LOCATING & MAKING
CONNECTIONS
CONSTANT POWER (+12V, key in any position including off)
This system operates on constant 12 volts, the system also needs a source
of power that is only on when the ignition is turned on (usually referred
to as “Ignition Power”.
1. Locate the wires going to your vehicle’s ignition switch (usually located
coming down the steering column). When looking for constant 12 volts:
Usually a large gauge wire located at the ignition switch harness. Probe
these wires until you find one that turns a “computer-friendly” test light,
or shows 12 volts when the ignition switch is turned to the ON, OFF,
START and ACCESSORY positions. If this wire cannot be located at the
ignition switch harness, run at least a 16 gauge wire from the positive
battery terminal fused at 6 inches from the positive battery post to the
inside of the vehicle through the firewall. (Additional hardware is needed.)
2. Mark this with its function “Constant Power”.
