Hi there Audi owners today in your 2017 Audi Q7, we're going to be taking a look at and showing you how to install Tekonsha ZCI four-pole flat connector trailer wiring system. We're going to look at some of the features first, so stick around towards the end, and then we're going to do the installation with you. And this is what our wiring looks like when it's installed. You almost can't even tell that it's there because it's going to be completely hidden on your Q7. When you open up the lift gate, there's an access panel located on the inside right here. And if we open that up, our wiring is located inside.
With the system our wiring is always going to be inside the vehicle. So this way we can be sure that it's protected against the elements when we're not using it.And when we are ready to use it, we can simply unravel it. The cover can be put back in place and it'll just pinch out the end there and that's fine. When we close the lift gate, it's fine as well that we pinch it against the weatherstripping. It's not going to cause any damage.
You just want to say off to either the passenger or driver's side to avoid the striker in the middle. Now that we've got a draped out the back, we can plug it into our trailer and we're ready to hit the road. This wiring system is going to provide your standard four pole flat connection, which provides all of your lighting signals, which includes your left turn signal, right turn signal, tail lamps, and brake lamps. This will keep you DOT compliant in all states and ensure that everybody behind you knows your intentions when you're going down the road.One of the best parts about this system is that is a completely spliceless system. There's no tapping into any of your factory wiring.
The ZCI setup uses inductive clamps, that clamp around your turn brake and tail lamp signal circuits. And when it sees current flowing through these circuits, the module knows which input it's receiving, and then it outputs the exact same signal on your four-pole flat connector, providing the same signal that your vehicle is without ever having to actually touch any of the wiring. And another thing I really like is that the module that produces all the signals that send to your trailer are produced by that module and all the current that comes from it is from a separate power circuit that's run. So this way, none of your vehicles wiring is tapped into your trailer wiring whatsoever.So if you have a short on your trailer, nothing will be effected except for your ZCI wiring. The wiring is fuse protected.
So you'll find a fuse next to your battery. So if you do have any faults on your trailer, it'll just open that fuse. You can replace the fuse to repair your wiring system. Once you fix the wiring on your trailer and plug it back up, and you're ready to hit the road again, now that we've gone over some of the features, let's go over the installation together so you can have the confidence to do it at home. The only thing I want to recommend is that if you have a 48 volt system on your Q7, that you seek out professional service to get it done, as it could be a safety concern, doing it at home. If you're unsure whether or not you have a 12 volt or 48 volt system, you can contact your dealer to find out that information.We'll begin our installation with our lift gate open, and we'll need to remove the entire paneling here across our lift gate. To do so, we're going to use a plastic trim panel tool. We'll start at one corner and we're just going to start popping the paneling out. We don't want to pop it out too far though, because there are electrical connectors underneath and we don't want to damage any of them. So we're just gently going to be working our way around, lowering it down little by little disconnecting connectors as we go. Once you've got all the clips disconnected and your panels loose, we can disconnect any electrical wires that may be present. You may need a screwdriver to disconnect some of these connectors, as the tabs are quite small and kind of lower the lift gate down a little bit here to make it a little easier to access. We also have connectors here for the lights, don't forget those. And there are also very small on their connector tab. So you will likely need a screwdriver to release these as well. Don't forget the ones on the other side.And once all of our electrica
