Tools Required:

• Trim Panel Remover
• 10mm Socket & Ratchet or Wrench
• Drill (3/32” Drill Bit)
• Wire Crimpers
• Wire Cutters
• Phillips Head Screwdriver
• Test Probe

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Prepare the Vehicle:

   • Open the hatch of the vehicle and temporarily remove the rear threshold, cargo net, and cargo cover to allow access to the rear interior trim panel on the driver’s side.
   • It may be helpful to fold the rear seat forward for easier access.

2. Remove Interior Trim Panels:

   • Carefully remove the lower cargo hook by pushing in on the white plastic clip.
   • Using a trim panel remover tool, carefully pull back the upper and lower trim panels on the driver’s side.

3. Connect the Driver-Side T-Connector:

   • Gently pull back the upper trim panel to reveal the vehicle’s white 6-pin connector.
   • Connect the T-One® T-Connector harness into the vehicle’s white 6-pin housing and lock it into place.

4. Ground the White Wire:

   • Locate the existing ground stud on the driver’s side.
   • Loosen the bolt, place the screw eyelet on the stud, and re-tighten the bolt.
   • Ensure all existing ground connections are still attached and torqued to the manufacturer's specifications.

5. Mount the Black Box Module:

   • Apply the supplied double-sided tape to the flat side of the black box.
   • Locate a flat, out-of-the-way surface and mount the T-One® T-Connector’s black box module to prevent damage or rattling.
   • Clean the mounting surface with a 50/50 mixture of rubbing alcohol and water before securing the black box.

6. Connect the Fuse:

   • For models from 2017-2022, locate the interior fuse compartment under the steering column and identify fuse location 37.
   • For 2023-current models, identify fuse location 17. If a fuse is not installed, insert the 15-amp fuse included in the hardware kit.
   • Note: Fuse installation may not be required for all models.

7. Secure the Wiring Harness:

   • Use the provided cable ties to secure the remainder of the T-One® T-Connector harness.
   • Avoid areas that may pinch, cut, or melt the wire.

8. Reassemble the Vehicle:

   • Reinstall the plastic trim panels, threshold, storage covers, floor covering, and other items removed during installation.
   • Ensure no wires are pinched or damaged during reassembly.

9. Store the 4-Flat Connector:

   • When not in use, store the 4-flat harness in an out-of-the-way area in the rear cargo compartment.

Safety Notes:

• Overloading circuits can cause fires. Do not exceed stated product ratings or vehicle manufacturer specifications.
