3). Before drilling, make certain you will not damage any wiring
or components on the other side.
Note: if the vehicle is equipped with optional audio/video
connectors, drill the hole in the rear panel of the center console.
Remove a corresponding amount of insulation to clear a space
for the switch.
7.
Note that the wiring at the back of the switch (Figure 4) is
in two pairs, on either side of the divider bar (Figure 4).
Remove the wiring from the switch by pulling on each
connector (Figure 4) until they separate from their terminals.
Note: if the connectors are difficult to remove, move them
back and forth against the terminals as you pull out.
Remove the mounting nut (Figure 4).
8.
Position the switch in the hole you drilled, with the blank
space (Figure 4) at the top.
Reattach the mounting nut with the serrated edge toward
the switch. Hand-tighten only.
9.
From the battery, feed the end of the FuseMaster harness
with the connectors under the carpet and toward the center
console. Pull the harness through the hole at the rear of the
console and up to the switch.
Reattach the four connectors so that one pair of wires is
on either side of the divider bar.
Do not reinstall the center console panel until you have
tested for proper operation.
10.
At the battery, attach the two pins (Figure 5) at the end
of the FuseMaster harness to the empty fuse holder which is
farthest away. Attach the other two pins to the remaining empty
fuse holder.
Press in on the pins until they are fully seated.
11.
Insert the fuses you removed from the battery cable into
the FuseMaster holders — the pins with the black wires are
connected to the upper fuse holder; the pins with the red wires
are connected to the lower fuse holder (Figure 5).
Note: if the fuses are not identical, insert them into the
FuseMaster holders which correspond to their original hold-
ers.
Figure 6 shows a typical installation.
12.
After you have confirmed proper operation in both the
“drive” and “tow” positions (see below), reinstall the rear panel
of the center console, the bezel surrounding the 12-volt outlet
and the battery compartment cover.
Operating instructions
When the top part of the switch is depressed it is in the
“drive” position; when the bottom part of the switch is de-
pressed it is in the “tow” position (inset, Figure 6).
Mount the included “Drive” and “Tow” stickers at the appro-
priate sides of the switch.
Never flip the switch to the “tow” position while driv-
ing. If the switch is flipped, the electrical functions of
the switch FuseMaster has replaced will be lost.
A loss of power steering, power brakes and/or a loss
of vehicular control may result.
Failure to follow these instructions may cause property
damage, personal injury or even death.
Troubleshooting
If FuseMaster fails to operate as described, confirm that…
• …the pins (FIgure 5) are fully seated in the correct position
in each fuse holder and they are not touching each other;
• …the connectors (Figure 4) are properly attached to the
back of the switch; and
• …there is a properly-installed fuse in both of the FuseMas-
ter holders and the fuses are not blown.
