Trailer Wiring Harness - Saab 9-7x Owner's Manual

Trailer Wiring Harness

Your vehicle is equipped with a seven-wire trailer
towing harness. This harness has a seven-pin universal
heavy-duty trailer connector (if equipped with the
trailering package) that is attached to a bracket on
the hitch platform. If your vehicle is not equipped with
the heavy-duty trailer connector, you can purchase
one from your Saab dealer.
The seven-wire harness contains the following
trailer circuits:
•
Yellow: Left Stop/Turn Signal
•
Dark Green: Right Stop/Turn Signal
•
Brown: Running Lamps
•
White: Ground
•
Light Green: Back-up Lamps
4-40
•
Dark Blue: Electric Brakes
•
Red: Battery Feed (The chassis wiring ring terminal
must be fastened to a stud on the underhood
electrical center before the trailer feed will
become active.)
If you need to tow a light-duty trailer with a standard
four-way round pin connector, an adapter connector
is available from your dealer.
If you are charging a remote (non-vehicle) battery,
turn on the headlamps to boost the vehicle system
voltage and properly charge the battery.
Your vehicle is also equipped with wiring for an
electric trailer brake controller. These wires are
located inside the vehicle on the driver's side under
the instrument panel. These wires should be connected
to an electric trailer brake controller by your dealer or
a qualified service center.
