INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

DRIVER SIDE INSTALLATION LOCATIONS

  • Step 1: Disconnect the battery. Begin with the negative battery terminal, followed by the positive terminal.
  • Step 2 : On the Driver side, inspect the motor and controller mounting threaded holes. If the holes have a heavy paint buildup from the factory, clean the threads with a screw thread tap.
  • Note: Each motor is etched to call out what position it is installed in.

DRIVER SIDE INSTALLATION LOCATIONS

Step 3: On the driver side rear, locate the parking brake bracket and separate it from the wire. Rotate the bracket 180° (Located at the rear of the truck)

DRIVER SIDE INSTALLATION LOCATIONS

  • Step 4: Install the Front DRIVER side motor using (2) M8X30mm Flange Bolts, to fasten the motor to the vehicle. The hardware should be hand tightened only until snug. This will allow the motor assembly to move and align easier when installing the running board.
  • Step 5: Install the REAR DRIVER side motor using (2) M8X30mm Flange Bolts, to fasten the motor to the vehicle. The hardware should be hand tightened only until snug. This will allow the motor assembly to move and align easier when installing the running board.

DRIVER SIDE INSTALLATION LOCATIONS

Step 6 : Install the CONTROL MODULE on DRIVER side center mount side motor using (2) M8X25mm Flange Bolts.

DRIVER SIDE INSTALLATION LOCATIONS

  • Step 7 : Install the Driver side running board. With assistance, begin by positioning the board on the front and rear motor assembly bases. Align the sliding T-Nut on the running board with the slots on the front and rear motor base. Once the T-Nuts are aligned, rotate the running board so that the T-Nuts set in the slots on the base of the arms. Repeat 1-6 to install the motor linkage assemblies and running board on the Passenger side side.
  • Step 8: Determine where you want to position the board and secure the running board to the arms using the (2 per bracket) M6x25 socket head cap screws. Using a torque wrench, tighten to 9 ft-lbs. Step # With the running board is installed, fasten the hardware on the Passenger side front and rear motor assemblies. Using a torque wrench, tighten the mounting hardware to 18 ft-lbs.

PASSENGER SIDE INSTALLATION LOCATIONS

  • Step 8 : Repeat Steps 1-8 to install the motor linkage assemblies and running board on the passenger side.

Wiring your E-Boards

  • Step 9 : With the control module installed, plug in the harness connectors to the corresponding connectors. On the round connectors, make sure you plug in red to red and black to black. Route the electrical harness from the controller along the frame rail of the truck. Connect the male plug connector on the wire harness into the female socket on the motors. The harness is labeled to show where to plug each male connector to the female connector. For example, Front Left is for the front Driver side motor and Rear Left for the rear Driver side motor. Use supplied zip-ties to secure harness to the frame rail.
  • Step 10 : Connect the male plug connector on the wire harness into the female socket on the motors. The harness is labeled Front Right for the front Passenger side motor and Rear Right for the rear Passenger side motor.

Wiring your E-Boards

  • Step 11: Align the arrows on the small round connectors and plug the Passenger side front and Passenger side rear LED lights. Prepare the surface by cleaning with a 50/50 mix of isopropyl alcohol and water or equivalent. Once the surface is completely dry, peel the backing from the double-sided tape and stick the LEDs to the bottom side of the rocker panel. Position the LED lights at the center of the front and rear passenger side doors
  • Step 12 : Route the motor and LED wire harness from the controller to the passenger side frame rail of the vehicle. When routing the harness keep clear from any moving parts and avoid direct contact with the exhaust system.

Wiring your E-Boards

  • Step 13 : On the DRIVER side, remove the front kick panel, front door sill trim panel and b-pillar trim panel. Go under the passenger seat and locate the split in the carpet. Pull the rear half of the carpet back to expose the oval rubber drain plug. Pull the drain plug and drill a 7/16” hole.
  • Step 14: Go under the vehicle and feed the door trigger signal wires (white and brown) and the disable switch wires (two black wires) into the cab. Feed the wires thru the hole in the rubber drain plug. Pop the drain plug back into the slot. Seal around the wires using RTV silicone adhesive to prevent water intrusion. These cables will run underneath the driver side seat.

Wiring your E-Boards

  • Step 15: Route the Driver side door trigger wire (brown) towards the Driver side b-pillar. Route the Passenger side door trigger wire (white) and the black disable switch wires under the center console to the left side of the vehicle. The white wire needs to go to the passenger side b-pillar, the black wires will go to the center console.

  • Step 16 : The door trigger sensor harness will need a ground connection to the vehicle. Locate the seat belt assembly at the driver side b-pillar and install the ground wire under the top bolt of the seat belt assembly. Connect the snap-in bullet connector to the brown wire on the Driver side b-pillar

  • Step 17: FRONT DOOR Apply a vertically oriented strip of masking tape on the front Driver side door using the deepest part of the latch as a reference point. Make a mark 3.5” below the center line of the latch. Prepare the surface by cleaning with a 50/50 mix of isopropyl alcohol and water or equivalent. Once the surface is completely dry, peel the backing from the double-sided tape and stick the magnet to the door. Align the top of the magnet with the 4” mark as shown.

  • Step 18 : Apply a vertically oriented strip of masking tape on the door jamb using the outer edge of the front driver side door striker as a reference point. Make a mark 4” below the center line of the striker. Lift the bulb door seal to route the sensor wire underneath it. Prepare the surface by cleaning with a 50/50 mix of isopropyl alcohol and water or equivalent. Once the surface is completely dry, peel the backing from the double-sided tape and stick the sensor to the door jamb. Align the top of the sensor with the 4” mark as shown.

