    NOTE:

    For more secure mounting the ties should be used so that they cross on the front of the T-Box module.

  8. Install the T-Box module (1a) next to the top hole in the dashboard mounting bracket and secure it with the biadhesive Velcro and the two ties (1b) supplied.
  9. Connect the kit wiring harness (2) to the T-Box module, taking care to pass it through the inside of the dashboard so that it does not interfere with subsequent reassembly of the internal cladding components removed previously.

  12. Remove the ground nut (1) from the front pillar area and open the cable retainers.
    NOTE:

    If there are any cables already connected to this ground stud, take care to fit the T-Box harness ground ring in such a way that it is at 90° to the previous ones.

  15. Locate pin 1 on the connector, then cut and remove the sheathing of the vehicle wiring.
    NOTE:

    Take great care not to get the cables to be joined dirty as this will adversely affect the continuity of the electrical conduction. While heating the thermal shrinking tubs, as a result of the high temperatures reached, the drier and the heat shield must not, under any circumstances, come into contact with cladding parts or other components.

  16. Install the thermal shrinking connection tubes (1) onto the two sets of cables within the wiring.
  17. Use an air heater (2a) with heat shield (2b) to heat the thermal shrinking tubes (2c) until the ring of solder melts; then wait for it to cool.
    NOTE:

    The air heater (drier) used in this procedure is commercially available.

    NOTE:

    Apply insulating tape to the two wires individually and then combine the wires with the main wiring and tape again to create a more compact bundle.
