Turn off all stereo and other electrical devices before you begin.
•
Disconnect the negative (-) lead from your vehicles battery.
•
Locate all fuel lines, brake lines, oil lines, and electrical cables when planning the install.
•
When connecting ground points, make sure all paint is carefully scrapped away from the body and
contact is made with bare metal.

When running power cables through sheet metal, be sure to use grommets to properly insulate the
metal edges from the wire insulation.
•
If possible, use tubing through grommets.

the battery on some vehicles may require an anti-theft code when reconnecting the battery and
