10. INSTALL THE WIRING

In the drivers side forward cabinet drill a ½” hole thru the sidewall of bed box about 1 inch in front of and level with
the wiring exit hole in the retractable bed cover canister. (Fig. 10A)
Deburr the hole on both sides of the cabinet wall and push wires from canister into cabinet.
Slice through the rubber grommet and wrap it around the wire harness. Work the grommet into the ½” hole and
pull the wire harness through to eliminate most of the slack. (Fig. 10B)
In the forward drivers cabinet, plug the wires together from the Canister Wire Harness to the Electronics Control
Box
The wires are staggered in length to ease installation through the cabinet wall, plug the wires together by color.

Plug the Control Switch Wire Harness into the 2-wire plug (Without the rubber cover) (Purple/ Green).
Route the wire harness back to the tailgate end, rear cabinet area using any existing openings that are
available.
You may need to drill between the cabinets for wire harness routing.
Use the wire clips and wire ties provided by peeling the double back tape and sticking it in place to position the
wire harness as needed.
Secure the wire harness with zip ties.
Determine where you want to mount the Control Switch and drill a ½” hole (Deburr hole on both sides of cabinet
wall)

.

Mount the Control Switch.
Attach the black ground wire to the center post on the Control Switch and drill or attach ring connector to a ground
(using the #8 3/4 pan square tek screw) Figure 10D.
Plug the Grey and Purple wires to the other 2 posts
(If the switch operates the cover the opposite direction that you prefer, you only need to switch the Grey
and Purple wires to correct it)
