Insert the connector all the way and make sure it is securely locked. Position wires so that the open end of the cover faces down. DOWN

Handling Wires and Harnesses Secure wires and wire harnesses to the frame with their respective wire ties at the designated locations. Remove clips carefully; do not damage their locks (A). Slip pliers (A) under the clip base and through the hole at an angle, then squeeze the expansion tabs to release the clip. After installing harness clips, make sure the harness does not interfere with any moving parts. Keep wire harnesses away from exhaust pipes and other hot parts, from sharp edges of brackets and holes and from exposed screws and bolts. Seat grommets in their grooves properly (A). Do not leave grommets distorted (B).
