Where to Connect Power Wire of Tow Ready 118578 Trailer Wiring Harness on 2016 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid
Question:
I just finished installing the Tow Ready # 118578 trailer wiring harness onto my 2016 Rav4 hybrid. When I was finishing the wiring with this kit, I was a little uneasy about where to connect the positive wire onto the battery post. The 12 volt battery is under the floor in the back of the vehicle. The Hybrid has a small circuit board attached to the positive terminal with two different connector bolts on the circuit board. I connected the fused trailer wire to the main connection that runs from the battery up to the front of the vehicle. Is this correct? Enclosed is a picture that has the trailer wire connection circled in red. Everything seems to work ok. I just want to double check. Thanks for your help.

Expert Reply:
The terminal you have the power wire connected to looks like it's a fused terminal. I'd recommend connecting to the bolt that's closest to the positive battery post as shown in the photo I've edited for you. This will provide you with a direct connection to the battery.
Tow Ready confirms that the # 118578 is compatible with your 2016 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid.
