As basic as the kit may seem, this is all you need to complete this easy modification and to do so safely.

Step 3

Remove the plastic boot liner and run the cables in a safe route away from any possible damage from the space saver, tyre, etc? The ends of the cable need to be run to the fuse box.

The switch is a 3-way toggle switch, if you try it, it will lock in the up and not in the downward.
