How to Activate 12 V Aux Power in a 2007-2014 Chevrolet Suburban

Introducción

Even though 2007-2014 Chevrolet Suburbans come with a trailer tow package, the manufacturer has neglected to connect the wire that enables the 12-volt auxiliary pin on the 7 pin connector. This technique allows tail lights and blinkers of any tow-behind trailer to be powered by the vehicle. It will also power any other appliances that may be in the trailer such as refrigerators or microwaves. This is an easy fix that may cost $75-100 for a professional to execute.

This sends constant power to the trailer. What if I wanted to make that power switched by the ignition so when the key is off I can be confident that the trailer won't kill my truck battery? I know I can just unplug the trailer harness or pull this fuse to stop it, but That might be easy to forget to do.

It’s not a break booster, it is a brake booster. If you are going to be an author, you should know the meaning of the words you use.
