Component locations and finding wires
For detailed information on where to locate components, and how
to find the wires you need, please refer to the Direct Tech web site at
www.directechs.com.
Making your wiring connections
Before making your connections, plan how your wires will be routed
through the vehicle. For instance, the red 12V constant input and the re-
mote start igni tion wires are often routed together to the ignition switch
harness. In order to keep the wiring neat and make it harder to find,
you may wish to wrap these wires together in electrical tape or conceal
them in tubing similar to what the manufacturer used.
There are two acceptable ways of making a wire connection - solder
connections and crimp connectors. When properly performed, either
type of connection is reliable and trouble-free. Regardless of whether
you solder your connections or you use mechanical type crimp-on con-
nections, ensure that all connections are mechanically sound and that
they are insulated, especially when connecting data lines in the ve-
hicle.
Cheap electrical tape, especially when poorly applied, is not a reli-
able insu lator. It often falls off in hot weather. Use good quality electri-
cal tape or heat shrink.
Never twist-and-tape the wires together without soldering.
•
Never use “fuse taps”, as they can damage fuse box terminals.
•
If you use tapping connectors such as T-Taps (not to be confused with
Scotch-Locks), avoid using them in higher-current applications (constant
12V, ground, etc.) These connectors are inferior in quality and should
be avoided.
