Installing the B&M ShiftPlus on a 3400 V6 at the ECU instead of under the hood (both work fine).

1. Locate ECU on the driver's side. You'll need to remove the plastic cover piece by removing the push-in retainer. This is all located down in the footwell by the pedals.

2. Locate large wire harness coming from the back of the ECU. You'll need to remove the 1st layer of electrical tape that is wrapped around the harness. Once that's done it's time to locate the 2 wires you'll use.

3. Locate the wires in the harness on the back of the ECU that you'll use. To make it easy and so you don't have to guess which ones they are (because there's multiple wires that are the same color) you should go to the bottom right hand corner of the ECU (as you're looking at it from in front...bottom left hand corner if you're looking at it from behind...THIS IS CIRCLED IN GREEN IN THE 2ND PICTURE). The wires you're looking for are striped. One will be a LIGHT BLUE w/ a skinny WHITE STRIPE and the other will be RED w/ a skinny BLACK STRIPE (SHOWN WITH GREEN ARROWS IN THE FIRST PICTURE ABOVE). These will be the wires you splice into.

4. Splice into the wires. You'll want to get some nice wire strippers or VERY CAREFULLY use cutters to strip back the wire casing a little bit on each wire for the B&M wires to splice into. You will take the RED wire on the B&M unit and splice it with the RED w/ BLACK STRIPE wire on the back of the ECU. Then you'll take the BLACK wire from the B&M unit and splice it with the LIGHT BLUE w/ WHITE STRIPE wire on the back of the ECU. Once both splices are done and electrical taped back up for protection, you're finished!
**to make installation much faster and cleaner, I would recommend getting some self-splicing connectors to use for the connections**

All installations are done at OWN RISK. I will NOT be held responsible for any type of harm or damage caused to ones equipment or vehicle. Thank you!
