Today on this 2001 Pontiac Montana, we're going to install part number 118355 from Tow Ready. First thing we need to do is pop up the back hatch, and remove the threshold at the bottom. Then we need to get the access behind the interior panel on the driver's side. Okay now, this is the location of the connection point right here. Now depending on the vehicle, some models have an open port that our T-connector will plug into, just one side and that's it. However, in this model the port is connected together, so disconnect it and install our T-connector.
Now this one is actually fairly easy to see. If you don't see it at the back, look towards the bottom inside the corner. It is very hard to see, but it is stuffed in there at times, depending on the model and the configuration of the interior. Okay, with our connection point made, we'll go ahead and hide the converter box on the inside and the sheet metal on the corner. Then we'll go ahead and take the white wire.
Then we'll ground that to the sheet metal, underneath the threshold. Okay, with those steps done, we can go ahead and reinstall the interior components. Now our wires will stay on the inside the vehicle when it is not being used, and when we do need to use it, simply pull it out, and shut the hatch on it. The weather seal will be thick enough so it won't hurt anything, just make sure you will stay away from the latch. That does it for part number 118355 from Tow Ready, on our 2001 Pontiac Montana..
