 everyone Shaber 1000 here today we're going to be putting this custom wiring harness and this 2010 Chevy Traverse now a couple things I want to talk to you about these harnesses and we'll get into that here in just a minute hang tight guys I got this wire harness from from Kurt and I'll give you the the part number here in case you need to get one this also works on equinox and I think it tracks I'm not positive you know you got to do your research to make sure but I'm this will work on a an equinox there's the part number this is from Kurt's 56027 now this is for the vehicle that does not have the factory tow package okay if you have the vehicle that does have the factory tow package you'll get this okay this is also from Kurt and I'll show you the part number that's where I screwed up I bought the wrong one and because there's a plug down under here that I was thinking was it but it wasn't so it was my fault anyway I sent it back I still ended up with this one because when I bought the hitch I went through what was I went through a trailer when I bought the hitch next day they called me they actually called me on the phone and they said that they couldn't get the hitches in it could be another month so I said well cancel that order well this was in with that order and they didn't cancel this so I got to sell this okay now the part number on this this one is for the factory tow okay the part number on this is 55384 again that's through Kurt this one what it does is right up underneath right above where your hitch will be there'll be a plug there okay and what you'll do is you unplug that plug you plug this side into what you just unplugged from in this side or vice versa into the harness and that's all you have to do on this one again that's with the factory tow package now usually if you got a factory tow package it usually has the hitch and harness on it but that's you know replacement if you need it now this one here this is for the like I said the vehicle without the factory tow package now what you got to do with this one it's still real easy guys what you'll do with this one let's go ahead and take it out of the rubber band I put so many of these things on at work that was oh it was unreal so what you'll do now you have two of these okay now you you'll need to you'll need to put your ground somewhere up underneath the car wherever okay so this one with the yellow the brown and the white this is going to go to the driver's side the left side what you're going to do and I'm going to show you this what you'll do is unplug it and you plug one in into your light socket and the other end into the harness this one will come down underneath the vehicle go across back up there's plenty of room to get these up through now you you have to fish it a little bit but it's not that hard I'll show you what I do this one is the green with the two whites that will go to the right side which is the passenger side and then of course you've got your four-way flat and you want to tuck these all up in there nice and neat now this does come with the hot out there guys 95 right now we've been getting into the hundreds does come with your your little cover that will I usually put this on later because what this will do I'll show you when we get ready to do that this will slide down over there and then what this does is just a just a water boot keeps the water and stuff out but I put this on later so it doesn't you know get caught on stuff okay it does come with that of course it does come with your install instructions it does come with a self-tapping screw which you can use for your ground wire just put it up in there somewhere nice out of the way so you can't see it body grounded frame grounded whatever is convenient for you but it's a self-tapping screw and you also get your zip ties you may need more you may not need all of them okay so and again here's your here's your instructions right here and it tells you you know where to plug the things into gives you a list of what's in the box and again this part number is where's that five six zero two seven all right so make sure sometimes they get package strong at work sometimes I would I would grab the the kit and it had the wrong harness in it you know so always make sure you got the the right number five six zero two seven okay so let's go ahead whoa well these tail lights out really simple guys let's get into it okay now to pull these lights out I should have my mic on what you're gonna do these two buttons here she gets a little screwdriver in my case I'm using my pocket knife and they shouldn't fall out unless they've been out before those they should hang there and inside there let me see okay inside there is a hex head nut or a hex head screw now sometimes they'll have a Phillips sometimes they'll be Torax but in this case it is a hex head screw which I'm gonna have to go get a socket for because I was thinking it was a Phillips so let me go get my socket and let's pull this out of here it's real easy you still want to be careful especially on these older vehicles because up in here whoop there's little tabs which I'll show you there's little tabs that you don't want to break off so let me go get the socket I need okay so this is what I've got this is a 932nd and when you put these back in if you're using one of these guns again be careful because it's only going into plastic okay so and you have to do this to both sides all right now let me back you up here a little bit if I can get you a better angle I know the Sun's bright and I'm sorry guys okay so now this what you're gonna want to do I don't know what you're seeing or what you're not okay so what you're going to want to do is you'll push this back and that'll come out okay now under here this this plug here is the plug that you're going to plug your harness into now we got us we got a fishes down through here and out the bottom of the vehicle so what I usually do is now to unplug this there's a little tab here that you push down and pull it right out there's a tab right here you just push that down pull it right out and I set this aside because if you break this you know here's what this does is it goes into a little rubber boot there the inspector boot make sure it's not all cracked up this one's not too bad because if that rubber boots gone this will it won't come out as long as you have your screws in there but this it'll rattle you know you get that sound going down the road okay so what we're going to do with this I'll show you here we're going to fish this wire right down right down through there and it'll come out the bottom okay so