warning! Before making any connection to constant battery power make sure that the two green 30 amp fuses are removed from the fuse holders on the two thick red wires. Failure to do so may cause fire or shorting of sensitive electrical components.

 

Once the constant power wire has been identified, solder the two

 

thick RED wires from the relay satellite pack to it and cover the

 

connection with electrical tape to ensure a safe connection.

 

With the meter black lead still in the kick panel, locate the igni-

 

tion wire harness in the same location. It will test differently than

 

constant (+)12 volts. Locate the suspected wire using the

 

www.diyrattler.com Web site and place the red lead of the meter

 

on the suspected wire. With the key in the off position the meter

 

will read 0.00 volts. Turn the key to the on position and the meter

 

should read between 11.00 volts and 13.00 volts. Now watching

 

the meter, turn the key to the crank position and the voltage

 

should drop a small amount but not disappear. If the voltage

 

disappears this is not an ignition wire but an accessory wire. If the

 

wire meters correctly, solder the thick PINK wire of the relay

 

satellite pack to it and cover the connection with electrical tape.
