Rugged Ridge NP231 Mega Short Slip Yoke Eliminator (SYE) Kit with Speed Sensor - Manual (Page 8)

Installation Instructions: 18676.72
The following information will be used if working with a 1998 and older NP231J’s equipped with
different connector design than what has been supplied in this kit.
For the installer to use the Rugged Ridge 18676.72 MSSYE Kit in vehicles older than 1999 it may be
necessary to cut both connector leads to hard wire into the vehicles wire harness.
Wiring diagram shows the correct color code needed to splice wires.
Cut wires located directly after the female and connector located on the chasse of the
vehicle and on the new 18676.71 male speed sensor supplied in the kit. This will leave
you with 3 wires for both to reconnect to the new speed sensor. After trimming the plastic
protective cover from both the chasses wires and the new sensor slide heat shrink wraps
over each wire (cut to proper length). NOTE: the heat shrink wrap is not supplied in
this kit. You will need to source this from an auto parts or electronic retailer. The
Orange wire is the 5V power supply, the Black wire is the sensor ground wire, and the
White or Brown wire is the sensor speed signal wire. The supplied connectors should
match factory wire colors to help speed installation. With all wires properly connected
(heat solder only) slide shrink tube over soldered wires and heat to seal. For added
protection the use of 3M electrical tape is recommended over the shrink wrapped wires.
If desired the use of connectors can be used to allow the disconnection of the sensor
without removal. It is recommended that quality connectors be used to avoid corrosion at
terminal connectors.
