Connect this wire to a circuit that provides a negative signal when the vehicle is in park.
This can be done by connecting to a factory park safety circuit or by using the provided SFT
contact set. This wire must be connected for the system to work properly.
Under the driver's side dash, or at the steering column, find the automatic transmission shift
mechanism or strut. Find a mounting location in the park position in which the safety con-
tact and magnet can be located 1/4in apart, tip to tip. Remove the cover to expose the adhe-
sive backing on the magnet & stick in place. Use silicon or epoxy glue to form a permanent
hold and let it set until tacked. Use tie straps to attach the contact to the shift stabilizing
strut. With a multi-meter attached to the white wires of the contact, you should read a closed
circuit when the vehicle is in park. If your meter does not read a closed circuit, gradually
move the contact closer to the magnet unit you have a closed circuit. Now move the trans-
mission from the park to the reverse position, the meter should now show an open circuit. If
the circuit is still closed, gradually move the contact away from the magnet until the circuit
show open. If you have made this adjustment test again that the circuit shows closed when
in park. Once properly aligned you can permanently fix the contact in place with silicone or
epoxy glue. Connect one of the white contact wires to chassis ground.
Determine if the vehicle is factory equipped with an "in park" output. To work properly it
must supply a 12 volt negative signal with a 500mA headroom capacity. This means that in
addition to the load of the circuits it is designed to supply this signal must be capable of sup-
porting an additional 500mA. NOTE, if you are uncertain about the capacity or functionality
of a factory "in park" circuit DO NOT TIE INTO IT. On many newer vehicles the side ef-
fects will not be realized right away and can cause undesired operation. It is wiser and easier
to user the park safety contact set that is supplied in the kit then to track down problems
later!
