Towing Requirements - Trailer Lights and Wiring

Whenever you tow a trailer, regardless of trailer size, trailer stop and turn signals are required for safe operation.

A trailer tow package may include a four-pin or seven-pin wiring harness. Use a wiring harness and connector for the trailer approved by the vehicle manufacturer.

NOTE:

Do not cut or splice the trailer wiring into the vehicle wiring harness.

All electrical connections to the vehicle are complete, but you must connect the wiring harness to the trailer connector. See the following illustrations.

NOTE:

• Before starting the engine, disconnect the trailer wiring connector from the vehicle. Before launching a boat (or any other device connected to the vehicle electrical system) into the water.
• Be sure to reconnect after removing from the water.
