step 1
Ground Wire
The BLACK wire on the main 8-pin harness is ground. This
wire should be connected to a clean, paint-free area of metal in
the drivers kick panel area. First strip back a ¾-inch section of
the insulation off the BLACK wire and crimp a ring terminal
(not provided) to that wire. Locate a clean, paint-free metal
surface in the drivers kick panel. Using a self-tapping screw, drill
the screw with the ring terminal to the metal area. Once screwed
down, pull on the wire to ensure a good connection.

More problems are attributed to poor ground con-
nections than any other cause. Take extra care to ensure
the ground is clean and secure.
