An eight-wire harness is stored under the rear bumper of
your vehicle. The five
-wire light-duty harness is located
at the left rear inner lower quarter panel. The additional
heavy
-duty wiring is located forward of the rear bumper
and is attached to the center of the rear crossmember or
the forward vertical surface of the platform hitch.
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.Brown: Rear Lamps
Yellow: Left Stoplamp and Turn Signal
Dark Green: Right Stoplamp and Turn Signal
White (Heavy Gauge): Ground
Light Green: Back

White (Light Gauge): Center High

Store the harness in its original place. Wrap the harness
together and tie it neatly so it won't be damaged.
