Connect the yellow (constant power) input lead to a source of constant battery power, preferably a terminal to an appropriate slot in the fuse box.
Connect the red (turn-on power) input lead only after the other leads are connected. Be sure to connect the red lead to a positive (+) 12 Volt power terminal that is energized only
