Installation of a Wiring Harness on a 2006 Dodge Stratus
Today we are going to be installing wiring harness part number 46155 from Hoppy on a 2006 Dodge Stratus. OK, we are inside the trunk area, and we are going to go ahead and locate the wiring on the Stratus that we are going to need to tap into with the converter kit. As you can see, we have got some interior covering that is actually covering up the wiring that we are going to need to locate. So the first thing we want to do is remove this rear threshold piece here. There are a few pop rivets that we are going to need to remove. And then, with removing those, we can pull that back and gain access to the wires here on the drivers side. As you can see, the main lead feeding to the passengers side is right here. We can tap into the right-turn signal from this location. The converter that we are going to be using as you can see has five wires to it. We have got the white, which is a ground. We have got a brown, which is the running light lead a yellow, which is the left turn the green, which is the right turn and the red, which is the stop lead. We are going to need to locate each individual function here on the wiring harness and manually attach these wires directly into them.
OK, the first thing I am going to do is to go ahead and attach the ground wire to the body panel here. That is going to give me a suitable grounding point so I can test my functions. And you can see the kit also comes with a tester. And what we do is we take this alligator clip and we will clip that directly to the ground, like so. And then we can take the pointed end and probe each individual wire until we find the wire that we are looking for. I am actually going to go ahead and use my own personal tester here. And the first thing I am going to look for is the left-turn signal and it looks to be the solid green wire here. And what we are going to is we are going to take the Scotch locks, which again are provided in the installation kit, and we want to go ahead and open those up. As you can see it just clips here. What you do is just simply unclip that side there and that will allow you to put the Scotch lock over the existing wire.
And then we are going to take the yellow wire, which again is the left-turn function, slide it through the other side until it hits the stop that is in there. Then we are going to take a pair of pliers and crimp that down, that little metal tab there, and that is going to make our connection for us. After that you simply press the cover over the top and our connection is made. We are going to use that same type of connector for each of the functions that we are going to be testing for. Next we are going to be testing for the running light lead, and that is going to be the black wire with the yellow stripe on it. And then we are going to test for the brake lead, which is going to be the white wire with the tan stripe. And then lastly, the right-turn function, and that is going to be the tan wire here. We are going to go ahead and make our connections for each one of those functions as well.
All right, now that we have got our connections made, we can go ahead and tape them up. Then we want to go ahead and take the 4-pole loop that comes with the kit as well, and we are just going to plug that directly into the converter box here. And then we go ahead and add a small amount of dielectric grease that is also provided with the kit, as well. We apply it to our connection points, and that will prevent corrosion. Add our 4-pole cover here onto the end. And then we just want to secure any loose wires that we have, put our covering back on, and then our installation will be complete. And this will conclude the installation of wiring harness part number 46155 on a 2006 Dodge Stratus.

In these days of customer "no service" I am usually disapointed when doing business with people I don't know. It was refreshing doing business with you. I'm impressed!
