Speaker 1: Today on our 2018 Dodge Charger, we're gonna be taking a look at and showing you how to install the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector. That's part number C56234.Here's what our wiring's gonna look like once we have it installed. This is gonna give us all the lighting functions we need to safely get down the road, like our tail lights, our turn signals, and our brake lights. It is gonna provide us the 4-pole connector for easy connections. Now whenever we're not towing with it, and we wanna store it, we simply open up our trunk and we store it right by our spare tire. So it's gonna keep it out of the elements and keep it from getting any rust or corrosion on the contact points.The maximum amps of our wiring is gonna be three amps for our stop and our turn signals, and six amps for our tail light circuits.A lot of our customers said that they really like this wiring kit because of how easy it is to install.

We're not gonna have to cut or slice into any of our wiring 'cause it's gonna simply plug in right behind our tail light. And unlike most powered tail light converters that we're gonna have to run from the back all the way up to the front by the battery, our Charger actually has the battery in the trunk which is gonna make the installation that much easier.Our wiring kit's gonna have a converter box. It's gonna take the signal from our Charger and turn it into a working signal for our trailer. But it's also gonna protect our Charger from any kind of back feeding if any problems we're to arise on the trailer end.Now that we've seen the end result of our wiring and gone over some of the features, let's show you how to get it installed. To begin our installation, we're gonna open up the trunk on our Charger and remove all the floor coverings out of it.

Your may look a little bit different than ours. You may have the compact spare that's gonna be underneath in that recessed area here. You're gonna pull the floor covering out and pull the compact spare out as well as pull off the cover that's covering the battery. We'll just lift it up, and we'll set it aside for right now.On each side of our trunk we're gonna have this tie-down hook that's secured by a screw. You're gonna wanna grab a T-20 Torx bit and pull that out.

Now if we come down and towards the back, we're gonna have these cargo tie-down points, and we're gonna need to pop those out. The easiest way if you grab a flat-head screwdriver, and we come underneath, kind of turn while you're prying away, and we can pop them out. So we'll go ahead and remove all four of those, two on each side. And then on the trunk here, we're gonna have push pin that's holding the carpet in place right at the corner. So we'll take a trim panel tool or flat-head screwdriver, and coming from underneath it we'll pop that out.

And we'll do that on both sides.Next we're gonna remove the plastic threshold that's at the very bottom, right by the bumper here. If we reach towards the bottom where that panel is, we can lift out and then up, and then I'll start releasing those clips, and we're slowly gonna work our way all the way across. Once all of them are released, we'll take our panel and set it aside for right now.So with everything loose, we're gonna grab the felt liner. We're gonna start pulling it away so that we can expose the tail light connector right here. There's gonna be a small tab right on top. We wanna depress that while we're pulling away to disconnect it. Push on that tab, and then pull the connector away from the tail light. Since we're on the passenger side, we're gonna start with the connector that has the green, white, and brown wires on it. Now you'll notice that the connectors are gonna look very similar to the ones in our vehicle. So we're gonna take the wire, the loose connector, and we'll plug it into our wiring harness, and then we'll take the female end and we'll plug it in directly behind our tail light.And with that connection made, we're gonna have another push pin at the bottom here where it's holding the felt in place. We're gonna go and remove that one so it'll make it easier for us to route our wires. Let me just pull the felt back giving ourselves a lot more room to work with here. We're gonna take our wires and our converter box, and we're gonna drop it down behind the felt, and we're gonna route the yellow cable and our 4-pole wire across the threshold here. And we're gonna take the yellow wire and go all the way over to the driver's side and make the connections at our tail light just like we did here. We're just gonna drop our wires down
