Today on this 2010 Subaru Forester we are going to be installing wiring harness part number 118467. We are in the rear cargo area of the Forester and we want to locate the port that we are going to be plugging our wiring harness into. This port is located underneath the cargo floor over on the driver side of the vehicle. We are going to need to remove a few pieces before we can get started. We obviously need to remove the covering not only in the center section but on the driver side as well. Then we need to remove the styrofoam storage bin on both the center and driver side sections as well. For the driver side compartment there is actually two push pins that are holding it into position. 00:29
If you pull that out of the way, attached to this wiring harness is our plug in that we are going to be attaching our wiring harness into. What we can do is next take our wiring harness and plug it in line and make sure your 10 amp fuse is in place. We next take the modulite box and you can see we have got double sided tape on the back of it. We want to adhere that to the inside of the vehicle. If you actually follow back here behind the interior panel there is a off there and that is a good spot to mount our modulite box. It is a good idea to clean that area off before you attempt to adhere the box to the vehicle. 01:01
The 4-pole end of the harness is intended to stay inside the vehicle when not in use. So we are actually going to feed it out the side area which will be in between the interior panel and the styrofoam compartment once we get everything reinstalled. Just set that off to the side here. I am going to take the provided zip ties that are included with our kit and tie all of our loose wires to this main harness. Next we can start reinstalling our interior. You can see with our interior reinstalled our harness sits nicely over to the side. When we want to use it again we just want to pull it out the rear cargo door of the vehicle. You can close the cargo door on it and not have to worry about it being pinched. The weather stripping will prevent that from happening. This will conclude the installation of wiring harness part number 118467.
