Video Transcript for Trailer Wiring Harness Installation - 2003 Ford Focus

Today on our 2003 Ford Focus Wagon well be installing Draw-Tite wiring harness part #: 18252. Now to begin well simply open the rear cargo door and remove the two taillight assemblies. To do this well unscrew the two Phillips head screws and push the taillight assembly out towards the side. We can then unplug the lights and set them off to the side to keep from damaging them. Well use a piece of airline as a fish tape where well fish it down through the taillight hole behind the bumper and down through the bottom. With that done well go ahead and take our four pole harness and well peel the green wire off of the harness so that it can be routed over to the right taillight.

With the green wire removed we can then attach the white wire, the brown wire and the yellow wire to the air tube and draw it back up. With that done well need to locate the wires for the proper signals with somebody in the front will have them turn the left turn signal on and using the probe included with the kit well locate our left turn signal and youll see here it is, the blue wire on our factory harness. We can then locate our taillight signal on our factory harness which is the orange wire here. Now, for our right turn signal it is the blue wire with the red tracer. Were now ready to make our connections.

Well now take our quick connectors also included with the kit, well place one of the connectors over the blue wire which is our turn signal brake signal and well take the yellow wire from our four pole harness and place it into the connector where we can then clamp it down using a pair of pliers. Well then close the lid and go ahead and tape it up with some electrical tape. Well now go ahead and make the connection for the taillights using the same procedure as we did with our left turn signal. And again, well go ahead and tape them up with electrical tape. Well now need to make our ground.

Well use the white wire and strip the insulation back, well attach and ringed eyelet. Well go ahead and make our ground connection here on the body of the vehicle right behind the taillight housing. With that all done well go ahead and reinstall our left taillight assembly. Now were underneath the vehicle and well need to rout our harness towards the passenger side. You want to make sure you stay away from any hot components such as your exhaust or moving components such as your suspension while routing it over.

Now, when weve reached the middle of the vehicle well go ahead and leave our four pole harness hanging there and continue with the green wire over to the passenger side. Now here on the passenger side well use the quick connector to make our connection here at the blue wire with the red tracer. And with that connection made we can go ahead and reinstall our right taillight assembly. Now well go ahead and secure our harness up to the vehicle to ensure it doesnt hang down. And with that our installation is complete and thatll do it for part #: 18252 from Draw-Tite on our 2003 Ford Focus Wagon.

Recommended Receiver Hitch and Trailer Wiring Harness for 2007 Ford E350 Van
The highest rated hitch available for your 2007 E350 would have a 10000 lb towing capacity. With the use of a weight distribution system, the capacity can be increased to 12000 lbs.

Recommended Trailer Hitch and Wiring for a 1999 Mercury Mystique
For your 1999 Mercury Mystique, I would recommend the Hidden Hitch Class I Receiver, part # 60979. The draw bar is included with the hitch, as well as the installation hardware. I will provide a link below to the installation instructions. You will need the appropriate trailer ball, if you do not already have one. The coupler on your trailer should have the necessary ball size stamped on it, which should be either 1-7/8 or 2 inch. For a 1-7/8 inch ball I would recommend part # 19256, for

Recommended 4-Way Flat Wiring for a 1995 Toyota Pickup
Yes, a tail light converter would be required to wire your 1995 Toyota pickup for towing. We offer custom-fit T-connector # 118379, which would plug right into your factory connectors behind the vehicle tail lights. I would recommend that you double check the trailer plug, however, as it is common that boat trailers use a 5-Way plug, due to being equipped with hydraulic brakes. If this is the case, you would also need a 4 to 5-Way adapter for your pickup, like part # 20036. The adapter wou

Trailer Lights Go Out When I Apply Brakes on Tow Vehicle 2002 Toyota Tundra
It sounds like there is a bad ground connection somewhere on the trailer because your lights are working when they are not put under a load. Whenever your tail lights are on and then you apply the brakes, the system is under max amp load, and with a bad ground the lights cannot support all the amps. I would start by checking the ground connections of the tail lights on the trailer to make sure there is a good connection to a clean metal surface. You will also want to inspect the wires to make su

Brake and Turn Lights Not Working when Trailer is Plugged into the 4-Way on a 2009 Saturn Sky
I would not recommend to replace any of the relays on the 2009 Saturn Sky. If you are having a wiring problem and the relay is activating, it is doing that to protect your vehicles wiring system. You do not want to change the relay and allow more current to get to your wiring system, which could cause major damage. The relay is doing what it was designed for. It sounds like it is a ground issue with the wiring on your vehicle. You will want to make sure that the white (ground) wire is attache

Running Lights Not Working After Converting 7-Way to 4-Way on a 1991 Ford Bronco
So if I understand correctly, the 1991 Ford Bronco you have has a 4-Way flat trailer connector. It used to have a 7-Way and you are trying to use the wires from the 7-Way to connect to the 4-Way connector. In order to find the correct wire for the running lights, use a circuit tester, like # 3808. Have someone sit in the vehicle and operate the lights while you test the wires. The one that carries a constant signal when the lights are on is the running light circuit. On a 4-Way, the exposed p

Trailer Lights Work When Towed By Tahoe But Not When Towed By Ford Truck
Although it would seem that you have eliminated the trailer wiring as being the problem, taking a quick look at the trailer wiring would be a good first step. Start at the trailer connector, and work your way back the trailer until you reach the lamps. Look for pinched wires or wires with cracked or worn insulation that would allow a short to ground. You might have a minor short that is not affecting the Tahoe, but is causing problems with the Ford. Examine the lamps themselves for rusted bulb s
