Place the small cap from the eliminator on the transmission connector, then connect the larger piece of the eliminator to the wire that comes down from above. Use a zip tie to secure the wire and large part of the eliminator out of the way, lower the car, and you are on your way.

Also, you could just go to Radio Shack, and pay $1 for a pack of 5 2.2kΩ Resisters. Plug the resister into the CAGS female connecter, and wrap w/ electrical tape. Done!!

It took more time to jack up the car and crawl under it, than it did to install the CAGS eliminator.
