Best 2012 Chevrolet Equinox Trailer Wiring Options- Video

Today on our 2012 Chevrolet Equinox we're going to be taking a look at the best wiring options available. The two wiring options we're going to be taking a look at are the CURT T-Connedctor, and that's part number 56094. The second one is going to be the Tekonsha T-One Connector. That's part number 118494. Both are going to provide you with a four-pole flat connector for your trailer wiring at the rear of the vehicle. The main differences between the wiring harnesses are the Tekonsha here uses a power module. What this does is it connects directly to your battery, copies the signal to your trailer wiring, and prevents overloading your car's electrical system. more

Trailer Wiring Harness Installation - 2012 Chevrolet Equinox- Video

Today in our 2012 Chevrolet Equinox we'll be installing the CURT T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness for factory tow package, part number C56210. Now when we want to hook up to our trailer, all we have to do is lift up on our spare tire cover here, grab our wiring, set it down to the side of our trunk latch here, close our trunk on up. Now we have an easily accessible wiring harness that is stored out of the elements so we can hook it to our trailer. Take our dust cap off, hook our trailer up, plug our wiring in, we're ready to hit the road. Now when we've arrived at our destination and we unhook from our trailer, all we have to do is store the dust cap back over the plug, open our hatch back up, raise our spare tire cover, lay the wiring down inside, and it's stored up and out of the way and we don't have to worry about it getting snagged in any of our cargo when we're loading our hatch on up. It won't cause any damage to the wiring that way either and it's stored up out of the elements. Here's what our wiring kit comes with. We have our wiring harness. It'll plug into the factory tow package wiring right here and then give us a 4-pole flat to hook up to our trailer so we have all the DOT required lighting signals on our trailer, such as turn signals, brakes, and tail lights. more
