Wiring Diagram
The wires coming out form the key
switch usually consist of:
12 v - 12 volt constant power
ON - Ignition power
ACC- Accessory power
ST - Starter signal
Other than these four wires, the
vehicle may have two ON wires.
Wiring Procedure:
(1) Cut the Power harness close to the 3-pin connector
(2) Use a volt meter or test light to find the appropriate wires. Connect
 the Red wire to the 12v, the Green to to ON, and the Blue to ACC
 using solder.
(3) Cover all connections carefully with electrical tape.