let me I may have to fast forward you through this but so what you're going to do is you're going to fish all this down through your green white and your pigtail okay this is all getting pushed down through except for the yellow and black the yellow and black again is for this side which it's going to be plugged into well I can just show you right now so what you're going to want to do you got a plug like this and a plug like this okay so this is going to plug in here just like this make sure it clicks clips in there real good and then this end we'll plug in to that right there okay so let's go ahead and get this fish down through because like I said the other side will go to the other side of course but the green one's always your right white is always your ground brown is your tail lights or running lights and yellow is your right or your left turn signal okay and green is your right turn signal now some of these like like the S like our sometimes these will just fall down in there this one's going down pretty good on its own the Toyota Tacoma like if you have a tail light assembly that you know has your white for your reverse lights your red for your tail lights and the orange for a turn signal if your turn signal separate you'll have to get a module for they're a little pricey but but they're fine you can't just wire in into these okay on like the Toyota Tacomas anything that has like an orange a separate turn signal what you have to do so but in this case we don't need to do that you're gonna have to lay on the ground so I'm gonna see how far down I am okay I'm almost there there we go now we can just pull this straight down through I'll show you once we get up under there where it comes out at it looks like it's blocked off but it is not okay right now if you want you can go ahead and put this tail light in sometimes I would wait and make sure everything works but since this is all new should work fine and it's real easy to put these in so or take them out in case I have to but I shouldn't have to so I'm gonna plug that in till it clicks just like that then I'm gonna put my tail light back in make sure you got plenty of room there don't force anything okay so I'm gonna go ahead button this up we'll get down underneath the truck I'll show you the best I can how I'm gonna route these wires sometimes there's places you can tie them off at sometimes there's not like you got to watch your exhaust pipe and stuff like that but we'll get to that here in just a second hang tight guys okay here's a good example what I was talking about you never know this one has Phillips head screws in it the other side so one of these have been replaced this is what I was thinking it wasn't begin with I would say the other side has been replaced because of how easy it came out and because of the different screws I remember these just having the Phillips head screws okay so now what I'm gonna do is I got this I don't know how well you can see that let me turn the screen I got a roll of this copper coated wire you can use a mechanics wire which I have some but I couldn't find it so I'm just gonna use this and just gonna fish us down through just like you did the other side with your harness just gonna shove this down through to the bottom and this is what we're gonna tie our other end of the wire on to once we get down there running across okay so I want to do that well that was stupid that was all the way out the bottom I didn't see it till I started pulling it up okay so you're not gonna be able to get your hands in here alright you can get your hand up through the bottom a little bit if you got small hands but so sometimes if you got a buddy you can push your wire up through and they can grab a hold of it whatever use a piece of code hanger to grab it whatever it's not that hard there is plenty of room in here doesn't look like it but there is so that's what I'm doing right now so I'm gonna go down underneath I'm gonna go get my light because I forgot my light always forget something I try to have everything out here for you guys but and I'm gonna run these wires across here so that way you'll see what I'm talking about underneath okay so we've got our wire fish down through here like I said you go watch out for this exhaust but there's plenty of room to run that wire now get you up under here and show you what I like to do is run it up on top of the hitch here's the hitch I like to run them up on top also you've got on this one maybe not all of them but they should be protected underneath that bumper right there if they're not sometimes I don't know if you can see up in there or not but sometimes let me get a light on these wires for your backup assist those little that's your backup beepers for when you're getting close to something now sometimes those wires are open whatever you do don't tie on to them because if something rips you rip them out those are very expensive and there's our there's our four-way four-way flat now what I'm gonna do is this is the green wire well other end this is the green and white wire it's gonna run across here and I'm gonna tie it on over here I don't know what you guys can see I'm gonna tie it on over here it's gonna be up above the muffler up out of the way now these mufflers don't get super hot but just in case and I'm gonna pull it up through with this okay now I know I'm not gonna be able to keep you down here but I'll show you when I'm all done how I routed mine and then you'll get an idea how you can route yours because okay so let's go ahead and pull pull this off a quarter turn okay so that comes off there's our hits and our wires are going to be right into here where yet right into here and I'll hook time up here somehow there they'll be right here so I can just pull them out when I'm using the hitch pretty much what I did on the truck only it was you know it's open okay so let me get let me get this wire run but you get the idea I like I said I can't keep the camera down here so I'm gonna go up above that wire tie it whatever and then I'm gonna find a place for my my ground wire now my ground wire it's not gonna land on my phone I will probably ground right in here somewhere of course make sure it's metal because some of these are plastic scrape it off a little bit and I'll run that that screw in there and sometimes these screws they're not the greatest so if you got one which I probably use one of mine so a little that is sometimes they they don't tighten up all the way and you lose your ground and your turtleneck lights aren't working so that's probably what I'll do is go right beside this because I know