Adjust console so that there is approximately 3-1/2” overhang in door 
well. Close doors 

carefully 

to check clearance. Check both sides and 

adjust until unit is square with van. (See photos)

 

 

Check under van and identify any 
critical components or frame 
members that could be damaged 
before drilling holes to mount 
console. Drill four 3/8” holes 
through base of console and floor 
of van. Drop a bolt into each hole 
as you drill to prevent shifting.

 

In order to assure a good 
electrical ground between console 
and vehicle, use a split lock 
washer between frame and flat 
washer. The lock washer will cut 
into paint and provide a good 
connection. Do this on all 4 bolts.

 

Place split lock washers between 
fender washer and floor of 
van. Lock washers will cut into 
metal van body to achieve a solid 
ground connection. Failure to do 
so could result in starting 
problems and other electrical 
issues.

 

You may have to bend a heat 
shield out of the way to access 
bolts. Check carefully before you 
drill.

 

Sometimes it is necessary to drill 
through part of the van frame. If 
so, you will have to use 4” bolts 
at those locations.

 

Connect wires from waste tank shutoff switch to wires in back of 
console with spade terminals.
