TOOLS REQUIRED:
Drill (3/32” Drill Bit), Philips Head Screwdriver,
Wire Crimpers, Test-probe, Wire Cutters,
Socket Wrench Set
NOTE
Some kits will require a wiring kit for installation
that may be sold Separately.
2 WIRE SYSTEM
Same bulb for stop and turn signals.
NOTE
Some vehicles have a separate bulb for stoplights but also
have a combination bulb for turn and stop (such as 2008
Ford Taurus sedans). These cars should be wired as 2 wire
systems, using the wires going to the common bulbs. Attach
the crimp on spade terminal provided to the red “stop” wire
and ground it along with the white wire (mounting step 3).
Install the rest per diagram / illustration.

3 WIRE SYSTEM
Separate bulbs for stop and turn signals. Both Red or
Amber turn signals. Install per diagram / illustration.

See catalog or website for vehicle code definitions and further information.
1. DETERMINE IF THE TOW VEHICLE HAS A 2 WIRE OR 3 WIRE SYSTEM.
2. When using a circuit tester, carefully probe one wire
at a time. Determine each of the vehicle functions as
shown in the illustration.
CAUTION
Do not probe across two wires or across wire and
vehicle structure.
3. Attach the trailer wiring to the vehicle as shown in the
illustration using splice.
CAUTION
When splicing use appropriate gauge wire splices.
4. Disconnect and isolate the vehicle’s negative
(-) battery terminal.
5. Cut the in-line fuse holder loop wiring. Allowing
enough wire on both ends to install.
6. Using an in-line fuse holder, crimp a ring terminal to
one end (3/8” for top terminal or 1/2” for side terminal).
7. Attach the fuse holder (with fuse removed) to the
positive (+) terminal of the battery.
8. Route 12 gauge (or larger gauge) wire from
the fuse holder to the convertor passing under
or through the vehicle.
NOTE
When passing wire through sheet metal always go
through an existing grommet, add a grommet or use
silicone rubber to insulate the wire from the hole.
9. Attach the 12 ga. Wire to fuse holder and convertor
with butt connectors as shown in the figure.
CAUTION
See tow vehicle’s owners manual for any special
battery reconnection instructions.
10. Reconnect the tow vehicle’s (-) negative battery cable.
11. Determine a suitable location for mounting the circuit
protected convertor in an out of the way place near
the driver’s side tail light.
12. Mount the unit using the self-tapping screws or
double-sided tape provided. 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 surface.
13. Locate a suitable grounding point near the convertor
such as an existing ground stud or drill a 3/32” hole
and secure the white wire using the eyelet and screw
provided. (Do not drill into the floor or bed.) Clean dirt
and rustproofing from area.
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 surface.
14. Install the 15-amp fuse into the fuse holder and
test the installation with a circuit light or trailer.
TESTING PROCEDURE
With the ground wire connected and all of the other
circuits attached, attach the ground lead of a circuit
tester to the exposed ground terminal of the 4-flat end.
Activate the tow vehicle’s left turn, right turn, tail and
stops one at a time. Probe the three receptacles of the
4-flat end to confirm proper functions.
WARNING
all connections must be complete for the convertor
to function properly. Test and verify installation with
a test light or trailer. Once installed, for initial test,
reset vehicle electrical system by temporarily removing
the key from the ignition.
15. Secure all loose wiring with cable ties.
WARNING
Overloading circuit can cause fires. DO NOT exceed
lower of towing manufacturer rating or:
• Max. stop/turn light: 2 per side (4.2 amps)
• Max. tail light: (7.5 amps)
Read vehicle’s owners manual & instruction sheet for
additional information.
