Installation Procedure

1. Remove the 20-amp fuse "ECU B1" from the fuse box located under the hood with a fuse puller or disconnect the negative battery cable at the battery.





2. With the straight screwdriver CAREFULLY pry the top clip of the vehicle electrical connector out of the front bracket so as not to damage the clip (see illustration). Disconnect the connectors.

3. Remove Running Board. Refer to TSIB No. AX004-00, Running Board Installation Instructions. Follow steps 1 - 7 in the section Platform Replacement Procedure: Remove Current Running Board.

CAUTION:
Do NOT lift the running board by the top of the endcaps (above light pipes).

4. Place the running board on a clean, protected surface.





5. Turn the back ribbed end of the module counterclockwise one quarter turn and pull away from the module body.

CAUTION:
If the reflector falls out of the module, handle ONLY while wearing cotton gloves.





6. Wearing cotton gloves, reach into the light module and extract the silver reflector bowl.





7. If changing the bulb only: Wearing cotton gloves, wiggle the bulb loose, and replace with the new bulb by wiggling back and forth while exerting a slight pressure until seated.

8. If changing the module end: Disconnect the electrical connector of the module end from the wiring harness, and replace with the new module end.

NOTE:
To replace the module end in the rear endcap, the tie wrap at the wiring connector to the aluminum L-bracket must be cut off and replaced.





9. Still wearing cotton gloves, replace the silver reflector over the bulb until seated and replace the module end into the module body. Apply a slight pressure and turn clockwise one quarter turn ensuring the locking tab on the module end is fully engaged in the hook on the module body. Pull to check that it is seated and engaged.

NOTE:
Be sure that the "O" ring is installed on the module end before installation.

10. Reinstall running board to vehicle. Refer to TSIB No. AX004-00, Running Board Installation Instructions. Follow steps 1 - 6 under Installation Procedure: Installation & Alignment Procedure.
