Trailer Light Connections

[Ldub]

I am new here but have owned a 2001 Proton from new. I always wanted the ability to use a trailer but the Owners Manual says the VX is not designed for Trailer use. Am I missing something. Any photos or spec on what people are hauling and weight limits? Where is Tone located and where is St Charles Isuzu they sound like good resources.

Need stock parts cheap with FREE freight?
1-800-727-8066 St. Charles Isuzu - ask for Merlin!

Need mods / accessories? tonemonday.com

St.Charles IL., I think...

Tone is in Austin, TX

Didn't tow the utility trailer with the Dingo - they messed up on my reservation. Reserved it for a couple of weeks out so I'll let you know.

I had a hitch installed and the wiring done at U-haul. now.. the cruise shuts off if I use my turn signal and when its raining the left turn signal stays on.. so much for the mythical black box

[etlsport]

yea spike had his done at u-haul too.. and we have had a crazy time figuring out whats going on with his lights... when he uses his 4 ways the 3rd brake light flashes... and when his brake lights are on his turn signals work like normal, but when the brake lights are off the tail lights flash with the turn signals and the turn signal conversion for the side markers doesn't work at all

Our system (like many newer vehicles) is a five wire system since we have separate tail and brake lights instead of simply making one bulb brighter for
brakes. You can tag the wires outside right behind the tailights. Or, inside the jack compartment on the driver's side and the jack compartlment on the passenger side.
RT Turn Signal Wire Color (only avail on the Passenger Side): Green/Blue
LF Turn Signal Wire Color (only avail on Driver's Side): Green/Blue
Parking/Running Light Wire Color: Green/Red
Brake Light Wire Color: Green

I usually mount the converter on the driver's side and run the long green wire on the converter over to the passenger side light harness. Be sure to firmly ground the White wire on the converter - I include a self tapping screw and star washer - scrape the paint off of the body where you attach it or secure it under an existing stud or bolt that has been scraped.

figured this was a pretty good place for this question/problem

i got a tester for the trailer wiring lights... hooked it up on my vx's trailer wiring to see how it worked... tail light was fine.. couldnt test brakes because i was alone... turn signals worked ok, but when i turned my headlights on, the turn signals didnt work anymore... is that normal?

I searched and found some help in this thread, so I am reviving it for another question....


I have my hitch installed (THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK Tom4Bren!!!!) but havent installed a light hookup yet.

Can someone tell me if this will work....
