4-Pin Trailer Connector Wiring - 1G DSM - August 29, 2016 04:46 pm UTC
So, I've had a hitch installed for a while now but have only used it for a bike rack hence never needing to install trailer wiring.
This coming weekend I'm hoping to pull a small utility trailer (trailer + contents maybe 500lbs max, if that) with my Laser and was wondering where the best place to hook up the wiring would be and which wires to tap into.
The car is a '92 Laser RS Turbo FWD 5-Speed (1Gb).
Does the harness for the tail/brake lights wrap around from L-R or R-L, or does it come to the back separately from both sides? I'd prefer to run the 4 wires all to one side if I can intercept both sides wiring on one side of the car but will split it if necessary. Also, I took a look and noticed there are 4 wires going into each of the taillight connectors - which of those do what? I don't have my manuals with me at the moment so I can't look at the schematics.
I need the following signals:
- Ground (this is easy)
- Left Brake/Turn
- Right Brake/Turn
- Headlight/Taillight On
