KIA FORTE SEDAN
1. Open the trunk. Remove all trunk floor
coverings (A). Remove the rear scuff panel
by pulling out on the bottom and then up
(B). On both sides of the trunk remove the
inspection covers, small screws and the
plastic fasteners holding the felt trunk liner
in place (C,D). On both side of the trunk, pull
out on the trunk liner so that the wiring
harness can be routed.
2. On the driver’s side, locate the vehicle’s
taillight wiring harness connectors. The
connectors will be similar to those on the
T-Connector harness. Separate the
connector from the taillight housing taking
care not to damage the locking tabs (E).
Insert the T-Connector end with the yellow
wire between the separated connectors.
Make sure the connectors are fully inserted
with locking tabs in place.
WARNING!
Verify miscellaneous items that may be
hidden behind or under any surface before
drilling to avoid damage and/or personal
injury.
3. Locate a suitable grounding point near the
connector such as an existing screw with nut
in the vehicle’s frame or drill a 3/32” hole
and secure the eyelet of the white ground
wire using the screw provided.
4. Locate a flat spot and adhere the black
converter box to the frame of the vehicle
using the double-sided tape provided (F).
5. Route the T-Connector end with the green
wire to the passenger side behind the trunk
liner and removed scuff panel. Repeat Step
2 on the passenger side using the
T-Connector end with the green wire. Use
the provided cable ties to secure any loose
wires.
6. Reinstall all items removed during install.
7. Route the 4-flat out from under the felt
trunk liner to the center of the vehicle when in
use. Roll up and store in an out of the way
location when not in use.
