The lightbar is completely wired at the factory and does not require any additional internal
wiring. All the conductors necessary to control the lightbar’s functions are contained in the cable.
Installation of options requires additional wiring to the warning light system and vehicle battery.
An installer-supplied switch or relay rated at 30 A is required for the connection between the JLX
red power lead and the fused power source. If additional wire length is needed, splice wire of
the same gauge or heavier to the leads

AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT
Do not install equipment or route wiring in the deployment path of an airbag.
Failure to observe this warning will reduce the effectiveness of the airbag, damage the
airbag or potentially dislodge the equipment, causing serious injury to you or others.
1. Route the control cable into the vehicle and under the dash, near the eventual location of
the installer-supplied control head. Apply sealant to all drilled holes.
2. For proper lightbar operation, the control cable must be properly terminated inside the install-
er-supplied control head. The current capacities of the switch for the control head should be
at least 15 A. See Table 3.1 on page 14 for the wire colors and functions.
PROPER GROUNDING
The lightbar WILL NOT light up or flash if it is improperly grounded. Be sure that
the lightbar is connected to a good vehicle ground.
Failure to observe this warning can lead to equipment failure and may result in
serious injury or death to you or others.
3. Connect the black 10 AWG ground lead to a good battery or chassis ground.
SPARK HAZARD
If wires are shorted to the vehicle frame or each other, high current conductors
can cause hazardous sparks resulting in electrical fires and molten metal.
Verify that no short circuits exist before connecting to the positive (+) battery
terminal.
