Trailer Wiring Harness Installation - 2000 Buick Century - Video
Today on this 2000 Buick Century we are going to install part number 18252. To wire the vehicle up we are going to have to get to the back of the tail lights and the wire harness is ran up behind here and into the tail light. We are going to have to go to both sides of the vehicle and right now we are looking at the driver side. What we are going to do is take off the fasteners that hold this cover in place so you can get back to the wires. You can see the wires that go in the tail lights will be pretty easy. We will peel back the electric tape so we can get access to the wires. We have got the wires bare, now we will test which wire does what function. First we will start of with the running lights. The kit comes with a supplied light tester so that looks like the running light circuit so that is going to be brown so we will hook up our wire to the 4-pole and the running light on the 4-pole will be brown also. Slide on the scotch lock that comes with the kit and run the brown wire next to it and we will squeeze it with the pliers and we are good to go. 01:04 more

Trailer Wiring Harness Installation - 2009 Buick Enclave - Video
Today on this 2009 Buick Enclave we will be installing wiring harness part number 118450. The connection points for our wiring harness are located directly behind the tail light assemblies on both of the drivers and passengers sides. So the first thing we need to do is go ahead and remove both of those. And that will expose the two screws that are holding the tail light onto the vehicle. We will go ahead and remove those. We will just gently pull away the tail light connector that we are going to be connecting our harness into located right here. We want to go ahead and press the tab here at the top of the connector. And that will allow us to pull the two pieces apart. I am going to set the tail light aside for the time being. We will take the harness here and we will start with the connectors that have the yellow and brown wires on it. more

Trailer Wiring Harness Installation - 2003 Buick Park Avenue - Video
Today on this 2003 Buick Park Avenue we are going to install part number 119176KIT from Tow Ready. The first step is to go ahead and open up the trunk and get access to our wiring. We are going to have to remove the threshold and then we are going to have to remove the carpeting in both corners behind the taillights. Ok, here is our wire harness that we need access to right here. Now we can go ahead and test our wires. And to do that, instead of piercing the wires, we can actually test on the inside of this connector right here. So you push down this tab right here on top and it comes apart. Ok, we will go test our pins. Before we do any testing, let us go ahead and install our ground. We use the sheet metal right here. And it is double layered. You can tell by the weld marks here. We will leave that ground in for now. And we will attach our ground lead from our tester and we will probe our wires. 0:52 more
