Today we are going to be installing wiring harness part number 118376 on a 2001 Dodge Grand Caravan. Okay, taking a look at the wiring harness here, you can see we have got a T-connector here. That is going to be plugging in behind the tail light assembly on the drivers side. We have also got a ring terminal here, next to this white wire that is our ground wire. We are going to be using a self-tapping screw that is provided in the installation kit. In the middle, we have got the black converter box, and on the other side of it is double-sided tape. That will allow us to adhere it to a surface inside to keep it up and out of the way. Here at the other end we have got the actual 4-pole that can be the connection point for your trailer.

So, the first thing we want to do is to go ahead and remove the rear drivers side tail light assembly. To do that, we need to remove the two push pins here. And then we will just pull the tail light assembly back. And, as you can see right here, we have got our connection point. Look in on the back side you can see the red tab in there that needs to be released first, before you can pull the connector apart. If you just push the tab over until it releases, and then there is a little button up here at the top, we are going to push in. And that will allow us to pull them apart. Now we will take our tail light assembly and set it off to the side for a moment. Take our wiring harness, and you can see you have got two ends. The one end is going to connect directly to the connector that is on the vehicle side. And we are pushing that together and pushing the lock tab over. The other end will be going into the back side of the tail light assembly. I put a slit into the grommet here, and I am actually going to store the converter box inside of here. That will keep it nice and weather safe for us.

For the 4-pole, we have actually got two options of where you can store that at. You can take it and also route it through the grommet through the inside, or you can pull it through the interior panel here and store it inside the jack storage compartment. Or you can actually route it outside here. We can just take this screw out from the bumper cover and we can feed it between the bumper and the body to where we can run it down below and attach it to the trailer hitch itself. And that is what we are going to do with this application. I am going to go ahead and connect the ground wire, and then we will feed the converter box through and route our 4-pole below. I am going to go ahead and cut a slit into the grommet here, and that is going to allow me to feed the wires back out once I have slid the converter box in. That should be enough there.

Wow the harness I have is no converter box and its grounds through the connector and its better to run the wiring under the plastic cover on the inside that runs along the bumper to keep it out of sight. and dry.
