Installation
- Difficulty: Intermediate (dash cutout + wiring + HVAC integration)
- Dash Cutout (panel opening): Mask a 1.5″ × 4.5″ area; mark from the provided dimensions; measure twice, cut once. Cut undersize and file to a precise fit so the panel doesn’t shift
- Panel Mounting: Install face through the opening; locate the control PCB from behind; hand-snug screws, then add ~½ turn—do not over-tighten
- Wiring: Plug the control harness into the panel and the Gen 5 ECU; tie the tan backlight wire into dash lamps for illumination
- Diagrams: Use the Gen 5 wiring diagram for connections; mount fuses near the battery; route wiring cleanly away from heat/motion points
- Final Checks: Verify blower, mode, and temp functions; confirm A/C annunciator and backlight operation; test defrost/heat blend
Cutting the dash opening precisely is key to a factory-clean look. If your truck’s wiring has been modified, validate circuits before splicing. Ask us about FFS Professional Installation services.
