Rock-Slide Engineering FORD VAN STEP SLIDER - Manual (Page 5)

Step 3: Install magnets onto the front doors directly across from the electronic switch unit
and slowly close the door to make sure it is aligned and does not touch the switch unit or
any other obstruction. Install magnet opposite side door switch in the same manner.
Step 4: Pull away door seal and run the switch wires under them and into the area under
the step panel removed in step 1.
Step 5: Run wires for the on/off switch from under the step panel under the door seal to
behind the driver
ʼs side lower knee panel. Install switch in panel (fig 8), and turn off.

Part 3: Testing and Finishing
Step 1: Snug down all the button head bolts on top of the step/sliders. Check the fit
between step/slider assembly and lower bracket. Is there contact all along the length of
the step/slider? If not, place shims between lower support and step/slider assembly.
Snug the lower bolts.
Step 2: Connect battery ground, install fuse, activate switch and close all doors . Wait a
few seconds for the CPU to boot and open the driver
ʼs door. The step should deploy
smoothly without binding. If not, close the door and let the CPU boot once again. Check
operation for passenger side by opening and closing front and side doors. Both should
operate the passenger side step.
Step 3: If the steps are working well, tighten all the mounting bolts top and bottom and
retest step operation. If the step deployment is no longer smooth or if they don
ʼt close
flush, the step/slider may have twisted a bit and will need shimming between lower
support bracket and step/slider assembly.
Step 4: Carefully route, support and hide all of the associated wiring making sure none of
it is touching the exhaust or anything sharp. Replace inner step panels.
