vehicle. This harness is the one removed in step 12 of dash disassembly.

connections to the radio. Metra recommends using the proper mating
adapter from Metra.
Note: If the touchscreen display does not load up, or the radio doesn’t come
on within 3 minutes, and/or the touchscreen display does not show “SWC
Configured”, turn the vehicle off and disconnect the 5838 harnesses from port “A”
in the touchscreen display. Check all the connections, reconnect the harness into
the touchscreen display, and then try again.
4. Test all functions of the installation for proper operation, before
reassembling the dash.
