Today we are going to install part number 118431 from Tow Ready, and we are going to install this T-1 connector on a 2010 Kia Soul. First thing is, our connection points will be right behind the tail lights here. What we will do is take off each tail light, find our connection point behind that, run the wires down and then come out by the hitch. And then for the ones going to the other tail light, we will just keep going back up and to the other tail light to the passengers side. more

First we will show you where the connection points are on the vehicle itself. The connection point is behind this plastic up in this body cavity here. Sometimes the connector is in plain view sometimes it is kind of off to the side, kind of more inside to the center of the vehicle. So sometimes you do have to dig for it, but it is in there. more

Wiring Harness Installation - 2009 Nissan Rogue - Video

Today we are going to be installing wiring harness part number 118480 on a 2009 Nissan Rogue. We have opened up the rear hatch of the vehicle and we are going to go ahead and point out where we need to locate the connection points for our wiring harness. The connection points are actually located behind the tail light assemblies, on the inside of the vehicle, behind these panels, on both sides of the vehicle. To gain access to those, we are going to need to remove quite a few items here from the rear end of the vehicle. To release these screws here, you actually want to align the arrows. There is an arrow here on the inboard side, along with the arrow on the knob. If you align those two, it will allow these two clips to release. There are also three screws here that are holding this compartment in that we are going to need to remove as well. more

Wiring Harness Installation - 1999 Ford Crown Victoria - Video

Today we are going to be installing tail light converter part number 119175 on a 1999 Ford Crown Victoria. OK, we are inside the trunk of the vehicle, and to locate the wires that we are going to need to tap into for the harness, we are going to need to remove a few pieces from the trunk area. We need to remove this rear threshold piece, and then we will need to pull back the carpeting as well, that is right behind the tail light assembly. The threshold piece has four clips that we are going to need to remove that will allow us to pull it off. And the carpeting has one screw holding it on. So we are going to go ahead and remove those first. And we should be able to gain access to all the wires necessary over here on the drivers side. You can see the main lead going over to the passengers side is right here. OK, now that we have got the carpeting pulled back, you can see we have got the main wiring harness here feeding the drivers side tail light assembly, and we have got the harness that is coming across for the the passengers side assembly. more

Wiring Harness Installation - 2001 Subaru Forester - Video

Today we are going to install part number 118461 from Tow Ready, and we are going to install this part on a 2001 Subaru Forester. The connection points are inside the vehicle, in the rear, so we have to get inside the rear hatch and start pulling up the floor panels. Our connection point happens to be right here, underneath the threshold on the passengers side. You just pull it out. It has got the blue tape on it. And our T-connector will simply just snap in place, like so. And all that remains is to go ahead and attach the Modulite to the back of the sheet metal here. You can put it just any place you want but it seems pretty convenient and out of the way right here. And we can zip-tie our wires to the existing wire package here, and they will be safe and out of the way. Now we did not really have to take out the spare tire, but it gives you a better idea of what is going on. more

All right, the Sorento already has a port installed from the factory, so it is a simple matter of plugging the T-1 harness into this port right here. So you push down this button on top, and then take a screwdriver to catch the edge of it. It helps kind of get it started where you can pull it out. more

Wiring Harness Installation - 2003 Mitsubishi Montero Sport - Video

Today we are going to install part number 119175, the protected tail light converter, and we are going to install this on a 2003 Mitsubishi Montero Sport. We are going to tap in behind the tail lights. I am going to take this off, and then we are going to run a wire on the outside here, underneath the bumper cover. And this is where the converter box will hide, underneath here. All right, the next thing we are going to do is pull this bumper cover away from it. We are just going to use a simple brake tool and just work our way behind it, just enough where you can run a fish wire through there and out the bottom. more

Wiring Harness Installation - 2005 Honda Odyssey - Video

Today we are going to install part number 118438 from Tow Ready, and we are going to install this on a 2005 Honda Odyssey. All right, this is the plug that will go into the factory plug behind the plastic here, and we also have the ground for our unit, which will get grounded on the inside on sheet metal. So first we will take this off. All right, we are going to take off these tie-down points here we have one on each side. There are some buttons underneath here, too, so we are going to loosen those first. There you go - it just pops right up. Now you can see where we have got to take this off so we can pop this loose and out. We will take off the jack storage compartment door and then just easily pull it off on the side. Some are harder than others. And it will also help to take off this little tie-down point, too. You may have to put a tool back here to work it out. All right, once you have the threshold panel taken off, you can see why this has to come loose - now you can see why you have to take the threshold off, because this overlaps it. What is going to happen is that this is going to get pulled out just enough to run the harness in here, because the harness is going to be stored inside the jack storage compartment. The connection point is going to be on the passengers side of the vehicle behind this plastic here. It kind of helps to take this tie-down point off and pull it away. But there is a fuse box back behind the plastic we have to plug our harness into. more

Today we are going to be installing wiring harness part number 119175 on a 2000 Volkswagen Jetta. OK, we are in the trunk now, and we are going to go ahead and locate the wires that we are going to be tapping into for the wiring harness. I went ahead and removed the bottom carpeting pieces to give me a little bit more room to work. Over here on the drivers side, you can see if I remove this little lid for this compartment here and pull back this piece here, that will give us access to the wires here on the drivers side. We can access 4 of the 5 wires right over here. We are going to need to run a lead over to the passengers side tail light assembly to make our connection there. We need to go ahead and figure out which wire goes with which function we are looking for. It appears to be the green wire with the yellow stripe is the left-turn signal. Next, I am going to test for the running-light function, and that wire appears to be the green one with the white stripe. Next, we are going to go ahead and test for the brakes. OK, and that appears to be just the solid green wire. more
