OEM puck systems are easy to install and can be a great addition to your car. Here are the steps to follow:
1. Open up the hood of your car and remove the negative battery terminal.
2. Find an unused area on your firewall or inner fender well to mount the system's control unit. Use the supplied double-sided tape or screws and nuts to secure it in place.
3. Run the main power cable from the battery positive terminal along your vehicle's frame rail to the location of the control unit. It is important that this cable is protected from abrasion and heat as much as possible. Use plastic wire loom or split tubing if necessary.
4. Connect the main power cable to one of the large terminals on the control unit marked BAT.
5. Locate a 12 volt switched power source for activating the system when you want it on - this can be a headlight switch, accessory switch, etc.. Run a wire from this source to one of the small terminals on the control unit marked SWITCH.
6a) If you have an automatic transmission, connect one end of a short piece of vacuum hose (5/32 ID) tothe nipple onthe back ofthecontrolunit labeledAT.Runthe other endofthis hoseto any convenientvacuum sourceonyour engine(such as amanifold port). This connectionwill tellthe systemwhenyou have selected Parkor Neutralin order topreventitfromengaging whileyouare driving!
6b) If you have a manual transmission, find a location under your dash where you can access two wires going into your shift indicator lights (one for each gear). Splice into these wires using T-taps or solderless connectors so that both wires now go into BOTH original connections AND new connections going into pins 3 & 4 on J1 terminal block of relay board inside OEM puck system controller (as seen in photo below). Now whenever ANY gear is selected ON YOUR DASHBOARD GEAR INDICATOR, it will also complete circuit telling OEM puck system controller whether or not it is safe to engage device since vehicle is NOT in neutral nor park position!
