    IV. Installation 

  1. Locate access to the third brake light wires. The easiest access to them is from where you
    change the existing bulb or LED bar.
  2. Place a “Quick Connect” connector over positive (+) side wire going to the third brake light
    and insert the Red wire. Using the pliers, squeeze the metal splice to secure the wires and then
    snap the cover closed.
  3. Place a “Quick Connect” connector over the same positive (+) side wire going to the third brake
    light but between where you attached the Red wire and light. Insert the Blue wire and squeeze and
    snap as before.
  4. Place a “Quick Connect” connector over the negative (-) side wire (any chassis ground) and insert
    the black wire. Squeeze and snap as before.
  5. Cut the positive (+) side wire between where you attached the Red and Blue wires from the
    Smart Stop.
  6. Bond the Smart Stop inside somewhere out of the way with double-sided tape away from areas
    of high temperature, moisture and water leakage.
