The Solenoid is located on the passenger side of the
vehicle under the seat and the Controller Splash Shield.
Early production vehicles had the solenoid hard wired
into the main electric harness; vehicles that have had
the solenoid replaced or were manufactured more
recently will have a solenoid that is completely separate
from the main electric harness. Check the vehicle to
determine which solenoid is present and then follow the
correct set of instructions for removal and replacement.
1. Disconnect the battery cable at the negative (-), BL-,
battery terminal using an insulated wrench.
2. Remove the controller splash shield; some vehicles
will have two torx head screws and one christmas tree
rivet, the remaining vehicles will have three christas
tree rivets securing the splash shield in place. After
removing the fasteners place the splash shield off to
the side out of the way.

2. Disconnect the red wire from the lower terminal on the
solenoid to B+ on the controller by removing the lower
hex nut (6).
