U-Haul I owe you an edit. The comment below is true but I was able to contact cooperate and they were quite shocked to hear what happened. My installation was redone at a different facility, the cost was refunded 100% and the employee was going to be retrained, or encouraged to seek new employment. I have always used U-Haul, and was quite pleased that you took the matter as seriously as I did. You have earned yourself another chance.

I paid close to $500 to have my Hitch and Harness installed. What I received back was a car with a wire hanging underneath it darn near scraping the road. When I called and asked about the installation and compared it to this video they said "Corporate has tools we do not, if you expect that level of installation you can take your car to Arizona or, find a U-Haul with better installation procedures. No stores follow the corporate installation instructions."

Amazing. Was in such a bind and this video literally saved my life. My light tester wasn't working and I couldnt get out to get a new one so I just put a heavy object on the break and turned on the left blinker and clipped wires and made note of which lights turned off. That's how I figured out which wires were what. Hope that helps some of you who are also in that same dilemma

Much better demo than the CURT Video. Calm and steady.

One of the best installation videos I have seen on youtube.

I appreciate the video & you did amazing job explain and show step by step . The only thing I wish you did show the first connections colors since I have the exact car ! But I don’t have the lighting tester thingy you have . Thx again

[ChezzOnBass]

I have just gotten this vehicle so this will help me immensely. Thanks!!

This is very petty for a 99.9% wonderful video. When you had to lengthen the right direction signal wire, would it not have been better to first drop the wire down the access rather than attaching first then trying to fish up? Ya never know what might be up there. Great great video that will save me about $250.00!

Thanks for your help when I got to the right blinker I got lost because my lights are setup different and I didn’t have the tool to test my lights but after about 30 mins of research I found out my white with dark green wire is my right blinker took me 6 hrs to do this job 🤷🏿‍♀️ but I saved money and got it down I spent half the time going to Lowe’s twice once for the 3/32 drill bit and the 2nd time for green 16 gauge wire my kit didn’t come with extra wire … I hope comment helps someone my car is a 2014 dodge journey

I have that vehicle. Whats the cost for uhaul to install the wire harness for me?

[chuckzettler]

What do you do when the brake and turn signal run on same wire ? Hook both to same car wire ?

[KamotoSam]

Shouldn't ground always be to something that's bare metal? Not painted

[maxyoung]

so my auxiliary, battery wire, electronic braking system can they all be wired to the same wire to the front battery?

[doubleagent]

I think he meant to say “3/16th drill bit.

[colekv]

I don't want to do all this. Who can I hire to do this?

[thomvogan]

At the risk of asking a dumb question, why the need to run a wire to the battery ? Can't you just splice into the tail light wires ?

[lisasweeney]

You need to explain better when connected your wiring you went silent

[Texas_taildraggin]

Electricity and fuel lines what could go wrong

[ryanstopka]

How can I do this if I don’t have the wire checker light?
