FORD FIESTA HATCHBACK
1. Open the rear hatch and remove all floor
coverings (A). Remove the two Torx T-30
head screws securing the rear scuff panel
and then remove the scuff panel by pulling
out on the bottom and then up (B,C).
2. On both sides of the hatch remove the
phillips drive screw in the trim (D). Pull out
on the trim to release the trunk liner. On
both sides of the trunk, pull out on the trunk
liner to access the tallights’ wiring harness so
the T-Connector can can be installed (E).
3. 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
connectors taking care not to damage the
locking tabs. Insert the T-Connector end
with the yellow wire between the separated
connectors (F). 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.
4. 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.
5. Locate a flat spot and adhere the black
converter box to the frame of the vehicle
using the double-sided tape provided.
6. 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.
7. Reinstall all items removed during install.
8. 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.
