Fifth Wheel Wiring Harness Installation - 2010 Chevrolet Silverado- Video
Today in this 2010 Chevrolet Silverado Extended Cab 2500 HD, we're going to install part number 54701-003. This is a 5th Wheel and Gooseneck 90 degree wiring harness with 7-pole plug connector. This our 7-pole connector, and this is the part that's going to get installed above truck. Now typical 5th Wheel application will be mounted towards the back via a sliding camper, chances are this may be installed forward of the truck. For this case, we're going to install our about this location right here. Once we have our location determined, we'll go ahead and drill a quarter inch hole. We'll follow that up with a 2-inch hole saw. We'll go ahead and clamp the mess we have right now and we'll also touch up the inside edge with something to protect the metal. Now we'll go ahead and take the end of our wire harness and I'll plug into a 7-pole connector in the bumper, let's go ahead and push it through and down. Make sure it's sitting the way you want it. We'll go ahead and use the included fasteners and attach it to the bed. We'll go ahead and take the self-tapping hardware and with a 5/16 nut driver, we'll go ahead and run it into the sheet metal of the bed. We're already done inside the bed, let's go underneath the truck and make our connection down there. All right to make things easier, we got our spare tire out of the way. Here's our 7-pole connector that goes into the bumper. There's a lock on this side here that will push down the tab and pulled apart. Sometimes there's a a little gray connector that fits inside here. This truck didn't have it, but if it did, you take a small screwdriver and you just back it out, out of the way, and it'd be just fine. OK. Let's leave that alone from now. more
