Trailer Wiring Harness Installation - 2015 BMW X3

Today in our 2015 BMW X3, we'll be installing a Tekonsha upgraded heavy duty ModuLite circuit protected vehicle wiring harness with install kit, part number 119190KIT. Now when we want to use our trailer wiring, you just pull back on this cover here, grab our wire, pop our panel back in place, hook it onto the hitch right down here so it has something to hold it in place when we close our hatch. Now you can see we have easy to access wiring here, which easily hook up to our trailer. This will give us the required by law lighting functions that we need in order to safely tow a trailer. We'll have our turn signals, our brake lights, and our running lights. When we're unhooked from our trailer, we can just stow the wiring back in a compartment as simple as we pulled it out. Now one nice feature about this wiring harness, has a built in dust cover here to help protect our four pole flat from any dirt, debris, or the elements. Just slide that over the connector and it'll keep it protected. All right, we'll begin our installation first by removing our floor cover here. Okay, we'll remove these clips right here by twisting 90 degrees. more

Trailer Wiring Harness Installation - 2013 BMW X3

Today on our 2013 BMW X3 we'll be installing the tilt-ready heavy duty Modulite circuit protective vehicle wiring harness, part number 119190KIT. To begin our installation we'll first need to access the manufacturer's wiring harness. We'll go ahead and remove the interior trim panel here on the driver's side. Here, just behind the tail-light housing, coming through the black grommit will be the wiring connected to the driver-side tail-light assembly. Next we'll go ahead and use the utility knife, cut back the electrical tape to gain access to the wires. Then using a test light provided with our install kit we can probe each wire to identify which signal it provides. Here in the driver-side the yellow wire with the black tracer will connect to the brown wire from our converter box. This is the running light circuit. To connect the two we'll use the quick-splice connector by putting the quick-splice connector over the manufacturer's wire into the inside groove, then feeding the brown wire into position, crimping it down and closing the clasp. more
