Re: Equipping a Cadillac SRX for towing
Thanks for the thoughts, folks. I already have a brake buddy so that decision is made. I have consulted the manual about towing. Right now the only possibility I can think of is the out the hood into the door thing, but I'd very much like to keep it inside. I have checked online for help, and in fact found some good videos to show the installation of the baseplate, but nothing about running a few wires. I have viewed a few posts on the Caddy forum that scream out "don't tow it", but if GM says it's OK I must assume that it is, within their prescribed limits. Many others are towing the SRX (mine is a 2012) and have no issues whatsoever. I have the metal auxiliary outlet supplied by Brake Buddy, and I hope to run those two wires along with the breakaway wires. I just have to figure out where. This shouldn't pose this much of a challenge. I just know that if I randomly drill a hole in the firewall I'll perforate something that I shouldn't. That's what usually happens.359Views0likes0CommentsEquipping a Cadillac SRX for towing
I am prepping our 2012 SRX for towing behind a new Tiffin which we are picking up this week. I have installed a baseplate and diode system for the SRX taillights and will be installing wiring for a Brake Buddy. I could use some advice from anyone who has figured out where to penetrate the firewall on the SRX to run the breakaway wires from the cabin to the breakaway switch on the front of the SRX. If you have such a setup, or have done this type of install, please let me know where your wires travel from the interior to the front facia area. Thanks much.1.4KViews0likes4Comments
