AWD switch and any other accessory controls that may

have been added.

5. Remove center storage compartment support bracket.

Then remove the center storage compartment. (Picture 1)

6. Using the firewall heater hose template (Template 1) mark

center of each hole using a sharp punch or awl. From

inside of firewall drill holes using a 1 3/8” hole saw. (Picture

2) Be sure to check on the radiator side of the firewall for

any obstructions prior to drilling.

7. Use mounting bracket template (Template 2) secure

template onto the firewall (Picture 3) and drill 5/16” holes

for bracket screws. Be sure to check for obstructions on

the radiator side of the firewall before drilling.

8. Loosely install hose clamps (P) onto heater hoses (D).

Remove the rubber stoppers from the heater core pipes on

the heater (A) and place hoses on pipes, slide clamps (P)

into position and tighten hose clamps.

9. Attach large wiring harness (F) to fan plug from heater

assembly (A) . Also attach small wiring harness from the

resistor on the heater assembly (A) to the two remaining

plugs in the large wiring harness.

10. Lower the heater assembly (A) into the dash where the

storage compartment support bracket was removed.

(Picture 4)

11. Make sure the straight grill is positioned at the bottom of

the heater assembly (A) and the bracket is next to the

firewall.

12. Fasten bracket to the firewall with screws (M) securing with

nuts (N). Be sure to route all wiring away from any sharp

edges.

13. Route heater hoses through 1 3/8” holes in firewall. Install

grommets (E) onto each hose. A small amount of lubricant

may be used to aid in installation.

Rev. 1 1215

14. Seat grommets (E) into holes of firewall. Make

sure to position hoses so there are no kinks.

15. Route large wiring harness (F) through existing

hole in firewall (Picture 3 shows existing hole)

10. Mark a spot on the radiator hose on the engine

coolant return side. Mark a spot on the radiator

hose on the engine coolant supply side. (Picture 5)

These are your center marks and where you will

place the Y connectors (G).

11. Use 3 sets of hose pliers to displace the engine

coolant and make the radiator hose easier to cut.

Place the 1st set of hose pliers 4” to the left of the

center mark. Place the 2nd set of hose pliers on

the center mark. Place the 3rd set of hose pliers 4”

to the right of the center mark.

12. Place a catch pan under the hose to be cut, to catch

coolant that may be trapped between pliers.

13. Using hose cutters, make a straight cut on the mark

at the 2nd set of pliers. You may need to cut and

remove a section of the radiator hose to maintain

adequate clearance from other components.

Remove the center hose pliers.

14. Install a Y connector (G) with the 5/8” side pointing

upward. Secure with two large hose clamps (O).

(Picture 6).

15. Measure the length needed for heater hoses to the

Y connector (G) and trim off any excess heater hose

length with hose cutters.

18. Install heater hose from heater assembly (A) to

5/8” end of the Y connector (G) and secure with

small hose clamp (P). Clamp heater hose near Y

connector (G) with hose pliers, before removing

21. Locate a position on the upper instrument panel to

install the defrost vent (I). Secure the template (3)

in place and cut the instrument panel along the

dotted line. Be sure to check for clearance and

obstructions before cutting. Place two flex hose

clips (K) on the backside of the vent and install

defrost vent.

22. Secure the templates (4) on the panel above the

center console to install two of the square vents (J).

(Picture 7) Cut the console along the dotted line.

Place two flex hose clips (K) on the backside of

each of the vents and install square vents.

23. Locate a space on the side firewall behind the

steering column on the driver’s side for heat at

your feet. Use two self-tapping screws (S) to

mount the square vent bracket (L). (Shown in white

in Picture 8).

24. Place two hose clips (K) on the backside of the third

square vent (J) and place in the vent bracket (L).

(Picture 9 in black).

25. Cut flex hose (H) into four lengths. Attach these

four flex hoses (H) to the pre-clipped heater ducts

on the heater assembly (A) (Picture 10).

27. Attach flex hoses (H) from heater assembly (A) to

the vents, as follows. The two flex hoses closest to

the console panel connect to flex hose clips on the

two square vents in the center console. The upper

right flex hose connects to the flex hose clips on

the defrost vent in the upper instrument panel and

upper left flex hose connects to the flex hose clips

on the driver’s side square vent. Use wire cutters

on flex heater hose to size to fit.

28. Use 11mm drill and make a hole in the side of the

instrument panel for the fan switch. Be sure to

check for any obstructions before drilling. Place

the star washer (Q) on the fan switch (B). Insert

30. Reconnect the battery. Do NOT Start Engine.

31. Locate the Terminal or Fuse Block. (Picture 13 is

typical). The wiring harness (F) has 3 wires, a

red power wire, a yellow ignition/accessory

wire and a black ground wire. Using a Voltage

meter or Test Light, with the ignition switch off,

test the terminals in the terminal block. The

terminal that is live is for the red wire. Next,

turn the ignition on (Do not start engine) and

re-test the remaining terminals. The next live

terminal is for the yellow wire, while the dead

terminal is for the black ground wire. Connect

the wiring harness (F). Turn ignition off and re-

test the yellow wire, to ensure that you have

connected it correctly (ie. to a terminal that

shuts off when the ignition is turned off).

32. Remove the radiator cap. Fill cooling system

with coolant and BLEED AIR* FROM THE

SYSTEM according to the service manual.

33. Run engine through two complete radiator fan

cycles. Allow to cool and top off engine coolant

recovery bottle

34. Periodically check coolant during the first

couple hours of operations.
