Hey everyone, Shane here with etrail.com, today, I have a 2016 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque, and I wanna walk you through how to install the Tekonsha ZCI Wiring Harness. Nice thing about the DCI wiring harness is it doesn't require us to tie into the factory wiring on the vehicle. It has a little box, you lay the wire in it, and it reads the signal as it passes over that box. That makes it nice because we're not damaging any of our wiring. There is a little bit of extra involved with installing it, that way, however, again, this type of wiring would be good if you are leasing this vehicle and you have to turn it in, you know, after your three-year lease, or five-year lease is up, if you don't have anything damaged on it, you can take this wiring and you can switch it over to the new vehicle you're gonna be using. This wiring is gonna give you the four-pole plug to allow you to tow a trailer, to give you all the proper lighting functions.

This wiring is gonna be compatible with two wires systems, three wire systems, pulse width modulation systems, and, multiplex system. It's gonna be designed to live inside the vehicle. When you're ready to use it, you're just gonna come right here to the back, lay it out, make sure you're going over the rubber seal, stay away from the connection point, close your hatch, hook up to your trailer, and you're ready to go. Once you're done, you simply roll it up, store it in your spare tire compartment here, and we'll be ready to go for the next time. It's gonna have 4.2 amps per circuit for our stop and turn signals, 7.5 amps per circuit for our taillights.

Not only does this work with vehicles that have two wire, three wire, PWM systems, and multiplex system, but, once you have it installed, it's gonna be compatible with five, six, and seven-pole adapters, which you can find here at etrailer. Now that we've gone over some of the features, lets walk you through how to get it installed. To start your installation, you're gonna remove all the interior panels. Come to our threshold, we're just gonna pull up on it. You notice that this comes out, we're gonna pull this out and install it back on there before we put it back in place, for now, we'll just leave it.

Now we're gonna need to gain access to the wiring behind our taillight, T25 Torx bit for this screw. For this one, this is actually a six star, however, if you have a flat head screwdriver, make sure it goes in there good, we can use that to get that bolt out. We'll start here. We'll take out this one on each of the vehicle, and then we'll move to the two tie-downs. Next we're gonna pop this panel, all you're gonna do is start at the bottom and just pry it out.

Once you get it popped out and you can look inside of here, you have these couple of wires that are coming out from right behind your taillight. And note the colors to those, we're gonna strip back some of this tape that's on here. Now we need to test our wires to determine which points we're gonna be using. This has a separate turn signal, so, we're gonna be looking for three wires. The ones that I determined where our wires are gonna be is gonna be the brown with the gray, the brown with the green and green with the white. Green with the white is gonna be our brake signal, green with the brown is gonna be our running light signal, and the gray with the brown is gonna be our turn signal. Now how you test them, is right now I have the running lights on, so you can see the end of this, it's lighting up. Now if I turn this off, or turn the running lights off, that light should not come on. Now you can see with the running lights signal off, we'll test the wire again and make sure we've got the correct one. And you can see the red light on the end of our tester is not lighting up, so we know we're good there. We're gonna repeat the process for our remaining two wires on our driver's side, and then our wires on our passenger's side. Now we're gonna take our converter box, we're gonna take the black wire that comes off of it, we're gonna add on a butt connector that comes in the kit. We're gonna take the bundle of wire that comes in our kit, we're gonna strip back one end. We're gonna add it in the other end of our butt connector. We need to get this up into the engine compartment to the battery. Now, since all of our lighting is back h
