9. Connect EC mirror harness to ground.
a) You will need to locate an accessible ground wire. Find a ground bolt
that goes into the frame with an OEM wire attached. (Fig. 2-13)
NOTE: Your automotive repair shop may be able to advise readily available loca-
tions for connecting to an appropriate ground.
b) Using IDC Wire Tap, connect BLACK wire of the EC mirror harness to
the located ground wire in the vehicle. (Fig. 2-14)
c) See “IDC Wire Tap Procedure” on Page 2, for detailed instructions on
tapping into OEM harness with IDC connector.
10. Continue routing remaining EC mirror harness to rear of vehicle
(green wire and video harness).
a) Route remaining EC mirror harness down to kick panel and along
driver-side scuff plate.
b) Use wire ties or foam tape where appropriate to ensure harness won’t
rattle. Secure harness away from pinch points, sharp edges, and trim
panel clips. (Fig. 2-15)
c) Route EC mirror harness behind B-pillar trim and back to rear quarter
panel or trunk area.
d) Use wire ties or foam tape where appropriate to ensure harness won’t
rattle. Secure harness away from pinch points, sharp edges, and trim
panel clips. (Fig. 2-16)
NOTE: If possible, route the EC mirror harness behind the B-pillar trim without
removing. B-pillar generally contains seatbelt, which makes it hard to remove.
