When Using a 5-Way for Tow Bar Wiring Which Pin for a Charge Line Kit
Question:
One of your experts Jamison C period period recommended a setup for me to use on my 2013 3.5L AWD Edge along with a Demco stay and play duo with the wireless coach link monitor. Hr recommended the following: HM56001 wiring kit, HM47075 umbilical, RM156-25 Charge line kit, and part 2oo15 changes 4way to 5way plug. The follow-up questions are which wire on the RM20017 would I use for the charge line and how do I splice the 20017 kit into the HM56001 kit?

Expert Reply:
The # 20017 has a blue wire on it that wouldn't be used by the charge kit. Normally with 5 ways the fifth pin is for a reverse lockout but in your application it would be best to use it for charge line but due to it's smaller gauge it wouldn't be able to carry a significant charge.
