- If the car is equipped with a trailer module (TRM), PAC or both: Disconnect the green male connector from the TRM/PAC and connect it to the cable harness green 5-pin female connector. Connect the remaining male connector to TRM/PAC.

- Clamp the pre-routed cable harness at the existing cable harness with four cable ties from the kit.

Steps 18-20 apply to cars with a 12V socket.

- Clamp the cable with the relay (1) at the existing cable harness with cable ties from the kit.
- Connect the existing white 2-pin male connector (2) that was disconnected from the 12V socket to the white 2-pin female connector (3) in the pre-routed cable harness.
The cable with the white 2-pin male connector (4) is later connected to the 12V socket when the side panel is reinstalled.
- Route the remaining long cable with two green connectors along the rear member to the left-hand tail lamp.

- Clamp the pre-routed cable harness at the existing cable harness with four cable ties from the kit.

Steps 21-23 applies to cars without the pre-routed cable to the 12V socket

- Secure the cable with the white 2-pin male connector (1) together with the relay (1), at the existing cable harness with cable ties from the kit.
