Driving and Operating

9-97

.

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 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 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

The seven-wire camper harness is

connects to the camper.

The harness contains the following
camper/trailer circuits:

.

Dark Green: Right Stop/Turn
Signal

If the vehicle is equipped with the
“Heavy-Duty Trailering” option,
please refer to “Heavy-Duty Trailer

When the camper-wiring harness
is ordered without the heavy-duty
trailering package, a seven-wire
harness with a seven-pin connector
is located at the rear of the vehicle
and is tied to the vehicle's frame.
