Wiring
Note: Some towing vehicles may already have a 4-way Flat Connector, “Trunk”
plug wired in. For those vehicles, skip the following wiring instructions.
If you do not have experience doing this type of automotive electrical wiring
or if the wiring in your vehicle differs from that explained below,
have an automotive service technician connect the wiring.
1. Identify the towing vehicle’s wires in
the trunk that correspond to the circuits
indicated in Figure A. The white ground
wire from the Pigtail (22) may be
connected to a bolt or appropriate
component on the vehicle to establish
a ground instead of a ground wire.
Note: This is the wiring configuration of the
“Trunk” 4-way Flat Connector (23). The towing
vehicle may have a different wiring color code.

2. Connect the wires from the
Wiring Pigtail (22) to the proper vehicle
circuit wires using Wire Splices (21).
When the supplied splices are used,
generally no wire stripping or cutting
would be required. Follow these
three steps and refer to Figure B:
a. Insert the end of the Pigtail (22) wire
into the ‘dead-end’ channel of the
Splice. Insert the wire all the way to
the end of the channel as shown.
b. Place the Splice around the
correct vehicle circuit wire.
c. Make sure both wires stay
properly in place while the cover
is closed until it snaps together.
B) Place splice
around vehicle wire
C) Close Splice
cover securely
A) Insert Pigtail (22) wire
into ‘dead-end’ channel

3. Verify that all wires are held securely.
4. Plug the “Trunk” Connector (23)
into the “Trailer” Connector (18).
WARNING! If the Wire Splices (21)
are used improperly and damage the
vehicle’s wiring, the vehicles rear lights
may fail, resulting in a traffic hazard.
Have an assistant operate the vehicle’s
lights while you carefully check that
the vehicle lights and the towing lights
all work properly after installation.
If any function of the vehicle or towing lights
does not work, do not drive the vehicle.
Carefully inspect the splice connection
and the circuit that failed and repair
the problem and retest before use.
5. Disconnect the “Trailer” Connector (18)
if the light kit is not going to be used yet.
