Installation
IMPORTANT: Follow these instructions BEFORE installing the RETRAX cover.
Use caution when cutting the wire ties holding the wire harness together so you do not cut wires. Inspect wiring. Do not install
damaged wires as they could become a hazard.
1. Using a Wire tie, secure the fuse holder end of the
wire harness near the battery (red wire and brown wire)
Note: Do not connect the wiring harness to your battery
yet.
2. Route the wire harness to the driver side of the truck if
it is not already. (Using wire ties, secure the wiring
harness so it does not come into contact with moving
parts or exhaust pipes.)
3. Route the wiring harness down along the frame rails
to the truck box as shown on the right. Keep the wires as
high as possible to prevent damage while driving.
Secure the wiring harness with wire ties every 2-3 feet.
STEP 1-3: Routing wiring harness from battery
to truck bed
OPTION 1: Route 24” of wire to driver side cab end of
drain holes in the bed. Use split wire loom to wrap
around the wires as a barrier between the wires and
the drain tube hole. (NOTE: this may require a larger
hole than normal.)
OPTION 2: Route the wiring in the gap between the
cab and truck bed (leave about 24” in truck bed). The
wires will be hidden under the front weather-stripping
of the RETRAX cover.
