🛠️ What did you do in your GX today? (2 Viewers)

There's a 40A fuse (SUB-BATT) that directly feeds to trailer socket pin 5. The 30A TOWING fuse appears primarily used for the trailer brake system .

So if I use the 7 pin connector that is connected to the air compressor(my compressor draws 30A), can I just plug that into the 7 pin trailer outlet on the back of the GX and I'm good to go?

I assume so as long as you use pin 5 from my diagram. You'll find out if it blows a fuse when you run the compressor.

Guess I'm not following. If I plug in a 7 pin connector how would I specifically only use pin 5?

You would run two wires (red and black) from your compressor to a new 7-pin plug. The red wire goes to mating pin 5 (power) in your plug and the black wire goes to mating pin 3 (ground).

Now that makes sense - I assumed that everything was 'pre terminated,' if I can adjust all the better. I have not even taken the connector out of the package - just too much going on - but will in couple weeks.
