Automotive Carpet Replacement: Install Computer & Cover

Video Transcript

"Okay, in this segment we're going to cover installing the computer and the computer cover. First, what we want to do is this carpet here where the vent comes out underneath the seat on the passenger's side, we don't have a wiring harness to fold it under. So, what I've done is taken the lip and folded it back, so it's smashes down and holds itself down. That way that won't be in the way of that vent. First we want to take the computer, make sure we got it lined up right--the three mounting points. And check our electric connectors. And just start--we'll go from left to right. This large one first, push in till it clicks. Do not force these, make sure that they go in correctly. They should slide in normally and click when they lock. If they're real hard, check, make sure you've got it in line correctly, and you don't have anything that might be blocking the port of entry or causing you a problem. Lock them all in place. Then we just want to slide it over to where it bolts down. It's going to use three of these six millimeter bolts with ten millimeter head that are about an inch long. And we just want to go around and get the three bolts started. Now I've got a ten millimeter deep socket--I don't need it for this application, it's just handy, it gets it up a little higher and easier for me to reach. I'll put a ratchet on to try to get it to speed down. Then I'm just going to go around and snug all three of them. Then I'll tighten them down. The next step is a cover, and it's going to come and cover this wiring harness assembly, and it's going to go into that machined portion of the computer itself, so it's going to be a small four--three or four millimeter machined screw head that goes into those two slots. Go ahead and put those two screws in place and that'll conclude installing the computer and the computer cover. Please watch our next segment, we're going to cover installing the center console."
