7.14 As previously stated, this harness is
designed to mount the computer in
the passenger side kick panel. If
space is tight, you may choose to
mount the computer under the dash.
NOTE:
The computer should be
mounted with the
connector located at the
bottom to avoid trapping
water.
7.15 Once you have determined a su
itable location to mount the computer, you may
attach the 60-Pin connector using a 10mm socket. MAKE SURE THAT THE
BATTERY LEADS ARE NOT CONNECTED WHILE ATTACHING THE
COMPUTER OR IT COULD BE DAMAGED! (Page 6, Connector #27)
7.16 The Fuse/Relay Control Module (FRCM) should be mounted in an area that can
be easily accessed. This is where the fuses are located for the EEC Power Relay,
the Fuel Pump Relay, and the Wide Open Throttle (WOT) Cutout Relay.
Additionally, you will need to access the FRCM if you wish to perform a ‘Key On
Engine Running’ (KOER) diagnostic test. (See Section 9.1 on Page 11 for more
information on the FRCM)
7.17 Mount the fuel pump Inertia Switch somewhere
on the vehicle’s body near the computer. It
should be mounted upright with the RESET
button at the top. A generous length of wire has
been included to allow you every opportunity to
mount the Inertia Switch and take advantage of
this safety feature. It is important to mount this to
a solid surface that will allow it to ‘trigger’ in the
unfortunate event of a collision. The purpose of
the Inertia Switch is to interrupt the voltage leading to the fuel pump and to prevent
it from continuing to run in the case of a ruptured fuel line. It is possible to trigger
the Inertia Switch if the vehicle hits an abnormally hard bump. The Inertia Switch
can easily be reset by depressing the plunger. Because you may need to reset the
Inertia Switch, you should mount it somewhere that you can access it if necessary.
