■Trailer brakes
Recommended for any trailer with a total weight of 1,000 lbs (450 kg) or more:
There are two common types of trailer brake s:
surge and electric. Surge brakes are
common for boat trailers, since the brakes will get wet.
If you choose electric brakes, be sure they
are electronically actuated. Do not
attempt to attach trailer brakes to your ve hicle's hydraulic system, as it will lower
braking effectiveness and create a potential hazard.
The 4-pin gray connector installed in your vehicle has all of the circuits required to
install m
ost electric trailer brake controllers.
Have a qualified mechanic install your trailer
brake controller following

the trailer brake
controller manufacturer’s instructions. Failure
to properly install the trailer brake controller
may increase the distance it takes for you to
stop your vehicle when towing a trailer.
The trailer jumper harness i
s used to install the
controller for the electric trailer brakes.
Insert the trailer brake fuse into the engine
co
mpartment sub fuse box.
