2000 GMC Jimmy tow wiring?

[Brenda P]

Hello, I have a 2000 GMC Jimmy that came with a rear hitch and tow haul button for towing. I doesn't have a plug connector on it. I need to install a brake controller and plug connector. I bought the 6-pole connector kit but I don't know what to buy other than the controller. If it came with the tow package shouldn't the wiring already be there? Thank you
Brenda

The wiring harness is most of the time tucked in under the spare tire if it has never been used. Also note that the biggest secret on keeping you transmission running at 100% is to replace the boost valve every time you service the transmission every 45,000 miles, boost valve is only $15.00 and takes no more then 10 extra minute to replace when the transmission oil filter is being replaced. keep me posted if your still having a hard time locating the harness.
