- Ensure the area is clear and accessible before proceeding.
Step 2: Disconnect the Battery
- Locate the vehicle battery under the hood on the driver side.

- Lift upwards to remove it completely. Take care not to damage any alignment tabs during this process.
Step 5: Remove the Side Trim Panel (Driver Side)
- Locate and remove the push fasteners that hold the side trim panel in place.
- Carefully pull back on the panel to expose the taillight wiring harness connectors.
Step 6: Disconnect the Taillight Wiring Harness
- Find the taillight wiring harness connectors behind the side trim panel. These connectors will look similar to the T-connector harness.
- Separate the connectors from the taillight housing carefully, ensuring the locking tabs are not damaged.
Step 7: Install the T-Connector (Driver Side)
- Take the T-connector end with the yellow wire.
- Insert it between the separated connectors on the driver side.
- Ensure the connectors are fully inserted, and the locking tabs are securely in place.
Step 8: Attach the Ground Wire
- Locate a suitable grounding point near the connector, such as an existing screw with a nut in the vehicle frame.
- If necessary, drill a 3/32" pilot hole into a rust-free, clean metal area.
- Secure the white ground wire using the provided ring terminal and screw.
Safety Note: Before drilling, inspect the area to ensure no components are hidden behind or underneath the surface to avoid damage or injury.
Step 9: Repeat Steps for the Passenger Side
- Route the T-connector end with the green wire to the passenger side, behind the removed scuff panel.
- Follow Steps 5–7 to install the T-connector on the passenger side.
- Secure any loose wires using the provided cable ties.
Step 10: Mount the Converter Box
- Locate a flat and clean spot near the taillight inside the vehicle.
- Use the provided double-sided tape to adhere the black converter box securely to the selected surface.
Step 11: Position the 4-Flat Connector
- When in use, route the 4-flat connector to the center of the vehicle for trailer connection.
- When not in use, roll up the connector and store it in a convenient, out-of-the-way location inside the trunk.
- Use the provided cable ties to secure any loose wires.
Step 12: Finalize Installation
- Reinstall all components removed during the installation, including the scuff panel, side trim, and trunk floor coverings.
- Reconnect the negative battery terminal to restore the vehicle’s electrical system.
- Attach the provided 4-flat dust cover to protect the connector from dirt and corrosion.
Hardware List:
- White ground wire with ring terminal
- Black converter box with double-sided tape
- 4-flat wiring harness
- Cable ties (provided)
Safety Notes:
- Always check for hidden components behind or beneath surfaces before drilling to prevent damage or injury.
- Disconnect the negative battery cable before working on the electrical system.
- Do not exceed the product rating or the tow vehicle lamp load rating, whichever is lower.
Specifications:
