Expert Answers about Toyota Sequoia
- Curt TriFlex Trailer Brake Controller Shows While Driving
- If the Curt TriFlex Trailer Brake Controller part # C24VV is showing a "--" in your 2003 Toyota Sequoia while driving then this points to an issue with the power and or ground supply. I would first start off by removing the ground, sanding down the surface, and then reconnecting with new hardware/connectors. Once the ground is checked you will then need to move onto the power wire tracing it back to the battery while looking for breaks. I would also make sure the ring terminal around the...

- If your 2002 Toyota Sequoia has a factory trailer tow package wiring that the 4-Pole connector is plugged in to, you can test the factory wiring to ensure it is functioning properly.
Unplugging the 4-Pole connector will provide access to the pins for the factory wiring. You will want to use a circuit tester, like # PTW2993, to test the pins on the factory wiring. They should test for taillights, right stop and turn, and left stop and turn. I have attached a video on testing with the...
view full answer... - Trailer Brakes Not Performing Well After Installing New Brake Assemblies and Drums
- The fact that a trailer brake won't lock doesn't necessarily indicate a problem. For best braking, you do not want the brakes to lock up. A skidding tire doesn't provide optimal braking. However, if you can get things adjusted so that the brakes apply to a degree just short of lock up, you'll have the most effective braking possible. Since you have new hubs and brake assemblies, you shouldn't need to sand anything.
Since the magnets are getting 12 volts, the most likely cause of what...
view full answer... - Trailer Lights Working Intermittently when Connected to a 2002 Toyota Sequoia
- Since the trailer wiring harness on your 2002 Toyota Sequoia is working properly the issue must be on the trailer. There are multiple grounds for trailer lights so it could still be a ground issue. The lights working intermittently suggests a ground issue, corroded connector, or break in the wiring, but not really a short. Make sure the trailer side connector is clean and free of corrosion inside, if applicable, and outside on the pins.
The main trailer connector ground and the grounds...

- I spoke to my contact at Tekonsha about the problems you are experiencing with your Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Trailer Brake Controller part # 90195. They speculated that the initial drive test was not performed with the trailer brakes warmed up. This would cause the brakes to feel weak when cold and then aggressive as they warm. I recommend re-performing the drive test when the brakes on the trailer have been properly warmed.
You can see the instructions to complete the above process on page...

- The most likely cause of no power to the trailer brake controller on a 2013 Toyota Sequoia is a missing or blown fuse. I checked the owner's manual for you and found a 30 amp fuse # 16 labeled "TOW BRK". Therefore, you'll want to change/check this fuse according. If the fuse is still good then there is likely further issues that require dealer assistance or you can bypass the issue with an option like the Curt Echo Wireless Trailer Brake Controller part # C51180 which just plugs into the...

- Since the Hopkins Plug-In Simple Vehicle Wiring Harness for Factory Tow Package - 7-Way and 4-Flat Connectors # HM11143325 you have is designed specifically for your 2008 Toyota Sequoia, then it should have the wires in the correct location.
You can test this with a circuit tester like # PTW2993. You will want to test the 1 o'clock pin of the 7-way and it should have 12v power constantly, and next test the 5 o'clock pin on the 7-way connector it should only have 12v power when the brake...

- Ideally you're staying under the weight capacity of the hitch on your 2018 Toyota Sequoia SR5, but if the weight of the carrier and cargo is more than what the tongue weight of your trailer hitch is rated for then that would be why it looks like your hitch is overloaded - because it is.
If you're within your weight capacity then you could just be seeing the stress of the weight taking a toll on the rear suspension of your vehicle and to remedy that we have the Air Lift 1000 Air Helper...
view full answer... - Troubleshooting Trailer Running Lights After Installation of Light Kit
- Often when trailer lights funtion except the tail or running lights the issue is a bad ground. Unlike stop and turn lights that come on an off, running lights remain on and this means they pull more current. A weak ground may still allow those other functions to operate and reveal itself only when your load draws higher current, such as when the taillights are on.
Check the main white ground wire on both the vehicle harness and the trailer harness. (Focus on the vehicle since the trailer...
view full answer... - Only Right Turn/Brake Lights Work After Installing Trailer Wiring Harness on a 2003 Toyota Sequoia
- In order for the trailer connector # 20137 to work, your 2003 Toyota Sequoia would need to have been equipped with a factory 7-Way trailer connector. If it never had a factory 7-Way, even though the connection points are there, the harness will not be fully functional. You may be able to take the vehicle to a dealer to have the missing components installed to make it fully functional. Also, it is possible that some relays or fuses would need to be installed in order for the connector to...

- Since your 7-way trailer connector on your 2017 Toyota Sequoia was factory-installed, all needed fuses, circuit breakers or wiring connections should have been completed either at the factory or at least by the dealership. The 12V auxiliary power feed on the 7-way will be fuse- or breaker-protected (usually a 40-amp). You might just double-check the fuses since the label or marking on the 12V feed could say different things. You are correct that the ignition key usually controls the 12V...

- The Tekonsha Voyager brake controller # 39510 will not light up at all unless a trailer is connected. Once a trailer is connected the indicator will be green. Using the manual override or brake pedal will change the indicator to red.
If it does not light up when a trailer is connected then it could be a dirty or corroded trailer connector so make sure both the vehicle and trailer side connectors are clean and free of corrosion inside, where the wires attach, and outside on the pins. It...
view full answer... - P3 Trailer Brake Controller Will Not Power Up on a 2014 Toyota Sequoia
- There may have been a short in the installation process that caused the fuse that powers the brake controller to blow. You will want to use the owner's manual for your 2014 Toyota Sequoia to locate the brake controller fuse and check it.
I would make that additional ground connection first and then plug everything in. If the controller still does not power on use a circuit tester such as # PTW2993 to test the black wire. If there is 12-volt power on that wire, then the controller is getting...
