ISSUE WITH 118266 HARNESS

Written by Hitchweb Team Wednesday, June 4, 2014

WHY ARE THE BLUE AND BLACK WIRES REVERSED ON THE 118266 HARNESS?

VEHICLES: 
05-13 Nissan Frontier
05-12 Nissan Pathfinder
05-13 Nissan Xterra
09-13 Suzuki Equator

For undetermined reasons, some Nissan and Suzuki vehicles with factory tow package wiring have been found with the Electric Brake and Battery Charge wires reversed in the vehicle’s main harness. This issue has been found on a very limited basis, but includes all models that use the 118266 and 118267 harnesses. The reversed wiring will cause the trailer’s Electric Brakes to lock as soon as the trailer is plugged into the vehicle’s 7-way and the vehicle’s ignition is in the Run position. If this occurs, disconnect the trailer’s plug and the Electric Brake Control from the vehicle. Next, verify the vehicle’s 7-way functions, specifically the Battery Charge (pin 4), and the Electric Brake (pin 2) pins with a test light or voltmeter to ensure the functions are correct.

Exhaust Rattles On 60305 Hitch

Written by Hitchweb Team Thursday, May 22, 2014

I installed the Hidden Hitch #60305 trailer hitch on my Impreza Sedan and the exhaust is rattling.

There has been some complaints about these trailer hitches rattling on the sideplate on the 2012 - 2014 Subaru Impreza Sedans. The manufacturer is aware but this hitch is still being confirmed to fit and is still being sold. They are trying to work on the issue but have not found a solution, because of this we have removed the item from our website.

The Curt #112843 has a cutout in the sideplate which might negate this issue. We have not received any compaints on this trailer hitch.

Please contact our team if you have any questions - Hitchweb Team

What Is Rear Fascia

Written by Hitchweb Team Wednesday, May 21, 2014

The tech notes on your website show rear fascia trimming is required, what is 'rear fascia' ?

The rear fascia is what most people would call the rear bumper or the single panel that conceals the bumper. This is usually made of a soft, plastic material.
