J A Blazer Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 Hi; I just installed a trailer hitch on my 2000 OBW. I have found the wiring pig-tail behind the right side tail light assembly, and will be getting the model 18370 trailer wiring converter. However, where do I route the wires from the inside to the outside? TIA; pictures will help immeasurably. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbhrps Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 On my 02 OBW I ran the wiring under the rear floorboards to the centre styrofoam parcel tray. I open the rear floor latch, reach in and unravel the excess wire, place it to one side of the tailgate latch, shut the tailgate, and plug it into the trailer connector, leaving enough to ensure that cornering will not allow it to pull out of the trailer connector or drag on the ground. That way I never have the connector out in the weather, except when its being used, and I never had to drill a hole in the rear of the car to get the wiring through the body. Then again, I use my trailer very infrequently. I've used this setup on my 97 OBW as well, and it works like a charm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
