GMC Canyon tail light wiring

Recommended Posts

My 2006 GMC Canyon truck is wired for a trailer. If a long wiring harness is plugged in to the trailer adapter at the tow hitch and than plugged in to the RV tow light adapter, will the truck tail light work?

In a word, NO. You would be BACKFEEDING the Canyon's electrical system.

If there is room in the tail light lenses, you can install an additional socket/light that is fed from the RV, OR

You can buy a "diode-based" adapter that would allow you to cut into the Canyon's tail light wiring (may void warranty) to use the present bulbs, OR

Use separate magnetic-base lights that are totally separate from your Canyon.

Thanks, Brett. I thought so, but I had to ask the question. I do have the harness kit that has the additional bulbs. I will install per the directions.
