INSTALLING THE STATUS INDICATOR

The alert 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.

Be sure you do not drill into any mechanism on the other side of the firewall.

Protect the wire by placing a rubber grommet (not supplied) in the hole, and thread 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.

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.
