Now that the accessories have been located, find the wire suspected to be the starter wire according to the web information on your vehicle. Place the red lead of your meter on the wire. With the key in the off position the meter should read 0.00 volts and will stay at 0.00 volts in all key positions except the crank position. In the crank position your meter should read between
10.00volts and 13.00 volts, and will drop back to 0.00 volts when the starter disengages. Once you locate the starter wire, cut the wire in half and try to start the vehicle. (Always check the Web site information on your vehicle for warnings regarding the starter wire and check engine lights. Some vehicles will trip a check engine light if the starter wire is cut.) If the vehicle does not start, the correct wire has been identified. Reconnect the starter wire while soldering the thick VIOLET wire off the relay satellite pack to it and cover the connection with electrical tape.
