Trailer
Wiring
Harness
The light duty trailer wiring is
a
six-wire harness
assembly. The optional heavy duty trailer wiring is
an
eight-wire harness assembly. The harnesses are stored
under the vehicle, on
the driver’s side corner frame
crossmember. The heavy duty trailer wiring
has
a
30-amp feed wire
with
an inline fuse located by the
junction block. See “Fuses and Circuit Breakers”
in
the
Index. Both harnesses have no connector and should be
wired by a qualified electrical technician. The technician
can use
the following color
code chart when connecting
the wiring harness to your trailer.
0
DARK
BLUE:
Use for electric trailer brakes or
auxiliary wiring.
0
RED:
Use for battery charging;
it
connects to the
starter solenoid (eight-wire harness only).
0
LIGHT
GREEN:
Back-up lamps (eight-wire
harness only).
BROWN:
Taillamps and parking lamps.
YELLOW:
Left stoplamp and
turn
signal.
DARK
GREEN:

Securely attach the harness to the trailer, then tape or
strap
it
to your vehicle’s frame rail. Be sure you leave it
loose enough
so
the wiring doesn’t bend or break,
but
not
so
loose that
it
drags on
the ground. Store the
harness
in
its original place. Wrap the harness together
and
tie
it
neatly
so
it
won’t be damaged.
