Now, here's what our wiring looks like installed. So this wiring is designed to be stored inside the vehicle when it's not in use. That's a great feature, because it helps protect it from the elements, and potentially any dirt, debris, or corrosion which could happen inside of our socket, even though our socket is protected by this dust cover.Now, this wiring harness gives us the basic lighting functions that are required by law, in order for us to safely tow a trailer. Our white wire here is our ground, and this'll provide the ground connection that we need between our trailer and our towing vehicle, giving us a good, solid connection for all of our lights to work properly. Brown wire here is our taillight and running light circuit. more

Trailer Hitch Installation - 2008 Suzuki XL7- Video

Today on this 2008 Suzuki XL7 we are going to install part number 75529 from Draw-Tite. This will also apply to part number 87436 from Hidden Hitch. The first thing we need to do is lower the exhaust because the exhaust is kind of close to the mounting points. Those I am going to lower just to get some more working room. We will spray it down with some lubricant and then we will pry the rubber hangers off. Also what we did is put up a strap to help support the exhaust so we can lower it in a controlled manner when you take the rest of the hangers off. Now you can see the nuts that are welded inside the frame that we are going to attach the hitch to. They are kind of dirty since it has been out on the road for awhile so we are going to spray it down with some lubricant and then run the bolt inside and out to clean out the threads. If they are really dirty you will probably end up having to use a thread tap to clean out the threads. 01:08 more

Trailer Wiring Harness Installation - 2004 Suzuki XL7- Video

This T-1 connector gets mounted inside the vehicle and we have to take out the inside quarter panel. Its a pretty easy, well show you how to do it. The object is we have to get behind this panel over here, but to do that we have to take off this threshold strip because part of the panel lies underneath it. So well take off these tie downs and we should be able to take this threshold off. To get this off theres clips underneath here, you can use a wide screwdriver or gasket scraper. The wider the better to better distribute the force while prying it up. Once you get that off we can start working on this panel here. Now that we have the threshold off we can loosen this panel. We take out these two screws and the rest of the panel kind of pops off. Try to take out as little as possible so you can reach in and get to the connector. more
