    finding the wires you need IMPORTANT! Do not use a 12V test light or logic probe/computer safe test light to locate these wires! All testing described in this manual assumes the use of a digital multimeter. obtaining constant 12V We recommend two possible sources for 12V constant: The (+) terminal of the battery, or the constant 12V supply to the ignition switch.

    5. Cut the wire you suspect of being the starter wire. 6. Attempt to start the car. If the starter engages, reconnect it and go back to Step 3. If the starter does not turn over, you have the right wire. finding the 12V switched ignition wire The ignition wire is powered when the key is in the run or start position.

    How to find a (+) parking light flash wire with your multimeter: 1. Set to DCV or DC voltage (12V or 20V is fine). 2. Attach the (-) probe of the meter to chassis ground. 3. Probe the wire you suspect of being the parking light wire. Usually, the area near the headlight/parking light switch is an excellent area to start, as is the kick panel.
