Ground the MP modem

Note: Electrical installations are potentially dangerous and should be performed by personnel thoroughly trained in safe electrical wiring procedures for vehicles.

Automotive installations usually provide a good quality ground for each piece of electrical equipment. In most cases, ground the MP modem by connecting the black ground wire of the power harness to either the vehicle chassis or to the negative terminal of the battery.

If a device connected to the MP modem, such as a notebook computer, is not properly grounded, it may ground itself through the cable connecting it to the MP modem. This creates a hazard and could cause equipment damage. If you cannot properly ground a device, a potential solution is to install a fuse in the ground return wire.

The power harness has 5 A fuses on the red power wire and the white ignition sense wire, but not on the black ground return wire. (See “Step 3—Install the power harness” on page 32.)
