• Troubleshooting Winch that Suddenly Isnt Operating With Switches
• The Superwinch LT2000 ATV Winch is a nice winch, and it sounds like you have had good experiences thus far. With the snow plow, the winch should work fine as long as the winch itself is operational. I recommend using a circuit tester like # PTW2993 to check your connections. First check the power between your battery positive terminal and the circuit breaker. Then check power between the circuit breaker and the solenoid. Then check the power between the solenoid and the switch when...

• Troubleshooting Winch On UTV that Stalls Out Engine When Operated
• What is happening is that your winch is drawing too much and is causing the ignition to stop working on your 2007 Polaris UTV. Typically this is caused by faulty wiring, but since yours is brand new the problem is most likely that you have a bad battery that can't handle the load the winch puts on the system. If you rev up the engine while using the winch and it seems to work then the problem would be the battery.

• After Repairing Damaged 4-Way Trailer Brake Lights/Turn Signals Not Working with 2004 Ford F-250
• What probably happened was when the 4-Way connector was damaged on your 2004 Ford F-250 it could have caused a short in the tow package wiring for the brake light/trunk signal circuits or it is damaged further forward somewhere on the truck. If none of the tow package fuses are blown and you can't see any other damage then the easiest solution would be to hardwire in a new 4-Way using # 18252. This is a basic hardwire 4-Way that comes with a circuit tester and quick splice connectors. The...

• Suspension Enhancement Recommendation for 2012 Dodge Ram 2500 with Salt Spreader
• 5,000 lbs in the bed of your 2012 Dodge Ram 2500 is quite a bit of weight. First I'd recommend checking with Ram to be sure you aren't exceeding the capacity. For a super heavy setup like you have the suspension enhancement I would recommend is the Firestone Ride Rite Red Label Extreme Duty kit part # F2701 which can provide up to an additional 7,500 lbs of suspension support. You'll want a heavy duty compressor to fill the bags like the Firestone part # F2097. This will allow you to...

• Troubleshooting Thule Snow Chain # TH01221090 Installation on a 2005 Scion tc
• For your 2005 Scion tc with p215/45R17 tires the Standard Snow Tire Chains for Passenger Vehicles by Thule - CB12 - Size 090, part # TH01221090, is the correct size for your tire. I spoke with our installer (the guy you see in the installation video I attached below) and he said you may be encountering a couple different problems. The first thing he said to try was to take the chains and lay them out, and look for any tangles, and make sure that none of the chains are twisted up at all. Next,...

• Do Tire Chains for 2022 Subaru Outback Wagon Work with ABS and AWD
• The tire chains part # PWRS79 that fit the tire size of 225/65-17 that you have on your 2022 Subaru Outback Wagon are totally fine to use with AWD vehicles with ABS systems. Like with any winter driving your ABS system is probably going to be working differently in the snow but the chains will give you a ton more traction. AWD is not an issue at all. I attached an install video for these chains on a similar Outback for you to check out as well.

• Snow-Ex Salt Spreader Not Receiving Power From 7-Way Trailer Connector on Truck
• First thing to check would be the 7-Way on the truck using a circuit tester like part # 3808. It will be wired according to the diagram on the wiring FAQ page you were looking at. The center post, labeled auxiliary in the diagram, will probably be wired as reverse lights. Check the instructions on the spreader to see how the 7-Way on the spreader is wired. It may be wired to get power from the center post, in which case you would have power to the spreader while in reverse. If your truck...

• Troubleshooting Axle Out Of Alignment On a 2016 Grand Design Imagine 2600RB Travel Trailer
• A Bushing # TRBU11566 would not cause the trailer axle spread to be off by 1/2". The first step I recommend taking is to verify you have all the correct leaf springs on your 2016 Grand Design Imagine 2600RB. As leaf springs can become longer from eyelet to eyelet as they flatten be sure to measure all your springs from common points along the curve to ensure one was not replaced at some point and is what is causing your issue. The only alignment kit we have for your tandem axle is the...

