Trailer Wiring underdash?


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hi Guy's,

Lot's of questions here....

1s:- Did your Car come with a Factory Plug? If so where was in located? Couldn't find mine anywhere. I also went to the Dealer and couldn't find one in any of the 17' Acadia's!!!

2nd: Where does it plug in under the Dash? Looked for ever and couldn't find a open spot

3rd: I bought a Plug and Controller from etrailer.com and the one they sent it right but again can't find any spots that looks like the Part #3026 Plug end.

I don't own one, but I'd be glad to help if possible. GM's listed location for the blunt cut wiring is very vague. All I can find anywhere is "In the passenger compartment, forward of the center console." That I guess, points at it being taped up somewhere around that area,

 

Now, from looking at the wiring schematics, the blunt cut wiring is only on Acadias with V92 trailering package. V92 is: Trailering Package includes factory-installed hitch, 4000 lb. towing, 7-pin wiring harness, Class III hitch and (V08) heavy-duty cooling system.

 

Chances are some of the ones you looked at might not have had the factory trailering package?

Thank you 15HDriver!!! I will look over on the side!! I made sure from the window sticker said they had the Towing Package and checked under the bumper cover for a hitch.

Where can I see the wiring schematics??? I am hoping to find with plug and colors the wires are for the Fog Lights and Parking Lights.

Thanks 15HDriver!!! I will look on that side today. Also where can I see the Wiring Schematic for this Car? I want to try finding the Fog Light and Parking Lights for the diode mod. Thanks?

Okay, here is my 1st attempt at a Write Up:

- 2017 GMC Acadia Denali w/V92 (Trailer Pkg. Factory Installed)
- Put the Drivers seat all the way back
- Remove the little square access tab right next to the Gas Pedal
- Use a 7mm Nut Driver to remove the Screw
- Now starting under the Dash start to remove the Center Console side panel. This is held on with clips so it comes off pretty easily.
- Once off of the Console it takes some jockeying to get it out.
- Once out look at the Fire Wall and you will see the Blunt Cut Wires.
- (2) Blue, (1) 12v IT HAS POWER!!!! and (1) Trailer Brake Signal
- (1) Black Grnd.
- (White/Blue) Signal Wire
- Connect your Controller Wires
- Put Console Panel into position. Look at the lower back corner near the seat. Use a long screw driver to push the
lower tab into position 1st!
- Lightly push all of the taps in
- Now mount your controller.

    • Just did an injector/HPFP replacement on Pepper at 192,400 miles; close enough to 200K, RIGHT? (If 200K is considered life end and to me it isn't). But hey, to each his own.    Have never run a catch can on this vehicle. Back side of every valve looked like a new valve spray painted semigloss black. Port walls looked 'neat' (all a normal result of passive EGR via VVT) Zero build up even in AFM cylinders. Just color. It uses no measurable oil and never has.    At 155,000 I put her on E-85 and a borescope of the cylinders at plug change showed very clean pistons and valve faces. The replaced injector tips looked new. (It was the pump piston seal that was leaking). Oh well, have six good backups.    Still gets 28 mpg on gas (highway average) and over 20 (highway) on alky. UOA's look good and runs as good now as it did when I bought it. Better in fact.    What improvement would a Catch Can provide this motor?     And given all this I expect that IF I installed one I'd see some water/gas/oil vapor accumulation. Byproducts of normal combustion.   Having said that, IF my motor used an appreciable amount of oil I'd consider it a useful 'crutch' until I had the situation corrected OR if bore polished, until I junked it or rebuilt it to stave off repeated plug fouling.    I'm not telling you what I THINK. But what its DONE.          
    • Love the look. I'm a SCSB lover myself.    Two items. 1.) A spacer changes scrub radius but this also changes when we use wheels of different offsets. A little isn't a big deal. 2.) Steel wheels, alloy wheels all have different thickness. Same effect on the stud and lug nut as a spacer. When hub centric the wheel isn't supported by the stud. It's supported by the hub. The stud just keeps it all together.  
    • I had a evap sol go bad a couple weeks ago. . I replaced it.  While watching live data at the time I saw I had some cylinder 1 misfires. No MIL but on live data I could see ~50 at startup and about 70 more after an hour a drive all on cyl 1.  I also noticed that the LTFT were -5% to -15% always.  And that bank 2 is always -3% richer than bank 1. Even across all driving modes, city, highway, etc it’s always 3% richer than bank 1. So I start with the misfire. Swapped coil, plug, and plug wires from 1 to 3. No follow. I got an Injector reseal kit, pulled the D/s injector rail, swapped #1 and #3 injectors, resealed them, reinstalled and retested.  The misfire followed to 3. So I ordered and replaced all 8 injectors, spark plugs, and plug wires. Also replaced the 1 time use fuel pipes under the intake manifold.  Injectors that were in the truck since new were  Part # 12668390.  I replaced them with # 12742701 Got from RockAuto. Pretty certain they’re genuine and the correct ones. I called a friend at a parts store who told me “the 12742701 were the correct superseded part # for the originals I was replacing”. So started truck after replacing all that and it’s running -15 - -30 LTFTs. I reset the fuel trims with GDS2 and drove it for a 60 miles trip each way. There have been no changes in the LTFTs.  I checked if the HPFP was leaking into the crankcase. I removed the pvc and watched the trims. No difference.  I checked the alcohol content and it was at 10%  I’m out of ideas here. Truck seems to run great. Just always rich on the fuel trims.  Anyone with any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated.  I ran an injector balance test just for the heck of it and it came back this. I’m confused.  I have gds2 and some other diag tools if anyone knows of anything I should test next.
