1. Put the vehicle in park. Turn Key to “OFF” position and
remove from the vehicle. Never work on a hot vehicle, as
severe burns can occur.
2. Remove Drivers seat. Disconnect the black negative
battery cable from battery. Disconnect the red positive
battery cable from battery.
3. Remove the hood from the vehicle.
4. Remove the two screws in the upper instrument panel and
disconnect the ignition, headlight switch, assessor plug,
AWD switch and any other accessory controls that may
have been added.
5. Remove center storage compartment support bracket.
Then remove the center storage compartment. (Picture 1)
6. Using the firewall heater hose template (Template 1) mark
center of each hole using a sharp punch or awl. From
inside of firewall drill holes using a 1 3/8” hole saw. (Picture
2) Be sure to check on the radiator side of the firewall for
any obstructions prior to drilling.
7. Use mounting bracket template (Template 2) secure
template onto the firewall (Picture 3) and drill 5/16” holes
for bracket screws. Be sure to check for obstructions on
the radiator side of the firewall before drilling.
8. Loosely install hose clamps (P) onto heater hoses (D).
Remove the rubber stoppers from the heater core pipes on
the heater (A) and place hoses on pipes, slide clamps (P)
into position and tighten hose clamps.
9. Attach large wiring harness (F) to fan plug from heater
assembly (A) . Also attach small wiring harness from the
resistor on the heater assembly (A) to the two remaining
plugs in the large wiring harness.
10. Lower the heater assembly (A) into the dash where the
storage compartment support bracket was removed.
(Picture 4)
11. Make sure the straight grill is positioned at the bottom of
the heater assembly (A) and the bracket is next to the
firewall.
12. Fasten bracket to the firewall with screws (M) securing with
nuts (N). Be sure to route all wiring away from any sharp
edges.
13. Route heater hoses through 1 3/8” holes in firewall. Install
grommets (E) onto each hose. A small amount of lubricant
may be used to aid in installation.

Rev. 1 1215
14. Seat grommets (E) into holes of firewall. Make
sure to position hoses so there are no kinks.
15. Route large wiring harness (F) through existing
hole in firewall (Picture 3 shows existing hole)
10. Mark a spot on the radiator hose on the engine
coolant return side. Mark a spot on the radiator
hose on the engine coolant supply side. (Picture 5)
These are your center marks and where you will
place the Y connectors (G).
11. Use 3 sets of hose pliers to displace the engine
coolant and make the radiator hose easier to cut.
Place the 1st set of hose pliers 4” to the left of the
center mark. Place the 2nd set of hose pliers on
the center mark. Place the 3rd set of hose pliers 4”
to the right of the center mark.
12. Place a catch pan under the hose to be cut, to catch
coolant that may be trapped between pliers.
13. Using hose cutters, make a straight cut on the mark
at the 2nd set of pliers. You may need to cut and
remove a section of the radiator hose to maintain
adequate clearance from other components.
Remove the center hose pliers.
14. Install a Y connector (G) with the 5/8” side pointing
upward. Secure with two large hose clamps (O).
(Picture 6).
15. Measure the length needed for heater hoses to the
Y connector (G) and trim off any excess heater hose
length with hose cutters.
18. Install heater hose from heater assembly (A) to
5/8” end of the Y connector (G) and secure with
small hose clamp (P). Clamp heater hose near Y
connector (G) with hose pliers, before removing
hose pliers from radiator hose .
19. Repeat steps 11 through 18 on the other marked
radiator line.
20. Check all hose connections making sure all hose
clamps are tight.Remove all hose pliers.

21. Locate a position on the upper instrument panel to
install the defrost vent (I). Secure the template (3)
in place and cut the instrument panel along the
dotted line. Be sure to check for clearance and
obstructions before cutting. Place two flex hose
clips (K) on the backside of the vent and install
defrost vent.
22. Secure the templates (4) on the panel above the
center console to install two of the square vents (J).
(Picture 7) Cut the console along the dotted line.
Place two flex hose clips (K) on the backside of
each of the vents and install square vents.
23. Locate a space on the side firewall behind the
steering column on the driver’s side for heat at
your feet. Use two self-tapping screws (S) to
mount the square vent bracket (L). (Shown in white
in Picture 8).
24. Place two hose clips (K) on the backside of the third
square vent (J) and place in the vent bracket (L).
(Picture 9 in black).
25. Cut flex hose (H) into four lengths. Attach these
four flex hoses (H) to the pre-clipped heater ducts
on the heater assembly (A) (Picture 10).
27. Attach flex hoses (H) from heater assembly (A) to
the vents, as follows. The two flex hoses closest to
the console panel connect to flex hose clips on the
two square vents in the center console. The upper
right flex hose connects to the flex hose clips on
the defrost vent in the upper instrument panel and
upper left flex hose connects to the flex hose clips
on the driver’s side square vent. Use wire cutters
on flex heater hose to size to fit.
28. Use 11mm drill and make a hole in the side of the
instrument panel for the fan switch. Be sure to
check for any obstructions before drilling. Place
the star washer (Q) on the fan switch (B). Insert
fan switch (B) into the hole and secure with locking
washer (R). (Picture 11)
29. Place the decal (C) over the switch and place knob
(B) on the switch. (Picture 12). Connect the wiring
harness to the rear of the fan switch.

30. Reconnect the battery. Do NOT Start Engine.
31. Locate the Terminal or Fuse Block. (Picture 13 is
typical). The wiring harness (F) has 3 wires, a
red power wire, a yellow ignition/accessory
wire and a black ground wire. Using a Voltage
meter or Test Light, with the ignition switch off,
test the terminals in the terminal block. The
terminal that is live is for the red wire. Next,
turn the ignition on (Do not start engine) and
re-test the remaining terminals. The next live
terminal is for the yellow wire, while the dead
terminal is for the black ground wire. Connect
the wiring harness (F). Turn ignition off and re-
test the yellow wire, to ensure that you have
connected it correctly (ie. to a terminal that
shuts off when the ignition is turned off).
32. Remove the radiator cap. Fill cooling system
with coolant and BLEED AIR* FROM THE
SYSTEM according to the service manual.
33. Run engine through two complete radiator fan
cycles. Allow to cool and top off engine coolant
recovery bottle
34. Periodically check coolant during the first
couple hours of operations.
