INSTALLATION / SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
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.
Step 2
Locate the breakout on the RV harness labeled “For trailer use only: converter
required”.
Step 3
Identify the protective dust cover from the RV-harness add-on breakout (A).
Step 4
Press down on the female 4-way connector and pull outward to separate from the
RV-harness (B). Inspect the connectors for dirt and debris and clean if
necessary.
Step 5
Plug the mating connector on the converter harness into the RV-harness from
Step 3.
Step 6
Locate a suitable grounding point near the connector such as an existing screw
with the nut in the vehicle frame or drill a 3/32″ pilot hole for the provided
screw. If possible, use the existing hole drilled for the RV-harness ground
wire. The area should be free of rust, dirt, and paint. Secure the white
ground wire using the ring terminal and provided screw.
**WARNING: Check for miscellaneous items that may be hidden behind or
under any surface before drilling to avoid damage and/or personal injury.
Step 7
If the harness is mounted in the interior of a hatch or trunk, route the
4-flat through the hatch or trunk far enough away so the harness does not
pinch in the locking mechanism. When not in use roll up and place in the trunk
or hatch. If the harness is mounted on the exterior, route the 4-flat near the
vehicle hitch and secure to the vehicle or hitch. Secure any loose wire with
the provided cable ties
Step 8
Route the black power wire from the vehicle battery as shown on the provided
‘Powered Converter Lead Instruction Sheet’.
Step 9
With the 4-flat extension plugged into the RV harness on one end and the RV on
the other, perform a function test. These functions will only work on the
brake/taillight combination lamp. When not in use store the 4-flat extension
inside the vehicle. 4-flat harness color codes: White – Ground Green – Right
Turn / Brake Brown – Taillights Yellow – Left Turn / Brake
Step 10
Locate a suitable position to mount the converter box. Clean the surface prior
to mounting. Remove the paper from the back of the double-sided tape and press
it against the surface.
Step 11**
Secure any loose wires behind the taillights with the provided cable ties.
Reinstall all items removed during installation. Install the provided 4-flat
dust cover to help prevent corrosion.
