- The Uplander uses a unique wiring set-up, in that the brake stoplight switch circuit is accessed differently than is typically done. Under the dash, to the left of the steering column, is the BCM or body control module. There is a very large 52-pin connector that plugs into the BCM. In the center of the connector, a white wire can be found that can be used to obtain a good brake signal.

- According to the online owner's manual of your 2008 Chevy Uplander it looks like you can't flat tow your vehicle, but you can tow it behind your motorhome using a tow dolly. I'm not sure about the lube pump situation so I recommend going with the tow dolly.
The Demco Kar Kaddy SS Tow Dolly with Disc Brakes # DM9713045 is what I recommend using to transport your vehicle. This comes with everything you need to tow your Uplander, it has a galvanized finish that helps it resist the elements,...

- The trailer wiring connectors on the 2005 Chevrolet Uplander should be located behind the driver's-side rear trim panel as noted in the written instructions and the linked video showing a 2006 Uplander. Some Uplander models will have a single connector and other models will have a connector already mated with another. In other words, there may not be an open connector on some vehicles and you may have to separate them to create the connection point.
If already mated to another connector,...

- The blue wires for the Atwood Air Command Rooftop RV Air Conditioner w/ Heat Pump # AT15028-22 actually connect to the thermostat as you can see from the attached picture.

1). With your current setup, you will not need any diodes. The intended purpose of the diodes when used in conjunction with the taillight converter # 118158 is for a flat towing...

- The Brophy D-Ring Tie Down Anchor - Bolt-On - 3-1/2" Wide - Surface Mount - 1,600 lbs # SR15-C are steel anchors with a zinc finish. Although the zinc finish will help avoid galvanic corrosion from dissimilar metals, the connection by drilling into the aluminum frame is not the best option.
It is true the frame will typically be a stronger connection point than the wood deck, but in this case the wood is a better option when secured close to the frame yet not touching it. A good option...
view full answer... - Connection Point for Curt Trailer Wiring Harness 56077 on a 2007 Chevy Uplander
- I am sure you are looking in the right place but there are two possible options for what you might see. If a loose connector is not behind the driver side trim panel in the cargo area of your 2007 Chevy Uplander then it may already be connected to the tail light wiring. You would have to unplug that connection and insert the Curt wiring harness connectors in between that factory connection so the 4-Way end branches off of it.
If that also is not present then you may need to pull up additional...
