- Put the ring connector the brown ground wire. Screw this to any portion of the chassis that is metallic and can act as a ground for the cables.
- With the vehicle OFF, use a multimeter to find the fuse that has 12 volts of constant power. Multimeter should be set to Direct Current Voltage 20 (DCV 20).
- Connect the red Constant Wire into the inline fuse holder and then connect the inline fuse holder into the constant fuse found with the multimeter.
- For the black ignition wire, start with the vehicle off.
- Use the multimeter to find a fuse with 0 volts of power.
- Turn ON the vehicle, to see if the multimeter picks up around 12 volts of power. If it is still reading 0 volts, turn off the vehicle and find another fuse with a reading of 0 volts and repeat the process.
- Once you find a fuse that has 0 volts when the vehicle is off and around 12 volts when the vehicle is on, check the functions of the vehicle (i.e. power windows, lights, radio) to ensure the fuse does not go below 10 volts of power.
- If any vehicle function causes the fuse to go below 10 volts of power, turn off the vehicle.
- Find another fuse that has 0 volts when the vehicle is off and 12 volts when the vehicle is on.
- Test until you find a fuse that does not lose power while using other vehicle functions.
- Connect the black Ignition Wire into the inline fuse holder and then connect the inline fuse holder into the ignition fuse found with the multimeter.
- Close the fuse box, reassemble any portions of the dashboard or console that were taken apart to route the wires.
