Wiring Harness & Trim Panel Removal (Driver Side / Trunk) 

 
Before we start running the harness and removing panels, STOP.  
Take the time to wrap tape around the connector plugs that connect the harness, etc. to the DA Converter.  Note in 
the photos how I placed some electrical tape about 1” below the red / white RCA plugs.  I did this to take some of 
the pressure of the RCA plugs. It is not necessary to wrap tape around the RCA plugs. The point in wrapping 
electrical tape around the connectors is to 1).  Ensure they are properly seated and stay that way, 2). Protect the 
wires, pins and connections in general and 3). It’s just good safe practice and provides a clean appearance.   
 
Here we go… 
   
1.  Remove the drivers side panel in the same 

manner you removed the access door to the 
changer (Only one trim grommet is on the 
side panel – (

same grommet as the access 

door under the phone badge symbol

).  

NOTE-The second grommet is DIFFERENT 

and connects the rear panel to the side panel.  

THESE TRIM GROMMETS UNSCREW! 

Learn from me I broke two!

2.  Unscrew the top / bottom left rear trim 

grommet and carefully remove the side panel 
exposing the insulation and factory wiring 
harness’ 

3.  Next remove the remaining rear trim 

grommets EXCEPT THE LARGE CENTER ONE. (Keep everything together in your Zip Lock bags)  

NOTE I had a hard time creating resistance to unscrew the grommets.  If some break off it’s not the end of the 
world.  

4.  Next remove the bottom section of the rear seat.  

 
First, raise the center armrest all the way up. Go to the drivers side and grab 

the bottom of the seat about 1/3 of the way towards the passenger side.  Lift 

up with some force until the seat unclips. Go to the other side and repeat. 

Place in a clean location out of the way. 

5.  With the bottom section of the rear seat out, fold down the center arm rest and 

locate the backside of the LARGE CENTER GROMMET.  (You will have to 
move the perforated insulation back a little… DO NOT BREAK OFF)  

6.  Squeeze the tabs and the grommet should pop off in the trunk. 

7.  Locate the grommet and remove the back panel. Go ahead and remove the 

floor panel too. (If you remove the floor panel before removing the back 
panel you may find yourself fishing the grommet out of the spare tire well.  Sound like experience, huh?
