Enstalasyon ak Enstalasyon

This wiring harness is designed for a vehicle-specific fit. While general steps are provided, always refer to the detailed instructions included with your product for precise vehicle-specific guidance. Professional installation is recommended if you are unfamiliar with automotive electrical systems.

Etap Jeneral Enstalasyon:

1. Prepare machin nan: Ensure the vehicle is turned off and the battery is disconnected before beginning installation. Access the rear taillight assemblies.
2. Locate Connection Points: The harness typically connects behind the vehicle's taillights. You may need to remove taillight assemblies to access the wiring.
3. Konekte ekipay la: Plug the custom connectors from the harness into the vehicle's existing taillight wiring sockets. These are designed for a plug-and-play fit.

5. Konekte ak batri a: Route the power wire (if applicable) to the vehicle's battery, connecting it through the included fuse holder. Always install the fuse as the last step.
6. Fikse Modil la: Mount the main harness module in a dry, secure location within the vehicle's rear compartment, away from moisture and moving parts.
7. Ransanble epi teste: Reinstall any removed vehicle components. Reconnect the battery and test all lighting functions (turn signals, brake lights, running lights) with a trailer or trailer light tester.

Important Note on Taillight Grommets:

Some vehicle models may have rubber grommets where wires exit the taillight housing into the vehicle's trunk. If the harness wires are routed through these existing grommet holes, ensure the grommet provides a complete seal around the new wiring to prevent water intrusion into the vehicle's interior, especially during car washes or heavy rain. Modifying the grommet to accommodate the new wiring may be necessary, and proper sealing is crucial.

Depanaj

The CURT Custom Wiring Harness features a circuit-protected converter system designed to prevent damage from short circuits or overloads. If you experience issues, consider the following:

Circuit Protected Converter Systems:

This product has been factory tested and built to full specifications. The wiring package includes an electronic module that provides internal circuit protection.

If a short circuit or overload situation occurs in a trailer lighting circuit, the module is designed to shut the circuit down, preventing current flow until the issue is resolved.

If vehicle lamps are working but the trailer lamps are not working, shut power off to the faulted circuit for a few seconds then try the circuit again.

If trailer lamps return to normal function, the issue has been resolved.

Si lamps light for a few seconds and then go off:

1. Check ground wire on both the harness and trailer.
2. Check correct an overload condition (too many bulbs).

If the circuit fails to light:

1. Check low vehicle fuse.
2. Check cable for broken connections.
3. Check for broken bulbs.
4. Check ground wire on both the harness and trailer.
5. Locate and correct a short.

Note: Using a tester can help confirm system function. If problems persist, see your installer or corrective action. Inspect wiring and connections before towing and frequently while towing.
