Step 2:   install electric power steering.
remove rivet from passenger side of crossmember.

Step 3:   wiring
-ground wire in bag goes from engine to firewall.
-grounds are very important as with any electrical system. Clean any area to bare metal where a ground is being installed.
-install main power harness from battery side of solenoid along top of firewall and behind engine. (do not hook up battery power yet)
-install module with bracket inside cab, under dash. Directly above throttle pedal works best- as all wires are built to length to this location.
-use two self-drilling screws to mount module bracket in place.
-hook up small red wire to fuse (acc fuse) in factory fuse box. (key on power) use the brass clip to fit around fuse.
-plug in all wiring connections to module.
-zip tie or use cable clamps to secure all wiring harnesses and double check all bolts are tight.
-route harness from eps unit alongside factory taillight/rear frame harness.
-route harness on top and behind brake booster through firewall grommet.
-if running a big block, diesel or extra wide tires adjustable module will be needed (available on website – p-adjmod)
 
Step 4: almost done!
-double check all bolts are tight and wiring harness are not inferring with moving or other harmful components. (Exhaust or sharp edges.)
-install main power at starter solenoid.
-turn key on. Listen for module to make a “click” noise.
– you now have the best power steering you or your pickup could ever need
