CAUTION

Verify what is behind any surface prior to drilling to avoid
damage to the vehicle and/or personal injury. Do not drill
into any exposed surfaces.

Using the 7-way end as a guide, mark the mounting hole
locations with a center punch

and then drill four 3/32”

holes as marked.
NOTE
Use rust-proof coating in drilled areas to prevent future
rusting (not provided).

CAUTION

Verify what is behind any surface prior to drilling to avoid
damage to the vehicle and/or personal injury. Do not drill
into any exposed surfaces.

Route harness thru mounting hole and connect the 7-way
end to the harness

. 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.

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.

Screwdriver, Center Punch

Locate the vehicle’s 7-way factory harness on or near the
rear bumper

. Separate this connector, being careful not

to break the locking tabs

. Ensure that the mating sur-

faces are free of dirt. Clean if necessary. Install the Trailer
Tow Harness between the mating plugs.
NOTE
Dodge version is rectangular.

Determine a suitable mounting point (usually on the Driver’s
side between the rear post and the wheel well area) and
route the harness to this location

. When routing

make sure you have some extra length (approximately 4”
or more) that will be needed in step 5. In addition, make
sure that the trailer’s wire harness has adequate length to
reach this point and that you have at least 5” of clearance
behind the mounting surface for installation

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.
NOTE
Cut away view of truck rail. Make sure there is at least 5”
of clearance for mounting

Once a suitable mounting location is found, drill a pilot
hole using a drill and 1/4” bit

. Re-check your mounting

location and wire lengths and then use your 2” hole saw to
finish cutting the mounting hole

NOTE
If the vehicle has a bedliner it will need to be notched or use
a longer set of screws (not provided) and mount directly
into the bedliner and body panel.
