DOME LIGHT SUPERVISION (Optional Part #775 required)
Before connecting the DOME LIGHT SUPERVISION, you must determine if your dome light is a (+) POSITIVE
or a (-) NEGATIVE. TO TEST for a (+) POSITIVE dome light wire, clip your test light to a good solid
ground, probe the dome light wire with the door closed and the dome light out, the test light should
not be illuminated. Open the door and the dome light turns on. If the test light is now illuminated
this is a (+) POSITIVE dome light wire. TEST for a (-) NEGATIVE dome light wire, clip your test
light to a good solid ground, probe the dome light wire with the door closed and the dome light
out. If the test light is illuminated, and when you open the
door and the dome light turns on, but the test light turns
out, this is a (-) NEGATIVE dome light wire.
(+) Positive Dome Light Type (Most Fords)
Connect the VIOLET wire from the 18-pin harness to the WHITE
wire on the optional #775 relay harness. Connect the BLACK
and the Blue wire on the optional relay to +12V constant fused
at 20 amps. Connect the YELLOW wire to the dome light circuit.
See diagram.
(-) Negative Dome Light Type (All other vehicles)
Connect the VIOLET wire from the 18-pin harness to the WHITE
wire on the optional #775 relay harness. Connect the BLACK
wire on the optional relay to +12V constant fused at 5 amps.
Connect the BLUE wire to ground. Connect the YELLOW wire to
the dome light circuit.
DO NOT USE THE RED WIRE, TAPE OFF.

TRUNK RELEASE OUTPUT (Optional Part #775 required)
Locate the trunk release wire coming from the
back of the trunk release switch. You must
determine if your trunk release is a (+) POSITIVE
or a (-) NEGATIVE. (most trunk releases are
(+) positive). TEST for a (+) POSITIVE trunk
release wire, clip your test light to a good
solid ground, probe the trunk release wire with
your test light, press and hold the trunk
release button, if the test light illuminates,
and then goes out when you release the button,
this is a (+) POSITIVE trunk release wire, see
POSITIVE TRUNK RELEASE diagram below for
connections. TEST for a (-) NEGATIVE trunk
release wire with your test light. Clip you
test light to a good solid ground, probe the
trunk release wire with your test light, if
the test light is illuminated, and you press
and hold the trunk release button, and the test
light goes out, now release the trunk button,
if the test light is illuminated once again,
this is a (-) NEGATIVE trunk release wire, see NEGATIVE TRUNK RELEASE diagram below for connections.
Connect the WHITE WITH RED STRIPE wire from the 18-pin harness to the WHITE wire of the optional
relay. Please see diagrams for correct connections.
