Lbox88 Posted June 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2012 So, just found this out. There is a connector in this model of equinox for "just in case" you want to tow something. You just need 2 relays and a harness. Where is this "JIC" connector you ask? Why, just inside the car of course, right underneath the jack stand So I gotta strip out the garbage someone else put in, repair the wires, and then get a hold of this harness. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3-RnIkJUhWQ UBL | Build Log Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lbox88 Posted July 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2012 Took apart the passenger tail light and ripped the ghetto ass wiring off. The splice crimp cut in pretty deep, so I cut the wires where the splice had cut in, stripped, soldered, and heatshrinked the wires. Need to pull the passenger side too, I think there is probably one wire over there for the harness. Need to finish this all up so that I can clean my work counter. Gettin more and more messy, but there's no point in putting a bunch of tools away that I'll probably need. UBL | Build Log Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lbox88 Posted July 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2012 Took apart the rear driver tail light and it was as I expected. There was one splice crimp for the trailer harness. Took it off, soldered the wire, heatshrink, doped the connection, and reassembled. So far, my right tail light seems to be doing fine now, so I'm assuming at this point that the the splice cut too much of the wire, which corroded, and I was getting a bad connection. Going to swing by Advance Auto Parts to see about getting the right trailer harness, made for this car. So then I took the passenger front door apart and started getting it ready for the new speakers and second skin. Will be weird for a bit, right now I will only have audio coming out of the driver front door until I get the amp hooked up. Found this after pulling the panel off. ewww. Made my ring adapters out of 3/4 MDF this time, had to grind a groove where the screw goes to hold the ring on since it is too long for the screws.

Maybe I can get my tail lights fixed now Does yours have a trailer hitch too? would be funny/annoying as fuck if they pulled a KOB job on yours too like they did mine LOL. I know advance auto parts sells the kit, idk if napa or anyone else does too.

Hopefully it does the job for you! Oh it's all repaired now, soldered and heat shrink ftw. If it goes bad again, I at least will know it's either the bulb or somewhere else in the wiring lol. Anywho...... PASSENGER FRONT DOOR IS DONE!!!! I'm just going to post the pics this time, don't think they need much explaining unless it was a shitty part.

Lbox88 Posted July 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2012 So I may have overestimated how much I was gonna get done tonight after realizing other things I had to do around the house tonight. Anyways, got all the power and ground wire cut, amps repositioned and mounted. Only grabbed a couple of pics, was trying to get as much done as possible.
