Here's how to install the wire set.

DISCLAIMER: This set of wires is purchased and used solely at your own risk. I will not be held responsible or liable for any harm or damage that comes to your car or to you. What you are installing is a set of wires, nothing more. Take every reasonable precaution for safety when installing. Use good judgment and common sense. Installation of the Betty's Garage Grounding Wires do not necessarily void your factory warranty on electrical components in your car unless it can be proven that they are the cause of the malfunction. With proper installation they will not be.

Tools needed:

• 10 mm socket
• 8 mm socket
• ratchet
• short extension or a deep 10 mm socket
• 5 mm Allen wrench

All bolts shown are 10 mm.

1. DISCONNECT THE NEGATIVE BATTERY CABLE! You should always disconnect the negative battery cable before doing anything electrical on your car. Always!

2. Take either end of the longest wire and connect it to your negative battery terminal. Leave this negative terminal disconnected until you finish all the steps before coming back to where you started and reconnecting the cable.



3. Run the wire through the opening that has the single bundle of wires running through it. There is enough room for you to run the grounding wire along side the wire bundle that's already there.




4. Connect the other end of the long wire to the bolt on the strut tower where there is already a tiny grounding wire anchored. Run the new wire underneath the existing one. Don't tighten the bolt all the way as you will attach another wire here. You can use the cable ties to attach the wire to the bundle of wires that it runs along for a factory looking install.



5. Connect either end of the second longest wire to the same point you just terminated the first wire. Place both ring terminals on top on one another under the existing puny wire. Tighten bolt.



6. Run the wire under your intake tubing and connect to the bolt on the front side of the engine block shown on the passenger side. Tighten bolt.



7. Connect either end of the shortest wire to the bolt shown on the driver side. You may need to use a short extension or a deep 10 mm socket to reach this bolt easily.



8. Connect the other end of the this wire to the bolt shown that holds the bracket for the relay box. '07+ SEDAN OWNERS NOTE: You don't have the bolt shown in this step, just a plastic cover there. Connect it to either of the factory grounding points show right beside where this wire is connected.



In addition to the instructions for the original wires, here's how to install the throttle body upgrade (the dual cable pictured above):

9. Remove your engine cover.

10. Connect the shorter of the two 8 AWG cables that have the spade terminal ends to the passenger side throttle body. You can do this in one of 3 places: 1) on the lower inset hex screw on the firewall side of the TB, 2) on the upper inset hex screw on the top firewall side of the TB, 3) underneath the stainless steel nut on top of the TB. The first 2 locations are a very tight fit and it may be easier to get the spade terminal connected by disconnecting the intake tubing. The spade will go on the TB screws but it's tight. The next larger size was too loose and may disconnect if you don't tighten the screw down enough. Under the nut on top of the TB is the easiest of the 3 locations (props to KODG MAN! ) but it's your choice as any of the three will work just fine.

11. Connect the longer of the two 8 AWG cables that have the spade terminal ends to the driver side throttle body in your choice of the same 3 same locations as the other side. The cable length is designed to run underneath the various lines/hoses behind the top of the engine. This will make it very inconspicuous with the cover replaced and have it out of the way of everything.



12. Finally, run the end with the 4 AWG ring terminal where both wires are spliced together back through the same grommet as the battery to chassis cable (the first one). Attach it along with the other cable and reconnect your battery terminal.

13. Voila! You are done. Enjoy.

You will need to reset your windows since your battery has been disconnected. To perform a window reset, start your car then hold down the driver side window button until the window goes all the way down and then continue for another 20 seconds. Do the same when rolling it up. Repeat on the passenger side window. You'll may also need to reset your radio station presets.
