The RoadMaster Tail Light Wiring Kit with Bulbs, part # RM-155, will not work on a 2001 Chevrolet Tracker. There will not be enough room in the taillight housing to fit the extra bulb.

The tow bar wiring harness you will need for your 2001 Chevrolet Tracker is the RoadMaster Universal Hy-Power Diode Wiring Kit, part # RM-154. On your 2001 Chevrolet Tracker with the 3-wire system (separate brake and turn signals) this wiring kit will use the vehicles brake lights to function as both brake and turn signals.

If you want to maintain separate brake and turn signals on your vehicle you will also need to add the Tow Ready Vehicle to Vehicle Taillight Converter, part # 118158, and 2 additional RoadMaster Hy-Power Diodes, part # RM-792.

I am including a video link to the RoadMaster wiring kit # RM-154 being installed on a 2006 Jeep Liberty. The vehicle is different but the wiring principle is the same. Also, I am including links to FAQ pages that will describe how to wire your towed vehicle for combined or separate taillight wiring.

You will also need to check with the manufacturer for instructions on the proper procedure for towing your 2001 Chevrolet Tracker 4wd, because some vehicles must be equipped with a transmission lube pump, an axle disconnect, drive line disconnect, or free-wheeling hubs before they can be towed.
