- 5). Remove the vehicle harness from the right side taillight. Plug the matching T-connector into the vehicle harness and taillight connection.
- 6). Remove covering from the double-sided tape on the trailer harness module, and press the module against a flat steel surface behind a quarter panel.
- 7). Run the four-pole harness to the storage compartment.
