Chapter 3 Options and Accessories Installation
3.1 Emergency Pushbutton, Footswitch, Horn Relay, and Light Relay
Installation
Perform the following installation procedure:
1. Select an appropriate place to mount the option or accessory hardware.
2. Route the accessory-to-control head cables under floor coverings or behind panels so that
the vehicle occupants do not snag or break the wires.
3. Attach wires from the accessory to the appropriate wire on the VIP cable. (see Table 3-1 and
Table 3-2). Figure 3-1 shows how wires are plugged into the connector and how to use an
extraction tool to remove wires.
