Next install the 6ga black wire from the 3/8” ground post on the DPM to a good
ground on the vehicle. This step is just as important as the red wires connected in
the previous steps. Examples of a good ground would be the engine block, chassis
frame (with paint scraped off) or to the negative ( - ) post on the Main Battery. Ideally
your vehicle will have a large ground wire run from the engine to the frame and from
the frame to the body. If not, it is highly recommended to add these wires to improve
the performance of your vehicles electrical system. PAINLESS GROUND STRAP KIT

Last step is to drill a 5/16” hole in a suitable dashboard location for the remote
indicator light. In this kit, we have provided you with a bl
ue 5/16” light that will
provide y
ou with the DPM’s current state during operation in the vehicle.
11. Insert the remote indicator light into the hole drilled in step 9 and run the two wires
out to the DPM unit.
12. Cut the 18ga red wire to length, apply the provided ring terminal and attach it to the
small 10-32 threaded post on the DPM.
13. Next, find a suitable ground location for the 18ga black wire and permanently ground
it to the vehicle using the provided ring terminal, #10 star washer and black self tap
screw.
14. Connect the red 18 gauge wire with the 5/16 ring terminal on it and the fuse holder to
the MB post with the 10” wire on the Jump Start solenoid. See the installation
Schematic for more details.
15. Connect the red 18 gauge wire with the #10 size ring terminal to the small 10-32
solenoid winding post on the right hand side of the jump start solenoid. Route this
wire with the previous 18 gauge wire from step 14 to a suitable location for the Jump
Start push-button switch. The location of the switch needs to be reachable with
one’s left hand when one’s right hand is being used to turn the ignition switch to the
start position. Once this location is determined, drill a 15/32” hole and mount the
jump start push-button switch.
16. Cut to length both 18 gauge red wires and then strip and crimp on one .250 female
spade terminal to each wire. Connect one red wire to each side of the Jump Start
push-button switch. (Polarity is not important on this step. Either wire can be
connected to either terminal on the switch.)
17. Lastly, connect the preterminated 18 gauge black wire to the small 10-32 solenoid
winding post on the left hand side of the jump start solenoid and then over to the
5/16” GROUND terminal on the DPM. See the Installation Schematic on page 4 for
more details.
