reading you found at the 4-pole connector is normal but there could be an internal short that is draining...
view full answer... - Troubleshooting 4-Way on 2007 Kia Sedona with Only LeftStop/Turn Signal Working
- It sounds like the wiring for your 4-Way connector is either damaged or the unit itself is worn out. You can try using a circuit tester like part # PTW2993 to pierce the wiring harness at different points (if the wiring itself looks good) to determine where the signal drop off occurs. It is always best to check your ground connection as well.
If you are able to locate where the drop off is then you can simply replace the 4-Way with part # 18252 but instead of using the quick splicers it...

- You are describing a textbook example of a bad converter. The signal is correct going into the converter but not correct coming out that means that something is wrong inside the converter and it will need to be replaced.
This can be a common occurrence if a unit has been in service for a long time, if there was s short on the trailer, or some other electrical disturbance on the vehicle side. You will want to make sure that there are no shorts on the trailer by looking for nicks in the...
view full answer... - What is the Distance Between the Bolt Holes of the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13340
- I went out into our warehouse and measured a Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13340 and found the distance from the bolt hole center to bolt hole center was 36-1/2 inches. Check out the picture I attached to see this measurement.
If you measured from the inside of the bolt hole to the inside of the other bolt hole and came up with 36 inches you should still be fine since the bolt holes are slotted for extra flexibility when installing this hitch.
Sometimes hitches can get slightly bent...
