UBS Wiring Harness Handbook UBS Installation Tips & Shortcuts After the proper lighting components have been determined and the required harnesses have been chosen, it’s time to install the Grote UBS System. This section provides guidelines and pointers for fast, easy installation. If this is a retrofit, remove and discard the existing wire harness system. Inspect the route that the harness will take for any sharp edges, obstacles and wear points and eliminate them or re-route the wire.
UBS Wiring Harness Handbook Assemble the clamp (provided) to the main and rear sill connection and then pack with grease using the fitting on the side. This is not a “required” installation method, but it is highly recommended. Failure to do so could limit and/or void the warranty. The rear sills are designed with female receptacles so sealed connections can be made and the need to cut and splice wires is eliminated.

UBS Wiring Harness Handbook Trailer Wiring Data HOW TO SELECT SIZE OF ELECTRICAL CABLE Wire is used to carry current from the battery through the vehicle to various electrical components: lights, instruments, etc. In automotive use, the grounded return system is used almost exclusively. In this system, a single wire is run from the battery through switches to the load and the vehicle itself provides the ground or return to the battery.
