Trailer Wiring Install on a 1998 Chevy Tracker that the Jack is Stored Under Passenger Seat

Question:

It does not have a jack storage compartment. The jack is under the passenger seat! Where can I plug this harness into? Thanks

I spoke with a customer who has performed this installation and had to remove a panel forward of the jack compartment you mentioned. He stated that prior to removing the back drivers side jack compartment panel for access to the trailer wiring plug, he had to first remove the panel in front of it, by removing a few screws.

The back side panel then is very carefully pulled out a bit at a time, to separate the panel from the side. Most of the inside panels are attached by inner snaps. For removal, they have to be carefully pulled outward until the panels are fully unsnapped from the inner body sidewalls.

The reassembly process is just the opposite of the dis-assembly. The trailer light harness and plug you can then see taped to the inside of the side body opening.
