If you have the optional trailering package, your vehicle
will have an eight-wire
harness, including the center
high-mounted stoplamp battery feed wire. The harness
is stored
on the passenger’s side of the vehicle near the
rear wheel well. This harness has
a 30 amp battery feed
wire and
no connector, and should be wired by a
qualified electrical technician. After choosing an
aftermarket trailer mating connector pair, have the
technician attach one connector to
the eight-wire trailer
harness and the other connector to the wiring harness on
the trailer. Be sure the wiring harness on the trailer is
taped or strapped to the trailer’s frame rail and leave
it
loose enough so the wiring doesn’t bend or break, but
not
so loose that it drags on the ground. The eight-wire
harness must be routed out of your vehicle between the
rear door and the floor, with enough of the harness left
on both sides so that the trailer or the body won’t pull it. If
you do
not have the optional trailering package, your
vehicle will
still have a trailering harness. The harness is
located near the passenger’s side rear wheel well. It
consists
of six wires that may be used by after-market
trailer hitch installers.
The technician can use the
following color code chart when connecting
the wiring
harness
to your trailer.
Brown: Rear lamps.
0 Yellow: Left stoplamp and turn signal.
Dark Green: Right stoplamp and turn signal.
White (Heavy Gage): Ground.
0 Light Green: Back-up lamps.
0 White (Light Gage): Center High-Mounted
Stoplamp.
Blue: Auxiliary circuit (eight-wire harness only).
0 Orange: Fused auxiliary (eight-wire harness only).
Store the harness
in its original place. Wrap the harness
together and tie
it neatly so it won’t be damaged.
