Trailer Wiring Harness Installation - 2016 Chevrolet Express Van- Video
Today on our 2016 Chevrolet Express van, we're going to be taking a look at and installing the T1 vehicle wiring harness with four hold flat trailer connector. Part number 118392. This is what our wires look like when they're fully installed. They're going to stay on the inside of our van at all times until we're ready to use it, when we can lay it out and the weather stripping on the door is soft enough that it's not going to damage our wire, but then when we close the door we still have plenty of wire to hook up to our trailer, and we're ready to hit the road. Now that we've gone over some of the features, let's show you how we get it installed. To begin our installation, we're going to open up the doors to our van, and if we move to the inside, and we go right behind our tail light, we'll find our wiring right here. Now we're here on our driver's side, and we're going to look for a plug right here, right behind our tail light. We're actually going to take this orange tab here, and we're going to pull it out, so it'll unlock our socket, and then we're going to go ahead and remove the plug from the socket, and if you need to, you can take a flathead screwdriver and actually pop the socket out from the wall so you have a little bit more room to work with. Now, we can go in and push down on our tab to release our socket. Now, if we find our wiring harness, or yellow/brown end, and we're going to connect the female and the male, and connect them into each other, making sure that locks into place. more

Best 2016 Chevrolet Express Van Trailer Wiring Options- Video
Today on our 2016 Chevrolet Express we'll be looking at our best trailer wiring options. We have two wiring options here today for the Chevrolet Express Van. Now both of these options are for vehicles that don't have the factory tow package installed. Off to the right we have the CURT T-Connector, part number 55540. Over here to the left we have the Hopkins Plug-N-Tow, part number 31345. Now both of our wiring harnesses will attach in the same manner. They both will go into the factory taillight connectors in-line, no cutting, no splicing required. more

Trailer Wiring Harness Installation - 2016 Chevrolet Express Van 31345- Video
Today in our 2016 Chevrolet Express van, we'll be installing the Hopkins plug-in tow vehicle wiring harness, part number 31345. When we're ready to hook up to our trailer, we just back up to it, couple it to our hitch, undo our dust cap, plug our lighting into it, and now we're ready to go. Now here's what our wiring kit comes with. Most importantly we have the trailer wiring itself. I guess it's a four pole flat connector, so we can tow a trailer and have all the required lighting functions, as needed by law. Have a converter box here, which isolates our tow vehicle from the trailer, so if the trailer has a short, we don't have to worry about our vehicle's electrical systems being damaged. We have some terminal grease here to use on our connections inside the vehicle, and some zip ties to secure wiring up. more
