Like the title says, I want to make(or buy ) a harness to plug in to my '93 Metro for use with a standard four pin trailer plug. Should be easy enough but I despise wiring so any help or ideas would be great. Guess I'll start by hunting down some factory connectors to hack up...

![]() Why would you need factory connectors... Want to make everything pluggable somewhere so you don't have to splice your factory harness? |

the metro electrical system is wierd, out of the norm for most automotive wiring. but they do make a trailer light adapter to 4 pin connector for the cars. my buddy chuckwagon used to work at uhaul and he got them in blister packs to fit the metro/ swift cars. $24.95, the kits came with crimp on wiring adapters and had electronic steering circuits to adapt trailer lighting to the tail light wiring. snowfish owns and operates a trailer business. he probably has them in stock.
