2015 Toyota Venza Wiring Comparison

Written by Hitchweb Team Wednesday, October 7, 2015

Question: Why are there two different styles of harnesses? One appears to connect to the battery(Part # 118482) and the other does not(Part # 56079). Is one better than the other or used for different application?

 

 


Tow Ready T-Connector #118482 installation:

This custom-fit T-One connector plugs into your vehicle's wiring harness, which is located behind the driver's-side and passenger's-side interior trim panels in your rear cargo area. Once you've plugged in the T-connector, run the hot lead up to your car battery. Connect the lead to the included fuse holder, and then connect the fuse holder to the positive terminal on your battery and insert the provided fuse.

Once installation is complete, the 4-way flat connector will be stowed in an out-of-the-way location within your cargo area....

What Brakes Will Replace The Ones On My 5th Wheel Trailer

Written by Hitchweb Team Wednesday, September 30, 2015

Question: I have a 5th wheel trailer loaded weight of 14,500. The brakes need replacing. They are currently Dexter Nev-R-Adjust brakes, part numbers 023-464 and 023-465. The actual brakes look like part numbers 023-180 and 023-181 which are not classed as Nev-R-Adjust brakes. There is a $40 difference between sets. Will either set work as well on my trailer?

Reply: 

Both brakes will work for your trailer. It comes down to whether you would like to stick with the Nev-R-Adjust Electric brakes or go for regular electric brakes. Nev-R-Adjust electric brakes automatically adjust themselves to proper alignment, regular electric brakes do not do this.

Why Is My Exhaust Rattling On My Trailer Hitch

Written by Hitchweb Team Tuesday, September 1, 2015

My exhaust is rattling on my trailer hitch - how do I fix this?

If you have confirmed that this is the correct trailer hitch for your vehicle and followed all installation steps (such as lowering the exhaust if necessary) then there are a few solutions to this problem:

  1. Bend the exhaust hanger at various points to raise or lower the exhaust. This will move it away from the hitch.
  2. Unbolt and reposition the bolt on hanger.
  3. Replace the rubber isolator as the weight of the exhaust may stretch this connector, causing the exhaust to hang lower.
  4. Take your vehicle to a professional installer to inspect that the trailer hitch installation was done correctly.

If you are still experiencing rattling after trying all 4 of these options, we suggest contacting the manfucturer with your vehicle's VIN number and trailer hitch part number for further assistance.
