Setup Instructions
- Prepare Mounting Surface: Ensure the mounting surface on your towed vehicle is clean, dry, and free of debris. The magnetic bases require a flat, metallic surface for secure attachment.
- Position Lights: Place the magnetic tow lights on the rear of the towed vehicle. Ensure they are spaced approximately 7 feet apart, as dictated by the integrated wiring, and provide clear visibility to other drivers. The scratch-resistant magnetic base protects vehicle finishes.
- Connect Wiring Harness: Connect the 4-pin connector of the 20 ft. wiring harness to the corresponding 4-pin connector on your towing vehicle (e.g., car, truck, RV). Ensure the connection is secure and fully seated.
- Route Wiring: Carefully route the wiring harness from the tow lights to the towing vehicle, ensuring it does not drag on the ground, interfere with moving parts, or become pinched. Use cable ties if necessary to secure excess wiring.
- Test Functionality: Before driving, test all light functions. Have an assistant verify that the brake lights illuminate when the brake pedal is pressed and that the amber flashers activate with the turn signals.

Operating Instructions
Once properly installed and connected, the Haul Master 12 Volt Magnetic Tow Light Kit operates in conjunction with your towing vehicle's electrical system.
- Brake Lights: The red lights will illuminate when the towing vehicle's brake pedal is pressed, signaling deceleration or stopping.
- Turn Signals/Flashers: The amber lights (or red lights if dual-function) will flash when the towing vehicle's turn signals are activated, indicating a turn or lane change.
- Running Lights: Depending on your towing vehicle's wiring and the specific light configuration, the lights may also function as running lights when the vehicle's headlights are on.
Always ensure the lights are functioning correctly before and during your journey to maintain road safety and compliance with traffic regulations.
Maintenance
- Cleaning: Periodically clean the light lenses and magnetic bases with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could scratch the lenses or damage the magnetic coating.
- Wiring Inspection: Regularly inspect the entire wiring harness, including connectors, for any signs of wear, cuts, fraying, or corrosion. Replace any damaged wiring or connectors immediately.
- Magnetic Base Check: Ensure the magnetic bases remain clean and free of metallic debris that could reduce magnetic strength or scratch vehicle surfaces.
- Bulb Replacement: If a light bulb burns out, replace it with a compatible 12 Volt bulb. Refer to the specifications for bulb type if available, or match the existing bulb.
- Storage: When not in use, store the tow light kit in a dry, protected area to prevent damage from elements.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Lights not illuminating | Loose or corroded connection; Blown fuse in towing vehicle; Damaged wiring; Faulty bulb. | Check all 4-pin connections for security and corrosion. Inspect towing vehicle's fuse box for a blown fuse. Examine wiring for damage. Replace faulty bulbs. |
| Lights flickering or dim | Poor electrical ground; Loose connection; Insufficient power supply. | Ensure the towing vehicle's ground connection is clean and secure. Re-check all wiring connections. Verify the towing vehicle's electrical system is providing adequate 12 Volt power. |
| Lights detach during transit | Unclean or uneven mounting surface; Insufficient magnetic contact. | Clean the mounting surface thoroughly. Ensure the magnetic base is fully in contact with a flat, metallic area. Avoid mounting over non-metallic or heavily painted surfaces. |
