The option UY7 trailer harness is for heavy-duty towing applications. A 30-amp fused battery teed wire and auxiliary circuit routes from the
cowl-mounted junction block, along the body side rail, to the rear bumper crossmember. The harness for the brake/parking lamps is spliced from the rear
lamp harness. The harness is at the rear bumper crossmember. A plastic strap binds the harness. Tape wrapped around the harness prevents short circuits.
The 8 wires have the following functions:
-
