Default Wiring for trailer

I need to wire in my 7 blade plug on my 2003. My problem is I can't seem to find the magic wires that will give me right and left blinkers and brakes. I can seem to only get brakes or blinkers. Am I overlooking something? I'm really getting pissed.

there is a wiring diagram for the tow system

worst case scenario just tap into the blinker lines and the brake line as they go up to the tails on either side, not 100% correct(read as not the neatest), but will work if done correctly

This is suppose to be a 5 minute plug and play job.

An OE plug at the middle of the rear bumper or behind the right tail-lamp

Look in your owners manual.

Right brake is right turn, left brake is left turn, park is tail lights, acc is accessory power (from bat), ground is ground, brake is brake controller, and reverse is for acc reverse lights.


I would upload my info for you but I can't as now I am over my limit.

You'll need an adapter to do it since the signals and brake lights are on separate circuits. Should be able to pick one up at Uhaul or most anywhere that sells hitches. Haven't ever seen one at any of the auto parts stores. It's easy to hook up. I put mine in on the driver's side. It's a little square box about 2x2", and it comes with double-sided tape on it so you can mount it behind the tail light. Took maybe 15 minutes to install it. Only place online that I could find one similar to the one I used is JC Whitney.

There should be a harness of wires up between the frame and the spare tire that is for the OEM non towing setup. Look close!
