Today we are going to install part number 118396 from Tow Ready. We are going to install
this T-1 harness on a 2005 Buick Tarazza. And also, we are going to use a bracket, part
number 118144. First we will install our bracket. It is going to install to the factory bracket
that is on the hitch. Now this bracket here, it can be installed like this on the hitch.
Or, if you did not have a bracket on the hitch, you could easily attach this to the bumper.
We will go ahead and start installing our T-1 connector. And we do have to get the tail
lights off the vehicle, so we have to open up the back hatch to get to the screws to
take off the tail lights. We will take off these two screws right here and then we just
pop the whole assembly off. Once you have the tail light loose, go ahead and disconnect
it from the wire harness. It is this connection right here you want to take apart. And then
go ahead and repeat the same steps for the other side.
Next what we are going to do is our 4-pole in behind this cavity here behind the light
and down out toward the bottom. Also, what we want to do is take the passengers side
and push it down in there, too, and pull it out the bottom. The yellow side with the brown
wire will always stay up here on the drivers side of the vehicle. In fact, we will go ahead
and just snap that into place. All right, now that we have got our passengers side,
we will go ahead and run that underneath the body, up to the other side. We will go ahead
and install it into our bracket, push it on through, and just kind of work it until it
catches those edges right here. And it will be secured it is basically a friction fit.
We will leave that alone for now and continue with our other harness going back to the other
side.
