7-Pin Trailer Plug

What You need

Your vehicle must have a 7-pin trailer connector that provides constant 12V power.

How to Check

1. Confirm your vehicle has a 7-pin connector near the hitch.
2. With the vehicle running, use a test light or multimeter to verify the 12V power pin is live (typically at the 1 o’clock position when the cover is on top; at 7 o’clock if the cover is on the bottom).
3. If power isn’t present, a local auto shop can usually enable it quickly.

Good to know

• Some vehicles require dealer activation or an accessory wiring kit for the 12V feed.
• Many vehicles are pre-wired but missing the 12V charge-line fuse from the factory.
• Power availability may depend on the ignition being in RUN or ACC, and varies by vehicle.
