Hey Andy,
I've attached two of Ryan's installation videos below where he'll walk you through running the power wire to the battery whether it's located in the rear cargo area or in the engine compartment. The video for the Curt # C56434 will show you the way if your battery is in the rear and the Tekonsha # 118801 will show you if it's in the engine compartment. If you have any other questions or need any other parts to complete your towing setup just let me know in the comments below.
