1. Begin by disconnecting the battery from the vehicle. Start with the negative battery terminal, then the positive battery ter-
minal.
2. On both the driver and passenger side of the vehicle, remove the front door sill trim panel and the B-Pillar trim panel by
carefully pulling on the panels enough to release them from the plastic retaining clips. See Figures 1 through 3 for refer-
ence.
3. With the panels removed, pull the front driver side carpet back by carefully pulling up on the plastic carpet retainers. Drill
a 7/16” opening into the location shown, and feed the door trigger signal white and brown wires and the two black manual
switch wires into the cab of the vehicle. See Figures 2, 4, & 5 for reference. Note: To avoid possible water intrusion, it is
recommended to use RTV Silicone Adhesive to seal the opening once the wires are fed into the cab.

4. Route the driver side brown door trigger wire to the driver side B-Pillar, and the passenger side white door trigger wire
under the front driver side carpet, the center console, the front passenger side carpet, and to the passenger side B-Pillar.
5. With the B-Pillar panels removed, locate the seat belt assembly on the driver’s side and loosen the top bolt shown. Locate
the Magnetic Induction Module (Item 9) and mount the ground wire fork under the top bolt of the seat belt assembly to
provide a ground connection for the Magnetic Induction Module. Once grounded, connect the snap-in bullet connector on
the module to the brown trigger wire previously routed to the driver side B-Pillar. See Figure 6 through 8 for reference.
6. Prepare the “sticking” surfaces on both sides of the B-Pillar by using a damp rag with a mix of isopropyl alcohol and water
to clean the surface. Once the surface is completely dry, remove the backing from the Magnetic Induction Module, and
“stick” them onto both sides of the B-Pillar as shown in Figures 9 & 10. Note: Pay close attention to where the Magnetic
Induction Modules are placed on the door jambs of the vehicle.
7. Using a measuring tape and masking tape, take reference of where the Magnetic Induction Modules have been placed on
the front driver side door jamb and rear driver side door jamb so that the magnets can be placed accordingly on the door
strikers. Once a reference point has been taken, place the reference masking tape onto the driver side door striker and rear
driver side door striker, respectively, and prepare the surface on the door strikers by using a damp rag with a mix of isopro-
pyl alcohol and water to clean the surface. Once the surface is completely dry, peel the backing from the magnets and
“stick” them to the reference location on the door striker. See Figures 11 & 12 for reference.
8. Repeat Steps 5 through 7 for the white trigger wire that was previously routed to the passenger side B-Pillar.
Note: Pay attention to measurements and positions shown for the Magnetic Induction Module and magnets. The magnet must
align with the corresponding module sensor to ensure the motor linkages function properly. If the boards are not deploying
once all of the wiring is connected, inspect and ensure that the magnets align with their corresponding module sensor.
Wires routed into the drilled open-
ing on the front driver side carpet.

9. Locate the manual switch (Item 8) and prepare the desired mounting surface by using a damp rag with a mix of isopropyl
alcohol and water to clean the surface. Once the surface is dry, mount the manual switch to the desired location by remov-
ing the backing from the double sided tape and applying pressure to “stick” the switch onto the desired surface. See Figure
13 for reference. Note: It is recommended that the manual switch is in an accessible location on the driver’s side lower
dash panel.
10. Route the two black manual switch wires to the manual switch. Connect the two wires and neatly tuck or zip tie the extra
wiring away so that the switch cannot be tugged or pulled accidentally.
11. Moving back to the wiring underneath the vehicle, route the two fused power wires towards the front of the vehicle. Pull
back the driver side fender liner and feed the fused power wires into the engine compartment. Remove the two fuses from

12. Route the electrical harness to the designated locations of the control module and motor linkages. Route the corresponding
male connector plug to where the corresponding female connector will be per the labeling on the harness. For example, the
male connector labeled “Front Left,” will be routed to the front driver side of the vehicle, and the “Front Right” should be
routed to the front passenger side of the vehicle. The male connectors for the control module will be routed to the center
drivers side. See Figures 16 through 19 for reference. Note: The mounting brackets with the female connectors, and the
Control Module (Item 6) will be installed after the wiring is routed. For now, the male connectors are only routed to the
corresponding locations.
13. Locate the LED Lights (Item 12). Align the arrow from the LED Light male connector to the arrow on the female connect-
or on the main wiring harness. Prepare the designated mounting surface on the vehicle frame rail or on the body of the ve-
hicle by cleaning it with the provided alcohol wipes, and allow the surface to dry completely before peeling the backing off
of the double sided tape and “sticking the LED lights to the designated mounting surface. See Figures 20 through 22 for
