10. Connect the 25' extension cable to the ELI display box
cable inside the cab.
11. Press the grommet into position in the utility hole. Apply
sealant to the grommet and extension cable to prevent
moisture intrusion into the cab.
12. Route the 25' extension cable from the cab to the fifth
wheel (Figure 31).
13. Route the wire clear of pinch points.
NOTE: For sliding fifth wheels, be sure to leave enough
slack for travel and route the wire clear of pinch
points. It can be helpful to route the wire through
an existing coiled air line.
14. Secure the 25' extension cable so that it is free of
interference from the fifth wheel articulation, brake
lines, light cord, drive line etc.
15. Connect the 25' extension cable to the wire harness on
the fifth wheel (Figure 32).
16. Test ELI for proper operation:
a. Make sure the fifth wheel locks are open.
b. Turn on the ignition/power. The ELI display should
run through a short system check, shown by the brief
illumination of the three display icons (Figure 33).
After the system check is complete, the yellow
"Ready to Couple" icon should be illuminated.
NOTE: If the display does not illuminate or an icon
other than the yellow "Ready to Couple" icon is
illuminated, proceed directly to the SAF-HOLLAND
ELI Troubleshooting Guide XL-FW10063TS-en-US.
c. Lock the fifth wheel top plate using a Holland lock tester
(TF-TLN-5001). The green "Closed Lock" icon should
be illuminated to indicate a proper coupling. If the
green icon does not appear:
