Auto Parts: wiring for tow trailer, pep boys, repair vehicles

Question
have 2002 chevy ventura mini-van and want to trailer motorcycles.  can't find where to access wiring in the van!  there are two access panels inside the van, almost to the hatch door, one on left has a cigarette lighter type plug and the other side has the jack.  can't see anything under the hitch area outside the van either.  help!  i have the wires, no instructions, but, i'm willing to purchase new if necessary.

Answer
Hi Cathy,

You are looking in the correct places, just not digging deep enough. You'll need to access your harness through the right-rear inner trim panel, probably the same one that houses the accessory power-port. You may have to remove the entire panel to access the harness.

Looking for a reputable service technician? My advice on finding a good technician is: Steer clear of the dealership and 'chain' stores like Firestone, Sears, Pep Boys, Monro Muffler/Brake, Midas, etc. as they usually only employ ONE ASE Certified Tech just so they can say they do and chances are, that guy is the asst. manager or manager and is not in the store to diagnose/repair vehicles anyway. Find a service location in the link below or get some names out of the yellow-pages and do a drive-by. Garages that employ ASE Certified Technicians will be marked with the 'Blue-Seal' insignia. If unsure about whether a place employs Certified Techs, just ask to see their credentials. ALL ASE Certified Technicians will be PROUD to show and display their certificate(s).

Thanks for the question, I hope this information was helpful to you.
