VSS INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS


BEFORE STARTING, DISCONNECT THE BATTERY NEGATIVE CABLE.

A. INTERIOR
1. Remove the driver's seat mounting bolts (5). Disconnect the seat belt switch connector and carefully remove the seat.




2. Remove the following trim panels: (figure 1)

- Left door sill protector
- Left kick panel
- Undercolumn panel

3. Installing The Status Monitor Panel

An empty switch blank must be located for the status monitor. Two possible sites are located to the left of the steering column. If neither of these are available see "POD MOUNTING" instructions. If only one empty switch blank is found and fog lights are also being installed, save the blank for the fog light switch and mount the VSS in a pod.



POD MOUNTING (figure 2)

A switch mounting pod, NISSAN P/N 999M2-K7000, must be installed to hold the status monitor. Remove the center console. Hold the pod in position as shown and mark the two mounting hole locations. Drill two 5/32" mounting holes. On the centerline between the mounting holes, 1/4" below the holes, drill a 15/16" hole for the status monitor cable connector. Feed the cable through the pod and the 15/16" hole and snap the status monitor into place. Mount the pod with the screws, washers and nuts provided. BEING CAREFUL TO ALIGN IT CORRECTLY, AND SMOOTHING FROM THE CENTER OUT, apply the status monitor overlay. Peel off the protective film. Route the cable under the carpet to the heater duct under the driver's seat. Replace the center console.
