terminal, included
with the unit to
one end of the
black wire. Refer

5. Connect the spade
terminal to the
vehicle chassis ground.
6. Strip the red +12 VDC tap wire and the red harness cable wire to 3/
16”- 1/4” (5-6 mm), then connect the wires using a butt splice.
7. Strip both the black chassis ground tap wire and the black harness
cable wire to 3/16”- 1/4” (5-6 mm), then connect the wires using a
butt splice.
8. Install the fuse into the fuse holder in the red +12 VDC wire.

dash.
CAUTION: If the connections are on the driver’s side, make sure the wires can not
become entangled in the vehicle pedals or driver’s feet.
