STARTING YOUR INSTALLATION 
 

Installation time: Approximately 60 minutes 
 
Mount the Power Distribution Center (PDC) 
 
 

Choose a suitable location to mount the PDC.  The ideal location is in the 

rear of the truck inside the toolbox.  The four mounting feet can be mounted to 
the sides or the top and bottom of the PDC enclosure.  It is best to mount the 
PDC with the strain reliefs and wired/wireless button facing down.  Remove the 
cover from the PDC. 

Typical mounting location of Power Pal™ 

 
 
 

NOTE:  Leave enough clearance to route all of your input and 
output wires to the PDC enclosure. 

 

Install the Output Harness w/Power Wires 

 
 

Connect the output harness to the 16 pin Amp connector.  The color code 

chart on page 5 describes the color codes and functions of the output harness.  
The power wires are also included in the harness, the #10 AWG BLACK wire is 
for ground (-GND), the #10Awg RED is for power (+12V). 
Take caution when connecting the power wires and the output wires. Incorrect 
connections may cause harm to the unit. 
 

Connect the ground wire 

 

Connect the #10 AWG black ground wire from the harness to the ground 

terminal inside the PDC.  Attach the opposite end of the black ground wire to the 
J-Box  ground connection or a clean metal to metal chassis ground, tighten 
securely. 

IMPORTANT- 

(

Do not connect to the sub frame, but to the truck’s chassis)  

Protect the chassis ground connection with a light coating of grease to prevent 
corrosion.
