Positive wire on the reverse lamp will be a colored wire and the Negative
wire will be black.
Wiring the Power to the Vehicle’s Reverse Lamp
1. Locate the reverse lamp in the tail light assembly. You may be able to access
the wires for the lamp from within the trunk, behind a panel, or depending on
your vehicle you may have to remove the tail lamp. Follow the procedure that
is recommended by your vehicle manufacturer for replacement of a light bulb.
To verify the wiring:
a. Engage the emergency brake on the vehicle.
b. Turn the ignition switch but do not start the car.
c. Have another person engage the brake pedal and shift into reverse
(please make sure the emergency brake is engaged to ensure your
safety).
d. Check the wires with a 12 volt test lamp. (not included)
e. Once you have confirmed the positive and negative connection point,
place the vehicle in park, turn off the ignition and proceed.
2. Using the tap connector supplied, perform the following steps:
a. Place the un-stripped positive lead from the tail lamp in the run channel,
which runs completely through the connector.
b. Insert the un-stripped red power wire from the power completely into the
other channel in the connector.
c. Make the connection between the wires by crimping down the metal
connector with a pair of pliers, making sure the metal is flush with the
plastic insulator.
d. Close the top plastic hinged cover until latched.
3. Repeat the above steps for the black wire or attach the black wire to the
ground (negative).
