Step 1 Starting on the driver side, locate the five mounting locations underneath the vehicle. This installation will use the first, second, fourth and fifth mounting tabs. Note: Each bracket is specific to a mounting location. Refer to page 1 product image for correct locations. Step 2 Starting at the front driver-side mounting location, locate the threaded hole on the inside of the body panel and place an L-bracket on to that panel.
PAGE 4
Step 4 Locate the fifth mounting tab from step 1. Insert an M8 clip nut through the access hole and align it over the adjacent smaller hole. Place an L-bracket on to the body panel. Attach one standard mounting bracket to the L-bracket and vehicle using an M8 hex bolt, flat washer and lock washer. Attach the pinch weld with a 5/16" flat washer and nylock nut. Attach a step bracket using two 7/16" hex bolts, two 7/16" lock washers, two 7/16" flat washers and two 7/16" hex nuts.

Step 7 Remove the fuse from the wiring harness before installing. Once the fuse is removed, take that section of the wiring harness and attach it to the battery. Route the opposite end of the harness through the firewall into the cab of the vehicle. Zip-tie the wiring harness in place once it is in the desired location. Step 8 Remove the front and rear door trim panels on both sides of the vehicle. Note: Remove any other vehicle components that could interfere with the wiring harness.

Step 9 Wiring Locations Driver Once the trim panels are removed, take the second section of wiring harness and route it under the carpet, through the vehicle, from the passenger-side rear to the desired location. Passenger Refer to the diagrams below.

Step 10 On the driver side, take the power wire and sensor wire (orange / yellow) and route it to the front of the vehicle underneath the carpet. If there is no plug in the floor behind the driver seat, skip to step 11. If there is a plug in the floor behind the driver seat continue this step. Take the driver-side rear actuator (red / black) and the LED light (brown / tan) and route it through the floor plug behind the driver seat.

Step 13 Plug the door sensor into the wiring harness and route it up the door frame, under the carpet. Note: Depending on the vehicle, you may need to use the supplied sensor harness extensions for the two front door sensors. Once the harness and sensor are routed to the desired location, wipe the sensor and door with the provided alcohol wipe. Place two pieces of 1/2" x 1/2" double- sided tape on the sensor and attach the sensor to the vehicle. Repeat this process for the other three doors.

Step 15 Locate a spot to install the power switch. Drill a hole in the panel with a 3/4" drill bit and wire into place. WARNING: Confirm there are no wires behind the panel prior to drilling. IMPORTANT: Be sure to plug the blue female wires into the silver male ends and the red female wire into the bronze male end. Step 16 Once all wiring is installed, plug in the circuit board and place it underneath the carpet under the rear passenger seat.

TROUBLESHOOTING & REGISTRATION Troubleshooting I just installed my steps and they are not coming down when I open the door. My switch is getting power, but the light stays on in both positions. Double check the connections. Check the fuse to make sure it is plugged in. Is the on / off switch getting power? Is the circuit board plugged in? Are the door sensors plugged in? The light is only supposed to be on when the system is turned on. If it is lit in both positions simply switch the red wires on the back.
