Locate a flat clean surface that is out of the path of spray and debris from the rear wheels and road. Adhere the black converter box using the provided double-sided tape. For Hyundai Veloster and Kia Seltos, mount it in a flat spot between the body of the vehicle and the bumper cover just below the taillight. Failure to mount the box in a protected area can cause loss of warranty, product failure, overheating and potential fire.
Drilling is required only for the ground wire connection on some vehicles. You may need to drill a 3/32" pilot hole for the provided ground screw if a suitable existing screw with nut is not available in the vehicle frame. The area should be free of rust, dirt and paint. Check for miscellaneous items that may be hidden behind or under any surface before drilling to avoid damage and personal injury.
The pilot hole size is 3/32". Drill this hole only if a suitable existing screw with nut is not available in the vehicle frame near the connector. The area should be free of rust, dirt and paint before drilling.
Signal circuits: 3.0 amps per side. Tail/Running circuits: 6.0 amps total. Do not exceed the product rating or tow vehicle lamp load rating, whichever is lower. Exceeding the product rating can cause loss of warranty, overheating and potential fire.
The battery connection must be fuse-protected with a 10-amp maximum fuse. Install the fuse after all other installation steps are complete. The fuse holder is included in the kit.
Use 12 GA wire or larger to route from the vehicle battery to the converter system. Route the 12 GA wire to the vehicle battery location, taking care to avoid any pinch points and hot or rotating components.
Disconnect the negative battery terminal before wiring the power wire. Route the black 12 GA power wire to the positive battery (+) terminal using a ring terminal for the battery connection. Use the ring terminal provided with the kit. Secure the power wire to the vehicle chassis using the provided cable ties. When passing the power wire through sheet metal, use an existing grommet, add a grommet, or use silicone to protect the power wire from sharp edges. Install the 10-amp fuse after all other steps are complete.
Locate a suitable grounding point near the connector such as an existing screw with nut in the vehicle frame, or drill a 3/32" pilot hole for the provided screw. The area should be free of rust, dirt and paint. Secure the white ground wire using the ring terminal and provided screw. This connection is required on Hyundai Tucson, Hyundai Veloster, and Kia Soul.
Yellow wire: Left turn signal. Green wire: Right turn signal. Red wire: Brake. Brown wire: Taillight. The custom wiring harness uses yellow and green wires to connect to the vehicle's taillight connectors. The black power wire connects to the positive battery terminal. The white ground wire connects to the vehicle frame.
The 4-flat connector is the trailer connector that plugs into your trailer's wiring harness. It carries the signal and lighting circuits from the vehicle to the trailer. Route the 4-flat along the backside of the bumper to the center of the vehicle and mount it close to the trailer hitch. When not in use, roll it up and store in a convenient, out-of-the-way location. A dust cover is provided to help prevent corrosion.
Disconnect the negative battery terminal before beginning installation. Secure the disconnected wire away from the battery. Do not lay tools on the positive (+) battery terminal, as this can cause a short in the system, sparks and/or electrical shocks. Reconnect the negative battery terminal only after all other installation steps are complete.
Check for miscellaneous items that may be hidden behind or under any surface before drilling to avoid damage and personal injury. This is especially important when drilling the 3/32" pilot hole for the ground wire screw.
Once the 12-volt power wire is connected to the harness, verify that the harness is functioning using a test light, 4-flat tester, or a functioning trailer. This test should be performed before considering the installation complete.
Reinstall all items removed during installation. If the negative battery terminal was disconnected at the beginning, reconnect it. Install the provided 4-flat dust cover to help prevent corrosion. Verify that the harness is functioning using a test light, 4-flat tester, or a functioning trailer before towing.
Periodic inspection of all wires and connections should be performed to ensure there is no visible damage or loose connections. Install the provided 4-flat dust cover to help prevent corrosion when the connector is not in use.
