Gmc wants dealers to hook up wire- factory does not do this.
1 Make sure you read the manual for fuse number and location 40amp, and that the fuse is installed (It should be).
2 A stud for the power wire is located directly in front of the fuse box under the hood in line with the fuse for the trailer power. (If you pull the fuse you will see the tab move when you touch the connector on the stud.)
3 under the master cylinder or in that area you should see a Red wire wrapped and taped to part of another wire harness. Pull off tape and extend the wire and connect to the stud. (Nut not supplied - Fine thread)
4 Power to trailer should be good to go.
There are no extra fuses for your trailer lights. If you have the towing package (and you do) the trailer lights run through your regular fuses (tail, brake, turn).
Plug in the trailer harness into the 7 pin hookup next to the receive hitch if you have a stock towing package.
That would be a part of the tow package. If it has the tow package the trailer plug would be near the hitch and quite visible.
Many vehicle manufactures fuse the trailer connection separately from the vehicle's systems. This is to prevent the vehicle from losing it's lights due to a problem with the trailer's lighting. Look in the owner's manual or look online for a fuse placement diagram. The fuse may be marked "trailer."
Trailer lights are sold at many stores nationwide. You can find trailer lights at home improvement stores. You can also find trailer lights at automobile repair stores.
Sure. You will need a hitch installed on your Outback and a wiring harness installed to power the brake and running lights on the camper. Take a look in your owner's manual for the maximum trailer and tongue weight. --Ken
I have the same problem with my 06 Liberty. I think it has something to do with the trailer towing package as the problem did not occur until I noticed the lights stop working completely on my trailer.
If the Avalanche came with the factory trailering package, the trailer lights are separately fused from the other truck lights. Check your fuse panel layout for a 10-amp fuse for left side and a separate fuse for right side turn signal/brake light on the trailer.
Camper lights can come in a wide range of costs. The prices range from ´£20 to ´£150. The best places to find a camper light would be at Amazon and at eBay.
Lights are always required to be installed on a boat trailer. This is so no one runs into the back of the trailer, especially at night.
If the blinkers work then your taillight wiring is bad.
Are you getting power to sockets? Make sure you have a good ground circuit
