help with 1993 chevy lumina sedan, trailer wiring , whats needed

Aug 25, 2010 2 Replies

Hello, I am in a bit of confusion. I have had a type 1 hitch mounted so I can tow a light trailer for snow thrower or lawn tractor and the mechanic mounting it could not do the wiring.



I contacted three parts stores for a wiring kit and was told



  1. there isnt one for that car
  2. a 4 wire flat cable with connectors for .95
  3. A wiring kit for .95 is needed.

Dies anyone know what this car needs ?. I dont want to blow up the electrical by using the wrong one.



It is a 1993 lumina 4 door with 3.1 6 cyl engine



As I understand it , its an issue of seperate brake/ turn signal bulbs or a common bulb.



thanks



I dont believe you had a mechanic on the job. WalMart?

Seriously, if you dont have the skills to dig into this, find a competent mechanic, and I am sure he can do this. It is not so very complicated.

Sometimes you can find the complete kits at auto parts stores, but I dont know about the Lumina

You may have to tap into the tail light & brake lights on each side, and wire the rest accordingly.
