Connecting the Power Harness
To find reverse power, remove tail light and
examine where and what wires plug into the reverse
bulb. Locate and verify with a volt meter. The wire
carries 12 volts when in reverse and 0 volts when out
of reverse.

NOTE: It is recommended to solder all connections.

Sensor Install: Sensors must be installed in order 1-4 from left to right with control
