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.
I have the exact same question/problem and can find no resources. A professional hitch company said they don't actually know until they tear into it. Try this site: http://www.etrailer.com/tv-wiring_install_1998_toyota_sienna.aspx
It is my understanding that an adapter must be installed under the back of the truck in line with the wiring. This allows a common four wire trailer plug to work properly. Just about any local auto parts store will have the right adapter for your vehicle.
I imagine a 2002 would have similar wiring to a 2000 Explorer which I've just discovered myself has 2 fuses dedicated to the factory installed trailer wiring. Fuse #3 is for the left trailer signals and fuse #7 is for the right. Hope this helps someone to avoid all the hassle I went through to figure this out.
Fuses are designed and intended to protect the wiring from SHORT CIRCUITS and OVERLOADING. When a fuse "blows" instantly upon connecting the trailer wiring to the vehicle wiring connector,suggests a short in the trailer wiring, or one of the light sockets/fixtures. If the fuse did not blow instantly, but over a period of minutes, would be suggestive ofan overload condition. Sinceit blows the tail light fuse, logic suggests the short should be found in the tail light wires or bulb sockets on the trailer. Another possibility, but very remote, is a defect in one or both of the connector plugs. Look for an area ofcut or chaffed insulation onthe trailer tail light wires, where the wire may be "pinched" in a crevicebetween twometal members of the trailer frame, OR where the wire makes a very sharp turn around a metal edge.j3h. you have a short in the tail light wiring of the trailer

Do yourself a favor. If you are planning to install an aftermarket radio, buy yourself a radio wiring hardness that will fit into the factory wiring hardness. It will cost under $20.00. And it will save you lost of headaches in the future. No short, or problems... All the wiring colors will match factory wiring.
