Additional Heavy-Duty Wiring
A eight-wire harness is stored under the rear end of your
vehicle. The five-wire light-duty harness
is
located at
the left hand 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
(if
equipped).
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.

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