Easier Way to Wire Vehicle that is Being Flat Towed that has Separate Turn Signals from Stoplights
Question:
Looking at the fuse box and wiring diagram it shows the Enclave has the same wire for turn and brake lights. The car we are towing behind the Enclave has European light setup where the signals and brakes are on different wires. How can we set this up so it works with correct signals and brakes on our tow vehicle?

When flat towing a vehicle with separate turn signals from brake lights the easiest solution is to wire the towed vehicle like a combined circuit vehicle. For that we have the tow bar lighting kit part # RM-15267 which wires to the towed vehicle and basically operates the brake lights of the towed vehicle like both the blinkers and brake lights. I attached a diagram that shows how all of the connections get made.
