ARB M226 Air Locker Install - Tech

The wires were un-taped from the hanger and routed behind the plastic kick panel up to where the two blank switch spots are on the left of the steering wheel.

Once the blank switches were removed, the wires were fed through the switch holes and connected to the provided switches by following the color coded diagram provided by ARB.

At this point you only have 2 wires left, the power wire and the dimmer light wire.The power wire was extended and was taped into the red wire to the 12V outlet in the dash.

The dash was disassembled by removing the try from the top of the dash, removing the one screw that is now exposed and pulling straight out on the entire panel.

The dimmer light wire was tapped into the red dimmer light wire from the lose plug under the dash right next to the mirror adjustment plug.

All that is left at this point is the air line from the compressor to the locker. We started under the hood at the compressor and ran the line down the firewall keeping it away from the engine as much as possible. The air line was then run along the top, outside of the frame where we were able to zip tie it to some wires that were running in the same direction.

At the rear of the Xterra the ABS line was followed untill the brake line was reached which was followed the rest of the way to the differential and was terminated at the fitting on the differential housing. Once the air line was ran, we hit a local trail for some testing and everything worked perfect. See you on the trail!
