Special Equipment Options 15-5
The vehicle is equipped with wiring
provisions for a 12-volt battery
power supply. Refer to the following
information when adding electrical
accessories that will use the 12-volt
power supply feeds connected to
the vehicle's electrical system. The
wiring harness is located below the
instrument panel near the center of
the vehicle. The following
information describes the breaker
and relay location and provides a
wiring diagram to aid in connecting
customer equipment.
Electrical Connections
Notice:Before modifying or
adding any wiring, be sure that it
will work properly with your
vehicle's wiring system. Because
there are so many modifications
that can be made for many
different bodies and accessories,
GM cannot take responsibility for
any changes made. Such
changes may not be covered by
your GM Warranty. Have the work
done by an experienced electrical
technician. All wiring must be properly
protected by fuses, etc. and must
be routed properly so that it will
not be cut, pinched or rubbed by
other parts of the vehicle. Do not
route wiring in areas where it will
be very hot. Be sure not to
overload the vehicle's wiring,
connectors and components. All
added wire must be at least the
same size as the wire being
attached to for proper fuse
protection.
Installation Instructions
–12‐Volt
Accessory Power Supply
1. Disconnect the negative (−)
battery cable at the battery. The
negative (−) battery cable must
be disconnected before the
positive wiring lead is connected
to the power accessory.
2. Locate the power supply harnesses, one under the
instrument panel near the center
of the vehicle, and one within the
driver side rear cargo area jack
stowage compartment. 3. Prepare the wires that are to be
used to connect the power
accessory. Do not remove the
unused wires. Tape unused
wires back in their original
position under the instrument
panel.
4. Complete the wiring installation of the customer added
accessory with additional wire
required for the specific
electrical accessory power
connection. The wire gauge,
3.0 mm² (12 gauge), should be
the same as the wiring of the
installed harness.
5. The ignition must be turned to OFF prior to attaching the cables
to the battery, or serious damage
to the Body Control Module
(BCM) may result.
The windshield wiper switch and
the radio must be turned off
before attaching cables to the
battery.

Blunt cut ignition controlled power
and signal circuits are also included
in the wire coiled under the
instrument panel near the center of
the vehicle. They include:
.*A yellow, 0.5 mm² (20 gauge)
circuit, Hot in ACCESSORY,
RUN or RAP (Retained
Accessory Power).
.A pink, 0.5 mm² (20 gauge)
circuit, Hot in START and RUN.
(7A maximum load)
.*A yellow/black, 0.5 mm²
(20 gauge) transmission park
signal. This circuit provides
switched power when the
transmission is in P (Park) and
the engine is running. The circuit
is at 0 volts when the
transmission is in any other
position, i.e., R (Reverse),
N (Neutral), D (Drive) or
M (Manual). Note that the circuit
is also at 12 volts with the
transmission in P (Park) and the
ignition in LOCK/OFF. To avoid
the possibility of undesired
parasitic electrical load with the
ignition in LOCK/OFF it is
suggested that the Park/Signal
circuit be isolated by routing it
through the normally open
contact of a customer furnished
ignition controlled relay.
.A dark green/white, 0.5 mm²
(20 gauge) Vehicle Speed Signal
(VSS) provides 4,000 pulses
per mile.*These two circuits share a 15 amp
fuse. (10 amp combined
maximum load)
