Wiring the Steering Wheel Controls
- Identify wires: Locate two brown wires labeled key one and key two.
- Ignore the third plug: There is a third plug that does not fit or connect to anything. (There is no third plug anymore)
- Cut all wires on this plug: Except, you only need the black wire(s) from this group. (Don't need to do any more)
- Select any black wire: There are three black wires; all serve as ground, so any one can be used.
- Connect the ground wire: Strip the black wire and connect it to the yellow and green wire on the main harness.
-
Make key connections:
- Connect key two (brown wire) to the red and green wire.
- Connect key one (brown wire) to the orange wire.
- Use extra wire if needed: For extension purposes, strip and connect wires securely
