Wiring Trailer Lights??

[Marauderjack]

Any of you "Electrical Guys" have the wire color codes for the tail lights and brake/turn signals or do I have to play with pins and a volt meter?? :) All of my CV's had separate turn signals and required an adapter.....The MM's use the whole tail light for turn signals......Like in the "Good Ole Days"!!! ;)

Thanks,

Same hitch as CV and GM....I got the 1.25" receiver that you hardly notice!! :)

Periodically I need to pull a boat and will haul my Cobra in the event of a "Hurricane Evacuation"!!! ;) My 2000 CV pulled the Cobra trailer well and with more torque and HP the MM shouldn't have any trouble in an emergency?? :rolleyes:

BTW.....I can remove and re-install the hitch in about 10 minutes!!

Get in touch with MikeE, he is a member here and routinely uses a trailer to tow his antique Ford. There are pictures floating around on the site somewhere.

hmmm,.. could ya post a few pics? Now I'm curious.

I didn't know that you could tow with a CV or GM.

as far as your electrical problem, I wish I could help. I'm a wrench turner, not a spark chaser. :)

Try the different trailer light harness companies like Valley hitches. I will bet that someone has a plug in adapter. I had one on my 97 CV. Cost 10-15 dollars not worth splicing and all that. Also the hitch tucks up underneath real nich and its a receiver hitch so you can remove it when your not towing.

I have a trailer hitch on my '99 GM--it was originally on my '02 GM.It was installed by U-Haul who still sells a hitch for the GM. They had all the adaptors and wiring --a real neat install. Has removable hitch . Towed a lot of things with my GMs--the only reason they derated the towing capacity was to force us to buy a SUV IMHO. Hope you have good luck finding what you need.

Me too. The TM.. I mean owners manual seems to suggest that we can't tow anything bigger than a jet ski. I have to go to a conference in warm spring OR in June, and would love to take my 19' jet boat on the Billy Chinook reservoir. :confused:

I had my hitch & wiring done at U-Haul. Quick,easy and reasonable. They don't list a class lll hitch for the MM. All the hitches are the same from 92 to present, so just get the part number from an older model. The Marauder is a great towing car.

They not only sell everything for towing but usually
know the latest wiring stuff. As far as the color codes,
anyone with the shop manual from Helm should have that.
