4. Using your hands, grasp the light bar at its sides next to chime/thermistor assembly and gently pull the two sides of the light bar apart until the chime/thermistor can be removed.

CAUTION: Locate the wires coming from the chime/ thermistor. On a piece of paper, note the wire color and cavity the wires are currently installed in on both the component and connector side of the harness. This will prove helpful later.

2. Locate the wires going to the chime/thermistor. Install the wires in the connector. Secure with a tie strap. Refer to the Wiring for detailed instructions.
