5. Route harness thru mounting hole and connect the 7-way
end to the harness
lm . Using the 4 self- tapping screws,
mount the 7-way harness to the vehicle surface.
WARNING
All connections must be complete for the Trailer Tow
Harness to function properly. Test and verify installation
with a test light or trailer once installed.
NOTE
On some vehicles you may need to add a fuse or relay
(not provided) to complete all of the functions going to
the 7-way. Consult your owner’s manual for locations.
6. Secure the harness to the vehicle, using the cable
ties provided.
WARNING
Route the wire being careful to avoid any hot pipes, heat
shields, the fuel tank or any other points that may pinch
or break the wire.
WARNING
When plugging in the wiring harnesses and other
connectors into 7 way connectors at the rear of the
vehicle use dielectric grease to seal the connection.
This will keep moisture from compromising the
connection and potentially setting off an error code
on brake controls and preventing plug corrosion.
If an error code is found, the error codes on the brake
controls will reset to normal after the connectors are
disassembled and dried out.
