Repair Procedure

1. Open the hatch and the tailgate.

2. Remove the cargo area floor.





3. Peel off any EPT sealer tape from the vehicle/trailer wire harness 4P connector, then disconnect the connector.





4. Detach the trailer side of the connector (male terminal side), then remove the connector lock from the connector using needle-nose pliers.





5. Using a terminal pin tool or a narrow blade flat-tip screwdriver, remove the four terminals from the connector.





6. Reinsert the terminals in these positions in the connector:

^ Green wire: Top left

^ Yellow wire: Top right

^ Brown wire: Bottom left

^ White wire: Bottom right

7. Gently pull on each wire to make sure the terminals are secure. Reinstall the connector lock, and reconnect the connector.

8. Using a test light or a multi meter, check for these readings at the terminals on the trailer-end of the wire harness:

^ White wire: Ground

^ Brown wire: Battery voltage with headlights on.

^ Yellow wire: Battery voltage with left turn signal on or brake pedal pressed.

^ Green wire: Battery voltage with right turn signal on or brake pedal pressed.

9. Reinstall the harness, and replace any wire ties you may have cut.

10. Wrap the connector with a 50 mm x 150 mm piece of EPT sealer tape.
