on pin "D", cut the wire and ground the
end of the wire that goes to the plug.
Tape off the other end of the wire.
STEP 4. Decide on a mounting position
for the toggle switch, some place where
the driver has easy access to the
switch and the indicator light is not
visually obstructed. The most common
mounting locations are under the
dashboard or to the console (if
equipped). When choosing a mounting
location for the power switch keep in
mind a route for the wires from the
switch to the transmission. Keep in
mind the following cautions:
1. Do not route wires near the engine
or exhaust system. The wire's in-
sulation may melt or burn off, caus-
ing a short circuit.
2. Keep the wires from dangling be-
neath the car or the dashboard as
they may become tangled with se-
lector linkage or other moving parts.
Do not secure wires to any moving
parts. Secure wires to frame mem-
bers or other supports using en-
closed wire ties.
3. The wires should be kept out of the
way of the driver's and passenger's
hand and foot movement to avoid
snagging and possible disconnec-
tion.
4. Two long wires will route to the
wires installed in Step 3. This may
mean drilling a 5/16 inch diameter
hole in the floor or firewall for the
wires to pass through. Be careful
there are no obstructions on the
other side of the surface to be
drilled as they may become dam-
aged. Check fora suitable existing
hole first before drilling a new hole.
STEP 5. Drill two 1/16" diameter holes
in the switch mounting surface, using
the bracket as a template for the
mounting hole spacing. From the wire
supplied in the kit, install a female
