  1. Hey guys. new to the forum here and hoping that i could get some expert help with a wiring issue that i am having. I have a 2013 NV2500 with the V8, navigation and tow package. I pull a trailer and need reverse lights that are strong, for several reasons. I wired in 2 7" cree LED lights that i mounted under the rear bumper. I wired them to the reverse wire in the 7 pin trailer plug. Everything works great, they are bright, i am almost happy. What I am trying to do is to wire the reverse lights to a dash mounted switch, so that i can power the reverse lights without having to have the switch on and the shifter in reverse. I have the switch mounted and I found a reverse signal wire behind the radio. i wired my switch to that wire. When powered, it turns on the factory reverse lights and the backup camera, but it does not power the trailer plug reverse wire, which is the wire that I have my LED lights wired to. Can anyone tell me where the trailer plug wires are in the dash or under the hood? I followed the wire harness from the 7 way and it is routed to the passenger side under the van. It looks like it goes up to the fuse and relay box. I know that the reverse wire at the 7 way is yellow, but I tested every yellow wire in the fuse block, with no luck finding the reverse wire. I am very picky about wiring and I do not want to run a wire from my factory reverse lights, thru the cab, to my 7 way.I know that there has got to be a start location somewhere under the dash or in the engine compartment. I am not sure why the factory reverse lights would work with my new switch and not the reverse lights on the 7 way. This doesn't make a lot of sense to me. CAN SOMEONE HELP????
  2. Hey everyone. I have a question that I am hoping you guys can help me out with. 2013 NV2500 with factory hitch and wiring for 7 way. I have installed the brake controller with the plug and play connector. All of that is working as it should. My problem is that I do not have the 12 volt at the 7 way. I am sure that there is a fuse or a connection to make to enable the 12 volt lead on the 7 way. In my Chevy 2500, I have to make a connection at the fuse panel under the hood. I cannot find anything like that on the NV. I pull 2 trailers and both have the battery backup for the trailer brakes and interior lights that run on the 12 volt. So now that I have this van, I have no charging for the trailer battery or any interior lights until I find a way to simply make the connection. Thanks in advance for any help that you may be able to offer.
