4.0 PRE-INSTALLATION AND HARNESS ROUTING GUIDELINES
The installation of your harness kit will consist of two parts:
~
The physical routing, positioning, securing, group/ individual wires and connectors.
~
The proper electrical connection of the individual circuits.
We cannot tell you how to route the harness in your automobile. That depends a great deal upon the
particular make of the automobile and what extent you want to secure and conceal the harness. We
do offer some general guidelines and routing practices starting in Paragraph 5.3, general
installation instructions in Section 5.0, and precise instruction concerning the electrical connections
you will have to make beginning in Section 6.0. To help you begin thinking through the installation
of your wire harness, read the following sections:
4.1 TRANSMISSION FUNCTION
If you are using a manual transmission, read Paragraph 4.1.1, then skip to the note
at the end of the section. If you are using the 4L60E, 4L65E, 4L80E, or 4L85E, then skip
Paragraph 4.1.1, and start at paragraph 4.1.2.
