Today on this 2006 Dodge Charger, we will be installing wiring harness part number 118404. We are in the trunk area of the Charger here and we want to go ahead and locate the port for our wiring harness. The ports are located directly behind the tail light assemblies here inside the trunk compartment. So we need to go ahead and remove the interior carpeting here to gain access to those. To do that we just need to remove the screw here on both sides of the vehicle and we just pull that back. You see once we do that, right in the back of the tail light assembly is our connection point. As you see there is a red tab here at the top. We want to push that over and then there is also a button here at the top we push that in and disconnect the two like so. 00:41 more

Today on this 2009 Dodge Caliber. We will be installing wiring harness part number 118446. We are here at the rear of the vehicle and the connection points for our wiring harness are going to be located directly behind the tail light assemblies on both the drivers and passengers sides. The first thing we need to do is go ahead and remove those from the vehicle. To do that, you will see here on the in board side of the tail light you have got two push pins. We want to go ahead and release those first. We can do that by just using a flat bladed screwdriver here. Getting inside the corner of the section here and we will just kind of work that back and forth until we get the push pin to release here. And then we will just want to gently rock back and forth to release the out board clips that are inside there. This larger port is the one that we are going to be using for our T connector here. Start by releasing the red clip here at the top. more

These little red blocks are what you want to undo first. more

Today we are going to be installing wiring harness part number 118376 on a 2001 Dodge Grand Caravan. Okay, taking a look at the wiring harness here, you can see we have got a T-connector here. That is going to be plugging in behind the tail light assembly on the drivers side. We have also got a ring terminal here, next to this white wire that is our ground wire. We are going to be using a self-tapping screw that is provided in the installation kit. In the middle, we have got the black converter box, and on the other side of it is double-sided tape. That will allow us to adhere it to a surface inside to keep it up and out of the way. Here at the other end we have got the actual 4-pole that can be the connection point for your trailer. more

Today we are going to install part number 118329 from Tow Ready, and we are going to install this T-1 Connector on a 2000 Dodge Dakota pickup. Now this T-connector will go to two sides of the vehicle. The green wire will go to the passengers side, and the yellow wire will go to the drivers side. This T-connector actually will fit between a connection that is already in the wire harness. It unsnaps, and then this part goes in one and the other half goes into the other. And then the wire comes up from the middle, which makes it a T. more

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. more

Today we are going to install part number 37185 on an 2006 Dodge Ram 1500. And this has the factory 4-pole installed with the vehicle, from the factory. What we are going to do is upgrade this up from a 4-pole to a 7-pole and 4-pole combination. And we are going to start by using this factory cut-out here for the 7-pole itself. It is actually just a cover. It just pops off, and we can install our 7-pole adapter right there. Before we install this into the bumper, we have to do one little modification, because the bumper is just a little bit too small. Basically we are just going to grind the little edge off here, just about 1 inch on the passenger side - just enough to help it pop into place, right here. Go ahead and install it. There it is, just enough room to snap into place. Then we will put our four bolts in to hold it secure. more

Today we are going to install part number 118172 from Draw-Tite, and we are going to install this on a 1991 Dodge Dynasty. To begin our install, we have to get behind the wiring harness. It is going to be behind the carpet here and here. We are just going to pull away this carpet a little bit and get to the back here. And this is the wiring harness right here, and you can tell it comes from the front to the rear and splits off to the left and the right sides. We have already kind of cut into it so we could see where the wiring was at. And these are our wires. We will go ahead and use our tester and prove which wire does what for what function. more

Today we are going to install part number 118446 from Tow Ready on our 2008 Dodge Grand Caravan. First what we need to do to start is get behind the tail lights. So we will have to open up the trunk and take out 2 screws on each side to undo the tail lights. There are 2 torque screws that have to come out and you just simply pry off the light. You will see 2 tabs, just pull straight out from there. For now we will just go ahead and let the light sit there so we will have to make our T1 connector right here. Again it is the same thing for the other side. To begin our install, we will take our 4 pole and our converter box and stick it behind the bumper. And it will come out below the bumper. Also the wires going to the passenger side will go down there too. These will eventually get run down underneath the bumper to the other side. Just to make sure we have the socket to hook up take a look at the outside. Obviously this is going to be your reverse light. And your turning signal and running lights and brake lights are going to be this bulb. So you are going to want to take this socket and this bulb apart. You have to unlock it and it should come apart just like so. Then you reinstall the T-1 connector in the same spot. Then take the other 2 halves you have left over and connect those together. Make sure you put the red locks back into place. more

First were going to install the wiring harness which its a simple four pole flat, which is going to plug into this harness here. Well bypass the factory tow package here and it will just plug into that and well show you how it works. It would be a good reason maybe to bypass the tow package because this will all be one sealed unit when were done and then you dont have to worry about individual splices coming undone in the future if you splice them to the harness. more

Today we are going to install a T-One wiring harness on a 2004 Dodge Grand Caravan. First step involved is removing the tail light assemblies, so we will open the hatch and get started on that. Next step we have to do is pull out the grommet and put a slit into it, this is done so that we can run our new wires coming that are coming out of that grommet out through to tail light and back to the wire harness. Now its the time to go ahead and open the jack storage door, and we will run our wires towards there. We will also need to get behind this trim panel, to get that freed up we will have to take out the threshold. The threshold will be this part here, then we can pull this part out. Opening up that plastic trim panel will give us room to stick our hand in there and help thread the wiring to the jack storage area. more

Today, we are going to show you part number 37185 which is an adapter goes from a 4 pole up to a 7 pole and additional 4 pole on the side. What we have here is a Dodge 4X4 Durango. It does not matter what vehicle you are working with as long as you start off with a basic 4 pole flat that is already installed, then you can upgrade from there. A multi-tow adapter does come with its own bracket to mount up with if you do not have an existing bracket, as in our application here, the hitch itself does supply the bracket. For comparison sake, this is the one that comes with the part number, 37189, but we are not going to use this today. We are going to use the factory bracket. I will show you how it mounts up we will mock it up there, and show you what is going on. That will essentially be are finished product when we are done. more

Along with your custom receiver hitch for the Dodge Charger you will also need a wiring connector when pulling a trailer. We offer a custom wiring harness that requires no cutting or splicing and will provide a flat four pole connector. This will power the trailers running lights, brake lights and turn signals allowing you to safely and legally tow your toys, boat and trailer. You may also want this to power lights on a cargo trailer or to use a light up receiver hitch cover. more

Today we are going to install part number 37185 on our 2006 Dodge full size pickup 1500 with the 4 pole wiring flat installed from the factory. To begin our install the bumper already has a knockout ready for a 7 pole trailer connector. All I have to do is pop off this cover and it is ready to go. Next we can go ahead and install our 7 pole. Basically you just plug it right in and then give it a little push so it snaps into place. Now we can go ahead and install our hardware. We can now move under the vehicle to make some of our final connections here. In this application we are just going to install the 4 pole. There is not a brake controller or hot lead being used so we will bind this all back up and tuck it out of the way. We will go ahead and install some dielectric grease in here then install them together. more
