POWERED RUNNING BOARDS INSTALLATION MANUAL WARNING Level of Difficulty Improper electrical installation may result in personal injury. Unless you are familiar with the installation and handling of electrical systems, have this step performed by someone who has that familiarity.

Step 1 Starting on the driver side, locate the three mounting locations underneath the vehicle. Note: Each bracket is specific to a mounting location. Refer to page 1 product image for correct locations. Step 2 Starting at the front driver-side mounting location, locate the two threaded holes on the inside of the body panel. Attach one of the front mounting brackets to the vehicle using two M8 hex bolts, two M8 lock washers and two M8 flat washers. Snug the hardware, but do not fully tighten.

Step 5 With help, carefully place the running board onto the mounting brackets. Align the T-rails with the mounting brackets on the vehicle. Slide the top mounting track on the board over the top flange on each bracket. Adjust the T-rails in the lower track of the board so the studs drop into the slots on the bottom of each mounting bracket. Step 6 Secure the running board to the front mounting bracket using one M8 flat washer and one 5/16" nylock nut on each T-rail stud.

Step 8 Remove the fuse from the wiring harness before installing. Once the fuse is removed, take that section of the wiring harness and attach it to the battery. Route the opposite end of the harness through the firewall into the cab of the vehicle. Zip-tie the wiring harness in place once it is in the desired location. Step 9 Remove the front and rear door trim panels on both sides of the vehicle. Note: Remove any other vehicle components that could interfere with the wiring harness.

Step 10 Wiring Locations Driver Once the trim panels are removed, take the second section of wiring harness and route it under the carpet, through the vehicle, from the passenger-side rear to the desired location. Passenger Refer to the diagrams below.

Step 11 On the driver side, take the power wire and sensor wire (orange / yellow) and route it to the front of the vehicle underneath the carpet. If there is no plug in the floor behind the driver seat, skip to step 12. If there is a plug in the floor behind the driver seat continue this step. Take the driver-side rear actuator (red / black) and the LED light (brown / tan) and route it through the floor plug behind the driver seat.

Step 14 Plug the door sensor into the wiring harness and route it up the door frame, under the carpet. Note: Depending on the vehicle, you may need to use the supplied sensor harness extensions for the two front door sensors. Once the harness and sensor are routed to the desired location, wipe the sensor and door with the provided alcohol wipe. Place two pieces of 1/2" x 1/2" double- sided tape on the sensor and attach the sensor to the vehicle. Repeat this process for the other three doors.

Step 16 On the driver side, plug the rear actuator (red / black) into the running board and pull the extra wire back into the vehicle. Plug the LED light wire (brown / tan) into the LED light and secure it to the mounting bracket tab with the supplied jam nut. Once all the wiring is installed, cover the wires with slit loom for extra protection. Repeat for the passenger side of the vehicle. Refer to step 12 for wiring call out. Step 17 Locate a spot to install the power switch.
PAGE 9
Step 18 Once all wiring is installed, plug in the circuit board and place it underneath the carpet under the rear passenger seat. Attach the two wiring harnesses and re-install the fuse removed in step 8. Step 19 Congratulations on the installation of your new powered running boards. With the running boards installed, periodic inspections should be performed to ensure all mounting hardware remains tight.

TROUBLESHOOTING & REGISTRATION Troubleshooting I just installed my steps and they are not coming down when I open the door. My switch is getting power, but the light stays on in both positions. Double check the connections. Check the fuse to make sure it is plugged in. Is the on / off switch getting power? Is the circuit board plugged in? Are the door sensors plugged in? The light is only supposed to be on when the system is turned on. If it is lit in both positions simply switch the red wires on the back.
