I purchased my 2007 Outlook with the towing package about a year ago. I haven't had any occasion to tow until now. So I opened up the little storage cubby in the back to get out the wiring harness. I expected it to be plug & play. Instead, this is what I have:
What the heck do I do with this? Shouldn't they have provided me a harness with a plug on each end?
I believe that harness is for wiring up trailer brakes. If you are towing without the need of trailer brakes, then just plugging into the socket at the rear hitch should be all you need to do.

Well, my trailer does have brakes, but I think what I really need is an adapter for the 5-pin plug on the trailer and the 7 (?) pin plug on the Outlook.

From your brief description it sounds as if your trailer does not need a brake controller, can't recall what that type of brakes are called. I know there were several discussions on these types of brakes in the Enclave or Acadia forum and issues members had. Something about brakes engaging when put into reverse, I think. Hope this helps some, I'm only familiar with trailers that require a controller and the 7-pin plug.
Trailers with 5 pin plugs and brakes just use a pressure sensor in the hitch/ball connection to trigger brakes if the trailer is being pushed into the ball when the vehicle stops. (i believe)

I have had a front turn signal issue ever since buying my 2009 Outlook. It flashes quick like there is a bulb out but none are. I have noticed that the headlights flicker when the turn signal is on but the turn signal lights are very dim. I also noticed that when the lights are manually off...
Hello, I have a 2007 Saturn outlook that was throwing and P0008, mis-aligned cams with the crankshaft. I drove the car into my garage and replaced the timing chain using a maintenance manual for the engine (3.6L VVT) online. put everything back together and now the car won't start. All the...
I keep thinking about trying to install a 5.3 LS and transmission out of a 2008 impala SS.
the only thing that I really worry about is the wiring. I know you can get stand alone computers for them but would like it to work with the stock gauges and stuff.
Wonder if anyone has tried this yet?
Hi everyone,
I'd like to get some advice on whether or not to keep and fix my car or get a new one. I'm the original owner of a 2000 SL1 sedan with 170,000 miles. Over the years I've replaced the clutch, radiator, water pump, had the cylinders reground and new gaskets, and replaced the struts...
I just bought a 2009 Saturn Outlook XR. It has the rosen system in it. However, it needs a gps sd card to work (?). Can anyone help me out with this? Also, it has a blown front door speaker (I assume as no sound is coming out). What size are the speakers? Thanks in advance.