there's nothing behind here I got to worry about and I'll put my own screw in there so anyway let me get that wire run across there and then we'll pull this up through one other quick tip go ahead and run this your other side and get it mounted to get it hooked up in there and everything first that way if for some reason this is not long enough to where you need it to be you can buy a little pigtail extensions you know 6 8 10 inches whatever you can have made up or make your own but just in case I forgot to mention that because I have seen them before to where they just weren't quite long enough and I had to put an extension on it because once I had everything buttoned up there nice and neat and I started on this side I didn't have enough enough to go up through so I had to undo it all and then make an extension so just keep that in mind but on these I think if I remember right these are pretty pretty good and you'll have pretty you'll have a good amount left over so just a quick tip for you on that and there we go once you get it started it'll come up through now let me go get a screw and we'll hook our ground wire up okay so what I used to scrape that with was just this that paints real thin it goes right through the primer that's pure metal so I did was just scrape a little spot where this is going to be just like that like I said make sure there's nothing back there but I know for fact on these there is nothing back in there just like that now you don't have to do this if it's up in here it's pretty well protected but like up north yeah you probably want to worry about it down here in Florida or you know you don't have to worry about that but I always do anyway a little bit of silicone sealant whatever just enough to keep that from rusting you'll be fine now let's go ahead like I said you can't mix these up there's only one way they'll go make sure it clips and now the tail light just like even the plugs will only go one way there you go just like that now let's get you out here a little bit make sure you got everything down here out of the way it shouldn't rattle around it does if you develop the rattle you know what it is but it everything stays pretty snug up in here so you should be all right now I'll put our screws back in then we'll go and then I'll go underneath and get that all buttoned up under there and I'll show you what I'm doing there and we'll be good to go so stick with me guys we're almost done with this project very easy very simple any do it yourself or can do it even if you're not you'll still be able to do this it's it's that simple and I know we've all got that friend that likes to work on cars well grown up I was that friend I was a good guy to have around okay so make sure it's tight good to go a little bit there we go all right let me get down here and get this all buttoned up we'll go from there okay guys so this is what I did this is driver's side that's where it came down the wire put it up here I got it zip tied same way with this side I got it zip tied I wanted to show you about that exhaust see that is way up there out of the way it's not touching the exhaust it's got about four inches three and a half to four inches it's kind of tight don't get them too tight you don't want them stretching but now this I just wrap some black tape around here some electrical tape if it could if this if this was going to be seen I would put some you know fuel line or you know wire loom on it but it's not going to be seen so that's going to be good and this is just going to be right there so I've got plenty to pull out so I'm just going to put it right there for storage with my little thing here now I don't know if you guys will be able to see this let's see I'll show you how see how I put mine on let me raise you up a little bit okay all right now all right so what I'm gonna do here so I'm gonna find it's gonna go like this because there's a certain a little hole in there that this that your ground goes up into so I'm gonna flip it like this and put this on here now they make little brackets for these things that take just a couple screws and you put them up here on your hitch wherever you can want to put them and they say just like that and then you don't this won't be hanging it'll be mounting permanent so I'm gonna take this up here I know you can't see it but I'll show you here in a second what I do with this then we're going to check our lights so this is what I do right there just run it through where your safety chain goes because this is going to be out of your way once you put your safe once you get your trailer on this ain't gonna be through here so it's not gonna it's not gonna hinder anything then I'm just gonna stuff this up in there but let's go ahead and let's check our lights let me get that off of there I'm just going to use a test light okay all right now whatever I put my test light there it is I put it up there this is your ground so I'm gonna clip on to my ground you can also ground anywhere on the frame or body of the vehicle but when I'm checking these I like to check this because if this ground's not working nothing will work and you may think something else is wrong with it okay so there's that it's hanging there like that now I'm gonna go turn the headlights on and I'm gonna check the brown wire whoops may just have to hold that on there this this clamp is not these test lights man see it's on can you guys see that okay so now I'm gonna check the the left turn signal which is gonna be the yellow so this will be the yellow wire which is right beside the brown is the one in the middle so it's blinking I want to check the the right which is the green and we have them all now to check the brake lights what you would do is put something on your brake pedal or have somebody step on the brake and check your your yellow and your green okay that's without your without any flashers on you check your yellow and green they both should light up now on this one I don't have to worry about that because I know on this particular vehicle I know that if I've got a left turn and a right turn I'm gonna have brakes because it's on the same circuit I'm gonna have brake lights now if you have a different circuit like I was talking about earlier where you need the module like on the 2003 Toyota Tacoma something like that if you have separate turn signals if you have orange turn signals then you'll have to check them okay and you'll do it the same way like I said you have somebody put your foot on the brake check the yellow and check the green they both should light up this one I don't have to worry about it because I