NOTE:
To enhance customer satisfaction, remember to reset the clock when you have completed the service procedure.





2. Using a 10mm socket, back out the bolt that attaches the 74-way headlamp and dash connector to the instrument panel (I/P) harness connector (Figure 1).

3. Disconnect the 74-way headlamp and dash-to-I/P harness connector.

4. Temporarily move the white I/P harness connector out of the way by placing it up over the hood release cable.

5. Press the release tab on the black 74-way connector surround sleeve and then pull the gray connector and sleeve assembly off of its steel mounting bracket.

6. Inspect the headlamp and dash wiring harness take-out that is routed near the clutch pedal for evidence of chafing from contact with the pedal assembly (Figure 1). Wrap any wires that have exposed copper wire strands with high quality electrical tape.

7. Re-route the headlamp and dash wiring harness take-out by moving it under the gray 74-way connector and black surround sleeve assembly and then positioning it to the LEFT side of the connector (move harness from inboard to outboard side of connector/bracket).

8. Install the gray 74-way connector and black surround sleeve assembly back on to its mounting bracket. A "Click" will be heard when it is locked into position.

9. Connect the white 74-way I/P harness connector to the gray 74-way connector and black surround sleeve assembly.

10. Tighten the 74-way connector bolt to 31 in-lbs (3.5 N.m).

11. Actuate the clutch pedal and inspect the harness routing to ensure that the headlamp and dash harness take-out is positioned away from the clutch pedal and linkage. Also ensure that the harness does not interfere with or touch any part of the park brake assembly.

12. Connect the negative battery cable.
