1. Extend the awning out to access the inside of the case or lead rail as required.
2. Disconnect power to the awning and LED.
3. Separate the LED connectors.
4. For lead rail LEDs:
4.1. The wire is routed along the top of the arm. Remove the harness from the arm channels.
4.2. At the case, clip the harness and clamp the harness at the case to prevent it from falling in the
vehicle wall.
4.3. Connect the new harness to the LED strip.
4.4. Route the harness through the wire channel in the arms. At the arm joints, arch the cable slightly
to avoid binding.
5. For all LEDs:
5.1. Route the new harness through the case and vehicle wall to the switch.
Tip: Tie the new harness to the old harness that was cut previously. Use the old harness to pull the new
harness through the wall to the desired location.
5.2. Seal the entrance hole and harness with a quality silicone sealant.
5.3. Connect the new harness to the switch. Two (2) .187, 18-24 awg female disconnects are provided if
connecting to a switch.
5.4.
Alternate method:
At the wall, splice the new harness to the existing harness using 24 awg butt
connectors. Push the connectors into the vehicle wall. Seal the entrance hole and wires with a quality
silicone sealant.
NOTE:
Be sure to allow enough harness from the arm to provide a slack in the harness and adequate
length for the connectors to be pushed inside before sealing the hole and harness with a quality silicone
sealant.
