1. 

Determine the final layout of the switches and the control box and mark the locations. 

NOTE: 

When using only the wire harnesses furnished, the maximum distance from the cable 
point of entry to the relay module is 48”.  Maximum distance from the relay module to 
the switches is 16”. 

2.  For installations using the cables with direct 

connections (no external plug): 

2.1 

(Refer to Figure 10) 

 Drill two 5/16” holes 

through the vehicle wall for the motor cable 
and exterior switch cable.  Move the cables 
out of the way to avoid damage while drilling. 

2.2  Route the cables through the holes to the 

location of the relay module. 

2.3  Seal the cables and holes using a silicone 

sealant. 

2.4  Go to step 4. 

3.  For installations using an external wall mount 

plug/receptacle: 

3.1  Drill a 7/8” hole through the exterior wall in the 

location shown in Figure 11.  Adjust the 
location within the area to avoid structure, 
cabinetry etc. 

3.2  Using a 3-wire cable and a 2-wire cable, 

terminate the wire ends with the female 
terminals provided. 

3.3  Pull the terminated wires out through the hole. 

3.4 

(Refer to Figure 13, Detail A) 

 Insert the 

terminated wire ends into the back of the 
receptacle. 

3.5  Coat the backside of the receptacle flange with 

silicone sealant and insert the receptacle into 
the hole. 

3.6  Secure the receptacle using 4 #6 x 1/2 screws.

4. 

(Refer to Figure 12)

  At the switch panel location, use a 2 1/4” hole saw and cut 2 holes 1 1/2” apart. 

5.  Separate the wires from the relay module into 3 groups: 

•

  Brown, yellow and gray with spade terminals (interior switch), 

•

  Black and red with spade terminals (interior power switch), 

•

  Connector bundle with: 

Brown, yellow and gray (exterior switch), and
