Mystery red wire gets power to pin 4
Our 1st PUP did not have a battery so I never knew that the wiring harness was not supplying 12V for 10 years. Our 2014 Viking cws 10 PUP has a lot more electrical appliances. I realized that the fridge was not running on 12V while being towed. Recently I posted the problem on this forum. I received lots of advice and a schematic for the standard 7 blade RV jack. I learned that pin 4 was the one supposed to supply 12V to the trailer. I tested that pin with my voltmeter; no juice. Further research on the Google led me to the TrailVoy forums. There I learned that on 2003-2009 Trailblazer, Envoy and Isuzu Ascender that fuse 32, a cartridge type fuse of 30A was labeled TRLR. There is a loose red wire near the fuse box with a terminal ring which can be attached to a post on the front of the fuse box; this will supply 12V through the 30A fuse to the trailer to charge the battery and operate the fridge. So, get out your meter and check voltage from pin 4 to ground. If you TV is one of the 3 mentioned, that wire will get you power. Otherwise, call your auto dealer and ask the shop how to get 12V+ on pin4.
