WARNING
Do not exceed product rating or tow vehicle lamp load rating, whichever is lower.
The battery connection must be fuse-protected, 10-amp max. Exceeding
the product rating can cause loss of warranty, overheating and potential fire.
Maintenance
Periodic inspection of all wires and connections should be performed
to ensure there is no visible damage or loose connections.
Electrical Ratings
Signal circuits 3.0-amps per side
Tail / Running Circuits 6.0-amps total
Check vehicle owner's manual or contact
the vehicle manufacturer for more information.
NOTICE
Before you begin installation, read all instructions thoroughly.
Proper tools will improve the quality of installation and reduce the time required.
All steps must be followed to ensure the product will function properly. Once installed,
test for proper function by using a test light or connecting a properly wired trailer.
Level of Difficulty
Easy
Installation difficulty levels are based on time
and effort involved and may vary depending on
the installer level of expertise, condition of the
vehicle and proper tools and equipment.

Step 1
Locate the vehicle battery and disconnect
the negative battery terminal. Be sure to fasten
this wire down and away from the battery
while completing the installation process.
Step 3
Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove eight
screw push fasteners, four on each side
securing the taillight trim in place.
Note: You may need a small flathead
screwdriver to help back out the push fastener
screw. Adding a little pressure to the backside
of the screw will help the screw back out.
Step 4
Remove the taillight trim straight out, starting
at the bottom and working your way up.
Repeat on the other side of the vehicle.
Step 2
Open the tailgate all the way and raise the
glass window in the open position. Use a
10mm socket to remove the four bolts, two on
each side, securing the taillight trim in place.
56468-INS-RA • 08/17/2021 • ECN8684 • PAGE 3 OF 6
Step 5
Locate the vehicle taillight wiring connectors.
The connectors will be similar to those on
your new custom wiring product. Separate the
connectors from the taillight housing taking
care not to damage the locking tabs.
Repeat on the other side of the vehicle.
Step 6
Starting on the driver side, locate the custom
wiring end with the yellow wire. Route the
yellow wire behind the taillight wiring and wrap
the wire around the rear bumper so that the
connectors are above the bumper and the black
converter box is below the bumper.
Insert the custom wiring end with yellow
wire between the separated connectors.
Make sure the connectors are fully
inserted with locking tabs in place.
Route the wires up and behind the rear door
seals that were removed in steps 4 and 5.

Step 7
Route the green wire over the driver-side frame
rail and along the bumper. Next, route the
green wire over the passenger-side
frame rail. Zip tie as needed.
Repeat step 6 using the wire with the green
wire to attach to the passengers side tail light.
Step 8
Adhere the black converter box using the
provided double-sided tape and cable ties (on
the top side of the frame). Secure any loose
wires with the provided cable ties.
56468-INS-RA • 08/17/2021 • ECN8684 • PAGE 5 OF 6
Step 9
Locate a grounding point such as an existing
screw or bolt in the frame of the vehicle or drill
a 3/32"pilot hole. The area should be free from
rust, dirt, and paint (abrasive pad/paper to
remove rust and paint). Secure the white ground
wire with the ring terminal on the existing
fastener or with the provided ground screw.
CAUTION
Check for miscellaneous items that may be
hidden behind or under any surface before
drilling to avoid damage and/or personal injury
Step 10
Route the 4-flat along the rear bumper
and zip tie as needed. Mount the 4-flat
close to the receiver tube.
NOTICE
Once the custom wiring harness is installed,
verify that the harness is functioning by
attaching the 4-flat to any vehicle with
functioning trailer lights. The taillights
on the tow vehicle should function along
with the taillights on the towing vehicle.
Step 11
Reinstall all items removed during install. If it was disconnected at the beginning of the installation,
reconnect the negative battery terminal. Install the provided 4-flat dust cover to help prevent corrosion.

Route 12 GA wire to vehicle battery location,
taking care to avoid any pinch points and hot
or rotating components.
Acheminer le câble de calibre12 à la batterie du
véhicule en prenant soin d'éviter les points de
pincement et les éléments chauds ou pivotants.
Pase el cable calibre 12 hacia la ubicación de
