How do you hook up the blue wire that says Accessory Switch? The instructions aren't particularly clear.

You have a constant, a negative, and a switch. So when you turn on and off the switch the stereo turns on and off. This way it's never left on. Tap into any power supply that has to do with the ignition turning on. Let me know if you have any other questions.

Tom. Hook it to 12V positive along with the red wire with the fuse. The blue one can be used for a remote switch if need be. Doug

You need to buy a switch and hook up the blue wire to this switch. If you wire it in with the red wire, then you will constantly drain your battery.

Normally, that would hook up to the back of the head unit in the boat. If you plan on using just the iPod hook up you can simply wire nut the blue wire in with your red power wire, unfortunately this means your amp will constantly be on, so if you toss a simple switch in there, you can turn the amp on and off if you can't simply pull the fuse between uses.

Ill have to look at it when I get home but I'm pretty sure you only need that if you are hooking it up to a head unit. If so it would go to the "remote" blue wire on the head unit.

Find a wire that turns on and off with your key/ignition and splice the blue wire into that connection so the amp will power on and off with the key. Or a toggle switch is another great option. It will have 3 connectors, one for each of your wires. 12V battery power, ground, and the blue accessory wire.

Thanks for the answer, buddy!I tried just wiring the "rear center" into "rear right + & -" but haven't found out if it works (was going to test tonight). Your first method is to wire "rear center" wires into "rear left +" and "rear right -", right?

The L, N and GROUND are for the AC Input. The WHITE wire from the strip goes to the +12 V screw on the Power supply. If you hook the Blue wire to COM, the BLUE LEDs will light. If you hook the Green wire to COM, the GREEN LEDs will light and the same for the RED wire/RED LEDs. If you hook Blue, Green and Red all up to COM at the same time you will get WHITE. There should have been a small white controller box and a remote control. The strip hooks to the controller and then the +12v and COM from the power supply hook to the power connector on the controller. Then with the remote you can select the color and pattern you want the strip to use.

I assume that you want to hard-wire your power cord. I seem to remember some instructions on how to do that, that came with the unit. If you did not get that information, I'm sure Waste King would gladly email the instructions to you. Give that a try.

Here is the link to the KB website that will give you the directions on how to wire the control. http://www.kbelectronics.com/manuals/kbwc_manual.pdf

You either need to hardwire it or get a pigtail to plug it in. I suggest hardwiring it.

I powered it from the battery and used some relays to activate with the key. I am running a set of PIAAs on the front and a back up light (LED) on the rear. I ran wire and power for all 4 switches at one time so i didn't have to do it later. Power comes in through the plug just behind the master cylinder on the firewall. There are other places but that was the most convenient for me. Another option is the SPod that is run off a single wire. It is really nice and really expensive. Good luck!

The blue wire is a remote power switch for the backup camera function.The display has two video inputs, AV1 and either AV2 or a backup camera. You use the buttons on the front and leave the blue wire disconnected if you're just using the display for AV. Putting power on the blue wire (red must have power also) will turn the display on and select input 2 without pressing the power button. It also puts a CAR BACK message instead of AV2 in the corner of the display when there is no video signal.The display will turn on with as little as 3V on the blue wire so you could connect your video to input 2 (female RCA) and an I/O to the blue wire to turn the display on and off.

You need to find the load wire. It's probably black. Find the hot wire..black to the switch black. Load wire to blue switch wire. White box wire to switch white wire. Ground the bare wire to the box.

No there are only the red/black leads and the 3rd lead (orange wire) to hook to one of your parking lights. There are no instructions about connecting to an accessory switch. By the way, I hooked up my CTEK battery charger this week and noted the LED's came on so I'll have to disconnect the module at the battery when I want to maintain/charge my battery apparently. Hope this helps -

Hi Dale just join the two red wires together and run them to positive and the black wires to negative leaving the fine black wire not connected good luck Chris A.

Please check with the manual if the wire is a "one way" wire. Should be plug and play, have your installer double check the installation, thank you.

no you don't ,i would go online and see if you can bring up the instruction booklet or even go to u tube and i remember a couple videos of people wiring them in. all i remember is it was easier than i hoped for and i am not good with electricity!

ok i had the same problem after i installed the forth light to the back because i had only three lights installed (front and both sides)...the wires are thin so u have to be really careful when wrapping the cords.. plug them out then plug back in and see. right now only the blue works perfectly but i notice wen i shake the wires all the colors works.

The proper way of wiring this switch and if it needed AC or DC was confusing to me as well. Here's a good picture showing how to wire it with DC: https://www.greenlivingforu.com/sites/default/files/100_2488.JPG
