Trailer Wiring Harness for a 2017 Chrysler Pacifica LX

Question

Question:

2017 pacifica LX What do I need for a wiring harness? I only need a basic flat 4-wire. In the past Ive just tapped into existing wiring by tail lights and screwed the ground wire to the body sheet metal somewhere. What do you recommend? I have the baseline LX, so I dont think that I have special LED tail lights that I need to consider. Thanks for your help.

We have just what you need to add a 4-Way trailer connector to your 2017 Chrysler Pacifica LX. You can use wiring harness # 118723. I have included a link to a video showing an example installation for you.

More and more vehicles can be fitted with a T-connector style harness like this which takes the guesswork out of hardwiring in a harness though there are still numerous vehicles that require a hardwire type of installation. But that is not required for your Pacifica so installation is much easier.
