Electrical Connections
Regulations require all trailers to be equipped with tail
lights, brake lights, side marker lights, and turn signals.
To provide power for trailer lighting, a built-in seven-way
wiring connector (SAE J560) is attached near the tow
hitch. Most trailer wiring plugs can be attached to this
connector.

2. Low Voltage Power (Red or Black)
3. Right Turn Signal and Brake Light (Green)
4. Brake Controller Output (Blue)
5. Tail Lights and Running Lights (Brown)

NOTE: It is the driver's responsibility to ensure that all
electrical connections are working, and all trailer lights
are operating before and during towing. Model X does
not detect faulty trailer lights. You must perform manual
checks.
NOTE: Loss of trailer lights when towing may be the
result of a fault in the trailer wiring or excessive power
consumption by the lights connected to the trailer
output(s). When this occurs, a red Trailer Mode icon
appears on the touchscreen. Fix any issues with the
wiring and/or reduce the number of lights connected to
the trailer output(s), then toggle Trailer Mode off and on
again.
Plugging trailer wiring into the Model X electrical
connector automatically engages Trailer Mode (see
Trailer Mode on page
84).
WARNING: The brake controller output operates
only when a brake controller is installed (see
Brakes on page
85).
