Now our Tekonsha wiring is going to provide us with the 4-way trailer connector.
However a lot of people have trailers that have a 7-way on them.
And thats where our Buyers adapter going to come into play.
The adapter is going to give us a 7-way.
So well have all seven functions like our tail lights brakes turn signals reverse lights and we even have the option to put in a brake controller and have a 12 volt power source.But the nice thing is is we still get that 4-way on the outside as well.
So well have a dual connector here.
That way if we have two different trailers different connectors on there or if we just tow several different trailers well be able to hook up really easily.
Now I do want to mention that this is a pretty common thing.
People want to be able to use a 7-way on their Audi.
However the Tekonsha wiring is meant to stay on the inside of the vehicle. So the problem comes up to get that wiring outside so that we can mount up the 7-way.But our Tekonsha wiring is going to be stored on the inside.
The converter box and everything else is actually right behind this panel here.
We just pull that panel out of the way.
We can see we have our converter box and all of our signal wires hooked up.
Now the converter box is going to take the signals from our factory wiring and convert them into a working signal for our trailer. Its also going to make sure that theres no feeding and its going to protect our factory wiring from any kind of potential issues that may be on the trailer end.Another thing I really like about the Tekonsha ModuLite here is that it is fuse protected.
So we dont have to worry about overloading our taillight circuits or turn signal circuits from our trailer wiring because its going to have its own power source that were going to have to hook directly to the battery.
And our Tekonsha wiring is going to plug directly into the back of our Buyers adapter so that way were not going to have to worry about cutting or splicing anything on that end.That way we get all the signals coming out of our Tekonsha going through the adapter coming out to the 7-way and we can have it right by our hitch ready for us when we need to tow.
Now I do want to mention typically our wiring is not going to be installed in this area.
Most people are going to be installing it on the hatch because thats where the lights are. But again the problem arises when you want to put a 7-way on your vehicle you have to route the 4-pole wire somehow down the hatch down the body and then get it out to the outside.
But I found a much easier way.So if you are going to be installing a 4-way you can still do it right here.
Or if youre going to be putting a 7-way on its still much easier to install it this way.
And well give you a few tips and tricks of how we got everything in place just to make it that much easier for you.
In fact lets go ahead and do it together now.To begin our installation we want to open up the rear hatch on our Audi.
And were going to be removing the floor coverings as well as the spare tire.
So we can pull up set this panel aside.
And then well pull that spare tire out.
Now before you go to lift it up you want to disconnect the electrical connector here.
Theres two squeeze tabs on the side.
Well pull that out and kind of just help guide it down through the wheel.
So it doesnt get caught.
Then you can lift up this piece separately set it aside then well grab our spare.Now right underneath this panel here is our battery.
So well lift up on this cover.
Just kind of tuck it out of the way.
And well have these two tabs here press away from the back and thatll give us access to our battery.
Now at this point we need to start testing our wiring for our taillights.
Now youll notice that the taillights are on the hatch of our Audi and not on the body.
And it is going to make it a little more difficult to test it because typically we would have to pull this panel down to get to the back of the connector but I already did some checking and I followed all the wires and they actually come down into this area right here.If we grab this panel where our 12 volt outlet is let me just pull away.
Now you do want to be careful because that 12 volt outlet kit is on the back so well just rotate it out of the way.
But we have this big bundle of wire here.
And we already went through and tested which wires are which.
And we can go through and let you know which ones are fo
