Today on our 2014 Toyota Avanza we're installing our Curt T Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector, part number C56079. All right, here's what our plug looks like once it's installed. Reasons you would need this is if you had a small trailer you wanted to pull behind your vehicle. If you had a bike rack that had a plug that could plug in some lights to it. If you had magnetic tow lights for something you could plug that into this. This will run your blinkers, your running lights, and your brake lights. All right, when you want to use it we just tuck our wire off to the side, we do not want it have it sitting in here, this can pinch it. But if we have it run right along the side here, the weather stripping allows us to close the back hatch without pinching anything.
When you're done using this, it just tucks away in your spare tire area. Now let's show you how we installed it. We open our package and this is what comes with it. We've got our power cord, that'll attach to our power wire and run from back here all the way up to our engine compartment. We've got our fuse box that attaches this to our battery. We've got our little package here comes with different zip ties and connectors and fuses that we'll need along the way.
We've got our connectors here, this is for the driver's side this is for the passenger side. Like I said before, our power wire and we have our ground wire here all come out of our module box. Here's our 4-pin connector that will lay out of our vehicle. Also comes with a weather cap for the end of our 4-pin, keep all the weather, dirt, and debris out. Our first step is going to be taking out our mat, set that off to the side. We'll also be removing all three of these panels.
All right we need to remove our tray here. I've already got one of the caps out of the way. We've got a second one, so I took this one off and this one just unscrews by hand. It also has a Philips screwdriver end in it so you can use your screwdriver if you would like. Then, if we come over here I've got my pushpin release, just use a screwdriver to push that down, pin will come up and to reset that all I have to do is push the pin up and out so that I can reinsert it when I'm done.
We also have a nut here. It's finger tight so I can loosen it by hand. It also has a hex-tock 00:02:39 to it so you can find the right socket if you'd prefer to use a socket. All right. Lift that out, lift up and remove from the vehicle. To make this easier, I'm going to remove our jack. We have the same finger tight nuts here and the hex-nut here and the same pushpin over here. All right, to get ready to remove our panel we'll have to take off our threshold piece here, our hook here, and our cargo loop here. I'm taking a ten millimeter socket to remove this. For this one I'll push on the center and we'll release our hook. All right, to remove our threshold piece we just pull straight up and work our way across. We have these white pins that hold it in place, if they do get stuck inside the vehicle that's all right, just use a flat-head screwdriver to pop them out and slide them back in their holes, so I've got the two to replace, which is not a big deal. Now that we have our threshold piece off I'm going to use a screwdriver to push down on our pin, allows us to pull it out. We can pull back on our panel and that allows us access to our connectors here. All right I've pushed in on the center of my pin here, I can remove my panel. Again, just need enough to get to our connector right here. All right, here's our connectors here. Now at the top there's a pushpin on the back side to release, so if you can get in there with your hand. Sometimes it helps if you can release that from the wall and you can push on your pushpin here and separate your connection. Once you get those apart you can take your red and yellow connector here with the brown wire in there. Go ahead and connect it on both ends. And repeat that on your passenger side as well. Easiest way to route our plug to the passenger side is I'm going to take an air tube or any kind of stiff wire that you have, I'm going to run it through the holes back here until it reaches our other side. Kind of pull some of the slack out and then I'll just tape my connection to my air tube or pull wire, whatever you're using. Then I've got it through, I'm just going to take my pull tube off and connect it to my tail light co
