I found a fuse under the hood that was controlled by the ignition switch and I tapped off of it with a fuse stab all my wiring i left under the hood because i could not find a fuse in the cab that was controlled by the switch. the yellow wire is wired directly to the battery, also make sure you leave the black ground wire un hooked under the hood

You can get power for the main fused wire for the compressor directly from the positive post of the battery. For the other wire that turns the system on only when the key is on you must use a light probe and find a wire that is on only with the key. otherwise the compressor can run when it is parked and the height changes like you step up on the bumper. I also have a cab mounted gauge and kneel valve.

Run wire harness up into the engine compartment on fuse box side and put spade electrical in with a key controlled fuse as in my case was the cigarette lighter that is off with key but any fuse that is controlled by the key is good. I to didnot want it in the cab

Check your vehicles wiring diagram. You should be able to tie into the keyed power line in your hitch electrical connection. I recommend finding a junk yard and purchasing the male and female ends of the electrical union joint closest to your hitch so you do. Not have to cut into your electrical harness.

I don't think you have to do that. I do think that you'll have to have stuff turned off before you fire it up. It's too much of a drain having it draw everything. I had problems starting my 13500 btu AC unit. Started the gen, then turned on the AC. Compressor wouldn't turn over. Turns out there must be a capacitor in the AC that stores startup power. I ran the gen for about 5 minutes with no load, then turned on the AC. All went well. Be warned....This unit is HEAVY and LOUD. I thought I could get by going El Cheapo. But now I'm thinking of buying a Champion 3000 watt Inverter unit for $900 or two Honda 2000's in parallel. I don't think you have to do that.

The Rider comes with a wiring harness. I ran mine under the gas tank and seat to the fuse box. I connected the red live wire to a fuse that is on when the key is turned on. The black is connected to the ground on the battery.

The accessory power cable needs to be wired to accessory power from the ignition switch. If you want the unit on without the switch on you have to wire the accessory wire directly to a hot wire, like the POS. on the battery. I believe the accessory wire is yellow but check your manual to be sure.

The blue wire coming from the amp is the remote turn on wire. If the stereo unit that you are connecting to this amplifier doesn't have a remote turn on lead (it should also be blue or blue w/white stripe) then you should connect the blue wire from the amplifier to the switched ignition connection (usually red, with constant on being yellow) so when you turn the key on,the amplifier will turn on as well.

Bring up Bulldog.com they have wiring and special use diagrams for your vehicle but if your vehicle starts and then dies this is probably not the problem if your car has a smart key (chipped) it would crank but not start simple way to check is to insert key in ignition leave it in the off position attempt to a start with remote if it starts and runs you need this if it does not or does as it is now recheck your wiring esp. ignition 1 and ignition 2 connections remember do not use crimp style connectors I hope this helps

You are using the NON OBD unit. Connections are for TEMP,RPM, and SPEED. I would buy the ODB version if your car has ODB. Works great.

Dear DrCosmo Thank you for your inquiry. If you have used your lighter, then just cut the wires and then connect them to your car's Plus-n-Minus. Sincerely yours, Astra Depot

This part controls the battery power from getting to the starter. If screwed all the way down, it will allow power to go to the starter. If unscrewed most of the way, it prevents power to the starter, thus preventing the car to start... if your having starting/battery issues, make sure they green knob is screwed all the way one direction or the other.. if you disconnect the battery, your car shouldn't start, so not sure your intension of hte last part of your question...Hope this helps.... Good Luck !!

Hi, the compressor and tank combo is prewired, all it needs is power and ground. The power should be run through as relay, that is connected to the ignition, this will allow the pump to run only when the key is in the on position. The horn itself has an electric solenoid. This kit will include a small button that can be used to activate the horn, or if you prefer you can wire it to the factory horn.

I believe that is untrue. That owner likely misfired his unit. There should be a primary wire to power that is turned on by the ignition key. I think there is a secondary line that goes direct to battery so that the presets do not get lost.

They are easy to hook up,just connect the positive side,white or red,to a similar color,it must be a switched wire,one that turns off with the ignition key off.the other wire hooks to a ground,generally black.

It is wired similar to connecting a fuse housing unit at the battery of the vehicle. You can use o-ring connectors to help in connecting the wires to each side of the breaker. You could connect the wire straight to the breaker, but be aware that you will have exposed copper within the engine compartment, this is not recommended. Hope this helps.

I had to cap the extra wires, AND, I ran a jumper wire from the lighter (orange, I believe) to the harness because it was recommended on a Dodge forum. Something about the stock ignition power wire not working with after-market equipment. I used mine on an '05 Magnum, if that makes any difference.

You place it into the ignition with the fob showing the lock unlock buttons towards the driver door, then turn on the vehicle. The "key" that comes in fob is to unlock drivers door only. It is not for the ignition. This is good to have in case your battery is dead and the electronic door locks do not work.
