Heavy-DutyTrailer Wiring Harness
Package

For vehicles equipped with heavy duty trailering, the
harness is connected to a bracket on the hitch platform.
The seven-wire harness contains the following trailer
circuits:

.

Yellow: Left Stop/Turn Signal

.

Dark Green: Right Stop/Turn Signal

.

Brown: Taillamps

.

White: Ground

.

Light Green: Back-up Lamps

.

Red: Battery Feed*

.

Dark Blue: Trailer Brake*

*The fuses for these two circuits are installed in the
underhood electrical center, but the wires are not
connected. They should be connected by your dealer/
retailer or a qualified service center. The fuse and wire
for the ITBC is factory installed and connected if the
vehicle is equipped with an ITBC. The fuse for the
battery feed is not required if the vehicle has an
auxiliary battery. If the vehicle does not have an
auxiliary battery, have your dealer/retailer or authorized
service center install the required fuse.

If charging a remote (non-vehicle) battery, press the
Tow/Haul mode button, if equipped, located at the end
of the shift lever. This will boost the vehicle system
voltage and properly charge the battery. If the trailer
is too light for Tow/Haul mode, or the vehicle is not
equipped with Tow/Haul, turn on the headlamps as a
second way to boost the vehicle system and charge the
battery.

Camper/Fifth-Wheel Trailer Wiring Package

The seven-wire camper harness is located under the
front edge of the pickup box on the drivers side of the
vehicle, attached to the frame bracket. A connector
must be added to the wiring harness which connects to
the camper.
