03 OBW trailer lights- my turn!


Recommended Posts

Well, after searching here, I can say I've looked everywhere I can look without a screwdriver for the factory 6-pin trailer light connector.

 

Behind the jack, L and R access panels for the tail-lights, in the hatch itself, removed L and R styrofoam panels under the pieces of snap-in rug...

 

No where to be found.

 

Are the LL Bean H6 models different, or do the subie assem. guys just like to hiode this thing?

 

Or do I have to actually pull a tail-light?

 

The wiring seems to come down the right side (passenger side) of the car, as there are a few connectors there.

 

Is this a connector just hanging there, or do I untape something and find this little SOB?

Yep, what 2X2KOB said. That's where mine was in the MY01

 

You may have to fish your hand deep in between the inner framework and the quarterpanel, but it should be there.

 

I don't remember if mine was taped in place or not.

I actually had the same question.

 

Are you guys saying it's in the passenger side compartment that has the door on it? Isn't there a plasticy lining in that little compartment? Does that have to come out?

 

Thanks.

 

I believe its the area I'll give you instructions to here:

 

- Remove (or lift) spare tire door

- Remove spare tire foam tray cover

- Remove right bottom net hook (if it has the loop that goes right down to the carpet)- you just unscrew the hook.

- Lift and remove the right hand carpet sectio- should lift right up

- Lift and remove the black foam piece under the carper section.

- Look/dig down into the exposed areas- the connector should be hidden down in one of the areas.

 

Haven't had another chance to look yet, myself, but I think this is where they mean.

 

Note- right side = passenger side.

In my 2000 OBW it was right where the previous poster said it was. Yes, it was hard to find, but its there. Perhaps what is deceptive is that the pigtail is wrapped as if its intended to remain permanently wrapped, rather than simply being tied to keep it from rattling around or getting pinched.
