Important to note: 2019-20 Hybrid models have the battery in the rear passenger side under and to the right of the cargo floor. Don't waste your time routing the cable under all of the underbody covers like I did. Its even easier than the non-hybrids.

Thanks for this great tip! Did you end up just running it exposed on the underside of the car? Or did you find a different path? THnx

If you have the non-hybrid, I would recommend to tuck it in like the video shows and use plenty of zip ties. This requires routing power cable under the car. It would be too time consuming to remove all of the underbody panels. If you have a hybrid, remove the plastic trunk lip and pop out the rear portions of the side panels the connections to the rear lights are inside both panels and the battery terminal in on the bottom right of the trunk. Secure the bottom of the converter module so it doesn't rattle with some 2-sided tape. There is no need to route the power cable as everything is right the in the trunk compartment.

I am about to install this very harness and saw a number of videos on this topic. This one is the BEST. The only thing missing is the mounting of the converter box on the frame of the vehicle. Adding this little piece would increase the usefulness of this video even more. Thank you

For my 2019 Rav4 Hybrid XSE, I recently installed a Tekonsha 118801. My Rav4 has a subwoofer on the left side. The wire for the left turn signal is short by about 12 inches because of the subwoofer housing filled the space. Though it was easier to route the power wire because the hybrid's 12vdc battery is just at the rear cargo right side.

Hot tip. 'Go ahead' and test it before you go ahead and put the interior panels back in place. If it doesn't work, you're gonna go ahead and kick yourself.

When you hooked up the power wire to the positive of the battery, did you remove the ground first? And did you have to reprogram anything after you hooked up the power wire?

No you do not have to remove the ground! Nothing will need to be reprogrammed as well! Hope this helps.

We try to get every shot we can but it can be difficult working in an engine and underneath the car with a camera. However, the is no singular way to run the wire. It can have several paths through the engine bay as long as you avoid the wire contacting any hot or moving parts. As we call out in the video, we prefer to run it along the break lines of the vehicle which can be seen from the engine bay, giving you a smooth path to underneath the car.
