B&M 80217 POWER SWITCH - Manual (Page 2)

Strip both ends of the wire back about
1/8" and crimp a butt connector onto
each end.
STEP 3. Decide on a mounting position
for the toggle switch, some place where
the driver has easy access to the
switch and the indicator light is not
visually obstructed. The most common
mounting locations are under the
dashboard or to the console (if
equipped). When choosing a mounting
location for the power switch keep in
mind a route for the wires from the
switch to the transmission. Keep in
mind the following cautions:
1. Do not route wires near the engine
or exhaust system. The wire's in-
sulation may melt or burn off, caus-
ing a short circuit.
2. Keep the wires from dangling be-
neath the car or the dashboard as
they may become tangled with se-
lector linkage or other moving parts.
Do not secure wires to any moving
parts. Secure wires to frame mem-
bers or other supports using en- closed wire ties.
3. The wires should be kept out of the
way of the driver's and passenger's
hand and foot movement to avoid
snagging and possible disconnec-
tion.
4. Two long wires will route to the butt
end connectors installed in Step 2.
This may mean drilling a 5/16 inch
diameter hole in the floor or firewall
for the wires to pass through. Be
careful there are no obstructions
on the other side of the surface to
be drilled as they may become
damaged. Check for a suitable
existing hole first before drilling a
new hole.
STEP 4. Drill two 1/16" diameter holes
in the switch mounting surface, using
the bracket as a template for the
mounting hole spacing. From the wire
supplied in the kit, install a female
spade connector. Place this onto
terminal #3 of the switch. Route this
wire to a good ground. The ground
MUST be metal and should not have any paint in between the connector and
the metal. Cut ground wire to length
and install the tongue spade connector
on the end. Install spade connector to
ground.
STEP 5. Onto the remaining wire install
two spade connectors. Attach these
connectors to the terminals marked #1
and #2 on the switch. If there is no
existing hole in the firewall or floorboard
of the vehicle, drill a 5/16" hole. Feed
the two long wires through the supplied
rubber grommet then through the 5/16"
hole. Press the rubber grommet into
place. Route wires to the transmission
electrical connector. Cut the wires to
length and connect them to the two
butt connectors on the wire cut in step
2. See Figure 3. Make sure all wires
are secured and properly connected.
INSTALLATION TH200-4R AND
TH700-R4 FOUR SPEED
TRANSMISSIONS
STEP 1. Raise and support the vehicle
high enough to give yourself plenty of
room to work. Use jackstands or
ramps to support the vehicle safely.
Do not use a jack alone.
Locate the plastic electrical
connector on the driver's side of the
transmission. See Fig. 1. Locate the
fourth gear oil pressure tap on the
transmission case. See Figure 2A for
the TH700-R4 location and Figure 2B
for the TH200-4R tap location.
STEP 2. Remove the fourth gear oil
pressure tap plug. Install the supplied
pressure switch. On most applications
you will require a 45 degree elbow so
the switch will clear the exhaust pipe or
floor pan. Make sure that the switch is
not overtightened or cross threaded.
STEP 3. Install two female spade
connectors on the supplied wire. Install
them on the pressure switch terminals.
Run the wires over the top of the
transmission. Unplug the plastic
electrical connector from the case.
Locate pin "A". Cut the wire going to
pin "A" about 3-4" from the connector.
Strip the wires and place a butt end
connector on each end of the cut wire.
Connect the two pressure switch wires
to the other sides of the butt connectors.
(Polarity is not important.)
