We're new at all this.

Mine is wired to pin 4 of the plug in the rear. All Fords go through an ignition switch relay. Chev doesn't.

Does anyone have a solution for this problem?

I would double check this with Acme. The car's tranny does not need to be in neutral, but the steering lock must be disengaged (if there is a steering lock).

Most all cars have a differential type device in the driveline that will allow the wheels to turn opposite directions as the EZE-Tow makes turns. This is good. But, most of the turning is made by the toad's steering - just like a flat towed car.

There is no need for a pivot pan with the EZE-Tow because of the way the toad's wheels can make the turn. Pivot pans and steering axles (seen on other brand dollys) only add weight and increase the maint points. The EZE-Tow is simple as an anvil and works just as designed.

I tow on my EZE-Tow with the car's tranny in Park, the parking brake off, and the steering lock disengaged. Works perfectly

Safe travels

I run a charge line from pin 4 to my toad battery through a diode for isolation.

We do not have an opinion about the transmission position. It can be neutral or park. That is a choice for you to make. The column needs to be free to to turn.
Please watch our video on our website for complete information on using our dolly. The video address and answers the question about battery drainage. Thanks.

Our thanks to each one of you!! This site is great.
My husband and a friend of his decided that the easiest way to unlock the steering mechanism is to disengage the positive battery connection. He hasn't tried this yet but he will soon.
Thanks for telling us about Cliff's welding in Mesa! We're planning on going to Mesa in December!!
