Draw-Tite Hitch Install

[Sodium Duck]

I just did the wiring today. I ended up mixing the tail light wire and left turn signal wire. That was a pain.

So anyways, You need to buy yourself this hot little item. $15.00 at any auto parts store: Reese 60 inch 4 Way Connector Tail Light Converter For reasons beyond my knowledge, you just need it to have the converter box thing.

So first step is to get at your tail lights. Pull the little vent cover thing off of each side.

Then remove your trunk floor, and cargo cover thing to make room for yourself.

Next, you're going to want to yank out the center trim piece. There are two pop rivet type things on the front of it, so just pop them out and the piece slides easily up.

Then on the side plastics, there is one pop rivet. Just yank a little till it lets go so later on you'll be able to get some fingers in there and pull wires through.

Now starts the wiring. First, I put the converter box under the cover for the rear shock on the DRIVERS side. I thought this was a convenient spot for it. You have to get creative running the wires, just take your time.

So next, you run the green wire from the converter box out under the plastic pieces, across where the center piece was removed, and over to the PASSENGER side tail light. This gets connected to the only yellow wire there.

Then back to the DRIVERS side. The red wire from the box goes to the purple wire. The yellow wire from the box, goes to the LIGHT GREEN wire. The brown wire from the box goes to the DARK GREEN wire. And the white wire from the box goes to the white wire with a black stripe.

Route the 4-pin flat connector out to the hatch area, and you're done. Just button it up.

I accidentally mixed up the green wires when I first did this, so be careful. I hit my left turn signal, and both tail lights were flashing on the trailer. Whoops!
