Step 3: Locate and tap power (+12V) and ground
The DriveRight requires a constant +12 volts and has a negligi-
ble drain on the vehicle battery (8 ma). You can obtain the
+12V from several different places. Generally, you can easily
obtain +12V from the fuse box using a fuse tap connector (not
supplied) or using the supplied in-line splice connectors to tap
into a KNOWN circuit that does not involve safety related
equipment (headlights, tail lights, air bag, etc.). Possible candi-
date wires include those from the cigarette lighter, dome light,
glove compartment light, clock, tail gate light, or other conve-
nience functions.
After locating +12V, connect it to the red +12V wire (the one
with the fuse holder) using the in-line splice as shown below.
Do not install the fuse into the fuse holder until instructed to
do so in step 4.
If you are getting +12V from your fuse box, use a fuse tap con-
nector appropriate for your vehicle.
