SMI Stay-IN-Play DUO Braking System Installation - 2014 Ford C-Max

Today on our 2014 Ford C-Max, we'll be installing the SMI Stay-IN-Play DUO Supplemental Braking System, part number SM99251. First thing to note with this application, the SMI operating unit doesn't actually need the vacuum assist, so we're just going to go ahead and take a pair of side cutters, or tin snips, and cut our vacuum hose short. Next thing to note is the lack of clearance for mounting our Stay-IN-Play box here in the engine compartment. We're going to take our Stay-IN-Play operating unit and mount it in the back seat, underneath the driver's seat, to an access panel. With my seat moved all the way up and we remove the floor mat, we can easily see the access panel. The access panel allows for access to the charging cord for the C-Max vehicle. Special note, when mounting the box, make sure you leave enough wire and airline that you can actually remove the panel when necessary. more
