Energy Smart System (ESS®) Vehicle
Harness Installation
NOTE: Some vehicles have a Snow Plow Interface Mod-
ule (SPIM). If you choose to utilize that system, please
see the Sno-Way website for details and kit part num-
bers. The instructions for installing the ESS Vehicle Har-
ness with an SPIM adapter can be found in the adapter
kit.
1. If you do not have any other plows that require the
EIS harness, remove it from your truck. Multiple light
systems could complicate the ability to trouble shoot the
ESS system in the future.
2. Remove the ESS Vehicle Harness from the box.

3. Find the spot on the harness where the Green, Blue,
Red/white, Brown, Yellow, and Gray wires all come out
from the loom. Cut off the green wire labeled "Low Beam"
and blue wire labeled "High Beam". Removed wires are
utilized with the SPIM only.
4. If your vehicle is equipped with daytime run lights that
are separate from your marker lights, continue to the next
step. If your vehicle is NOT equipped with daytime run
lights that are separate from your marker light, cut off the
red/white wire labeled "DRL".
5. Remove the ESS Vehicle Receiver from the box (See
Figure 1-2). Connect the 14 pin connector to the ESS
Vehicle Harness. Also, attach the 4 pin female dust cap to
the 4 pin connector of the ESS Vehicle Receiver.

6. Attach the red wire of the ESS Vehicle Harness to the
positive terminal of the primary battery or vehicle specific
accessory power post.
NOTE: Some vehicle manufacturers request to attach
any power cables for accessories to a specified location
near the battery, rather than attaching directly to the posi-
tive battery post.
7. Attach the black wire of the ESS Vehicle Harness to
the NEG (-) terminal of the battery.
8. Spray all terminal connections with a battery terminal
protective coating.
NOTE: Take extra time to plan the routing of wiring har-
nesses and placement of the receiver. Make sure har-
nesses do not interfere with or contact any moving parts
and route wires away from excessive heat areas. Read
all the instructions carefully to ensure a safe and profes-
sional installation.
9. Route the Red/white (If not removed), Brown, Yellow,
and Gray wires of the harness to a convenient point
where the positive voltage for the Marker, DRL, and Left
Turn or Right turn can be accessed. Typically, right
behind the headlight is a good source to find those wires.
10. Keep in mind a location to mount or stash the vehicle
receiver.
