Step 1
To assemble the accessory sensor, place the top half of the sensor (#1) over the top of the receiver tube. Place the bottom half of the sensor (#2) around the bottom of the receiver tube. The two components will fit together to enclose around the receiver tube.
To secure the two halves together, place the provided flat washers (#5) over the two socket head cap screws (#4). Insert the assembled screws through the top half of the sensor and secure with nylock nuts (#6). Use a 5/32" Allen wrench to tighten. Note: Tighten each side in equal increments to make sure the sensor stays square on the receiver tube.
Step 2
From under the vehicle, route the sensor wiring harness (#1) along the passenger side to the point just after the trailer hitch main body bends. Next, route the harness between the bumper and trailer hitch. From here, route the harness up above the spare tire.
In the rear of the truck bed, locate the factory wiring harness running to the tailgate and route the sensor wiring harness alongside it out from underneath the vehicle.
Route the sensor wiring harness through the hole near the tailgate.
Zip tie (#7) the wiring in place so it does not hang below the vehicle.

Route along passenger side Locate factory harness

Route above spare tire Route through hole near tailgate

Step 3
CAUTION Make sure there are no accessories in the receiver tube that can hit the tailgate.
Press the lower button on the tailgate to lower the tailgate.
