CONNECTING THE TRAILER HITCH SENSOR POWER CABLE
The$ trailer$ sensor$ gets$ its$ power$ through$ a$ standard$ flat3four$ trailer$ connector.$ If$ your$ trailer$ uses$ a$
different$type$of$connector$and$your$vehicle$has$both$a$socket$for$your$trailer’s$connector$and$a$flat3four$
socket,$plug$in$both$your$vehicle$and$your$trailer$and$you$should$be$good$to$go.$If$not,$read$on…$
$
If$your$trailer$uses$a$flat3four$connector$and$your$vehicle$has$a$flat3four$socket,$you$will$need$to$purchase$
a$flat3four$‘Y’$adaptor.$This$is$an$adaptor$with$one$trailer$connector$and$two$vehicle$connectors.$Plug$the$
one$ trailer$ connector$ into$ your$ vehicle$ and$ then$ plug$ your$ trailer$ into$ one$ of$ the$ adaptor’s$ vehicle$
connectors$and$your$TowGo$sensor$into$the$other.$You$should$now$be$good$to$go.$If$not,$keep$reading…$
$
If$neither$of$the$above$two$solutions$apply$to$your$setup,$you$will$need$to$add$a$flat3four$vehicle$end$
socket.$This$can$be$done$either$by$purchasing$an$adaptor$that$fits$your$vehicle$and$that$provides$two$
different$types$of$sockets$(one$to$fit$your$trailer’s$connector$and$a$flat3four$connector)$or$by$replacing$
the$connector$on$your$vehicle$with$a$connector$that$includes$a$second$(flat3four)$socket.$Alternatively,$
you$can$splice$on$a$flat3four$connector$to$the$wiring$for$your$existing$connector.$If$you$do$not$want$to$
modify$your$vehicles$wiring$by$adding$a$flat3four$socket$(perhaps,$because$it$is$a$rented$vehicle),$you$can$
splice$ a$ flat3four$ vehicle3end$ connector$ onto$ your$ trailer.$ Check$ with$ your$ auto$ parts$ dealer$ or$ trailer$
parts$dealer$for$these$and$similar$solutions.$$Also$check$for$other$options$online$at:$

POWERING THE TRAILER HITCH SENSOR
$
Your$TowGo$sensor$gets$its$power$when$power$is$supplied$to$your$trailer.$Turn$on$power$to$your$trailer$
by$turning$on$your$headlights.$This$will$provide$power$to$the$running$lights$on$your$trailer$and$to$your$
sensor.$Your$trailer$sensor$has$a$small$LED$light$on$its$side$that$will$light$up$or$blink$when$the$sensor$has$
power.$$If$the$LED$is$not$lit,$your$sensor$does$not$have$power$(see$page$26$for$troubleshooting$tips).$

INSTALLING THE STEERING WHEEL SENSOR
$
Steer$ your$ vehicle$ straight$ and$ then$ attach$ the$
Steering$Wheel$Sensor$to$the$inside$top$of$your$
steering$ wheel.$ Hold$ the$ sensor$ against$ the$
inside
$curve$of$the$steering$wheel$with$the$LED$
Status$ Indicator$ facing$ you.$ Wrap$ the$ two$
Attachment$Straps$around$to$the$backside$of$the$
steering$ wheel$ and$ hook$ them$ onto$ the$ Strap$
Engagement$Hooks.$Once$attached,$it$should$not$
