connections to prevent corrosion. Fill receptacles
and lightly coat ring terminals and blades before
assembly.
3. Remove damaged or defective vehicle harness
from vehicle. Note original harness routing and
connections while removing.
4. Stretch the rectangular opening of the plug cover
strap over the replacement vehicle harness
connector. Place the plug cover over the
connector.

harness break out to the area behind the left-side
headlamp. Route the rest of harness to the firewall.
6. Route the harness breakout with the orange/ black

wires to the motor relay.
7. Install the brown/red stripe and brown/green stripe
wires to the small terminals of the motor relay.
8. Connect the female spade terminal on the small
red wire from the vehicle harness to the male
spade terminal on the small red wire from the
vehicle battery cable.
9. Connect the orange/black stripe ring lug to the
negative (-) battery terminal.
10. Remove the packing material from the end of the
harness near the fuse. This will expose ten socket-
type terminals.
11. Push the fuse through the firewall hole and then
feed the end of the harness with the ten terminals
through to the cab. Use a grommet to seal the
firewall around the harness.
Batteries normally produce explosive gases
which can cause personal injury. Therefore, do
not allow flames, sparks or lit tobacco to come
near the battery. When charging or working
near a battery, always cover your face and
protect your eyes, and also provide ventilation.
Batteries contain sulfuric acid which burns skin,
eyes and clothing.
Disconnect the battery before removing or
replacing any electrical components.
