I'm going to have several electrical questions. 1st, Is pin #8, on the 14 pin plug at the relay board, the only switched 12v+ source in the engine compartment? TIA, Kent

I checked all of the schematics I can find and all have the black wires at pin #8 as switched hot from the key switch. To be safe, put a meter on it and verify that it is hot when switched on at the key switch. Battery isn't necessary to check that it would be hot. Just use one meter lead on the 4 red wires, the other on pin #8. With the key to on, you should have continuity. Key to off, open. What year car?

Tom It's my '73 Tom, which was a 1.7 originally with your fused adapter in place. My plan is to use this wire to activate a new power relay. Glad you and Mike are here to oversee this part. |
