  1. Remove passenger side scuff plate and kick panel.

  2. (A) Connect the 4 plugs of the wiring harness to the controller assembly mounted to the body of the vehicle on the passenger side. See Photo 4. NOTE: Left harness plugs will need to go to the Right motors and vice versa.

  9. (B) Connect the LED light plugs on the passenger side.

  10. (E) Route the fused link harness along the passenger side frame up to the battery box, secure the wiring harness with the supplied wire ties away from heat or moving parts. Connect the fused links to the Positive and Negative side of the battery.

  11. 14. Remove the kick panel and the scuff plate on the driver side of the vehicle.

  12. Install the supplied wiring harness’ White and On/Off Switch wire through the rubber grommet in the floor of the vehicle. See Photo 5.

  13. NOTE: Apply waterproof tape to the wiring harness and the drain plug once the wiring harness has been fully installed.

  14. Mount the On-Off switch. Clean the area of installation and remove the covering on the double sided tape and apply it to the dash. Switch shown on the upper dash. See Photo 6.

  15. 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.

  16. 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. Remove the cover off of the double sided tape and place the place the rear module (C) in a secure location to the inside of the door jamb. See Photo 7B.

  17. Follow step 11 and install the driver side module using the white wire from the supplied wiring harness. Photos 7A and 7B are shown from the passenger side of the vehicle.
    NOTE: The magnets will be installed in a later step after the power has been connected.

  18. 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.

  19. 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.

  20. 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.

  21. Using the (On-Off) switch cycle the steps (2-3 Times) leave them in the down position. The switch will be in the (On) position.

  22. Tighten the step to the motor bracket using a 5mm Allen to 14ft/lbs.

  23. At this time, tighten the M8 x30 motor bracket bolt’s using a 10mm socket to 45ft/lbs.

  24. Use four (4) of the supplied M6x25mm socket cap screws to attach the board assembly to the driver side motors. Tighten with a 5mm Allen wrench. See Photo 11.

  25. Repeat for other side of vehicle

  26. If the there is an inconsistent gap along the installed board, loosen the rear motor and slide in or out to reduce the gap. If the front motor gap is larger than the rear motor gap, move the rear motor in towards the vehicle. If the rear motor gap is larger than the front motor gap, move the rear motor towards the outside of the vehicle
