Step 4. Cut the white wire to an appropriate length, strip the end of the wire ¼”, crimp a
seamed spade terminal onto the wire; attach the wire to a suitable ground as
previously described.
Step 5. Cut the heavy blue wire from the monitor to a suitable length, strip the wire ¼”,
crimp a 3/8” ring terminal onto the wire. Connect the terminal to the Start battery
or a battery solenoid only. Do not use fuse box or splice into a wire. (For 24-volt
DC systems find a constant 12-volt DC source of power.)
Step 6. The red and black wires of the monitor will be connected to the red and black wires
of the 2-conductor cable, after the 45-ft. conductor cable of the motorhome wiring
harness has been routed to the front of the motorhome.
INSTALLATION MOTOR HOME WIRE HARNESS ASSEMBLY
NOTE 1: Some motorhomes have amber turn signals and red brake lights which requires the
use of a tail light converter to change the wiring schematics. A tail light converter is
not supplied with this Taillight Wiring Kit. You can purchase them through your
local provider or automotive parts supplier.
NOTE 2: Carefully review the electrical schematic diagram on Page 18 to assure
understanding of the circuitry.
NOTE 3: As in the installation of the socket on the towed vehicle, be aware of exposure of the
socket to road damage. The coiled cable should rest on the tow bar if the sockets on
both vehicles are either opposite each other or the sockets are mounted in the middle
of both vehicles to allow the cable to rest on the tow bar. Whichever way is used,
the result will be the same – to keep the cable from dragging on the ground.
NOTE 4: Use normal precautions with all wiring in the motorhome to avoid sharp edges,
moving parts, and surfaces that become very hot from the vehicle being driven.
Step 1. Begin the installation by mounting the 6-conductor socket on or near the center of
the rear bumper (next to the towing ball) using the socket bracket and ¼” x ¾” self-
tapping metal screws provided.
NOTE 6: Use a number 7 drill bit to drill the holes for the self-tapping screws.
Step 2. Strip the end of the white wire extending from the socket ¼” and crimp on a seamed
spade terminal. Ground the white wire to a suitable nearby bolt or screw, or drill a
hole in an adjacent metal surface and use one of the ¼” x ¾” self-tapping metal
screws. Please don’t ground to any painted metal surface!
