In this video I install a trailer wiring harness for the 2021 Toyota Rav4 Prime SE. I purchased this harness kit here: torkliftcentra... You can find the wire connector mount I used here: amzn.to/3AqXXMb
Thank you for your honesty. 5 hours! I read DIY many times and I understand that people that do this for a living can do it in 20 minutes, but me 5 hours. No one every talks about the honest time for doing the job RIGHT and I think you did pretty good. Most of all I appreciate the honesty. I installed the CURT 13416 yesterday (me and wife) and as simple as it may be, it was a bitch for us to get up in there and simply install (4) bolts. Next project is to install the wiring harness as you did. And I want to do the same as you. I don't want the stuff where you pull the wires out of the spare tire when you need it, and stuff it back when you don't. Anyhow, thank you! (I may go with a different brand wiring harness but I suppose they're all the same? Your thoughts?
Thank you for the video,one piece of advice where you passed the wiring thru the body plug ,either poke a hole in the center of the plug or cut a slit and keep the wiring protected it shouldn’t be touching the metal edge it’s eventually going to wear thru and short out . You can seal the plug with rtv silicone where the wires pass thru .
Thanks for the video! I think the light stays on 32:38 because the towing control module doesn't know when the ignition is off on this car. Does it ever turn off for you when you are not towing? It seems the power wire is always hot, even when the car is completely turned off.
Do you think you could have put the control module in the battery compartment (passenger side) in the Prime? Assuming the harness connectors are reversible seems like it could have saved time on some of the wiring work.
Hmm yes I probably could have but I don't think the left signal wire would reach I would have to extend it. Either way you'll have to run a wire across. It was designed to be installed in the rear left.
