D. Install Blower Motor Relay and Overlay Harness





1. Remove the 30-amp fuse from the fuseblock F2 -- Blower Motor location (Figure 13).

2. Remove the TAN wedge from the fuseblock (Figure 13).

3. Remove the BLACK with ORANGE tracer (A22) wire from cavity 11 of the fuseblock (Figure 13); then cut the terminal off and tape the wire back to the harness.

4. Remove the DARK GREEN (C1) wire from cavity 12 of the fuseblock (Figure 13).

5. Disconnect the 84-way bulkhead connector.

6. Remove the cover from the rear of the 84-way connector.

7. Remove the BLUE wedge from the 84-way connector.





8. Remove the PINK with BLACK tracer (A2) wire from cavity 43 of the 84-way bulkhead connector (Figure 14).





9. Remove the RED wedge from the 7-way ignition switch connector (Figure 15).

10. Remove the BLACK with ORANGE tracer (A22) wire from cavity 5 of the 7-way ignition switch connector (Figure 15). Then, remove the wire from the wiring takeout bundle back to the base of the steering column.





11. Install the supplied blower relay wiring harness so that the X-wrap is located near the base of the steering column (Figure 16). Secure the harness with a tie strap.

12. Install the PINK with BLACK tracer blower relay harness wire (with a blade terminal) into cavity 43 of the 84-way connector (Figure 14 and Figure 16).

13. Install the BLUE wedge into the 84-way connector.

14. Install the cover onto the rear of the 84-way connector.

15. Connect the 84-way bulkhead connector.

16. Disconnect the WHITE electrical connector on the blower relay harness. Install the PINK with BLACK tracer wire that was removed from the 84-way connector into the WHITE connector opening (Figure 16). Reconnect the WHITE connector. Secure the connector near the bulkhead connector with a tie strap.

17. Install the BLACK with ORANGE tracer blower relay harness wire into cavity 5 of the 7-way ignition switch connector (Figure 16).

18. Disconnect the BLACK 2-way electrical connector on the blower relay harness (Figure 16). Remove the BLUE wedge and then install the BLACK with ORANGE tracer wire that was removed from the ignition switch connector into cavity 2 of the BLACK connector. Install the wedge and reconnect the BLACK 2-way connector. Secure the connector and any excess wiring near the base of the steering column with a tie strap.

19. Cut off the terminal and then strip about 1" of wire insulation from the end of the DARK GREEN wire that was removed from the fuseblock earlier.

20. Strip about 1" of wire insulation from the end of the DARK GREEN with WHITE blower relay harness wire (Figure 16).

21. Slide a piece of heat shrink tubing onto the wire.

22. Connect the DARK GREEN and DARK GREEN with WHITE tracer wires by twisting the wire ends together.

23. Solder the twisted wire ends using rosin core solder.

CAUTION:
Wire splice must be soldered. Do NOT use a solderless connector.

24. Center the piece of heat shrink tubing over the splice. Heat the tubing with a heat source until sealant comes out each end of the tubing.

25. Install the DARK GREEN blower relay harness wire into cavity 12 of the fuseblock (Figure 16).

26. Install the PINK with BLACK tracer blower relay harness wire into cavity 11 of the fuseblock (Figure 16).

27. Install the TAN fuseblock wedge (Figure 13).

28. Reinstall the 30-amp fuse in the fuseblock F2 Blower Motor location (Figure 13).





29. Disconnect the ground eyelet near the airbag squib connector (Figure 17).

30. Double stack the ground eyelet on the BLACK blower relay harness wire onto the ground screw. Install the ground screw and tighten securely.





31. Attach the blower relay onto one of the horizontal relay mounting tabs on the bracket located on the brake pedal support just above the brake lamp switch and pedal (Figure 18).

NOTE:
For early 1994 model year vehicles that do not have a relay bracket or if two relays are already attached to the bracket, secure the relay to the wiring harness with a tie strap.

32. Re-tape all of the portions of the ignition switch wiring harness from which tape was removed.

33. Position the ignition switch wires back inside of the wiring trough.

34. Snap the steering column wiring trough back on to the steering column using the supplied clips as necessary.

35. Connect the 7-way ignition switch electrical connector.

36. Install the lower steering column shroud (Figure 4).

37. Install the upper and lower steering column covers (Figure 4).

38. Install the steering column tilt lever (Figure 4).

39. Install the knee blocker and tighten the screws securely (Figure 3).

40. Connect the negative battery cable(s).

41. Verify that the blower motor operates properly.
