Connect the On-Off switch to the wiring harness installed in the floor of the cab. Leave switch in the On position, this will keep the motors in the extended position as installed to the vehicle when power is connected. Secure the On-Off switch wiring harness behind the dash to the drain plug under the carpet.
NOTE: Normal function of the On-Off switch once power has been connected to the positive and negative fused links on the battery. (On) the steps will extend for use and entering the vehicle. Steps will retract when both doors per side are closed connecting the magnet to the module. (Off) the steps will retract to the body of the vehicle even when the doors are open and the magnet is away from the module. -
Remove the interior trim panel on the passenger side of the vehicle (If interior trim is equipped with air bag, use caution). Connect the Brown signal wire from the wiring harness to terminal (A) on the module. Connect module wire (B) to the vehicle ground. Remove the double sided tape backing and place the front module (C) in a secure location to the inside of the door jamb. See Photo 7A.

Place the magnet on the vehicle door aligned with the module. (Shown on the passenger side) for aluminum door vehicles this can be done with painter’s tape to test and ensure it will work correctly. See Photos 8 and 9.
-
Ensure the On-Off switch is in the ON position. Now test the front and rear doors on the right and left side of the vehicle. If each one works correctly, the magnets are in line with the module. Mark the magnets position on each of the 4 doors, remove the covering from the double sided tape and stick the magnet to the door in the marked position.
NOTE: The On-Off switch will remain in the On position for normal use. We recommend the switch be in the Off position in icy or off reading conditions to prevent binding or damage to the step board, motor or motor bracket. -
Adjust the carpet into place and re-install the B-pillar trim, kick panel and the scuff plate on the driver and passenger side of the vehicle. See Photo 10.
