Hi Michael,
You should disconnect the battery first, then unbolt the plug
on the controller until it starts to drag a little, then wiggle the plug.
The plug should come loose enough to finish unbolting it. Then, unbolt the
three other bolts on the fender well. Reverse this to install. You should
do a code test next. You should get a 12 and a 55 only. 12 is loss of
battery power and 55 is end of test.
This can take a whole 1/4 of an hour if it is pitch black out and you
don't have a flashlite!
Cheers!
