harness has provisions to connect a
trailer harness and a seven-pin trailer
connector which is available through
your dealer.

connector with flat blade terminals
meeting SAE J2863 specifications for
proper electrical connectivity.

Refer to the aftermarket electric trailer

working at the beginning of each trip,
and periodically on longer trips.
