#3 of 17 Astro van trailer wiring question. by joshdamons Jun 13, 2006 (4:10 pm)
We are attaching a trailer to our astro that came without a towing package, we have installed all the hitch stuff, and the trailer is ready with a flat 4 pin plug. The van has a bundle of wires that comes out to the jack storage area, but there is no plug at the end of the wires. The colors are different from the plug, or I would go ahead and splice it. There are about 7 wires coming from the astro... which 4 are the right ones? If anyone can help me out I would greatly appreciate it.

Anyone know if the 2007 Avalanche comes with a transmission cooler. I looked under the hood of one and it looks like it has the connections from the radiator to the tranny area, but did not get a close look. It comes with a hitch and most vehicle sold with a towing package do have the cooler. Anyone know for sure or do you have to have one installed. Also, what about a break controller?

Replying to: gmaster (Sep 04, 2006 4:17 pm) gmaster, this is the Chevy Astro discussion. I see that you've already found the Chevy Avalanche: Accessories & Modifications discussion -- that's where you should post your question.

#11 of 17 Trailer Wiring Question by ordonez Mar 16, 2007 (7:57 am)
Hello all. I have a 2004 chevy astro. Does anybody know how to run the trailer wiring from the inside jack housing to the outside and under the van? Going to install the car end trailer plug right beside the hitch but not sure how to bring the wires from inside to the ouside. Thanks.

Replying to: ordonez (Mar 16, 2007 7:57 am) I have the 7 pin connector with trailer brakes which stay inside the van until I tow the trailer. Then I open the right back door and run the wire between the 2 doors and shut the door over the wire (it does not damage the wires been doing it for 4 years now). This keeps the wire harness and connector out of the elements the 90% of the time it is not used. I don't worry about the weather corroding the connectors.
