    Does anyone know what the wires on the back of the 2018 Tow Haul switch are? I am going to change my switch and I need to know which wires to connect to the new switch.
    Here is a picture of the new wiring/plug.

    @NewImprovedRon figured you are the guy with the answer. ;)

    THANKS IN ADVANCE

    I’ve got EWD for a 2015 on my computer... I can pull it up later tonight if you don’t get an answer earlier

    OK - on the 2015 EWD (I wouldn't expect 2018 to be much different except specifically concerning the added sensors for adaptive cruise, etc.):

    Connector is J23
    upload_2020-12-11_21-19-13.jpg

    From the Engine Control and Transmission EWD:
    Pin 1 is ground (white wire, black stripe)
    Pin 4 is power from Engine Control Module (tan/brown wire)
    upload_2020-12-11_21-21-10.jpg

    From the Illumination and Taillight EWD:
    Pin 2 is Illumination (-) (red wire), which eventually feeds back to the combination meter (gage cluster).
    Pin 3 is Illumination (+) (green wire), which sources from the tail light relay and 7.5A "Panel" fuse
    upload_2020-12-11_21-24-19.jpg
    So near as I can tell, Pin 5 should be empty.

    Full PDFs of each are attached if you want to dig deeper.

    Why are you changing the switch? Putting in a supercharged switch?

    I've searched to no avail. Is there a way to add tow/haul?
    I have an sr which did not come with tow haul switch. Has anyone done this?
