Page 6: Finding The Wires You Need
Finding the wires you need important! Do not use a 12v test light or logic probe/computer safe test light to locate these wires! All testing described in this manual assumes the use of a digital multimeter. We recommend two possible sources for 12v constant: the (+) terminal of the battery, or the c...
