INSTALLATION STEPS

1. Locate the vehicle battery and disconnect the negative battery terminal. Be sure to fasten this wire down and away from the battery while completing the installation process.

2. Open the rear hatch. Remove all floor coverings and storage trays.

3. Remove the fasteners securing each side of the rear scuff panel. Remove the scuff panel by pulling out on the bottom and then up. Take care not to damage the alignment tabs on the back.

4. Starting on the driver side, remove the push fasteners and cargo tie down located at the rear of interior side trim panel. Remove the Phillips screw from the rear seat release.

5. Remove the Phillips screw located at the front upper side of the interior side trim panel.

6. Remove the cargo tie down located at the front lower end of the interior side trim panel. Using a panel trim removal tool, remove the interior side trim panel. Take care not to damage any alignment tabs on the back side of the panel.

7. Behind the side trim panel, locate the vehicle taillight wiring harness connectors. The connectors will be similar to those on the custom wiring harness. Separate the connectors from the taillight housing taking care not to damage the locking tabs.

8. Insert the custom wiring harness end with yellow wire between the separated connectors. Make sure the connectors are fully inserted with locking tabs in place.

9. Route the green wire over to down behind the interior side panel and out to the passenger side behind the removed scuff panel. Zip tie as needed along the rear bumper. Repeat step 4 through 8 as needed on the passenger side using the green wire. Locate a flat clean surface that is out of the path of spray and debris from the rear wheels and road. Adhere the black converter box using the provided double-sided tape.

10. On the driver side, locate a grounding point such as an existing screw or bolt in the frame of the vehicle or drill a 3/32″pilot hole. The area should be free from rust, dirt, and paint (abrasive pad/paper to remove rust and paint). Secure the white ground wire with the ring terminal on the existing fastener or with the provided ground screw.
