Boy am I glad I saw this first before running the step wiring harness. You have to insert that wire in the plug, then use their cool little wire connector kits to connect the ground wire. The plug that plgus into the Powerstep Controller has a center hole in it designed for the power wire of the light kit. So, plug in the lighting wire to the step wiring harness. Wait a minute? The light kit has a second set of wires and another set of instructions. I just looked and saw were I wanted it lined up, then tightened the bolts down. It says to measure 11” from the front wheel. Remember that the there is only has 1 motor on each side, so the actual board is what travels up and raises the mount without a motor. You’ve really got to crank down on these bolts, otherwise, you’ll end up with only half the board raising and the other half will be left hanging down. You cannot apply enough force with just a tiny piece of metal. AMP STEPS WIRING HARNESS INSTALLDo not even try to install them with just an Allen Wrench. Also, you’ll need an Allen Socket to install these. Now, I understand that the brackets need to slide, but they slide quickly and do not stay in one place. You have to line up these stupid little silver brackets that slide along the board. My back is killing me from rolling around on the concrete. I can say that if I had to do it again, I’d go buy a new one in a heartbeat. So, I had to finish this install without one. It worked great on the passenger side, the I noticed it no longer wanted to roll. This is a good time to bring up the fact that this job is much easier with a creeper. The driver’s side back one took me about 30 minutes to install. So, remove the motor, install the bracket, then install the motor back, which was much easier when it wasn’t on the truck. Also, they are only held in place by the single bolt sticking out the truck and a single hex screw. If they fall off, then I’ll know I was wrong. Doesn’t say where on the truck to install the mounts… There are at least 6 places to mount the steps under the truck, so I picked the second one from the front and second one from the back. It would have made more since for the motor to be installed on the front of the truck, but I’m sure it’s designed to be install on the back. I guess because they wanted you to have to run 10 extra feet of wire along the frame. The mount with the motor goes on the back on both sides. Step 1: After watching several videos online, I know that you need to connect the motors first. The next thing I notice is that the instruction book is 4 pages and really all of the instructions are on 2. I ended up having to use 2 standard Allen Wrenches and 1 metric. Apparently the designer had all of these Allen Wrenches lying around the shop and decided that he wanted to use them all. Metric or standard? Well I got both, so let’s see. Cool, let’s get out the old Allen Wrench set. So, the first thing I notice and all of the screws are hexagonal. ![]()
