Now having a 7-way on the back of your Acadia is going to be really nice, because not only is it going to give us our light functions that we need to get down the road with our trailer, like our brake lights, tail lights, and turn signals, but it's also going to give us our backup lights, have a 12-volt power source back here, and if we have a brake controller, we're going to be able to control the brakes on our trailer as well.Now, like all 7-ways, this is going to stay on the outside of the car at all times, so you will need to pick up a bracket here. Now we recommend the Pollak bracket, because it's universal design and it makes it a lot easier to Mount up your 7-way. But our 7-way is going to have a spring loaded door, that we can keep all the dirt, debris, and any kind of moisture from inside the connector, hopefully preventing any kind of corrosion. You'll see it's going to have a nice little weather stripping on there to really help out with that, and a little notch here is going to make sure that when we plug it in, our core is not going to get ripped out.Now, your 7-way connector is going to be one of the most common connectors on trailers, and typically it is going to be for a little bit larger trailers that have brakes on them. more

It's gonna include a spring loaded dust cover with a nice weather seal around the edge on the inside to keep all the moisture and debris from getting into our connector. In order for us to get our wiring in place, we are gonna have to have the factory tow package on our vehicle, which we're gonna be using some factory connections points. Now that we've seen what it looks like, let's go ahead and show you how to get it installed.To begin our installation, we're gonna need to find the factory tow package wiring, which if we come to the driver's side and we just look directly up, right behind our bumper, we're gonna have two connectors that we're gonna find. Both of these are the connectors we're gonna need to use, so I'm gonna go ahead and start pulling the wires off of the tabs holding them in place, that way I can bring them down and make them a little bit easier to work with. more
