Instructions Inspection:

- If marker lights are not installed, continue on to Step 3.
Repair:
(Connecting Recall Harness)

- Attach the two pin connectors to their mates on the recall harness. (Photo below shows the original connectors plugged into the recall harness.)
- Use #8 self-tapping screw to ground ring terminal to any steel on the chassis structure.
(Installing Marker Lights)
- Dry fit the marker light base to ensure proper fit. When dry fit is correct, mark the location at which the hole should be drilled.
- This should be directly in front of the fender skirt as illustrated in the pictured above.
- Be sure to move any harnesses, lines, or other items that may be in the way before drilling the hole.
NOTE: WHEN DRILLING THE HOLES FOR THE MARKER LIGHTS BE SURE THAT THE SIDEWALL IS NOT DAMAGED IN THE PROCESS. TMC WILL NOT COVER ANY UNIT DAMAGE THAT OCCURS IN THE PROCESS OF THIS REPAIR.
- Drill a 7/8” hole. Make sure that you do not damage the sidewall.
- Screw the marker light to the sidewall, making sure both attached wires are securely thru the hole.
- Seal around the marker light base. Be sure to clean around base to remove any excess sealant.
- Repeat steps 6-12 on the other side of the unit making sure that the location of the marker lights will match one another.
