Towing safety in Helena MT
 
You should consider several factors in order to ensure your car is not damaged while it is being towed in Helena:
These include:

• Vehicle capacity

This is the amount of weight that a vehicle can tow. In most cases it is labeled on the trailer the maximum weight it can haul.
Mostly towing is also done via a trailer hitch. This affects the trailer capacity because in most case it has its own limits that it can support usually measured by the amount of weight that presses downward on the hitch. The hitch capacity is always stated in the documents of the vehicle as the specifications.

• Bypass system

The universal by pass electronic system is used as a shield for the cars lighting system in a situation where the towing trucks wiring breaks down.

When the tow truck wiring breaks down the system takes a small current signal from the vehicle’s lighting system thus triggering a relay then it sends direct power to the socket. While doing all these functions there is no communication with the vehicle so no safety systems will be activated. It is designed in a manner that it isolates the trailer wiring from that of the one that is being hauled. Therefore you are able to avoid overloading the vehicles lighting power.

Avoid the usage of solder or crimp connectors, but the system will protect the cars electrical modules when wiring stop functioning properly.

Note: Should not be used in cars that have sensors that activate towing related safety features. Some of car makers even restrict connections to the vehicles lighting power.
