- Route the black 12 ga. wire rearward along the frame rail avoiding any hot pipes, heat shields, the fuel tank or any other points that may pinch or break the wire.
- Route harness containing the green wire underneath the vehicle up through the opening between the vehicle bumper and body to the passenger’s side taillight pocket.
- If routing the wire thru a grommet and along the exterior of the vehicle, be careful to avoid any hot pipes, heat shields, the fuel tank or any other points that may pinch or break the wire. Clean dirt and rustproofing from the area.
- Connect the other end of the black 12 ga. wire to the black box, using the yellow butt connector (provided). Install the 15 amp fuse into the fuse holder from step 9.
- Verify what is behind any surface prior to drilling to avoid damage to the vehicle and/or personal injury.
