Dodge Ram Pickup Back Up Alarm Installation And Review Videos

Custer Surface Mount Back-up Alarm Installation - 2009 Dodge Ram Pickup- Video

Today on our 2009 Dodge Ram Pickup we'll be installing the Custer Electronics Surface Mount Back-up Alarm. Part number BK97DB. Our back-up alarm will mount on the passenger side, underneath the tail light assembly. To begin our install, we'll first go ahead and attach our power and ground wire to the back-up alarm up. To do this, we'll take a piece of wire, strip back both ends and end ring terminal to each side. This application, we use the white wires are ground and brown wire is our power. We'll go ahead and put it on the studs at the back-up alarm and then secure with a knot supply with the back-up alarm. Now with our wire secures to the back-up alarm, we'll go ahead and mount the back-up alarm underneath the pickup bed. Note we'll be using the self-tapping screws to secure the back-up alarm and we'll locate an area where the sheet metal doubles up for a more secure mounting location. Now with our alarm mounted, we'll go ahead and route the wire up behind the passenger side tail assembly following the manufacturer's wiring. Next, we'll go ahead and open the tail gate, remove the 2 fasteners and secure the tail light assembly and pop it free from its mounting location. Note, be careful not to break the alignment tabs underneath the tail light assembly. Next, we'll go ahead and pull the wiring through the excess hole and take the white wire and a ring terminal. more
