section free; this may require the panel removal tool.
7. Locate the power outlet. Disconnect the power outlet harness and connect the accessory power harness to
that connector. Insert the other accessory power harness connector into the disconnected plug.
8. Connect t-harness and route accessory wires as indicated:
a. Red of the T-Harness, to the accessory turn on of the controller.

12. Using a semi-rigid wire fishing tool, insert the wire tool in the cavity of the center console just in
front of the carpet snap. Fish the cable from the driver side tube across the center console to the
passenger side.
13. Connect the drivers side LED tube wire, and position and mark the included brackets for the driver
knee bar.
14. Connect cable, and route under the driver seat using the same process as the passenger side.
15. Locate passengers side firewall plug, and route the yellow battery wire into this port. (we
