Questions and answers
I installed the amp research power step on a Dodge ram 2500 diesel. The last step I plugged the door leg of the OBM wiring into the wrong green box (There are 2 side by side) I was unable to remove the plug without destroying it. Can I purchase the OBM portion or a pigtail of the door sensor wires?