know if these are blinking it's on the same circuit as the brake lights so I don't have to do that you can if you want but you don't have to on this particular model so yeah if you don't have if you don't have that little electronic box and some of those you got to run a wire up to the battery you know power wire for them to work if you don't have that if you just got this system you can check your left and right turn if you got those you have brake lights because like I said they're on the same circuit okay so let's get this put back up in here and we'll do our final thoughts okay so all right let me get this up here we'll be done okay guys so there you go that's put your turtle or light harness some people call him pigtail some people call him Y connectors that's what you got to do put on is 2010 Chevy equinox same thing traverse so it's real simple guys it doesn't take as long as what the video took because I like to explain things I have people that have commented I talked too much just show it then when I do that I got people more people saying you know I wish you would explain more you know blah blah blah ask me questions so you know what from now on I'm gonna do it my way I'm gonna explain if people don't like it they can click off or you know they can they can fast forward forward through it whatever I'm not gonna beg somebody to watch my video you don't want to watch it go somewhere else and watch it watch something on on you haul and then after you do it their way then you'll come back and ask me questions I won't answer you how's that so I'm sorry I'm a little salty guys but you know I got a lot of shit going on but that's what I'm gonna do for now I'm gonna do it my way so if the people that's watching this that has to fast forward through it because you know I can't do that for him or your music's too loud your intro was way too loud well I'm sorry but I'm not in control your earbuds and apparently those kind of people don't watch enough videos because 90% of them blow your fucking head off with the sound anyway I try to keep mine as normal as possible I'm not a professional filmmaker I don't claim to be I don't want to be this is my hobby this is what I like to do so anyway for those of you that support me I thank you very very much you guys are awesome but that's all it takes on these things it's real simple hopefully you got the gist of it I know camera work kind of sucks but I do this myself I do my own filming you know I'm holding a two and a half pound camera trying to show you this you guys this stuff up underneath there so you know I don't have a ten thousand dollar lift I can put this thing up on and have my buddy sit there and do everything perfect but you get the idea you know don't wrap your wires around exhaust pipe don't wrap it around you know don't wrap your wires around a driveshaft I mean it's common sense keep keep it away from sharp pieces that may cut into the wire keep them away from that keep them away from anything hot you know don't wire it onto existing wires you know it's just it's common sense guys but this is sorry about the rain it just oh I can just hear the people now you know my haters that's how I know they don't watch through the whole thing you know like if I say throw something in towards the end oh by the way this is how you do this like the tent you didn't show how you put the the the TP tent you didn't show how the poles go actually I did if you watch a whole damn thing I do show it and I do show you how they work so you know that's how I know when people don't watch the whole thing and then they're just too quick to type type typey typey type in their mom's basement my bring me another sandwich I got a type to this guy because I didn't watch his whole video because I'm a 37 year old piece of shit that don't want to work and get out of his mom's basement anyway sorry about that just had to get off my chest but that's how you do it and you guys that support me I thank you so much you guys are awesome you're the greatest I mean because I honestly I would still be doing this stuff if I wasn't you too but I'd still be doing it but I bring you guys along with me because I want to share with you some of the things I do and maybe it might just help someone you know so they don't order the wrong part and you know like I did you know we're only human I ordered the wrong part my fault okay so I want someone else not to do that so you know anyway guys thanks for watching it's pretty simple stay tuned I got a I got a whole trailer light wire kit and light kit for the boat trailer we're gonna put we're gonna rewire that and put new lights on I got the smaller lights because that one's got the long ones and I want to put them up on those roller the roller brackets for the for the loading rollers and they're the the square ones so they're LEDs and they are submersible that means you can back them down in the water so and then I've got some bearings to do on that but already show you guys the bearings on that so I won't bring you along with me on that but I will show you how I wire up my trailers again it's real simple and a lot of this stuff guys if I like the way I read my wire up on top of the the the trailer hitch to if you don't want to do that you can put it down on the bottom just make sure it's not hanging down you know some of that comes down to matter of preference do I want to run it on top or do I want to run it in front behind whatever that's up to you guys just make sure everything's out of the way and nice and neat and tidy and and you should be alright like I said this particular car if you got left turn and right turn your brakes are going to work because they're on the same circuit but the ones that you have to have that little module where you run a power wire to your battery you got to have that you can't do it that way so you can but I wouldn't advise it because sometimes those will say they're working and then you got to plug it in your trailer lights and you're getting wigwags and all kinds of stuff but this one you know if you got left and right turn you're good to go just remember that and hopefully there's part numbers help you guys hopefully I explained that well enough and not too long that you know the one is for a that has the factory tow package one is without the factory tow so thanks for watching guys I appreciate it please check out monkey 1000s channel check out Dean move those guys are awesome and we'll see you guys in the next one thanks again everybody and I appreciate it we'll see y'all soon bye bye and take care stealthy a no one knows you have a hitch cool
