We have a 1996 Chevy Tracker 2wd.as a tow car. Have the magnetic tail lights on back bumper,,
would like to hard wire the connection to the trackers break and running ,turn lights .so we can get rid of the magnetic lights, and use the stock lights for towing,
the magnetic lights have to be removed to open the tailgate.
i see i could run a wire all the way to back and hook into where a trailer light pigtail would go,.. but thought one of you guys may know where to hook up under the hood,, save me some wire,
Most manufacturers of the diodes packs, recommend they are installed as close to the lights as possible.
My old Sidekick I installed the diodes and the wire behind the left rear tailight assembly.
Try going to Roadmasterinc.com and locate wiring recommendations.
I used the red brake lamps for the turn signals rather then buying a converter to change the red from MH to amber on Suzuki. Saves a couple diodes also.
You must use diodes to prevent feed back into the Tracker's computers.
I had magnetic lights for sometime. I ran the four conductor under the rig and put the connector into the back of the Sidekick. It saved running the wire over the top.
I tow a 2002 Chevy tracker and what I did was to install a new bulb in the tail light assembly and wire it like a trailer light install,using 4 wires.Then all you have to do is connect it to HM.
Hi We have a 91 tracker that we tow. The people that we got it from went under the dash and cut the wires going to the rear lights. Then wired both sides to both ends of a trailer harness and ran them under the hood. So to tow you unplug them from each other and plug the male end into the rear of the motorhome. just remember to plug them back together to drive the tracker.
