    Trailer Light Taillight Converter Installation
    The installation instructions listed below are for a taillight converter with
    a power isolation circuit. Power is taken from the car, truck, suv, van, etc.
    tow vehicle battery to power the trailer lights. If you are hooking up a
    standard taillight converter, disregard the battery connection on the
    diagram and instructions.

    Instructions

    1.) Determine a suitable location for mounting the circuit protected
    converter in an out of the way spot near the left tail lights in the trunk or on
    the frame rail, if mounted under the towing vehicle.

    2.) Ground the white ground wire by placing the ring terminal under an
    existing screw attached to a clean metal surface or by drilling another 3/32"
    hole and using one of the self tapping screws provided.

    3.) Disconnect the tow vehicle's negative (-) battery cable.

    4.) Cut the in-line fuse holder loop wiring.

    5.) Using a ring terminal (3/8 inch for top terminal or 1/2 inch for side
    terminal), attach an in-line fuse holder (with fuse removed) to the positive (+)
    terminal of the battery.

    6.) Route black 12 gauge wire from the fuse holder to the converter
    passing under or through the vehicle.
    Note: When passing the wire through sheet
    metal always go through an existing grommet, add a grommet or use silicone
    rubber to insulate the wire from the hole.

    7.) Attach 12 gauge wire to the fuse holder with the yellow **** connector.

    8.) Reconnect the tow vehicle (-) negative battery cable. Note: See tow
    vehicle owners manual for any special battery reconnection and instructions.

    9.) Determine if the towing vehicle has a 2 wire or 3 wire system.

    2 Wire System



        Has same bulb for stop and turn signals.

        Some vehicles have a separate bulb for stoplights but also have a
        combination bulb for turn and stop. These cars should be wired as 2 wire
        systems, using the wires going to the common bulbs.

        Note: Attach the crimp on spade terminal provided to the red stop
        wire and ground it along with the white wire.

    3 Wire System

        Has amber turn signals, separate.

        Has separate bulbs for stop and turn signals (both red).

        Note: Attach red wire to tow vehicles brake light circuit.

    10.) Using a circuit tester or volt ohm meter (VOM), determine which wire
    attached to the left taillight assembly is the left turn wire. Attach the units
    yellow left turn wire to this wire using one of the blue wire taps provided.
    Determine which wire is the taillight circuit and attach the module's brown
    tail / license wire to it with a wire tap. Determine which wire is the stop
    circuit and attach the module's red stop wire to it with a wire tap (for 3
    wire systems only, see step 9).

    11.) Route the units green right turn wire to the right side of the
    vehicle. Determine which wire is the right turn circuit and attach the green
    wire to it with a wire tap.

    12.) Install the fuse into fuse holder and test the installation with a
    circuit light or trailer.

    13.) Secure all loose wiring with cable ties.



    Testing Procedure


    With the ground wire connected and all of the other circuits attached, attach
    the ground lead of a circuit tester to the exposed ground terminal of the 4-flat
    end. Activate the tow vehicle left turn, right turn, tail and stop lights one
    at a time. Probe the three receptacles of the 4-flat end to confirm proper
    functions. If testing with a trailer, make the proper connections and do the
    same test as the circuit tester using the trailer lights. If a function on the
    trailer lights does not work properly, disconnect the trailer lights, turn
    functions on vehicle off and recheck function with the unit with a circuit
    tester. Then check the trailer wiring for potential circuit problems.

    Estimating Trailer Amperage Per Circuit
    Stop-Turn Lights / 2 Amps each
    Trailights / 1 Amp each
    Crearance and Marker lights / 1/2 Amp each


    NOTE:
    For estimating use only. Amperage is
    rounded to the nearest whole value. May not apply in all cases. Always check
    with your tow vehicles owners manual about adding additional loads to your
    electrical system. Some 12 volt batteries produce up to 14.5 volts. Use a
    VOM (volt ohm meter) to test.

    If you know the wattage of the bulbs on your trailer you can use the
    formula P = I X E

    P = watts

    I = amps

    E = 12 (volts)

2008 Saturn Astra XR. Replacing the gasket kit.

You need to ascertain where the oil is coming from the Rocker Cover Gasket or the PCV valve?

https://www.google.com/search?q=2008+saturn+astra+xr+replace+rocker+cover+gasket

Replace the gasket and see if it continues. It is a pain to replace the PCV according to this. You may be able to clean it with carburetor cleaner when the rocker cover is off.

I have a 2000 dodge ram 1500 5.2 ltr. It has a 6-way round set up. My trailer has a 7-way flat wiring harness. I need to know if i have to rewire my intire truck or if there is an adapter that i can splice...

I had an odd type of fixture on my trailer too. I went to Tractor Supply and bought an adapter. I would imagine the brand of trailer you have should make adapter "PIGS" for what they sell. An RV parts outlet should carry something for you too.

Another place which may be able to help you is "U-Haul". They used to install trailer hitches and put permanent wiring into vehicles for an additional fee when renting their stuff.

I need the wiring code for a 2008 grand caravan so I can install a trailer hitch. How can I get this info?

You can buy an adapter that will go in between your rear lights & main harness under van at connector, that will allow you to hook it up correctly. If it's a small trailer & no brakes on it, you may get a way with a flat 4 connection, provided your signals & brakes light use same bulb, otherwise you will need a small inline converter wired in also. Get back if you need more clarification. If only flat 4 and no brakes req'd, you can splice in to wires inside rear hatch that go to tailights. You decide & let me know if you need help. P.S. All you need is a test light (12v) and some connectors.
