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 remote 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 con nec-
tions 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 connections, ensure that all connections
are mechanically sound and that they are insulated, especially when connecting
data lines in the vehicle.
Cheap electrical tape, especially when poorly applied, is not a reliable insu-
lator. It often falls off in hot weather. Use good quality electrical 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.
