SECTION 4: INSTALLING THE POWER WIRE *OPTIONAL
*The OBD II port provides constant 12V+ power, so your Mini Maxx can power o of the OBD II port alone.
But in this situation the Mini Maxx will not turn on and o with the ignition. There is a switch on the OBDII
adapter plug in order to turn the Mini Maxx on and o.
In this section you will run the Power Wire coming from the Mini Maxx Cradle to the vehicle fuse box and
connect it to the fuse locations specied below. The fuse location for the Power Wire is dierent on each
vehicle application.
CONNECTING THE POWER WIRE:
1. Route wire to location shown in pictures found in the Vehicle Specic Section on page 30
2. Remove the fuse, indicated in the pictures, and insert the fuse jack. Make sure that the fuse jack is placed
on the dead side of the fuse to ensure that the Mini Maxx is protected by the fuse. Use a volt meter to verify
the dead side of the fuse. With the fuse pulled and the truck powered on but not started, the volt meter
should read 0 volts on the fuse jack to ground. Problems that can occur if the incorrect fuse is used for
this connection: the power may stay on continuously even with the key o; or, the Mini Maxx can receive
power at the incorrect time of the power-on/starting cycle of the vehicle.
3. Run the power wire through the re wall before preparing the Power Wire. Prepare the Power Wire by
stripping the end of the wire about ¼”. Connect the blue 90° connector to the end of the Power Wire using
crimping pliers.
4. Connect the Power Wire to the fuse jack, place the fuse back into the slot, and close the fuse box.
