3.5.3 Disassembly and Assembly
3.5.3.1 Disassembly
1. Disconnect the negative terminal from the vehicle’s battery. Make sure that the battery cable
is secured such that it will not power the vehicle’s electrical system. See
Figure 3-6.
2. Unscrew both jackscrews completely.
3. Pull the accessory connector assembly out from the radio.
4. Loosen both cover screws, but do not remove them completely.
5. Pull the jackscrews away from the plug and hold them back.
6. Pry apart the accessory connector assembly covers.
7. Attach any new wire to its proper location by pushing in the male terminal. When you hear a
pop, the wire is engaged. To verify that the wire is engaged, tug gently on the wire and be
sure it does not come out. Do not overload the wire: severe damage will result to the plug.
3.5.3.2 Assembly
1. Place the plug in one cover. Be sure that the flange of the plug is in the slot of the cover. See
Figure 3-6.
2. Push the jackscrew through the plug to hold it in.
3. Position each wire across the strain-relief features in the cover. Avoid damaging loads on the
plug by allowing some slack in each wire in the accessory connector assembly’s wire
chamber.
4. Place the second cover onto the plug. Be sure that the flange is protruding through both
covers.
