  • Towing 2018 Buick Enclave on Tow Dolly
  • Once the battery is unhooked, it's definitely possible that you'll need to reset the stored information such as radio settings and clocks, etc. This being said, I am puzzled by the part of the procedure where Buick states to open the hood, then wait two minutes before detaching the negative battery terminal. It makes me wonder if there's maybe a capacitor that saves those settings for you. I searched online for quite a bit and wasn't able to find an explanation, so you might want to check...

  • Replacement Bumper Mounted Spare Tire Carrier For Travel Trailer
  • There is not a replacement rectangular piece of metal that holds the wheel in place for your bumper-mounted spare tire carrier. There is nothing I am aware of that can be used as some sort of alternative, the only option that I know will work is to replace the carrier with the Ultra-Fab Folding Spare Tire Carrier # UF15-954730 or Bumper Mounted Tire Carrier - U-Bolt Mount # TR-1.

  • Are Cable Zip Ties Required To Secure Curt Auxiliary LED Indicator Lights # C53201 To a Bike Rack?
  • The 3M adhesive backing on the Curt Auxiliary LED Indicator Lights # C53201 is a very strong adhesive that will last for a long time. It is important to have a smooth clean surface to attach the lights, otherwise they may not stay attached. While you will not need Cable Ties # DW05727-25 to hold the lights themselves in place they should be used to secure the wiring and prevent it from getting caught on part of your bikes when loading and unloading,

  • Supplemental Braking System for 2017 Buick Envision
  • A supplemental braking system is a requirement in most states now, so you would need to consult your local state laws to find out if it is required where you live. Even if it is not, a supplemental braking system is a very good idea because it makes flat towing a vehicle such as your 2017 Buick Envision much safer because it will allow your RV to stop at a quicker pace. A supplemental system is also going to put much less strain on the braking system and chassis of your RV and Buick which...

  • Are Aftermarket Transmission Coolers Less Expensive Than a New Radiator
  • While an aftermarket transmission cooler such as the Derale Series 8000 Plate-Fin Transmission Cooler Kit w/Barb Inlets - Class III - Efficient # D13502 is definitely less expensive than a brand new radiator, I cannot recommend this as a quality alternative to repairing a leaking radiator - you should definitely get that fixed.

  • Are Diodes Needed When Using the Roadmaster Tail Light Wiring Kit # RM-155 on 2014 Buick Enclave
  • Diodes are only for situations where you are using the towed vehicles factory tail lights and wires. When using the Roadmaster Tail Light Wiring Kit, # RM-155, it provides dedicated tail lights and wires so diodes are not needed. I have attached a picture which shows the recommended location for drilling and installing the bulb and socket.

  • Trailer Hitch Options For 2015 Buick Encore To Replace Damaged Trailer Hitch
  • I am sorry to hear about the trailer hitch you had on your 2015 Encore. I am curious though. Can you tell me what you had on the hitch at the time? If the hitch was installed properly and you were not carrying something that exceeded the weight capacity, the hitch should not have bent like that and certainly should not have hit the ground. The Curt hitch # C11527 is the only hitch that we carry for your Encore at this time. The Curt hitch # C11527 requires that all non-trailer loads...

  • Determining If Surge Brake Actuator Has Lockout or If Brakes are Free-Backing
  • The only way to turn a surge brake actuator "off" is to engage a lockout on the actuator. Some actuators have manual lockouts, others have electric lockouts, and some have no way to lock out the actuator. Typically, free-backing brakes are used with actuators that have no lockout. As long as the trailer brakes engaging when your tow vehicle is stopping, the brakes are working correctly. I have attached photos showing a manual lockout and electric lockout to help you determine if your actuator...

  • What Is The Process For Prepping a 2020 Buick Envision To Be Flat Towed?
  • According to the owners manual for the 2020 Buick Envision you will have a similar process. First you will secure your Envision to the motorhome, then turn on the ignition and switch to neutral. With the transmission in neutral you will turn off the ignition and then there are 2 fuses in the instrument control panel that will need pulled to prevent draining the battery. Or you can install the Roadmaster FuseMaster Fuse Bypass Switch # RM76512 to simply switch off the fuses when you are...

  • Can Fascia Cover of 2015 Buick Enclave Be Reinstalled After Draw-Tite Class III Hitch is Installed
  • On Enclave model years after 2012, the fascia door can be reinstalled after the hitch is in place, and removed when the hitch is needed. On older models, you'll need to get a different fascia cover that sticks out a bit further from the dealer's parts department. For your 2015 Enclave, the fascia door will still fit after the hitch is installed, as you can see in the video I've linked for you.

  • Complete Flat Towing Setup And Fuse Bypass Kit For A 2018 Buick Envision?
  • Fuses F29 and F32 are directly related to the Body Control Module (BCM). Typically in modern automobiles, the BCM controls the power windows, power mirrors, air conditioning, immobilizer system, central locking, etc. The BCM also communicates with other on-board computers using the car's vehicle bus, and its main purpose is to control load drivers, which are actuating relays that in turn perform actions in the vehicle such as locking the doors, flashing the turn signals (in older cars),...
