Disconnecting electric power steering

[JoshRDavis.84]

hey guys, today I helped my father in law install his 2" rough country leveling kit on his 2016 4x4 dbl cab z71.

 

we disconnected the electric power steering as the instructions said, and I don't believe we damaged the plugs in any way, but they don't "click" back on, and can be removed without sliding the retaining clip out.

 

anyone have any issues like this? I dont think they will come off , and we wire tied then just in case, but they arnt right.

 

any input or thought is greatly appreciated.

When something like this happens go back to the absolute basics make 100% sure the correct male plug is going to the correct female plug. Don't just glance at it TAKE IT BACK APART AND REALLY LOOK AT IT and make SURE it is orientated correctly.

thanks for the reply. they can only go one way and Im pretty confident they are on correctly. we looked them over and took them on and off quite a few times after we realized they we rnt on as tight as original. good to double check, steering seems to be working fine also.

How did it go? I'm fixing to do this myself,  does the control arms and such have to be removed? I am using RC 2 inch leveling struts.
