What gear should you use to pull a horse trailer?
A vehicle that is properly set up for towing. Meaning it has the towing capability for the trailer one intends on towing as well as electric brake and light hook-ups.
What is tongue weight while towing a boat?
The tongue of the trailer presses down on the trailer hitch, and that is tongue weight. How hard it presses down is a function of the weight in front of the trailer wheels, and how much of the weight is not offset by the weight behind the wheels. If the tongue weight is too great, the rear of the towing vehicle goes down. Too light, and the boat trailer will swing side to side.
When towing travel trailer both blinkers blink when right turn signal?
The condition you describe suggests that the wiring to or on the trailer was not done correctly. In the towing vehicle there are two separate conductors [wires], left and right, going from the turn signal control switch, one to each of the vehicle's rear turn signal bulbs. When a vehicle is "wired" for trailer lighting, a connector plug pigtail is tapped into the vehicle's tail light, brake light, and turn signal electrical wires. The pigtailed connector plug kit usually contains a color coded schematic diagram indicating which wires on the plug pigtail are to be connected to the vehicle's lighting system, and for the trailer harness. From the connector plug at the front of the trailer tongue, there are separate wires going to the left and to the right turn signal lamps or filaments. There is one of two circumstances causing the error responsible for both turn signal bulbs on the trailer to flash at the same time: 1. The wires in the vehicle pigtail are both connected to the same turn signal wire at the rear of the towing vehicle, or 2. The two separate wires in the trailer wiring harness, or pigtail, are somehow interconnected. The correction for this is to have someone, who knows what he/she is doing, to troubleshoot the connections at the rear of the towing vehicle and in the trailer wiring harness, locate the cause of the interconnect, and properly remove the fault.
You rewired your trailer and you have all of the lights but no brake lights?
Your trailer tailights are dual-filament, with one being the running lights and the other the brake lights. You need a separate power source from your towing vehicle's brake lights to power them. The easiest way to do this is go to U-Haul and but a set of their trailer towing taillight bulbs for your towing vehicle. The bulbs replace your standard tail/brake light bulbs, and they have two wires coming out of the base of the bulb. One of the wires connects to your trailer's running lights, and the other one connects to your trailer's brake light circuit. I'm trusting that when you re-wired your trailer, you ran two wires from the taillight socket, one for the running lights and one for the brake lights. In some trailers, the brake light circuit also doubles as your turn signals. Good Luck.

How high can a load be on a Utility trailer that is 5' X 8'?
This depends on the axle rating on the trailer...most likely a 5X8 has a light duty axle wich is less than 2000# but may be less doesnt matter what size trailer a load is on,but the legal height for any load on any vehicle is 13'6" however,common sense would tell you if a load is to high for safe towing
Where can you find the trailer lighting connector for Honda CR-V?
The CR-V is a very light duty vehicle and has a towing capacity of only 1,000 pounds. I'm not certain that the vehicle came factory-equipped with a trailer wiring harness. HOWEVER - if it does exist look CAREFULLY underneath the rear of the CR-V for the wiring (if it exists) to be tucked up and into the rear area somewhere, perhaps underneath the rear bumper housing.
What causes a trailer light to not work only when the headlights are on and the brake depressed?
Sounds like a weak ground connection somewhere on the trailer or tow vehicle.
What is the max. towing capacity of a 1995 Chevrolet Corsica?
While you might be able to get by towing a small, light trailer, that particular vehicle is not designed to tow anything substantial. If you need to tow on a regular basis, get an astrovan with a tow package or small pickup at the very minimum. Anytime you use a passenger car to tow you are putting the drivetrain at risk. They aren't really engineered for that.
What is the difference between Chrysler Pacifica with tow package and one without?

Where are the trailer light fuses on a 2006 titan?
behind the battery under the plastic cover. They will have empty slots where they would go. Unless you have the factory towing package.
Your brake lights quit working on your 1996 GMC Z71 truck and The brake light switch and harness have been replaced but they still don't work. Also my hazard lights and backup lights don't work either?
If there is a trailer wiring harness on the vehicle for towing unplug harness under drivers side rear tail light to eliminate the trailer wiring that's probably the issue then plug factory wires together
