1998 GMC SIERRA turn signal

Trailer Wiring Harness
A. Light-Duty Wiring Harness
B. Additional Heavy-Duty Wiring
C. Tie Straps
A eight-wire harness is stored under the rear end of your
vehicle. Five wires (A) are located between the rear
bumper and the spare tire, near the center. This wiring
harnewis tie-strapped to the taillamp and stoplamp
harness. Three wires (B) (light gauge white, blue and
orange) are located at
the rear left hand frame rail. 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 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 that the
wiring harness on the trailer is strapped to the trailer’s
frame and leave
it loose enough so that the wiring
doesn’t bend or break, but not
so loose that it drags on
the ground. The technician can use the following color
code chart when connecting the wiring harness to
your trailer.
0 Brown: Rear Lamps
0 Yellow: Left Stoplamp and Turn Signal
0 Dark Green: Right Stoplamp and Turn Signal
0 White (Heavy Gauge): Ground
0 Light Green: Back-up Lamps
0 White (Light Gauge): Center High-Mounted
Stop Lamp
0 Blue: Auxiliary/Electric Trailer Brake Circuit
0 Orange: Fused Auxiliary Circuit
Store the harness
in its original place. Wrap the harness
together and tie
it neatly so it won’t be damaged.

Your hazard warning flashers let you warn others. They
also let police know you have a problem. Your front and
rear turn signal lamps will flash on and off.
But they won't flash
if you're braking.
I
Your hazard warning flashers work no matter what
position your key is in,
and even if the key isn't in.
To turn off the flashers, press the button until the fist
click
and release.
When
the hazard warning flashers are on, your turn
signals won't work.
