    Very helpful to see which bulb connector on the passenger tail light I had to use since there was no middle connector like the drivers side had. thanks for posting.

    Nice little video. I'm getting ready to wire mine in a couple weeks.

    Thanks for doing this. I believe the wires that for nothing are the ground wires. You might have been able to tap into those the same way instead of drilling a ground screw.

      Thanks, I didnt like drilling that hole, but I have towed a few times and im happy to have the hitch and wiring functional.

    Great video. You could have run the green wire inside under the trim panels. Next time! Works either way lol.

    I found your video very helpful thank you :) but it got me confused in the white wire and purple line then when I saw the taping it was in different wire so which one was it for the tale light?

      You're welcome. I just rewatched the video. On the right side White with purple stripe is the taillight, white with yellow stripe is the turn signal/ brake light.

      I found it but there is an issue when I step on the breaks the front side lights turn on too I'm so confused 😥

      @@ehernandez1917 sorry buddy, I don't know. My van was completely original with all original style bulbs, I read that aftermarket bulbs can sometimes cause problems, if you have them, I'd start there. I don't have the van anymore either.

      You're welcome. Figured since it didn't exist, I'd make it myself.

    Good way to cause a short by having power/battery connected while working on that/those circuits. Not to mention causing a fault in the BCM (Body Control Module) which will cost you a pretty penny to replace. NEVER WORK ON ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS WITH LIVE POWER TO THEM. Unsafe and can be very costly for repairs.

    Bro first of all you should have gotten a plug and play trailer wireing it would have been way way faster

    • @delux68
      @delux68  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Nope. The plug in ones that I found were around $70 and they were for LED taillights. Why spend $70 when I can do for a 10th of that?

      @@delux68 Did you mean your trailer has LED lights, or the plug&play is for LED? Just curious, because LED lights take a fraction of the power as the older type bulbs.

      @@donf3739 No, the newer Town & Country and Grand Caravan have LED taillights, my 2008 Town & Country had incandescent bulb taillights so no need for a fancy wiring kit when a simple one would work. It is my understanding that in order for trailer lights to work with the vehicles LED taillights, you need the $70-ish wiring kit.

      @@delux68 Ohh, now I get it. Thanks for explaining. That IS pretty wimpy wiring to the vehicle's taillights (on my 2010). I didn't realize they are LED.

    • @donf3739
      @donf3739 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Looking again, I think my 2010 has the same wire size as your '08, and the parts sites list LED and incandescent bulbs for both years. I bought the powered kit on Amazon for $47. I think it was worth it to have that additional power to make the trailer lights their brightest. The only hard part is running that wire up to the battery.
