With the old relay out, you just need to slide the new ABS unit into place the same way the old one came out. Be sure all of your wiring is out of the way before you press it into place so you don't smash or crimp any of them. Now install all of the harness plugs the way they came out. It's almost impossible to get it wrong because the plugs are designed to fit only in the proper hole. Many are also color coded.

Be sure to properly reinstall the protective cover to keep moisture away from the sensitive electronics. Reconnect your battery and you're good to go!
