first you have to remove your door panel this is done by removing 2 screws in the door beneath the handle and one screw at the bottom right or left of the pane depending upon which door you do i used the passenger door to hook up mine so that when i pressed unlock once the driver door opened and if i pressed it twice then my passenger door and tool box unlock together




next remove the handle and the wiring harnesses that work your windows and door locks




next remove the door panel by pulling up on the panel and pulling away from the door it took a little bit of elbow grease also i found that having the door locked helps after you take off the panel place it in the bed or somewhere where it wolnt get damaged



after the easy stuff is done remove the speaker from the door and unkooh the wiring harness once again put it in a safe place



this is how the door should look after you finish those steps



Remove the panel that is on the right side of the passengers side foot well this is done by getting underneath the panel and pushing up it should just pop off on mine there were no fastners






next you will have to run a length of wire from the inside of the door and through the gromett and into the cab the picture is how it looks when your viewing the gromett in the door from the hole where the speaker goes



this is how the gromett looks from inside the cab you wil need to feed the wire through the gromett and into the cab its not very easy to do so good luck on that one





after that remove the piece that holds down the carpeting there were only four phillips head screws in it that held it down and it popped right up once removed. you will need to do this in order to hide the wire

i forgot to take a picture of this but leave enough wire on the door side probably bout the length of the door then you will have to find the small rubber peace under the passenger side its like a plug that i use to run wires through just drill a small hole and feed the wire through but not big enough so that when your wheeling that water will come in (i will get pics of the plug but im sure you know what i mean when you look for it.)




Next thing i did was wire up the door side first you will need to hide the wire in the door i did this by feeding it along the side of the door which face inside the cab but make sure the window will clear and not get caught up on the wire and not cut the wire .pick out the two red ones or pink i forget the color one will be solid and one will have a stripe
cut the two wires and attach your new wire to either pair like this



then make an extension so that no wires are to tight bu not to loose tie everything in and cap it all off.




next you should see like a push screw in which you should pull out and reverse so the wires are on the inside of the door
once all of that is done then check again your clearence reattatch the wiring harness so that you can roll down your widow and make sure that nothing gets caught or cut


next you wil have to run the wire to your tool box remember you will have to have to have fed the wire through the floor and out that plug then you can run the wire to your tool box this is the painful part but you will have to drill a hole through your bed in order to make the wire so no one can cut it and u'll be screwed after that run the wire into the toolbox and i also drilled a small hole for that too



next mounth the actuator
