Today we are going to install part number 118366 from Tow Ready on a 2000 Ford Windstar.
To get started, what we want to do is go ahead and lift up the tailgate and start taking
off the passengers side tail light. Okay, the connection points are going to be on the
gray connector here and the black connector. The green one is for the reverse light lead,
and we will have nothing to do with that. We have got a lot of wires to hook up, so
we are going to do it one step at a time. First off, we have got our 4-pole here, which
will get run through the grommet to the inside and be stored by the jack storage compartment
when we are not using it. But for now we are just going to go ahead and just tuck it down
in the cavity here, just to get it out of our way. Next, this is the yellow wire this
is what goes over to the drivers side of the vehicle.
So what is going to happen here is that this is actually going to be routed out to the
other side. And all that is going to do is come out to the side, come out here, and then
back over, underneath the bumper fascia. So we will just keep that out of our way for
now. And these extra wires here, this is a ground screw - that is going to get grounded
to the body of the vehicle. And then also, there are two other leads here. The red lead
will not be used, so the only thing that is left over is our blue wire. And this one gets run straight to the battery. We
will put that out
of our way, too. So, we know which wires
go where we will start
making our connections
to the tail light.
