Troubleshooting a Curt Q24 5th Wheel Hitch That is in Between Positions
Question:
My Q24 won’t hook up, the release rod will not stay in the yellow connect poison the yellow mark is not line up with the hole it much further in by the long slot. We I watch your video you pull the release and then the yellow lines up with mine will not.

Expert Reply:
From what you are describing it sounds like your Curt Q24 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # C16245 is out of sync. This is when the jaws are semi-open and interlocked/interlaced with each other. The lock bar is somewhere in between full, retracted position and full, extended position. This configuration means that the movable jaw has become out of time with the second fixed jaw.
You will want to inspect that the flip lock is hanging free in its clockwise, rotated position. Pull the lock bar to its full, extended position and release. The jaws should re-time themselves. You will then visually check that jaws are open and ready to receive the trailer's kingpin (yellow dot).
