Heavy-DutyTrailer Wiring Harness
Package
For vehicles equipped with heavy duty trailering, the
harness is connected to a bracket on the hitch platform.
The seven-wire harness contains the following trailer
circuits:
Yellow: Left Stop/Turn Signal
Dark Green: Right Stop/Turn Signal
Brown: Taillamps
White: Ground
Light Green: Back-up Lamps
Red: Battery Feed*
Dark Blue: Trailer Brake**The fuses for these two circuits are installed in the
underhood electrical center, but the wires are not
connected. They should be connected by your
dealer/retailer or a qualied service center. The fuse
and wire for the ITBC is factory installed and connected
if the vehicle is equipped with an ITBC. The fuse for
the battery feed is not required if the vehicle has
an auxiliary battery. If the vehicle does not have an
auxiliary battery, have your dealer/retailer or authorized
service center install the required fuse.
If charging a remote (non-vehicle) battery, press the
tow/haul mode button located at the end of the shift lever.
This will boost the vehicle system voltage and properly
charge the battery. If the trailer is too light for tow/haul
mode, turn on the headlamps as a second way to boost
the vehicle system and charge the battery.
