- Open the fuse box panel located in the passenger side footwell to gain access to the vehicle's body control module (BCM). See Figure 1 for location.
- Remove factory plug A from the BCM and plug in the Z-Flash plug A into that socket. Then plug factory plug A that you removed into the Z-Flash adapter plug A.
- Remove factory plug B from the BCM and plug in the Z-Flash plug B into that socket. Then plug factory plug B that you removed into the Z-Flash adapter plug B.
- Remove factory plug C from the BCM and plug in the Z-Flash plug C into that socket. Then plug factory plug C that you removed into the Z-Flash adapter plug C.
- Connect the remaining 10 outputs into their respective leads on the flasher module in any order. Make sure to match the two white plugs for power and ground. See Figure 2 for details.
- There are two ways to activate the module; with the provided switch or hard-wiring it into your own controller or the vehicle's upfitter switch. See the chart below for instructions.
| Switch | Hardwire |
|---|---|
| Plug the provided switch into the flasher and turn on to activate. | Locate the bag with the red wire (see Figure 3). One end has a 4-slot connector that plugs into the Z-Flash and the other end is bare wire that ties to a switch. If you need to switch patterns, simply plug the red momentary switch into the other Z-Flash port that takes the 2-slot plug. |
