Wiring Harness Install
Notes: The harness comes in two pieces. A smaller section
that you can run from the battery through the firewall that
connects into the large harness.
**Remove fuse from smaller harness prior to install
Working on the driver front, remove push in clips using a flat head
screwdriver or wire clippers. Keep or replace the push in retainers.
Move your driver seat all the way forward and tilt forward. Remove
retaining plastic push in heads. Carefully pry the upper b
-
panel board
and lower b
-
panel to allow access under them. Pull the front driver
protector panel towards rear of Jeep to remove off of retainer clips.
Unravel the small harness. Open the hood on the engine. Route wire
behind / against rear firewall from the battery on the left side to the
access point on the right.
Pull the fuse from the small harness, connect the smaller harness to
the battery, red to positive / black to negative. Locate rubber boot
on the right side about halfway down in the
engine compartment. Slit the rubber slightly.
Insert ends through hole and into cab of the
Jeep. Pull slightly taut and ensure wires are
not interfering with others in then engine bay
or under the steering column.
**
If you are having trouble pushing the
harness through, use a hard metal wire
and poke it through the hole as a guide
Unravel the large harness. Lay the harness out on the back seat with
the power leads on the driver side, the main 18 pin plug near the
passenger rear, and the end of the harness on the passenger side.
This will give you a rough idea of where your harness will be and how
you can make a clean install. Refer to figure 3.1 / 3.3 for layout.
Run the power and ground
leads and the three insulated
connectors next to the current
electrical under the panels you
removed in the prior steps
Keep the wires tucked away and
behind the seatbelt mechanism.
Run the power and ground wire up
behind the metal
guard and connect.
Install the cutoff switch. Drill a 3/4” using the step up drill or 3/4”
drill bit hole into a desired position on the
dash or kick panel. Final install will be
similar to the picture shown.
We recommend mounting to this location
for ease of access.
Leave the hole open until end of install.
With the hole drilled on the dash, run the insulated wires up behind
your panel and through the
hole. Locate a bolt to install
the ground wire behind
the steering column against
the tub of the jeep.
Remove nut off the bolt.
Put the hole of the ground
over the bolt and re
-
install
the nut.
Plug the insulated wires into
the back of the cutoff
switch. Black wire to
the bronze, and red wire
the other two points.
Do not
push into hole in
the dash yet.
