Above you’ll find the typical locations in which you will be
hardwiring your converter onto your vehicle. On the backside
of this sheet you will find illustrations in reference to a generic
installation on a car. Refer to these illustrations as you read
through the instructions.
1. Locate the vehicle's taillight wiring, refer to typical locations
above, based on type of vehicle you’re installing the converter
on.
2 Using a test lamp , identify the corresponding wires in the
harness for the left turn, right turn, tail lights and brake lights.
3. Temporarily remove the vehicle's negative battery cable from
the battery.
4. Using wire taps, attach the input wires of the tail light
converter to the corresponding vehicle harness wires identified
in step 2 as indicated.
Converter Brown Wire: Tail Light Circuit
Converter Yellow Wire: Left Turn Circuit
Converter Red Wire: Brake Light Circuit
Converter Green Wire: Right Turn Circuit
5. Locate a clean accessible mounting location for the converter
module. If locating on the outside the vehicle cabin, find a clean
surface that is out of the path of spray and debris from the rear
wheels and the road surface.
6. Locate a suitable mounting location for the ground eyelet on
the vehicle near the converter on vehicle’s frame or cross
member. Remove any debris or undercoating to expose a clean
metal surface and drill a 3/32" hole. Mount the white wire using
the ground screw and eyelet provided.
7. Secure the converter wires to the vehicle using cable ties and
reinstall negative battery cable on battery.
TESTING PROCEDURE
-If testing with a circuit tester, 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 stop lights one at a time. Probe
the three receptacles of the 4-flat end to confirm proper functionality.
-If testing with a trailer, mate 4-flat with trailer and run the same test
as the circuit tester using the trailer lights. If a function on the trailer
lights does not work properly, disconnect the trailer 4-flat, turn
functions on vehicle off and recheck function with a circuit tester. If
functionality is good, check the trailer for potential problems.
WARNING !
Verify miscellaneous items that may be hidden behind or under any
surface before drilling to avoid damage to vehicle and/or personal
injury
