Step 1
Turn power to the running board system off
by turning off the cut-off switch.
Strip the insulation from the ends of both wires
on each push button extension harness. Insert
the bare wires into the spade terminals and
crimp the narrow end over the bare wires.
Step 2
Choose a location for the push button switch.
We recommend the plastic trim piece on the
door pillar.
If this is the location you choose, remove
the plastic trim piece to install the switch.
Step 3
Drill a hole for the switch in the trim piece. We
recommend using a step-up drill bit to get the
tightest fit. If a step-up bit is not available, use
a 7/8" drill bit.
Drill the hole until the switch will push in with
slight resistance. Push the switch into the hole
from the top down. The switch will secure itself.

Step 4
Unplug the door sensor from the running board
wiring harness. Install the T-wiring harness
in-line between the door sensor and the
running board wiring harness.
With the T-wiring harness in-line, connect
the push button extension harness.
Step 5
Connect the push button switch from step 3
to the extension harness, as shown.
Note: Polarity is not important. The wire may
be connected to either terminal of the switch.
Reinstall the plastic trim, making sure all
the wires are secured out of the way.
Repeat this entire process for additional doors.
Note: If a manual button is only being installed
for the front doors but the rear doors are
also removed, the rear sensors must be
disconnected for the system to operate.
Turn the running board system back on. With
the doors open, the door delete-switch should
deploy and retract the steps when pushed.
When the doors are back on the vehicle, the
switch must be in the correct position to allow
the door sensors to work. If nothing happens
when you open or close the door, push the
button and try again.
