What do I do with the thick blue wire on Connector 1?
A: It is used to power a (+) 2nd Ignition. You can also change the output via jumper within the control module. It can
be changed to power a (+) 2nd Accessory or (+) Parking light wire.
I need a ground when armed wire, does the control module have one?
A: You can use pin 1-blue/white wire on the Grey Connector 5. You must cut this wire and place a diode in
line so that when the ignition on the other side of the relay goes to ground and it doesn’t back feed to your
accessory. Install the stripe side of the diode facing the control module.
What do I do with the 6 Pin harness on Connector 3?
A: The 6 Pin harness on Connector 3 is used for low current ignition harnesses. DO NOT use this harness
with the Connector 1 Harness (the high current power harness) this is ONLY to be used in LOW current
applications where High current is not needed for any reason.
