Trailer Hitch Wiring Conversion for 2001 G Help requested

[JumpJ]

Me Again - I am sure someone here has had this issue. My mech can find the trailer plug for aprox $800. Seems mad to me - can anyone help me with "idiot proof" directions on the wiring into a standard tow hitch lighting so I can pull my trailer?
Cheers
Will.

Here is a video of how to wire up a 7 Pin RV plug.

I believe you have separate turn signals on the G. You would also need to install a solid state converter on the vehicle side to combine the turn and brake light signals so they will work with the standard trailer wiring.

If you have the 13pin European trailer plug, or you have that wire harness still above the tank or so,
Eurotruck Importers has a conversion kit for it. Talk to Steve 770-965-3311
