    4. Vehicle Wiring 4.1 To connect power- It is helpful to review the owner’s manual of each vehicle to determine which wires are acceptable to use. Test probable wires with a digital voltmeter to determine if they have the proper voltage in both the engine running, and engine off states. It is recommended that a 14- 18 gauge wire crimp be used to splice onto the proper wire.

    4.3 Securing ground wire. Strip enough slack in the power cable to allow sufficient length as to attach the black wire to a solid metal surface that is welded, not bolted to an under dash support. Add a grounding ring connector to the end of the black wire, crimp it and screw it securely onto a non painted metal frame or plate.
