Go to an auto parts store and purchase a pre-wired dedicated harness for your vehicle. It will have clear instructions and will basically be a unplug and plug type setup. No cutting or soldering necessary. They cost a little more but are worth the extra cost due to the ease of installation.
Subarus all have a connector for a trailer wiring harness built in. There is a supplemental trailer harness that you purchase from your hitch supplier and it just plugs right in. Instructions are available on-line. This one is for a 2001, but they have been the same for a number of years.
There are about 5 fuses for the trailer harness, Trailer Back up,Trailer left turn, Trailer right turn, Trailer Brake, and Trailer hazards. They are located in the underhood fuse box on the Drivers side of your motor. On my 2003 Silverado, the Trailer left/stop and Trailer right/stop fuses are located in the fuse panel just inside the driver's side door. (Not sure about the trailer brake or hazard fuses.....I wasn't having problems with those :). There is one additional fuse for the trailer harness. The 15A fuse for the trailer running lights is located in the fuse panel under the hood, next to the battery. The fuse is labeled "Trailer Park".
If both your left and right trailer signals blink at the same time there is something wrong with your wiring harness.
very easy .I bought my wires on eBay ,,,the trailer harness plugs right into your lights no cutting at all
To wire a trailer for a 1979 Dodge B200 van, you'll typically need to connect the trailer's wiring harness to the van's tail light wiring. The basic color codes are: brown for tail lights, yellow for left turn signals, green for right turn signals, and white for ground. It's important to ensure that the connections are secure and insulated to prevent short circuits. Additionally, using a trailer wiring harness adapter can simplify the installation and ensure compatibility with your van's electrical system.
POSSIBLY A BADGROUND
Check with the dealer/auto parts supplier. Some vehicles have premade trailer connectors that will plug into the existing harness with no cutting or modifications needed. If not then you can buy the trailer harness kit and the wiring diagram usually in the package. With the help of a test light you can figure it out. Make sure you seal the connections properly as they will lead to electrical problems down the road if done poorly. Buy a length of heat shrink tube and proper connectors and do it right to save yourself some grief.
find wiring harness in the back of the vehicle the same one that goes to the tail lights wire it through that wiring harness use test light to make sure you arein the right wiring harness
To wire a 1991 Toyota Previa for towing, start by locating the vehicle's wiring harness, which is typically found near the rear taillights. Connect a trailer wiring harness adapter to the vehicle's harness, ensuring you match the correct wire colors (usually, brown for tail lights, yellow for left turn signals, and green for right turn signals). Secure all connections using heat-shrink tubing or electrical tape to protect against moisture. Finally, test the connections with a trailer to ensure all lights function correctly before towing.
The condition you describe suggests that the wiring to or on the trailer was not done correctly. In the towing vehicle there are two separate conductors [wires], left and right, going from the turn signal control switch, one to each of the vehicle's rear turn signal bulbs. When a vehicle is "wired" for trailer lighting, a connector plug pigtail is tapped into the vehicle's tail light, brake light, and turn signal electrical wires. The pigtailed connector plug kit usually contains a color coded schematic diagram indicating which wires on the plug pigtail are to be connected to the vehicle's lighting system, and for the trailer harness. From the connector plug at the front of the trailer tongue, there are separate wires going to the left and to the right turn signal lamps or filaments. There is one of two circumstances causing the error responsible for both turn signal bulbs on the trailer to flash at the same time: 1. The wires in the vehicle pigtail are both connected to the same turn signal wire at the rear of the towing vehicle, or 2. The two separate wires in the trailer wiring harness, or pigtail, are somehow interconnected. The correction for this is to have someone, who knows what he/she is doing, to troubleshoot the connections at the rear of the towing vehicle and in the trailer wiring harness, locate the cause of the interconnect, and properly remove the fault.
You have to buy one-it will come with instructions to help you install it. The simplest way is to buy one from a gm dealer and it should plug right in.
Well, if wired trailer lights means:you wired a trailer/tow harness into your factory harness. There is only 2 answers that come to mind. 1. You've blown a fuse. 2. You wired your trailer/tow harness in wrong. So... If you possibly wired it in wrong, you'll need to start over again. The best place to start is to pull out the trailer/tow harness & put the Escape's harness back together like it was before you started. Then check all lights & fuse's. If all's well, this is the color code you'll need to use to hook-up your basic 4-wire trailer/tow harness. Key Code: The left side of the code is your trailer/tow harness. & the right side of the code is your escape's harness. YELLOW-to-YELLOW (pass. sd. stop-turn light) GREEN-to-GREEN (driver sd. stop-turn light) BROWN-to-BROWN (park/running lights) WHITE-to-WHITE/w-Black stripe (ground). This should git you happly towing in no time. (P.S. there should be a tow wire kit avalible for your escape. Call your ford dealer for the part no#. With the part no# you can git more cheaply elsewhere.)
