INSTALLING THE
STATUS INDICATOR
The status indicator goes inside your
vehicle’s passenger compartment. Ei-
ther drill a mounting hole in a dash
panel or use the supplied mounting
bracket to hold the indicator. Follow
these steps to install the indicator.
1. Locate an existing wire harness
that goes through your vehicle’s
firewall, and push the indicator
into the passenger compartment
through the existing hole.
If you cannot find an existing wire
harness, drill a
1 /
4
-inch hole
through the firewall into the pas-
senger compartment. Then push
the indicator through the hole.
Cautions:
• Before drilling, be sure you can
reach the other side of the
hole.
• Do not drill into any mecha-
nism on the other side of the
firewall.
• Protect the wire by placing a
rubber grommet (not supplied)
in the hole, and route the wire
through the grommet.
2. If you are using the supplied
mounting bracket, use dena-
tured alcohol to clean the mount-
ing surface and let the surface
dry completely. Peel the backing
off of one side of the double-
sided tape and press it onto the
bottom of the bracket. Then peel
off the adhesive backing from the
other side of the tape and press
the bracket onto the dash.
If you are mounting the indica-
tor in the dash, drill a
5 /
16
-inch
hole at the desired location.
3. Press the supplied grommet into
the mounting hole from the front
of the surface.
4. Press the indicator into the grom-
met from the back of the surface.
5. Plug the indicator’s harness into
the matching harness on the sys-
tem.
6. Use the supplied wire tie to
secure the wire out of the way.
7. If you drilled a hole in the firewall,
use silicon sealant (not supplied)
to waterproof the hole.
