Installation of a Trailer Wiring Harness on a 2007 Chevy HHR
Today we are going to install part number 118407 on our 2007 Chevy HHR. This install has everything kept on the inside of the vehicle. So we will open up the hatch and remove a few panels to get to it. The wiring cables we need to get to are behind this panel and also on the passenger side as well. We will also remove this carpet and paneling so that we can run the wires left and right. Also we must get to the spare tire cover. Then this panel that covers up the threshold you can simply pop off this panel and there is an identical one on the other side. Connecting the driver side first we will run the wires underneath the sheet metal and plastic. Pulling it up through the hole left by the paneling here. Then we can disconnect the wiring from the tail light and this T-Connector can fit. Then this end goes back onto the light socket. Then at the bottom here there is a ground stud we can use to attach our wire. Then we will take the other half of the harness and run it across the preexisting wiring harness and over past the battery. We will run the harness up and connect it to the tail light.
Now we will pull out or leader and even up the green wire with the rest of the wires and tape it off. Run the wire along the backside here then zip tie it to the wiring harness. Then we will go ahead and find a common point and take up our slack and bundle it up with a zip tie. Next we will replace the plastic on the threshold. Remember to make sure when you have plenty of working room. So you can store it above the spare tire cover and when you need it you can just pull it out. On this vehicle there is a nice little gap here you can pull the wire through it does take a little slack but if you got room it makes it nice. If you do not have enough room you can store it under the plastic back over here too. One other thing to remember when using it, is when you shut the hatch just keep the cord away from the latch and you will be safe and ready to go. That covers it for our install of part number 118407 from Tow Ready. Installed on our 2007 Chevy HHR.
