Wire Harness
Ensure all wiring routed along the frame rails is secured to frame members wherever possible. Secure every 12
inches throughout its length, preferably with non-metallic clamps or “Bow Tie” tie wraps. Route wires away
from sharp corners, heat sources, and moving or rotating components. If a harness is installed through a frame
member, grommets must be installed to prevent wire chafing. At all connectors, verify that the wires come out
straight for a minimum of three (3) inches before any bends. Be sure all connector seals are fully engaged in the
mating connector and secondary locks are snapped securely.
