Today on this 2003 Saturn Vue we will be installing the converter part number 119130. The harness we are going to be installing is a hard wire harness. We are going to need to access the wires behind the tail light assembly in order to hard wire it in. To gain access to those we actually need to take the tail lights themselves off. To do that we have two screws here on the inboard side that we need to remove. That should allow us to get our tail light off. :24
With the tail light removed you can see we have the wires here that we are going to need to connect to. I am going to cut back the tape a little bit. With our wires pulled out here we can go ahead and start testing our functions. Over here on the driver side, on the harness what we need to test for is the brake light, left turn, and the running lights. :56
I am going to start by testing for the left turn function here, that appears to be the yellow wire. Next we will test for the running light function, that appears to be the brown wire. And last we are going to test for the brakes, which appears to be the blue wire. We can take our harness now and go ahead and make the connections to those wires. To make our connections we are going to be using quick splices, the bundle of wires we are looking at for the drivers side. I've got the red that is going to be connecting to the blue wire which is our brake feed. The yellow wire will connect to the yellow wire as our left turn signal. The brown will be connecting to the brown for our running lights. We also have a white wire here with a ring terminal on it, that is our ground wire. We need to find a substantial metal point here to actually take a self tapping screw and ground it. Next we are going to take the four pole end of our converter as well as the green wire and feed those through the opening here in between the body and the bumper. And then finally, I am going to take the converter box here, you can see on the backside we have some double sided tape, and adhere that right in between the opening here and adhere it to the inside of the body structure. We want to tape up our connections and put our tail light assembly back on and go underneath the vehicle where we can continue routing our wires. 2:27
Now that we are underneath the vehicle we can route the wires across. You can see we have straps holding the fascia to the bottom of the bumper here. that is going to provide a good point to route the wires behind. That should help them from getting pinched as well as avoiding our hot point like our exhaust right here. The four pole I am just going to stop here at the center of the vehicle, we can tie that off and the green wire we can continue routing across. What we are going to run into is that our green wire is not quiet long enough to reach all the way up to our passenger side tail light so we are going to need to extend this wire. Now we will go to our passenger side tail light where we will test for our left turn wire. Through testing we found it is the dark green wire here, which is our right turn signal, the same color we are using here. I am going to shorten the length of our wire and make the connection. Go ahead and tape that up as well and reinstall our tail light. You might want to take an extra look below and make sure you do not have any extra wires hanging down loose. Then our installation will be complete. This will conclude the installation of wiring harness part number 119130 on this 2003 Saturn Vue.

Now we will go up to the passenger-side tail light and test for our right turn wire. Through testing we found it is actually the dark green wire here which is our right-turn signal, the same color that we are using here. And I am going to just shorten the length of my wire and make our connection. All right go ahead and tape that up as well. And we will just go ahead and put our tail light back on.
