Black/White
: 18 gauge wire, printed
[ACCESSORY SECTION] #930 RADIO
DIM/BACKLIGHT
, this wire will provide a power signal to the radio to dim the back
lighting/display during low light conditions. On older radios this power source will
illuminate the backlighting. The black/white
#930
is tied to the other
#930
wire coming
from the headlight switch to the gauge lights. This wire will have power anytime the
headlight switch is in the Park/Tail Lights ON or Headlights ON position. This wire can
be seen in the
Headlight Switch Schematic
on page 61.
If you have a gear indicator light on a floor mount shifter, you will need to link a
wire from the
#930
wire at the radio to one side of the gear indicator light. Linking or
Chaining was explained on page 86 in the Instrument Panel instructions. Linking from
the
#930
wire will provide power to the gear indicator light. The ground side of the gear
indicator light can be connected directly to a clean chassis ground source, either from a
wire or directly to the floor pan/transmission tunnel.
If you are using an aftermarket radio, refer to the manufacturer’s
installation guide for proper connection. Splices and quick disconnect
terminals have been provided in the parts kit.
If you are using a factory radio, a factory schematic for the vehicle it came
out of will be needed to identify the connections to the radio.
Many older radios require one power source, Painless recommends
connecting the
#941
to the radio in these circumstances so that the radio
will only operate when the ignition switch is in the ACCESSORY or
ON/RUN position. This will prevent the radio from draining the battery if it
is accidentally left on.
Reverse Switch
The reverse switch connection will provide the backup lights the power they need
to illuminate. This switch is a 2 pin normally open switch that has power coming into one
side and power going out the other side to the backup lights. When the shifter is put into
the reverse position, contact is made between these two pins, closing the switch. This
allows power to flow from one pin to another, transferring power through the switch out
to the backup lamps. The two wires provided for this option are:
Black/Pink
: 16 gauge wire, printed
[ACCESSORY SECTION] #958 REVERSE
SWITCH INPUT/IGN POWER ACCESSORY
, this wire comes from the 15 amp
RADIO/REVERSE fuse on the fuse block. This wire is a switched ignition power wire
meaning it will only have power when the ignition switch is in the ACCESSORY and
ON/RUN positions.
If you do not have back up lights,
#958
can be used to power an accessory
requiring a switched 12v power source.
Black/Light Green
: 16 gauge wire, printed
[ACCESSORY SECTION] #923 POWER
FROM REVERSE SWITCH [TAIL SECTION],
this wire provides power from the reverse
switch to the backup lights in the Tail Section of the Painless harness.
