Lokar LED Boot Indicator - Manual

Building American Quality… With A Lifetime Warranty!
General Installation Notes:
Please read instructions completely before beginning installation. If you
have any questions please call.
Before starting installation, scotch vehicle tires to avoid accidental
movement of the vehicle. Do not attempt to install this product while the
engine is running. Disconnect negative battery cable before beginning
installation.
Make sure the engine, transmission, and frame are properly grounded.
Refer to Fig. 1 for the component names. The Lokar round boot is designed for a
maximum tunnel opening of 4" in diameter. The rectangular boot is designed to
work with a maximum opening size of 4" x 5-1/4".
The vertical style indicator is designed for the indicator to be on the left side of
the shifter. The horizontal style indicator is designed for the indicator to be to the
rear of the shifter.
Step 1: Remove the shift knob and jam nut from the shifter lever. Any
existing shifter boot and ring should be removed also.
Step 2: Decide where you want the boot ring to be positioned on the
transmission tunnel. Temporarily place the boot ring on the
tunnel, and make sure that the position of the boot ring will not
interfere with the full range of movement of the shifter lever.
Step 3: Determine how you are going to route the indicator wiring harness to
the decoder box, control module, or sensor. The wiring may be routed
underneath the carpet or a console, or you may route it into the
tunnel underneath the vehicle.
Step 4: Mark the locations of the screw holes in the boot ring onto your
transmission tunnel. If routing the indicator wiring harness into the
tunnel underneath the vehicle, also mark the location of the hole for
the wiring harness. Remove the boot ring, center punch the marks,
and drill the screw holes using a 1/8" drill bit.
If you are routing the indicator wiring harness into the tunnel, you will
need to protect the harness with a grommet (not included) where it
passes through the sheet metal. Measure the grommet, and drill an
appropriate-sized hole for the grommet in the tunnel.
Step 5: Install the shifter boot onto the shifter lever. On a
rectangular shifter boot, make sure the seams in the
shifter boot match up to the corners of the boot ring.
Note that the shifter boot has long and short sides,
just like the boot ring. On a round shifter boot, make
sure the seams are oriented where you want them.
Step 6: Decide how high you want the top of the shifter boot
to be on your shifter lever. Lokar shifter boots are
designed to fit a wide range of shifter lengths, and
may be trimmed to a shorter length if necessary.
Step 7: Install the boot ring over the shifter lever and shifter
boot. Turn up the bottom edge of the shifter boot,
stretching and flipping the bottom edge of the shifter
boot inside out so it wraps around the outside edge
of the boot ring.
Fig. 2 Get the boot ring positioned
correctly against the top of the tunnel.
Step 8: At this point, we recommend that you remove
the boot ring and apply spray adhesive or contact
cement to the underside of the boot ring, but it is not
required.
Cut a slit in the boot for the indicator wiring harness
to fit through. If you removed the boot ring to apply
adhesive, reinstall the boot ring onto the shifter boot.
Install the provided #8 x 1" boot ring screws through
the boot ring, the shifter boot, and into the tunnel.
Step 9: If there is excess boot material protruding outside of
the boot ring, use a sharp knife to remove it.
Install the shifter knob following the instructions
provided with the knob.
See Fig. 3 for examples of completed installations.
Step 10: Use the appropriate transmission wiring diagram to
connect the indicator wiring harness to the decoder
box, control module or sensor.
Fig. 4, Fig. 5, or
Fig. 6 Make sure the wires are not routed next to
any sharp edges.
The indicator will light up the gear that is selected,
and all other gear positions will be out.
Fig. 3 If
using a Lokar cable operated sensor, the decoder
box must be programmed before the indicator will
work correctly. The current shifter lever position is
displayed only after the wiring is connected, the
decoder box is programmed, and the ignition key is
turned on. See the instructions that came with the
cable operated sensor kit.