• Troubleshooting Trailer Wiring on 2008 Snowbear 6x8 Utility Trailer
• The only difference between the run-of-the-mill 4 pole trailer connector and the one you describe is the fact that the one on your trailer split the running light circuit into two legs, one for the drivers side, using the yellow/brown wire and one for the passenger side, using the yellow/green wire. No worries about the length of your email, the more information, the better. When you mention that functionality of the lighting system changes with the running lamps on, it's a red flag that...

• Trouble Connecting the Inside Cable on Snow Cable Chains on a 2009 VW Jetta with 205/55-16 Tires
• The Glacier Cable Snow Tire Chains, (DISCONTINUED) PW1930V, (Now PW10300) that you referenced are the correct size for the 205/55-16 tires on your 2009 VW Jetta. There is a possibility that the tire brand on your Jetta is constructed differently than standard 205/55-16 tires and you would need to order a different size chain. The first thing to do is make sure you are installing the cables in the correct order. You should connect the inside cable, with only one stop, behind the tire first...

• Why Would Snow Cables Cause Inner Tire Clearance Issues on a 2008 Scion tC
• First thing you need to do is check the owners manual for your 2008 Scion tC to determine if cables/chains are okay to use on your vehicle. For some vehicles there just isn't enough inner tire clearance to use cables/chains. For your vehicle the only tire size info we have is 215/45-17 which calls for the # PW1034 Glacier cables. You may be trying to use a set of cables that are just too big and that is why there is the fit issue. For an option that does not put any portion of the chain...

• How Do I Make My Tire Chains Tighter on My 2017 F-150 with Tire Size 265/60/18?
• From the part number and the photos you provided, I am assuming you mean the Titan Snow Chains # TC2228CAM for your 265/60-18 tires on your 2017 Ford F-150. You are correct in determining that these chains will fit your tires. As far as troubleshooting the fitment issue, the first thing you need to check is to make sure there is no overlap of any of the links (they should all be completely spread out without bunching). The next thing is tightening; from the photos, it looks like the issue...

• Can Ski/Snowboard Carriers Fit On Malone Roof AirFlow2 Roof Rack MPG216
• The crossbars of the Malone AirFlow2 roof rack part # MPG216 are compatible with basically all standard ski/snowboard carriers that are out currently. The bar shape of this kit is very standard which allows most racks to fit around the bars and also the bars have channels on the top of the bars which allows the carriers with that style of attachment to fit too. A really popular snowboard carrier that would fit well on this rack is the Thule SnowPack part # TH7324 which would allow you...

• Is Frame Bolt of 2012 Smart fortwo Difficult to Remove
• We've installed the Curt hitch part # C11020 a couple times and did not have any issues getting any of the hardware loose on the vehicle. Hopefully the guy didn't destroy the bolt in the process of trying to get it out but hopefully a mechanic with more experience would have better luck. If you are in a climate that sees a lot of salt and snow it is possible the bolt could be corroded really bad but even then the bolt should still come out. Several applications of penetrating lube and enough...

• Troubleshooting 2010 Kia Sedona Wiring Harness
• 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...

• Replacing 4-Pole Trailer Connector on Snow Bear Trailer
• It sounds like the original wiring harness on that trailer was what is known as a wishbone harness. They will typically have 5 wires, green for right turn/brake, yellow for left turn/brake, white for ground and two brown wires for running lights. Sometimes one brown wire will have a green stripe and the other will have a yellow. This is done so that one running lamp circuit can run down either side of the trailer. If this is the case, you would connect the two running light circuits to...

• Troubleshooting Trailer Lights Not Working When Tow Vehicle Headlights Turn On
• Typically when turning on one of the light functions causes the other lights to cut out, it signals an issue with the ground connection on the trailer; the # ST6RB and # ST7RB lights both ground independently with their mounting hardware but there should be a ground wire on the trailer. I would start by checking the ground connection there and also cleaning off the trailer connectors to make sure there isn't any dirt or debris that's causing an issue. The next thing I would check out...
