11. Power Wire Options and Considerations. The TSS can be attached to Power in two different ways, switched power so
that the system goes off and on with the key or full time Battery direct Power. The TSS now comes with a Lit horn switch
that would need to be disconnected if not using switched power. The Honda Pioneer does not have easy access to
switched power. Honda Recommends if switched power is needed the best way is to tap into the accessory power wire in
the fuse box. If you want to have the horn switch lit then continue to step 12, if you are going to the battery direct then
go to step 14 and remove the Light Power from the switch before installing in dash.
CAUTION: Verify there is proper clearance behind dash for the switch before cutting!
12. Install the Turn and Horn/Hazard Switches - Using the provided switch template, mark the rectangle for the turn switch
and drill a hole in each corner, cut out the rectangle. Do the same for the vertical Horn/Hazard Switch. Install the switch
mount into the cutout, run the switch connectors through the cutout and grease (see below) the switch terminals on
both sides and attach and insert into cutout.
Dielectric Grease - LED flashers by design take very little current to activate. When water gets on the dash and
lands on the top of the switch, it can trickle to the connector causing it to activate the flasher by using the
switches LED indicator, the system will continue to operate and does not hurt the system but will continue
clicking until the switch terminals dry. Just like the OEM we recommend using Dielectric Grease on all switch
terminals, this keeps the water out and will stop the clicking, it also reduces corrosion and increases reliability!
Open the grease and put on the switch terminals and the connector terminals, the more the better, also put
some on the Horn/Hazard switch terminals. It should also be used on any extra switches that you may have
installed.
