Trailer Wiring Harness
The vehicle is equipped with one of
the following wiring harnesses for
towing a trailer or hauling a slide-in
camper.
Basic Trailer Wiring
All regular, double cab, and crew
cab pickups have a seven-wire
trailer towing harness.
For vehicles not equipped with
heavy-duty trailering, the harness is
secured to the vehicle's frame
behind the spare tire mount. The
harness requires the installation of a
trailer connector, which is available
through your dealer.
Use only a round, seven-wire
connector with flat blade terminals
meeting SAE J2863 specifications
for proper electrical connectivity.
The seven-wire harness contains
the following trailer circuits:
.Green/Violet: Right Stop/Turn
Signal
. Yellow/Gray: Left Stop/Turn
Signal .
Gray/Brown: Taillamps/Parking
Lamps
. White/Green: Back-up Lamps
. Red/Green: Battery Feed
. White: Ground
. Blue: Electric Trailer Brake
The fuse for the electric trailer brake
circuit is installed in the underhood
electrical center, but the wires may
not be connected. They should be
connected by your dealer or a
qualified service center. To control
electric trailer brakes, a trailer brake
controller needs to be installed on
the vehicle by your dealer or a
qualified service center, see
“Electric Brake Control Wiring
Provisions” later in this section. Heavy-Duty Trailer Wiring Harness
Package
For vehicles equipped with
heavy-duty trailering, the harness
connector is mounted in the bumper.
