2004 Silverado Camper Shell Wiring Recommendation
Updated 09/08/2024 | Published 09/24/2015
Question:
I bought a used ARE camper shell for my 2004 Silverado and Id like to wire in the lights. The previous owner gave me the plug he had wired in and it has a black and a white wire. Any ideas where to start getting this hooked up?

Expert Reply:
To wire up the third brake light of your ARE camper shell will require you to find the third brake light circuit of your truck.
The main trailer wiring harness is located under the truck bed, usually above the spare tire. There is usually a socket for your trailer connector to plug into, but if you peel back the wire loom you will find a light blue wire further up in the wiring harness that is intended for use for a third brake lamp on a camper shell.