  • Note: Magnet and Sensor Positioning. The measurement shown is for reference only and can be adjusted depending on the vehicle application. The magnet needs to align with the sensor in order to operate. With the magnets in position and the power switched on, test the boards by opening each door independently to ensure proper step function. Once all magnet locations are confirmed and the system is operating correctly, mark the magnet positions and permanently install using the round double-sided tape. If the boards do not deploy, inspect the magnet position and realign with the sensor.

  • Step 19 : REAR DOOR Apply a vertically oriented strip of masking tape on the rear Driver side door using the door stopper as a reference point. Make a mark 3.5” below the center line of the latch. Prepare the surface by cleaning with a 50/50 mix of isopropyl alcohol and water or equivalent. Once the surface is completely dry, peel the backing from the double-sided tape and stick the magnet to the door. Align the top of the magnet with the 3.5” mark as shown.

  • Step 20: With the rear driver side sensor attached, using the door stopper as a reference point. Make a mark 3.5” below the center line of the latch. Prepare the surface by cleaning with a 50/50 mix of isopropyl alcohol and water or equivalent. Once the surface is completely dry, peel the backing from the double-sided tape and stick the magnet to the door. Align the top of the magnet with the 3.5” mark as shown.

  • Step 2 1: Repeat steps 13-21 to install the Passenger side door trigger sensors and magnets. The Passenger side door trigger harness is connected to the white wire that was routed under the carpet to the Passenger side b-pillar in Step 15.

  • Note: Magnet and Sensor Positioning. The measurement shown is for reference only and can be adjusted depending on the vehicle application. The magnet needs to align with
    the sensor in order to operate. With the magnets in position and the power switched on, test the boards by opening each door independently to ensure proper step function. Once all magnet locations are confirmed and the system is operating correctly, mark the magnet positions and permanently install using the round double-sided tape. If the boards do not deploy, inspect the magnet position and realign with the sensor.

  • Step 22: Locate the black wires for the disable switch and feed them to your desired mount location. Prepare the surface by cleaning with a 50/50 mix of isopropyl alcohol and water or equivalent. Once the surface is dry, peel the backing from the double-sided tape and stick the disable switch on the lower dash panel. Plug the disable switch connector into the black wire harness and tuck the extra wire behind the lower dash panel.

  • Step 23: Remove the 20 Amp fuses from the main positive and negative 12V power leads on the main harness. Route the power wires over the wheel well and into the engine compartment. Connect the ring terminals to the battery positive and negative terminals. Install the 20 Amp fuses back into the main negative and positive power lead fuse holders. Connect the battery terminals. Begin with the positive terminal followed by the negative terminal.

  • Step 24: Open the Driver side door and keep the door open. Flip the disable switch to the Off position. This will signal the running boards to retract to the stowed position and it will disable any further operation until the switch is flipped to the On position.

LIMITED WARRANTY

  • Go Rhino warrants to Buyer that for a period of five (5) years from the date of shipment of the product(s) (“Warranty Period”) for black finishes and chrome finishes, that such products will materially conform to the specifications set forth in Go Rhino’s specifications in effect as of the date of shipment(s) and will be free from material defects in material workmanship.
  • Go Rhino warrants to Buyer that for the life of the product(s) from the date of shipment of the product(s) (“Warranty Period”) for polished stainless steel finished products purchased after April 2004, that such products will materially conform to the specifications set forth in Go Rhino’s specifications in effect as of the date of shipments and will be free from material defects in material workmanship.
  • Warranty claims must be accompanied with the original invoice and photos of the product. It is the customer’s responsibility to clean regularly and protect finish with regular applications of a nonabrasive polish that is compatible with the product’s finish.
  • This warranty covers the cost of the product only and does not include the cost of removal, installation, third party modifications or shipping of the product. In no event shall Go Rhino be liable to buyer or any third party for any damage or harm caused by the product or use thereof, regardless of weather such damages were foreseeable and whether or not Go Rhino has been advised of the possibility of such damages, not withstanding the failure of any agreed or other remedy of its essential purpose. This warranty is void if the product shows signs of alteration, misuse, mishandling, improper care, neglect, improper application and/or damage due to improper installation.
  • With respect to any such product(s) during the limited warranty period, Go Rhino shall, in its sole discretion, either: (i) provide a one-time repair or replacement of such products (or the defective part) or (ii) credit or refund the price of such products at the pro rata contract rate provided that, if Go Rhino so requests, Buyer shall, at Go Rhino’s expense, return such product(s) to Go Rhino. The remedies shall be the Buyer’s sole and exclusive remedy and Go Rhino’s entire liability for any breach of the limited warrant(ies).
  • Go Rhino disclaims all other warranties except to the extent that any such warranty cannot be validly disclaimed under applicable law.

Finish Limited Warranty:

  • Limited lifetime on stainless steel products (after April 2004)
  • 5 year warranty on black powder coat products
  • 5 year warranty on chrome products
  • This warranty does not cover exposed welds
  • Finish warranty covers peeling, flaking, or cracking. Washing all finishes regularly with car wash soap and rinsing well with water is the best method for maintaining the finish on your products.

The use of any compound which contains abrasives becomes a self-defeating exercise as the compound scratches the finish and opens it to corrosion. The use of harsh chemicals used to remove bugs and tar may also cause the finish to fail and should be avoided.
