Trailer Wiring Harness Installation - 1998 GMC Jimmy
We are going to go ahead and install part number 18002. Which is the Draw Tight 4 pole flat onto this 1998 GMC Jimmy. Right now we are underneath the vehicle. We have already put the hitch on here. As far as the wiring goes about 90 percent of the Chevy Blazers and GMC Jimmys have the tow package on them. It is that bundle of wires that attached to the backside of the bumper with zip tie. Those are all the wires we are going to need to attach the 4 pole too. So what we are going to do is go ahead and clip the zip tie here. Then release these wires and as you can see they give you a substantial amount of lead. Again the 4 pole flat connector we will be using is made by Draw Tight and is part number 18002.

- If you take a look at the photo I edited for you, you can see how to wire the 7-way connector on the vehicle. Make sure to wire by function, not wire color.

The 37185 adapter is included in the kit, and would plug directly into your existing 4-way, leaving 3 remaining wires to be attached. The

- CURT Trailer Hitch Recommendation for a 1997 GMC Jimmy
- I would recommend you get a CURT Trailer Hitch # C13020. This hitch is a custom install hitch designed specifically to work on your 1997 GMC Jimmy. I attached installation instructions for this product for you to check out also.

- Is Right Hand Version of Submersible Trailer Tail Light ST57RB Available
- We do offer the right hand version of the # ST57RB light. Part # ST56RS would feature the same functions as the left tail light, but does not include a license plate illuminator.
I would recommend using some electrical tape, like part # BT66, and some dielectric grease, part # 11755, to make the installation as clean and secure as possible.

- Diagnosing and Repairing Ground Problem on Trailer Being Towed by 1998 GMC Jimmy
- You are correct, this is a ground problem. Starting with your Jimmy, make sure that the white lead on 4-flat trailer connector you installed is grounded to clean metal on the chassis. If the mounting point has any corrosion, it will prevent a good connection. The same holds true for the ground wire coming off of the trailer connector on the trailer. The white wire coming from the trailer connector needs to be securely grounded to clean metal on the trailer frame. One other place to check is the
