Install Instructions for CAI-75-5143

Step 1

Remove the battery cover from the vehicle by removing the twist rivets found in the 3 locations shown. To remove each screw, rotate the heads counter clockwise for a few rotations and then lift up.

Step 2

With the ignition switched off and the parking brake set, disconnect the negative battery harness on the battery. The battery must be disconnected for at least 2 hours to ensure proper functionality of the kit during use. Be sure to cover the end of the harness for the rest of the installation process so that it does not touch any part of the vehicle that acts as a ground point.

Note: Failure to disconnect the battery may cause the CEL to illuminate upon completion of the installation and subsequent operation. Do not skip this step!
