Expert Answers about Replacement Mirrors

• Electrical Plug on Back of CIPA Rearview Mirror Keeps Falling Out
• The wide connector that plugs into the back of CIPA rearview mirror # CM36400 is supposed to clip and lock into place. If you are pushing it in all the way and it still falls out then there is either a problem with the little clip that holds it in or on the mirror housing itself. The connector is specific to the mirror so you wouldn't be able to find a replacement anywhere. If it was like this from the start it might be something that is covered under the 1-year limited warranty. If you...

• The only troubleshooting you can really do with the K-Source Custom Extendable Towing Mirrors # KS62093-94G would be to check that the wire harness is fully connected and that you didn't blow a fuse in the truck that could've killed the power to the mirrors. Once you've checked both of these I recommend reaching out to the manufacturer for a warranty replacement.

• Troubleshooting K-Source Universal Towing Mirrors That Folded In When Passing A Semi Truck
• I have not seen any customer feedback stating that the K-Source Universal Towing Mirrors # KS3891-2 have folded in when a semi truck passes by in the opposite direction, although I can see a big rig doing so if the tow mirrors were not completely tightened and secured to your factory mirrors. If the tow mirror itself folded in then I would make sure the screw on the back of the tow mirror is tight to reduce movement - do not overtighten since the housing is plastic. Also make sure that...

• How to Fix Extending Towing Mirrors for 2015 Toyota Tundra
• I checked with K-Source on the K-Source Custom Extendable Towing Mirrors part # KS70103-04T for your 2015 Toyota Tundra but there are unfortunately not any maintenance procedures. I'd recommend using some spray lubricate to free the slide mechanism and then some grease to prevent it from sticking again. If this does not work, best option would be to replace the mirror, part # KS70103T for passenger or part # KS70104T for driver.

I recommend checking your fuses in your owners manual as well and then testing with a...

• What Can I Do With Badly-Rusted Running Boards on My 2005 Ford Explorer Sport Trac?
• If you have rusted running boards, one labor-intensive option is to remove the bars and sand them until the rust comes off then polish the steel.

If you have the make and model of your running boards, I would happy to assist you in finding replacements if you provide that information. Fortunately,...

• Troubleshooting A Greystone Fireplace That No Longer Lights Up
• Unfortunately RV fireplace manufacturers will not offer replacement parts so when anything goes wrong it requires a complete replacement. The "flame" is really just a rod with a bunch of tiny mirrors on it that rotates and reflects the light up onto the screen to look like flames. The motor that spins the rods likely overloaded and caused the spark or the portion of the circuit board that controls the lighting is fried. To replace your unit you'll first need to remove the old one from the...

• Brakes Lock Up When Trailer is Connected with New Vehicle
• Yes, you can absolutely switch the blue brake output and black 12 volt power wires on your trailer. The 7-way on your 2018 GMC Sierra 1500 should mirror the photo I have attached for you below so that is what you will need to abide but so long as the vehicle side and trailer side both match it will be fine. Nissan is notorious for switching these wires at the factory so this is a rather common issue that is easy to fix. In regards to replacing your battery, there really isn't a stated...

• Troubleshooting No Tail Lights on 2019 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited When Being Flat Towed
• If the tail lights on your 2019 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited aren't working when hooked up to the RV, it's worth it to first test the 7-Way connector on the RV to make sure this circuit is active. Use a circuit tester like # PTW2979 on the running lights pin to make sure it gets power when those lights are activated. If there isn't power then the problem is actually on the RV side and the Jeep is good to go. If this is the case you would want to check for any related fuses (you can find their...

• The location of your fuse on your Jensen RV Stereo # JWM60A is on the back of the unit below the 20 pin connector. To access this fuse, you will have to remove the side panels, so you can access the screws. Once the screws are removed, you can access this fuse. You also might try checking your 12v power with # PTW2991 to ensure you're getting the proper operating voltage. If your 12v power is good, and the fuse is fine, then you most likely have a bad ground, check your solid black wire...

• 4-Way Trailer Connector on 2002 Ford Ranger Does Not Fit Trailer Side 4-Way Connector
• If the two connectors look exactly the same then they are not going to fit. They should be mirror opposites of each other. The vehicle side 4-Way, if they are 4-Ways, has 1 exposed pin and 3 covered pins. The trailer side with have 1 covered pin and 3 exposed pins like in the picture I have added. the ideal solution is to get connectors that will work together. If your truck side is not as I have described then use # 118344 and plug it in line with the vehicle tail lights. If it is the...

• Brake Controller Works with Manual Override but Not with Brake Pedal
• Most likely you have a blown stop light or CHMSL fuse on the tow vehicle. Consult the vehicle owner's manual and/or the legends on the fuse panel lids to find the locations of stop light/CHMSL fuses to check them. If the brake controller red wire is not showing any power when the brake pedal is pressed then it will not send power back. The manual override works independently of the brake pedal which is why the controller works fine when the override is used.

• Trouble Shooting A Rear View Safety Tailgate Handle Backup Camera With Monitor
• You are correct. One of the reasons the Rear View Safety Tailgate Handle Backup Camera and Rear View Mirror with Monitor, part # RVS-718-TAILGATE, is sealed is to keep out any condensation or water of any type. Here are some trouble shooting steps. 1. I am guessing that you have already tried to clean the lens with a microfiber cloth, if not, that is the first thing I would do, 2. I would remove the moisture from the camera with some sort of desiccant. In a pinch, rice does work. You...

• Pr Brake Controller NC Error on 2008 Dodge Ram
• The continuity check would tell you if the brake output wire is connected all the way back to the 7-Way trailer connector on your 2008 Dodge Ram. It is possible that it terminates in a forward connector near the drivers side front wheel well. It could also be that the brake controller is not sensing the brake magnets. If the trailer connector is not pinned out the same to be a mirror image of the vehicle side that could be the problem. If the trailer has a breakaway system then it could...
