3. Carefully tape the 3 loose control plug terminals and

wire to the harness to ease harness routing. Tape the
terminals to the end of the harness, away from the
solemoid assembly.

4. Route the harness through the hole in the front of the

rear frame.

5. Using a wire, hook the front plug of the harness and

carefully pull it through the tube to the front of the
vehicle (above the tow bar).

Note: To ease in routing the harness, have one person
feeding the harness into the tube while another person is
pulling. Use caution not to damage the harness end when
pulling.

Installing the Control Plug

1. Remove the tape from the terminals and wire. Loop the

control plug back into the tube at the front of the
vehicle and feed it up through the harness opening
below the dash (Fig. 2).

2. Using the control plug as a template, locate and mark

the holes in the glove box in the approximate location
shown in Figure 3. Remove the control plug and drill a

0.95 diameter hole using a 61/64 in. drill bit and (2)

0.201 diameter holes using a #7 drill bit in the side of
the glove box as shown in Figure 3.
