Today on this 2008 Ford Taurus X, we will be installing wiring harness part number 118448.
We are inside the rear hatch of the Taurus. The connection points for our harness are
going to be both on the drivers and passengers sides. Directly behind these panels. So we
will start by removing this piece first. As you can see here at the bottom, we have got
two push pin connectors here that we will need to remove first. We can kind of flip
up the cargo hooks here. We should be able to gently rock this back and forth and we
are going to try to release these clips here on the top side. It pops right off there.
We also need to remove from each interior panel the two tie down hooks here for our
cargo net. So we just want to get in there, and we can use a flathead screwdriver or pry
tool and pry that back and you will hear the clips release.
And we can just get in here enough to access the connection point if I pull the panel back.
It is right there, just behind the panel and that is going to be the same on the driver
side as well. There is a little tab here at the bottom holding the two connectors together,
you want to push that in and pull straight down. That will allow the two pieces to disconnect
from each other. Over here on the passenger side, the connector we are going to be using
is the one with the green wire. And we are simply going to plug this in line for the
two pieces that we just disconnected. And we can reassemble here the passenger side.
And then next, we are going to go over here to the driver side and do the same thing.
Plug the connector with the yellow and
brown wires in over
here on
the driver side.
