Anyone know how the trailer wireing works?
I cant seem to hook up the trailer light connector. The ones that I bought came with four wires and the wireing on the back of my 97 Jimmy has two greens and two white with a total of 6 wires. I tried hooking up both whites to the trailer wiring white and both greens to the trailers green but it keeps blowing fuses. Got any pics or a write up?

I connected from the factory wire harness, the thicker of the two white wires, and the darker of the green wires.
DO NOT connect both greens or both whites to the same wire! your reverse lights will come on when you hit your brakes! Trust me I know first hand.

What did you hook the blue wire to? I dont have a blue wire out the back of mine. Where can I buy that harness you have pictured?

I remember having a couple wires exposed, and just tapping them off.
I went to a local boat store, and bout the trailer harness connector for ~5bucks. Then just color matched them.
EDIT:
Thats just a random picture off google. The one I have has
White
Yellow
Brown
Green
And I have the light green and blue wire just tapped off.

Your owners manual also identifies each of your wire's function based on color. Should help with connecting your plug.
