Today on this 2001 Toyota RAV4, we're going to install part number C55307. This is a Curt T-Connector trailer wiring harness with a floor pull flat. With our floor pulled back out, we'll go ahead and show you how to use it. Pull it out, you can go ahead and put the panel back into place. Then route this to the outside over the door seal here. The door seal's thick enough, it won't hurt anything when we shut the door on it. Set it by the center of the hitch, close the door, and we can go ahead and pull out what we need to go out to our trail. Let's go ahead and open it back up, and when we're not using it, we'll keep it in the compartment. That way it stays safe and not exposed to the elements. First thing we need to do is go ahead and open up the back door and we need to go ahead and loosen up and remove some interior panels. We'll also take our floor panel and we'll go ahead and just rotate towards the front.
Next we'll go ahead and remove this threshold right here. If you can, go ahead and pull out the weather strip just a little bit. You can look underneath and see where the attachment points are. We can go ahead and pop it loose. One here. About right here. One in the center. Here.
Right here. We'll go ahead and fold this back and we'll go ahead and remove this screw. We're looking at the driver's side. Inside this compartment here is a couple of fasteners. Let's go ahead and open the door up. There's a Phillips head screw here and here. We'll also remove this tie-down point. This uses a 10 millimeter socket. At this point we can go ahead and start loosening up our panel here. Let's feel around for attachment points.
Pull the weather strip away, easier to see, and here's the second one right here, and third one right here. There it is. All right. All right, once we got it loosened up. That's the connection point we're looking for here. Right. We'll go ahead and leave this alone for now and we'll go ahead and loosen up our passenger side as well. We'll go ahead and take off this door as well, give us a little more flexibility. Look for the white connector here and this is our connection point we'll go ahead and attach to. Now that we know where both of them are, we'll go ahead and disconnect them. OK.
Now to release, there's a small tab that you push down on and you can go ahead and pull it apart. Go back and do the same thing on the driver side. Starting on our driver side, we'll go ahead and install the T-connector with the yellow wire. Basically this will fit in between the two half that we split apart. We'll go ahead and route this over to our passenger side and do the same thing. OK. Let's go ahead and route this behind our plastic as well with the floor pull and the converter box pulled out the opening here. All right. Next we'll go ahead and attach our converter box. We're going to use the adhesive that comes with it to go ahead and attach to your sheet metal behind our opening. We'll go ahead and clean out the sheet metal, make sure it's nice and clean, then we'll go ahead and attach the converter. Go ahead and put our panels back into place. We'll make sure our yellow wire stays behind the panel as we put it back into place. Also make sure you don't get pinched. Let's go ahead and put our door seal back into place. Just along this edge for now. We'll go ahead and put our passenger side back together. What I'm going to do with my yellow wire, I'm going to tuck it underneath the carpeting here just along this edge, then I'll put a threshold back over the top. That should hold everything in place and keep it from moving around. Just for now, let's go ahead and our floor pull inside the compartment here, just hold it out of the way, then we'll go ahead and put our floor components back into place. Before we try it on a trailer, it's a good idea to go ahead and test it out independently first. To test it, we'll take our light tester and clamp to the white wire and we'll go ahead and check the brown wire for running light circuit. Yellow for left turn. Green for right turn. Our brake signal will be a constant signal on the yellow and green wires. All right. It looks like everything works. OK. With that, that will finish it for our install, part number C55307 from Curt, the T-Connector Wiring Harness with the floor pull flat trailer connector on our 2001 RAV4. .
