Best 2008 GMC Acadia Trailer Wiring Options- Video
Today we're going to look at best wiring options available for your 2008 GMC Acadia. First off we're going to have two different styles. We're going to have two from Tekonsha, and two from Curt. One style is going to be for vehicles that do not have an OEM wiring tow package on them, and the other set is going to be ones for vehicles that do have that OEM tow package. Let's go ahead and look at these two guys first. This is probably the most common out there. First off our Tekonsha. more

Trailer Wiring Harness Installation - 2008 GMC Acadia- Video
Today we are working on a 2008 GMC Acadia. We will be installing Tow Ready T-one connector part number 118451. Our first step will be to access the rear cargo area of the vehicle. We are going to remove these two tabs and the bolts underneath them so that we can remove the taillight lens. We will repeat this process on both sides. OK, you can see we have uncovered the two hold down bolts. We are going to go ahead and remove them now. OK, now that we have our hold downs removed, I am going to go ahead and pop the lens assembly off of the vehicle. You can see here is our taillight wiring. We are going to go ahead and disconnect it from the lens now also. It may be necessary to take a small screw driver just to help pull the locking tab back while you disconnect it. Be very gentile as to not break the locking tab. We will go ahead and set out lens assembly aside for now and we will repeat the same process on the passenger side. 0:59 more

Trailer Wiring Harness Installation - 2008 GMC Acadia 118451- Video
Today we are going to be installing wiring harness part number 118451 on a 2008 GMC Acadia. OK, we are here at the back side of the vehicle and the attaching points for our wiring harness are actually located directly behind the tail light assemblies themselves on both sides of the vehicle. So the first thing we want to do is to go ahead and remove them. There are two black caps on each one of the assemblies. You need to pop those back, and that will give us access to the fasteners that are holding the tail light assembly on. We are going to remove those fasteners and pull the tail light assembly off to gain access to the connectors themselves. We just take a little flatheaded screwdriver and pop that right back. And as you can see, there is a regular hex head screw in there. And you want to be careful when you are doing that to make sure you do not break the locking tabs. And we are just going to take a little 7-millimeter socket here and remove the bolts. With both screws removed, we want to go ahead and gently pry away the tail light assembly. There are two aligning tabs here on the back side. You want to make sure that those do not break. You just want to gently kind of wiggle it back and forth until they release. more
