Important Information
1. Use a voltmeter. DO NOT USE A TEST LIGHT! Test lights have a current drain that
will damage the vehicle’s onboard computer or could trigger the air bag.
2. Keep extension, if needed, as short as possible. Use same-gauge wire for extensions.
3. DO NOT mount components nor route wires near hot or moving vehicle parts.
NOTE: Clifford Electronics’ web site for Authorized Clifford Dealers has
detailed descriptions of wire colors and locations for most foreign and
domestic vehicles. See www.clifforddealers.com for assistance 24-hours per
day or refer to the latest quarterly Tech Support Database CD-ROM.
