Hitch installation w/electrical wiring for brake

Does your trailer have a braked trailer hitch?see http://www.angleseymarinesupplies.com/resources/2000KG%20BRAKED%20TOWING%20HITCH%20KNOTT%20AVONRIDE.jpg.opt372x176o0,0s372x176.jpg The wire runs from the hitch to the rear wheels of the trailer and is activated by a spring in the hitch which gets compressed when the vehicle brakes.

Yes, this is actually a quite simple installation. There are two different versions of this vehicle. With and without stow and go. They both require different hitches and mounting schemes. Both vehicles will have the same wiring however. Part number 55537 will give you the correct wiring. If your vehicle has stow n' go you will need hitch number 13389 and if it does not you will need 13362. I hope this helps!

Hi, you have a cut or damaged wire between the left tail light and the license plate. This could have been caused by the hitch installation. The hitch is using the same fuse.

Check to see if you have a local uhaul store. They usually have a hitch for any kind off car. If not , check Google for locating a hitch for your make and model.

No it's doesn't come with a hitch. To put one on you'll need to know what capacity hitch you need, towing weight of what is to be towed. A wiring harness to connect to the vehicle's brake lights, taillights and turn signals. U-Haul sells and installs hitches.

Sometime around 2000, GM started putting trailering pre-wire harnesses in the vehicle. Your truck may have this harness built in and would greatly simplify brake controller installation. Look under the glovebox and see if there is a wire harness tied off. There will be four wires in this harness, which should be run over to the steering column to use it. Most trailer brake controllers are compatible with this harness.
The four wires in the harness are: Red, 12vdc; black, ground; blue or purple, brake pedal; and brown or white, trailer brake wire to seven pin, four pin, or five pin connector at trailer hitch, if your truck came from the factory with a trailer hitch.
If you are adding the hitch and do not have the four wire harness, the under hood wires from your brake controller are Red, connect to one of the studs under the distribution box cover (the distribution box is on the driver's side against the firewall. Underneath the cover are two large threaded studs which are hot from the battery all the time); and the other wire from your brake controller would have to be run the length of the truck along the frame, tied off in several places, to the trailer hitch connector on the bumper. Follow the directions that came with trailer hitch wiring connector to connect this wire to the proper pin in the connector.
If this has helped you, great, and please remember to vote/comment.
Good luck!

tail lights and brake lights, if u had factory wiring then it will be marked trailer tow fuse.

Disconnect all the hitch wiring and test for ability to crank. Someone did the hitch hookup incorrectly, or damaged other wiring hooking it up.
