Today on this 2007 Toyota RAV4 we will be installing the wiring harness part number
118412. We are inside the rear cargo area of the RAV4. The ports that we are going to
be plugging our wiring harness into are located behind the interior panels of the vehicle
directly behind the tail lights. That is going to be the same on both sides of the vehicle.
We are going to need to remove a few things to gain access to those ports. First off being
the middle threshold piece because we are going to be routing wires from one side to
the other. Lets go ahead and start uninstalling the interior of the vehicle. We will also
need to remove the rear section of the interior panel, there are clips here that we are going
to need to release to open that up, there are also a couple of screws. With the cargo
door removed as well just look right back here again just right behind the tail light
you can see the port that we are going to be plugging our harness into. We just want
to disconnect those two pieces and we will plug our harness in line. 01:03
Over here on the driver side we are going to be plugging the ports in with the yellow
and brown wires. Next we want to go back over to the driver side and go ahead and ground
our white wire. I am going to ground it to the metal inside the compartment. Next we
need to go ahead and connect our large lead of black wire that comes with our wiring harness
kit to the red lead coming off of our modulite box. The black wire we are going to feed underneath
the vehicle and route it all the way up to the positive side of the battery. Connect
the red wire to the black wire using the provided butt connector. I am just going to take a
piece of electrical tape and wrap up the connection point. We are also going to need to find a
grommet on the inside of the vehicle to allow us to get the black wire underneath the vehicle.
If you look directly in the back side here you have got this black grommet right here
that we can use. What I am going to do is just put a slice
in it and we
will be able to push our black
wire through there
and underneath the vehicle. 02:35
