3. Make a note of where all the harnesses 

attach, then disconnect them (figure 6).

Replacement

1. Connect all harness to their proper con-

nectors (figure 6).

2. Hook the lower edge of the power panel 

onto the bottom of the cutout in the mon-
etary panel.

3. Tilt the power panel up until the top lip is 

against the monetary panel.

4. Secure with the screw you removed ear-

lier.
