Maintenance

Periodic inspection of all wires and connections should be performed to ensure there is no visible damage or loose connections.
Step 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.
The vehicle battery is internal on this vehicle. the power source for the T-connectors power wire will connect at the fuse panel on the driver side under the hood. Step 2
Open the rear hatch and locate the taillight fastener covers. Use a panel trim removal tool to open the covers. Use a 10mm socket to remove the two bolts securing the taillight in place. remove the taillight by pulling straight back.
Locate the vehicle taillight wiring connectors. The connectors will be similar to those on your new custom wiring product. Separate the connectors from the taillight housing taking care not to damage the locking tabs. Repeat on the other side of the vehicle.

How to Fishier

A) Fish wire is a way to push or pull an electrical wire through a blind hole. Make sure the wire is long enough to stick out on the other side.
Insert the fish wire through the blind hole and locate it on the other side.
B) Use tape to secure the harness to the fish wire and pull back up.
The fish wire or harness may get hung up on something, if this happens you may have to push back down, wiggle it around or twist the wire to loosen it from what it’s hung up on.
Fish wire could be anything from a cut-up wire hanger, stiff wire, rope or string depending on what is needed for the installation. Step 3
Starting on the driver side, route a fish wire down between the rear opening of the bumper cover and body of the vehicle. Step 4
From under the vehicle bumper, attach the  harness connector with the yellow wire to the fish wire and pull the harness up to the taillight cavity. Attach the custom harness to the vehicle factory wiring and attach to the taillight. Set the taillight inside the taillight cavity and loosely secure with hardware. Step 5
Route the housing with the green wire above the bumper mount and along the bumper to the passenger side of the vehicle.
Zip tie as needed along the bumper. Route above the passenger-side bumper mount. Repeat step 3 and 4 to the housing with the green wire.

Step 6
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.
Caution
Check for miscellaneous items that may be hidden behind or under any surface before drilling to avoid damage and/or personal injury Step 7
Locate a flat spot on the vehicle. Adhere the black converter box using the provided double-sided tape and / or zip ties. Follow the instructions on the last page of this manual to connect power and test.
NOTICE
Once the custom harness is installed verify that the harness is functioning by attaching the 4-flat to any trailer with a functioning lights.
