Step 6: Loosen up the fuse box bolt using a 10mm socket wrench. The back side of the fuse box has a plastic l brack that holds the back in place so you won't need to go digging for it.

Step 7: Locate the connector on the back (towards the a pillar) of the fuse box with the orange, red, green, blue, and black connectors. Disconnect this connector and locate the BLUE/BLACK 12 gauge wire.

Step 8: Locate the wires coming in from the door (look way up in the A pillar). There will be a 14 gauge YELLOW/GREEN wire (yellow with green strip). Cut this wire about 3" from where it goes into the pillar.

STEP 9: Use 6" of 12 gauge wire and a yellow tap quick splice and connect it to the 12 gauge BLUE/BLACK (blue wire with black stripe) wire. Use a pair of pliers to compress the metal tab first, then click the quick splice cover in place.

STEP 11: This is when it's the right time to use an ohmmeter to check that the window connector and the fuse box connector have good connectivity. Place one lead of the ohmetter into the YELLOW/GREEN wire connector for the window switch and the other lead into the BLUE/BLACK wire connector for the fuse box. Ensure 0 ohms. Zip tie the wire in place. Reconnect everything. Test the window to ensure you can open and close it using the passenger side window switch with or without the window lock switch enabled on the driver's side door. When finished, reattach all fasteners, covers, and plates. Enjoy!
