INSTALLATION OF TAILLIGHT DIVERTERS FOR A 3-WIRE
SYSTEM
NOTE: This system will use 3 of the 4 diverters provided in the kit. The preferred location
for the solid-state diverters is as close to the taillight assembly kit as possible.
Step 1. Access the wires for the taillight assembly (usually through the trunk in a
sedan and wagon).
Step 2. Turn ON the taillights.
Step 3. Ground the continuity tester to a suitable ground.
Step 4. Probe each wire to locate a “HOT” wire. Turn OFF and ON the taillight switch to
verify the correct wire. Label the wire “TAILLIGHTS”. Turn OFF the taillights.
Step 5. Turn ON the left turn signal. Probe each wire for a “HOT” wire. Watch for the
continuity tester to blink with the turn signal to verify the correct wire. Label the
wire “LEFT TURN”. Follow the same procedure for the right turn signal, but label
the wire “RIGHT TURN”.
Note: Refer to DIAGRAM , page 25 for the steps listed below.
Step 6. Turn ON the taillights. Locate the wire labeled “TAILLIGHTS”. Cut the wire and
confirm that the taillights have gone OUT. Turn OFF the taillights.
Step 7. Strip each wire ¼”. Crimp a ¼” female terminal onto each wire.
Step 8. Connect the wire that goes to the taillight bulb to the “OUT” of the diverter, connect
the remaining wire to either “IN” terminal of the diverter.
Step 9. Turn ON the left turn signal. Locate the wire labeled “LEFT TURN”. Cut the wire
and confirm that the turn signal light has gone OUT.
Step 10. Strip each wire ¼”. Crimp a ¼” female terminal onto each wire.
Step 11. Connect the wire that goes to the turn signal bulb to the “OUT” terminal of the
diverter, connect the remaining wire to either “IN” terminal of the diverter. Locate
the wire labeled “RIGHT TURN” and follow the same procedure.
