- | Using a small screwdriver, or a pick, remove the plastic plug from the face of the 12-pin main harness connector. **Remove** the BROWN/Grey wire from Pin 2 location. This is a power wire, so be sure to tape it up & shrink-wrap it well to prevent it from shorting anywhere. Using the WHITE jumper wire that comes with the tuner, feed the open ended side through the rubber plug (into Pin 2 position) until it is flush with the face of the connector. Then snap the plug back into the face. | + | Using a small screwdriver, or a pick, remove the plastic plug from the face of the 12-pin main harness connector. **Remove** the BROWN/Gray wire from Pin 2 location.
