I am trying to connect the wiring harness to a 2010 Subaru Outback wagon. The instructions enclosed are for a 2010 Subaru Forester. Where are the wiring connections located in the 2010 Subaru Outback wagon? Thank you.

On the 2010 Subaru Outback the wiring harness is sometimes hard to find. For some reason it gets routed differently and can be in the spare tire well, up along the back near the bottom of the rear seat or under the rear panel nearest the hatch.
I spoke to our installation technician and he said that he removes all of the panels and follows the vehicle wiring harness along until he comes across the connector. It is there you just have to search for it.
Our instructions are correct for most vehicles but some have the connector stored in an alternate location.
