Whenever you pull a trailer, regardless of the trailer size, stop lights and turn signals on the trailer are required for motoring safety.
The Trailer Tow Package may include a four- and seven-pin wiring harness. Use a factory approved trailer harness and connector.
Do not cut or splice wiring into the vehicle’s wiring harness.
The electrical connections are all complete to the vehicle but you must mate the harness to a trailer connector. Refer to the following illustrations.
-
Disconnect the trailer wiring connector from the vehicle (or any other device plugged into vehicle’s electrical connectors) before launching a boat into water.
-
Be sure to reconnect once clear from water area.
