- UWS Tool Box Security, Could a Thief Buy all the Keys and Unlock All UWS Boxes
- You are correct in that anybody with a # KEYCH508 could unlock your UWS tool box that takes that key. However, it's not likely that a thief would go out and buy all of the UWS tool box keys and then go around stealing the contents of the UWS toolboxes. Is it possible? Yes, but not a reasonable thing for you to worry about. Most thieves are opportunistic and don't pre-meditate things as far as this.
If your box is locked you should feel secure enough that someone wouldn't be able to easily...

- I contacted UWS, and they gave me a couple of solutions to get your tool box to open.
UWS suggested to first try to push down on the top of the lid to make sure the lid is close all the way and latch. Then turn the key to the unlock position and then pull both paddle handles to open lid.
If this does not open the tool box lid, then there might be something in the box that that could be interfering with the connecting rod between the latch and the handle. They suggested parking on a downhill...

- It sounds like there is a ground issue on the trailer. Typically, when there is erratic taillight behavior it is because something is not grounded correctly on the trailer. Especially since the guys at the trailer rental place tested the 4-way and said it was working correctly.
To rule this out you could try hooking the 4-way of your 2011 Toyota RAV4 to a different trailer and see if the problem persists. If the problem goes away, you know that it was the trailer and the Tow Ready Custom...

- Many times the vehicle manufacturer will actually provide a fuse puller in the fuse box, if there isn't one in one of the 4 fuse boxes, you can use a purpose-built fuse puller available from an auto parts store or in a pinch, a pair of tweezers will work. Avoid the temptation to use needle nose pliers, as you can easily damage something. Per the owner's manual, fuse F15 and F43 deal with the trailer lamps.
Typically when a towing circuit fuse blows, it's been caused by a short circuit...

- If you have not already done so you can adjust the brake pad pressure star wheel to increase the pad pressure on the hub surface. This will increase your braking force. Since it sounds like all the brakes are behaving in the same way (and have the same modest wear) this is most likely the issue.
You can use the brake spoon adjustment tool # W80630 or a flat blade screwdriver to rotate the star wheel upward (as viewed from the rear of the brake, where the adjustment slot is). Please refer...
view full answer... - Tips for Preventing and Stopping Trailer Sway Caused by Passing Semi Truck
- The best defense against trailer sway is proper trailer loading. You need to have the tongue weight of your trailer between 10 and 15 percent of the total trailer weight otherwise sway is very possible. Other possibility is that the trailer isn't sitting level.
Another thing that can help stop sway that starts from a semi truck like yours is to use the manual override lever of your brake control to smoothly apply the brakes of the trailer. That will quickly stop the sway.

- I contacted Master Lock directly regarding the Master Lock Safe Space Portable Storage Box with Combination Lock # ML5900D . The first suggestion was that sometimes even when the correct combination is entered and the numbers are ever slightly offset, it can release the cable while not allowing the door open.
The second suggestion was that after trying to realign and reenter the code and it still will not open, using a flat surface tool like a srewdriver may open the door used carefully.

- The cushion block on the Trailair Rota-Flex 5th Wheel Pin Box # LC328330 is not a replaceable part so I would first reach out to Lippert directly to see if this would qualify for a warranty replacement. If not you'd be looking at replacing the entire pin box. To do this you would have to first determine the bolt pattern. There's typically a sticker that has a serial number and RPO number that we can use to verify the bolt pattern, otherwise you'll need to follow the steps listed in the...

- It sounds like there is an internal issue with either the Thermostat # FACW12PA-BL or the Control Box #FACC12SA-BL on your Furrion AC in your 2022 Grand Design Transcend. The E3 error code indicates and error in communication from the control box to the thermostat. As this is a fairly new camper you should check with your RV dealer to see if they can get the issue corrected under warranty for you. They should also have the tools needed to test both the control box and thermostat without...

- If your Dexter EOH brake actuator # K71-651 has not recently been relocated on the trailer to a spot that gets less air flow and you have not installed any new equipment like a tool box that could block air flow to cool it then the most likely cause for the overheating is a clog in the brake lines. This would cause the unit to have to work too hard to push brake fluid through the lines.
Do the brakes still seem to function with the normal braking force you're used to?
If not then a clog...

- Thank you for reporting the additional information that you found the vacuume line at the box end wasn't holding pressure so you clipped off 3/8" to get fresh connection. Also that you found that low voltage is only an issue when the towing vehicle was not running.
Checking voltage is made easy with the Performance Tools # PT89ZR Digital Multimeter. Even if you already own a voltage meter, the very reasonable price of this unit means you can buy an extra one to keep with your RV for...

- I do have an option for you but we don't have any specific tools to clean a trailer connector. That said, if you are getting intermittent signals this can be caused by either corrosion or worn terminals. If you don't see any corrosion then it's most likely the latter and you'd be best off to just replace the connector either on the vehicle or trailer. If you can send me a photo of either I'd be able to see about getting you the correct replacements but it sounds like you might need the...
view full answer... - Will Bias Ply Trailer Tire Sidewalls Flex Less than Radial and Help With Snowmobile Trailer Sway
- Snowmobile trailers are notorious for having sway problems due to their short lengths and wide construction. this makes it hard to load the trailer with enough tongue weight to eliminate trailer sway, especially at higher speeds. The best prevention against trailer sway is proper trailer loading.
Going with a bias ply ST rated trailer tire may help a bit because the tire construction is inline with the tires direction of travel and the radial tires construction is across the direction...

- I spoke with my Yakima representative, who tells me that your best bet would be to get the remaining piece of the key out of the lock if at all possible. To do this, you'll need some spray lubricant like PB blaster or WD-40 and a small tool like a dental pick and some fine needle nose pliers.
First, thoroughly saturate the lock with the spray. Then use the dental pick to work around the serrated edge of the key, pulling gently outward. Once you get enough of the key extricated, you can...

- Thanks for all the details of your troubleshooting efforts with the trailer wiring on your 2012 Frontier.
Since your old fuses were not blown and your new fuses that have the indicator lights did not light up this tends to suggest that your tow package relays are not working and this is why power is not making it to the fuses or to the trailer connector. On the passenger side of the engine compartment close to the windshield are both a fuse box and a smaller fuse/relay box. Both are shown...

- After installing replacement brakes such as the Dexter Nev-R-Adjust Electric Trailer Brake Kit, # 23-468-469, proper adjustment is needed for that initial setting. If your brakes are engaging but not enough to apply ample friction for stopping then you have either not adjusted/installed the brakes correctly or there is an issue with brake controller side of the system. You will need to ensure there is enough voltage going to the brakes for proper engagement, check your wiring.

- It really sounds like everything on the brake controller side of the trailer brakes is working properly. It's showing a connection, voltage, and you can hear the brakes apply. I'd assume at this point the problem is the brakes on the trailer. Most likely they are out of adjustment or a blown grease seal is causing them to not be effective.
On electric drum brakes there is a star wheel at the bottoms of the assemblies that you can turn using a flat head screw driver or brake adjusting...

- You said you checked the fuses. Some motorhomes have fuse boxes in multiple locations, inside the engine compartment, inside the cab under the dash, and even in the camper sewer/electrical compartment.
Sometimes a fuse may appear to be in good condition, but really needs replacing. To rule that out, take a new fuse that has the same rating and insert it into the proper location. If the problem is a short, and the next fuse that you insert shorts out as well, you will need to use the circuit...
