Question:
Thanks for your quick response. Sorry for not explaining myself very well. The winch is installed on the boat trailer and will stay there. It’s the power source I want to change. The pickup that currently supplies the power has Two connectors...one for the trailer lights and one for the winch. I want to be able to tow the boat trailer with the trailblazer, but when I plug the winch into the connector on the trailblazer it doesn’t send power to the winch. The connector was on the trailblazer when we bought it so I don’t know if it was installed for something specific. Maybe the connector it has to be rewired?

Would you be able to send me some pictures of your setup? Typically winches like the Dutton-Lainson TW4000 StrongArm Electric Winch # DL25200 are installed on the boat trailer and they draw power from either the tow vehicle battery via the 12V Power pin on the 7-Way connector, or from a separate battery.
If you can give me some more details about how your winch is configured and what you have on your pickup and your Trailblazer I would be happy to help you get it switched over!
