step slider assembly and lower support, just bolting the unit tightly to the lower support
can cause twisting and effect operation of the step. Leave mounting bolts loose and
repeat procedure for other side.


Part 2: Electrical Installation

Wiring your new step/sliders is very simple. Only a constant +12volt and ground are
required. Some Ford vans have a battery under the floor, or in the case of a Sportsmobile
the relay for the on-board air compressor is an excellent source of constant 12v power.

Step 1: Remove inline fuse. Lay the included wiring harness out to get an idea where
everything goes. Pull up the factory interior step panels to expose an excellent location
for the CPU and to pull wires through to the underside of vehicle (fig 5).

Step 2: Determine which door switches go where, and clean the location in the door jamb
with alcohol to promote adhesion (fig. 6). Affix the front door switches below the catch
hoop and the side door switch inside the lower hinge in the forward door jamb (fig. 6 & 7)
