making your connections

When connecting the security system's wires to the wires in the vehicle it is important that the connections are
tight and no bare wire is exposed. In this section, two types of connections are described that may be used to
connect the wires from the security system into the vehicle's wiring. Both types of connections are electrically
acceptable if made correctly. Other types of "tap-in" connections, such as T-Taps are not acceptable.
