Speaker 1: Today, on our 2018 Audi Q5, we're going to be taking a look at showing you how to install the Tekonsha ZCI Circuit Protective Vehicle Wiring Harness, with four pole flat trailer connector, and insulation kit. Part number 119250KIT.Here's what our wiring looks like once we have it installed. It's going to give us a four pole flat trailer connector, which is going to give us our tail lights, turn signals, and brake lights to get our trailer down the road safely. It is going to live on the inside of the car, until we're ready to tow. It's actually going to stay inside this compartment, right here on the back half of our hatch. When we're not using it, we can just tidy up the wires, and put it inside of our compartment.
Close it up, and you won't even see anything, won't even know that they're there.What I really like about this wiring is the fact that we're not going to have to cut or splice into any of our factory wiring. We're going to have a clamp style connector, that's going to wrap around the wire and pick up the signal going through it. So, we're not going to have to worry about cutting, connecting anything. It's just going to go right around the wires, and pick up the signal that way. That way we don't have to avoid any of our warranties on our car, or get into any electrical things, if you feel uncomfortable cutting and splicing into it.Now that we've seen what our wiring looks like once it's installed, and going over some of the features, let's show you how we get it installed.
To begin our installation, you're going to want to open up your rear hatch. Just for a reference, this panel right here will pop out. Then we can have access to the wires that are going to our tail lights.Now, one thing I do want to mention. When we begin to test our wires, the hatch needs to be closed, because our lights do not work if the hatch is open. Now, to pop these panels out, I'm going to take a plastic trim panel tool.
I'm just going to come to the edge, and pry down slightly. That will release these clips, then we can see we have access to our taillight harness here. Now, we're going to do that on both sides.I have my multimeter here. Now, your kit is going to come with a light tester, this is going to do the same thing. It's just going to verify that the voltage is correct on the meter for me.
We have our headlights on right now, which means our taillights are going to be working. We're going to go through each wire, until we get right about 12 volts.Our meter here, or on your tester you're going to have the end of your light tester, light up. We're going to go through and check each one of these wires programming it from the backside. That way we don't have to cut or splice into anything. Now, we are getting some voltage, but that's nowhere near enough for the light to come on. We can see here, I'm getting almost 12 volts. My car is not on, so that's okay. And my testing probe is inside the gray wire. We're going to want to write that down.That the gray wire, on the drivers side, is for our tail lights. Now that we've found the tail lights circuit, on the drivers side here, we're only going to need that tail light circuit on the drivers side. But, we're going to need to find our left turn signal, and our right turn signal. And we're going to repeat the same process. Checking each pin and wire to do so.Now, as far as our left turn signal, we are getting a signal on the blue wire, and the black and white wire on the left side. But, we have two different sets of lights on the outside. We have the regular incandescent bulbs, and an LED strip underneath. Now, we're going to go ahead and move to the brake signal, and see which one operates that one set of lights.Now, our brakes are going to be on the same circuit. But, as a I mentioned before, only one of those lights is going to come on at the same time as the turn signal. We need to figure out which wire is just the brakes, and which one is also connected to the turn signal.I'm not getting any voltage out of the black wire, while somebody upfront is pushing on the brake. So, that's going to be that LED strip that comes on when we turn on our turn signal. If I check my blue wire, I'm getting a constant 12 volts here. That blue wire is going to be our left turn and brake signal.Now, we can go over to the right side and we're going to check for the right
