Expert Reply:
There are a few connections under the hood of your 2000 Chevy Tahoe that need to be made to allow the 12 volt power circuit of your 7-way to be active. It looks like you have the 40 amp fuse and ring terminal connection already made so what you'll need to do is find the blue wire under the hood that has a male connector on it and connect it to double bonded wire like # 10-2-1 (sold by foot) to the rear of your vehicle.
