33. Lay the harness out over the intercooler, running the longer tail back into the engine bay from the passenger side, and the shorter end out over the intercooler to the drivers side. The relays should be positioned on the passenger side as close to the hood latch as possible. 34. With the harness laid out, connect the two fans to the harness. 35. Connect the intercooler coolant temperature sensor. 36. Route the wires in a suitable manner.
37. Once the wires are routed in a suitable position. Hold the relays up to the car and mark the centers of the holes in the brackets that hold the relays. Move the relays away, and using a punch make an indent where the hole is suppose to be. 38. Using a 3/16” drill bit, drill out the three holes, be careful not to drill through the back of the cross member. 39. Attach the relays using the supplied self tapping screws. 40. Remove the fuse and relay center cover. Page 12.
41. Run the long tail of the wiring harness, the part that is inside the engine bay, between the fuse block and fender. 42. Undo the power terminal using a 13mm socket, and connect the one red and two orange wires from the harness there. Put the nut back on the stud and torque it to 11 lb-ft (15 Nm). 43. Neatly route the wires so the TBRC-001 is beside the fuse block. 44. Using a 13mm wrench, undo the ground stud to the rear of the fuse block. Page 13.
45. Insert the three ground wires there, reinstall the bolt and tighten to 18 lb-ft (25 Nm). 46. Set the operating temperatures on the TBRC-001. Recommended temperatures are 90 degrees for fans on low and 110 for fans on high with a 10 degree hysteresis as shown in the picture to the left. Do this by turning the knobs for Temp 1 to 0 on the x100 and 9 on the x10; 1 on the x100 and 1 on the x10 for Temp 2 dials; and 1 on the 16 option dial. 47. Hold the TBRC-001 up to where you would like it mounted.
49. Stick one side of the hook and loop tape to the TBRC-001 and the other to the desired location on the car that was just cleaned. Place the TBRC-001 there so the two pieces of tape interlock.
