Lightning - a couple notes to help you get started...
1) Your van is pre-wired, including a 4-way light connector tucked into your rear bumper. The other 3 wires (brakes, battery charge, backup light) terminate in a dummy connector inside the left frame rail above the rear axle.
2) The trailer brake controller connector will be taped to the wire harness behind the parking brake. It's a brown or gray 6-pin rectangular connector. Tekonsha sells an adapter to plug right in.
3) Trailer battery charge circuit won't be live until you install the relay in the power distribution box under the hood.
Thank you SO MUCH!
1) I was just staring at that connector and really hoping it already had the wires I needed.
I picked up a mating connector at the junkyard today. I was hoping for a factory harness, but the only ones I found were for a standard wheelbase, not the extended wheelbase like mine.
