INSTRUMENT PANEL WIRING:
2. Disconnect the arced grey 7-way ignition switch connectors and remove the orange wire from the instrument panel side (Figure 2-B).
Install the orange wire just removed, into the natural colored 1-way connector supplied with the instrument panel overlay harness, PN 4362284.
Install the bare terminal (orange wire) from the instrument panel overlay harness into the previously vacated cavity in the ignition switch connector. Reconnect the natural colored one way connectors supplied with the instrument panel overlay harness, and reconnect the ignition switch connectors (Figures 2-B and 2-C).
INSTRUMENT PANEL WIRING:
3. Replace the 3-amp fuse located in cavity #11 of the fuse block with the 10-amp fuse supplied in kit (Figure 2-D).
INSTRUMENT PANEL WIRING:
4. Route the instrument panel overlay harness along the existing instrument panel ignition switch wiring from the bulkhead connector and behind the fuse block to the existing red mold connector and instrument panel ground terminal (Figure 2-C).
Secure the instrument panel overlay harness using the existing wiring clip that retains the ignition switch wiring and one tie wrap, PN 6015756 (Figure 2-C).
5. Install the female blade terminal (white with black tracer wire) from the instrument panel overlay harness onto an instrument panel ground terminal located to the right of the steering column (Figure 2-C).

INSTRUMENT PANEL WIRING:
7. Connect the control (auto shut down) module, PN 5226640, to the supplied natural colored 8-way connector from the instrument panel overlay harness, PN 4362284. Secure the module onto the main instrument panel wiring harness with a tie wrap, PN 6015756, close to the bulkhead connector (Figure 2-E).
C. In-Tank Fuel Pump Installation
1. Remove the fuel tank gauge unit from the fuel tank per the service manual procedure and discard. Install the new seal and gauge/pump unit from the applicable kit. Use extreme caution to protect the float and gauge assembly during installation into the fuel tank.
2. With the fuel tank partially raised, connect the fuel tank vent hose, fuel return, and fuel supply hoses. Secure the hoses with the hose clamps provided.
3. Install existing gauge/pump wiring:
^ Black mold connector (gauge circuit) light blue with tracer wire to black stud of gauge/pump assembly.
^ Tape back existing yellow mold connector white wire (this wire will no longer be used).
^ Install red mold connector (pump feed circuit) dark green wire of new body wiring overlay harness, PN 4362286, onto the red stud of gauge/pump assembly.
^ Install yellow mold blade connector of body overlay harness, PN 4362286, to ground blade on gauge/pump assembly.
CAUTION: INCORRECT WIRING CONNECTIONS WILL CAUSE THE FUEL LEVEL GAUGE UNIT AND/OR CLUSTER GAUGE TO FAIL AND THE ELECTRIC PUMP TO BE INOPERATIVE.
^ Set aside the rest of harness, PN 4362286, to assure wiring is not pinched when reinstalling fuel tank.
4. Reinstall fuel tank to original position.
