Trailer Wiring Harness Installation - 2008 Ford Edge- Video
Speaker 1: Today on our 2008 Ford Edge we're gonna take a look at and show you how to install the Hopkins custom taillight wiring kit for towed vehicles, part number is HM56000. Now a towed vehicle wiring harness is gonna be the perfect solution for enabling you to plug your motor home into the front of your vehicle and the lights work on the back so we can stay legal and have the signals we need.Now when the motor home sends the signal in it's gonna run through the wiring harness and to our diode converter. Here it's gonna be converted into a usable signal that our vehicle will recognize and operate the lights for us. We've got T connector harnesses that are gonna plug directly in to our factory connectors for the drivers side here and also for the passengers side so there's no splicing or cutting of our vehicle's wiring harness required.Now the diode harness is a very nice feature to have, this is gonna allow us to separate the two vehicle wiring systems. As we're using our car's lighting system we're not gonna have any back feed going up to our motor home plug area and when we're using our motor home signal as those signals come in they're not gonna be looped around and then sent into the vehicle system. It's a great way to protect our vehicle, our motor home to keep everything isolated at the same time.Now to get our harness installed we're gonna take off the taillight housings on each side, we'll use an eight millimeter socket and we want to take out the two screws that hold the housing in place. more
