- Yellow Wire: Left Turn & Stop
- Brown Wire: Taillights
- White Wire: Ground
Step 2: Make the Electrical Connections
-
Match the color-coded wires from the wiring kit to the corresponding vehicle wires.

- CAUTION: Test one wire at a time to prevent damage to electronic components.
-
Connect the wires using the provided insulated butt connectors:
- Strip the ends of each wire and seat them properly in the connector.
- Use a crimping tool designed for insulated splices to secure the connections.
-
Heat the connectors:
- Apply heat directly to the center of each splice using a hot air gun.
- Work from the center outward until the tubing recovers and adhesive flows.
- Allow the connections to cool before inspecting for integrity.
Step 3: Ground the System
- Locate a grounding point near the wiring harness, such as the vehicle frame or cross member.
- Do not drill into the vehicle floor or bed.
- Clean the area to remove dirt, rust, or undercoating.
- Drill a 3/32" hole at the grounding point and secure the white wire using the provided eyelet and screw.
Step 4: Verify the Installation

- Verify the functionality of taillights, turn signals, and brake lights.
- Ensure all connections are complete and secure.
- If issues are identified, double-check the wiring and connections for errors.
Step 5: Store the 4-Flat Connector
