• Replacement Motor on an RV Step Working Backwards
• I called my contact at Lippert to see if they had any experience with this. There are three possibilities for why your Replacement Motor for Kwikee 25 Series, part # LC369506, is working backwards. The first is that the plug was inserted into the motor backwards. Check the connection to make sure that red lines up with red and yellow with yellow. The second is there is something wrong with the magnetic door switch. You can try using a magnet when the door is open to "trick" the module...

• Fix for Loud Squeaky RV Faucet
• The first thing to check is that the O-rings inside the valve might need lubrication. If you do a youtube search on 'squeaky RV faucet', you can see a video showing how to fix it. Secondly, it's possible that the faucet is just plain worn out. Unlike residential fixtures, RV fixtures are designed to be lightweight and are designed for occasional, not constant use so they'll be primarily constructed of plastic rather than metal. Because of that, RV fixtures just aren't typically going to...

• Is a Fuse Needed for Center of Pin on Isolation Solenoid # PK5231201
• It isn't necessary to run a fuse to the center pin of the Isolation Solenoid part # PK5231201 as this circuit simply closes the circuit between the two pins on the outside posts of the solenoid.

• Troubleshooting Trailer Brakes that Lock Up After 7-Way Install
• Sounds like you somehow have the 12 volt accessory circuit shorted out or miswired to the brake output circuit. Does the 1:00 pin of the 7-way have voltage all the time too? If so then it has to be a short, if not that would mean the circuits were wired backwards and you could just swap the wires that feed the 1:00 and 5:00 positions and that would take care of the problem.

• Troubleshooting Running Lights on Trailer Not Working with One Particular Tow Vehicle
• You'll want to check the running light circuit on the trailer connector of your 2013 Chevy Silverado to see if the plug is supplying power there; it's possible that the wire for that circuit has become damaged. You'll want to use a a circuit tester on the blade located in the 11 o'clock position (when looking at the front of the recepticle) and see if it is powered when the truck's lights are turned on. If you don't already have a circuit tester you can use part # PTW2993. If there is...

• Troubleshooting Stoplight Circuit of Trailer Wiring Not Functioning
• If you have the other lighting functions of the Hopkins 4-way part # HM48895 working but not the brake lights and you have checked that the red wire of the converter is getting voltage the first thing I would try is improving the ground of the converter box. If that doesn't fix the problem it would have to be that the converter box is bad. Also make sure you you are checking the pins of the 4-way with a circuit tester like part # PTW2993 on the pins of the 4-way so that you know for sure...

• Troubleshooting a B&W Companion Hitch Bolt That Tightens But Latch Handle Still Pulls Out
• It sounds like what's going on with your # BWRVK3500 is that the socket adjuster on the inside of the post is on top of the post instead of going through it. You'll want to have the latch handle out completely in the open position and then loosen bolt up; then make sure that the socket adjuster that the bolt threads into is low enough and get it positioned in the socket. It's likely on top of the pin which is why it's tightening, but still opening. If you can go through this process and...

• Clicking Noise From Tekonsha Primus IQ Trailer Brake Controller
• It sounds like you have some wiring issues with the Tekonsha Primus IQ Trailer Brake Controller part # TK90160. The clicking noise is caused by the brake controller turning itself off due to a short detected. Therefore, you will need to check each of the wires for the brake controller and how you have them ran as it sounds like you could have more than one issue. The red wire will go to the cold side of the brake pedal, the white wire will go to the negative battery terminal, the black...

• No Trailer Tail Lights On 2016 Lexus NX 200t With Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness
• The correct Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness for a 2016 Lexus NX 200t (F-Sport Included) is part # C56268 so we first need to confirm this is what you have. Once this is done we then need to confirm the vehicle's running lights are working correctly. If so then test the brown wire with a circuit tester before it enters the converter box while the signal is active. If you don't have power here then there is an issue with the vehicle's wiring so make sure you have the pigtail ran to...

• Monitor for Furrion FOS43TASF Observation Camera System Not Getting Power
• If you're not seeing the blue LED on the monitor, it means that it's not getting power. You can use a circuit tester like # PTW2993 on the 12-V accessory socket to make sure it's getting power. If it's not, check the fuse for the 12-V outlet and replace. If the socket is getting power, the fuse in the plug itself is likely blown. Unscrew the metal tip of the plug as shown in the photo and check the fuse. You might not be able to visually confirm if it's blown, so it's not a bad idea to...

• Trailer Lights Come On and Off Randomly After Rain Storm On 2012 Ford Escape
• The issue you are having with your trailer lights sounds like the converter box is bad and will then need to be replaced as these cannot be repaired. The T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector part # 118551 is what I recommend using as it is the most reliable option we have for a 2012 Ford Escape. If you wanted to be sure the converter box was the issue then all you need to do is take a circuit tester and test the wires leading into the box and then leaving the...

• Curt Triflex Brake Controller Displaying d.C. Error Code when Trailer Connected
• When the display flashes a d.C. code, it means no trailer is connected (or at least that's what it's detecting). This could be either because the trailer connection has become unplugged, there is a bad pin, a bad wire or the trailer brake magnets are malfunctioning. To start, check trailer connector and make sure both the trailer and vehicle ends are free of corrosion or rust and no pins are loose or missing. Also check for any crimped, frayed or pinched wires and repair as needed. I recommend...

• CTEK Multi US Charger Green Flashing Power Light
• You're correct that the green flashing power light on the CTEK MULTI US 7002 # CTEK56353 is normal- the green power indicator light should be continually flashing during the reconditioning or charging process. If it is not flashing then the charger is not recognizing the battery. This could be due to an bad connection or a completely dead battery. Normally the reconditioning cycle occurs at the beginning of the cycle, so it still should have provided a full charge on this battery. If it...

• Trailer Running Lights Only Work While Coupled To Trailer
• The issue with your running lights is indeed caused by the trailer and the lack of a solid ground. That said, this is an easy fix as all you will need to do is run a ground jumper wire from each running light to the main trailer connector ground and then re-ground all of these wires to a new bare metal surface on the trailer coupler that is free of paint. If the ring terminal crimp is not tight or the crimp for the running light ground wires is also not tight then this will affect continuity...

• Why is Truck Battery Draining With Trailer Plug Disconnected
• There could be many reasons why your truck's battery is draining when the trailer's electrical plug is disconnected. However, only one has to do with the trailer causing the issue. If your vehicle battery maintains its charge when the trailer is NOT plugged in, this would point to a rather unusual situation where your trailer battery is actually grounding through the gooseneck coupler and passing the current through the ball and eventually to the frame of your tow vehicle. Check both...

• Pop & Lock Custom Tailgate Lock Will Not Unlock with Door Lock
• I spoke to my contact at Pop & Lock about the Pop & Lock Custom Tailgate Lock part # PAL8250 and they informed me that your issue sounds like there is a problem with the wiring rather than a problem with the actual device. In order to confirm this you can indeed check for voltage. That said, you will need to first disconnect the actuator from the handle and then test the lock and unlock wires feeding the actuator. The corresponding wires should then show power when you lock and unlock the...

• How to Isolate Stop Light Signal for 3rd Brake Light on 2017 Ford Fusion
• Thank you for all of the information about the wiring you are using for flat towing your 2017 Ford Fusion. If you are using the Curt 2-To-3-Wire Tail Light Converter # C56196 in conjunction with a wiring kit like the Tow Ready # TR118821 it should work properly to isolate the 3rd brake light signal but you need to make sure that you are connecting the right and left turn wires to something on the output side. A common misconception is that you can just cap those wires off but when I've...

• Lippert 6 Point Ground Control System Monitor is Blank But System is Still Working
• It sounds like the display for the system may just need to be reset; we've seen this reported before and if you can unplug it, let it sit for a few minutes and then plug it back in- it might solve your problem. We've seen just doing that alone fix most of the problems with the control panels. Since everything else is working, it sounds like the display may just be the issue. If you've already followed this step and that doesn't solve your issue you might want to consider replacing the...

• 12 Volt Power At Trailer Connector Not Functioning on 2011 Ford F250
• You likely have a bad or missing fuse or relay in the power distribution box under the hood. Look for a 25A fuse in position 90 and a relay in position # 102. Examine the fuse and replace if necessary. It's not typically possible to look at a relay and be able to determine if it's bad, but you can replace it with an adjacent relay to see if that activates the circuit. If that doesn't fix the problem, given the fact that the vehicle is 8 years old, before taking it to the dealer, I'd just...
