2005 Suburban Z71 4WD I had similar situation. No 12 volt positive to 7 trailer. Under my hood at the fuse panel, the red 12v + wire was connected to Stud # 1 which is on the left side of fuse box. There is a square fuse right next to this stud. I put a 40 amp fuse in it. I use this power to charge a battery in a trailer as I am hauling.

    2005 Suburban Z71 4WD I had similar situation. I had no 12 volt positive to 7 blade trailer plug at rear.

I use this power to charge a battery in a trailer as I am hauling. I am going to put a circuit breaker type fuse in this location when I find it.

SOURCE: Where is the fuse located for the 12 volt power on

Hi, the power terminal to the 7 way , is not hooked up from the factory. In order to hook this up, you must locate 2 wires under the hood. The 1st wire, is between the driver fender, and the fuse box. This wire is red , and taped up. Grab hold od this wire, and pull it out of the tape. It has an eyelet on the end of it. The next wire is below the steering column, same scenario, red wire, with an eyelet, pull this out of the tape, route both wires to the front of the fuse box (underhood), take the cover off of the fuse box, you will find 2 silver threaded dtuds on the front of the fuse panel. 1 larger than the other.route these 2 wires to these two studs, and secure with 2 metric nuts. You will have to get these. does not matter which wires go where, as both studs are battery power, and are both fused. the wires will only go on 1 way anyway. after the nuts are tightened, reinstall the cover, and you will have power at the 7 way. Good luck...

SOURCE: how do I get 12 volts at the factory installed trailer connector

You are correct. There is a fuse in the underhood fuse/relay compartment that powers up the pin. It is one of the larger fuses and should be labeled as "AUX". Also check that the power wire is connected to the AUX bolt terminal. They shipped from the factory disconnected and the cable was zip-tied to something below the fuse box.

Testimonial: "I knew there had to be something needed done, I'll check in the morning under the fuse panel for a wire to terminate and see what happens. sounds log"

Why fuse goes out when flat towing Fiat 500 on Chateau 25V

25v is model # of motor RV coach. not volts.
well the fuse is wrong size
or there is a short in the end to end of the feed line
not told what fuse blew.

top cause wired wrong at hitch
cars cam have upto 12 park lamps but not Fiat500, less

parks (tails)blinkers.or reverse or brake feed.the fuse is marked as to its use.

most wise makers of hitch kits
have a buffer box for the towed (trailer car)
that has its own fuses, so fuses in the RV never blow.
buy this kit and install it. if not there already.
or get an RV center in the loop.

Can you modify a fuse box from no-tow to tow package and how

No, you cannot. However, if you choose not to spend the money on a new underhood fuse block, you can still get around it. Most auto parts stores sell jumper harnesses that will allow you to plug into both rear tail lamps for all of your trailer lights, and then the jumper plug has a connector on the end that plugs into your trailer. It's generally cheaper than installing a new fuse block with the trailer circuits in it.

Brake light fuse keeps blowing in my 1997 Suburban only when towing trailers.

If the fuse blows on different trailers then it's all down to the vehicle. You either have incorrect wiring on the vehicle, a short OR the fuse is not of a high enough value to cope with the additional brake lights? You could try removing all the trailer bulbs EXCEPT the brake lights - e.g. if it's trying to power up the indicators too? That would stop the fuse blowing...... OR remove the brake bulbs from the vehicle & see if it operates the trailer without blowing...... Check the total wattage of ALL the brake lamps & see if the fuse is actually of a high enough rating? Be aware though that increasing the value of the fuse could cause damage elsewhere! As a rough guide a 25 watt bulb will pull around 2 amps at 12 volts - so 4 bulbs may pull up to 8 amps & clearly blow a 5 amp fuse! If in doubt take it to an auto electrician...... The wiring needs to be correctly protected!

I have a 2010 XLT Club Wagon E 350. It had reverse aid and no trailer towing package. I installed the ford wiring harness that had the trailer connectors (it replaced the harness from the connector on the...

More than likely your van is just missing the required fuses and relays. In the fuse panel in the engine compartment there should be a 20amp fuse in location F48, a 20amp fuse in location F57, a 15amp fuse in location F58,and a 30amp fuse in location F63. There are also 4 relays required. 2 rectangular 5 pin(Part#F5TZ-14N089-B) and 2 small square 4 pin(Part#5L3Z-14N089-AA). Unfortunately these are not given locations so I will try and give you an idea of where they go. The 1st 4 pin goes above fuse F53 and the 2nd goes above fuse F56. The 1st 5 pin goes above fuse F17 and the 2nd goes above fuse F21. If you have the owners manual these will be easy to find or a diagram may be stamped into the fuse box cover. Also some vehicles come with all the required fuses and relays and instructions in the glove box for adding trailer tow. I'm not sure if an E350 is one though.

I do not have power on the aux. terminal in the trailer plug on a 2008 dodge ram. Any ideas?

You have got 7 pin trailer connector that was included in the optional trailer tow package. This trailer tow package also includes an electric trailer brake wiring provision that terminates at a connector located on top of the large body harness connection under the instrument panel to the left of the break pedal, as well as an electric trailer brake pigtail harness and an instruction card that are stored in the glove box when the vehicle is shipped from the factory. You will need to add an electric brake controller of your choice that will plug-in to the harness and that will also give you power on your auxiliary circuit.
