Mounting The Decoder Box
The decoder box must be mounted in a dry place. When mounting this
unit, keep it within the reach of the wires on the LED display and the
sensor. The decoder box can be mounted with two screws or double-
sided tape. Be sure it is still accessible to connect the wiring and for
programming.

Wiring The Sensor and The Decoder Box
The sensor has a 10 foot long gray cable attached to it. This cable
contains 3 wires which connect to the decoder box. To connect the wires
to the decoder box, push down on the tab to insert the wire into the
terminal on the decoder box.

Fig. 14 Connect the red wire to the terminal

marked RED. Connect the green wire to the terminal marked GREEN.
Connect the black wire to the terminal marked BLACK.

Connect a fused, 12V + power source to the "POWER" terminal on the
decoder box. This should be a switched wire that supplies power when
the ignition key is in the "ON" or "RUN" position, but does not supply
power when the key is off.

(NOTE: If you are going to use the optional

Neutral Safety Relay discussed below, this wire will also need to supply
power while the key is in the "START" position.)

Connect the red wire from the Lokar LED Boot Indicator or Dash
Indicator to the same "POWER" terminal on the decoder box.

Connect a solid chassis ground to the "GROUND" terminal on the
decoder box.

OPTIONAL: Connecting The Neutral Safety Relay
If your vehicle already has a neutral safety switch in the wiring harness to
prevent the vehicle from starting while it is in gear, then you do not need
to use the neutral safety switch feature in the decoder box, and you will
not need to connect this relay.

If your vehicle does not already have a neutral safety switch, cut the wire
that goes from your starter switch to the starter solenoid. Connect the
wire coming from the ignition switch to the GREEN wire from the relay,
and connect the BLACK wire from the relay to the wire going to the
starter solenoid. For wiring harnesses which provide wires for the neutral
safety relay, connect one side to the GREEN wire and the other side to
the BLACK wire.

The WHITE wire from the relay connects to the SAFETY terminal on the
decoder box. The RED wire connects to the power wire for the decoder
box. For the neutral safety switch to operate properly, the POWER
terminal on the decoder box must have power when the key is in both
the "ON" (or "RUN") and "START" positions.

OPTIONAL: Connecting The Park/Neutral Signal To An ECM
If your vehicle is fuel injected and the ECM requires a signal when the
transmission is in either Park or Neutral, the neutral safety terminal on
the decoder box can be used. The SAFETY terminal provides a ground
when the transmission is in Park or Neutral. This can be connected to
the ECM in order to pass vehicle inspection. The SAFETY terminal can
be used for both a neutral safety and an ECM signal at the same time.

OPTIONAL: Connecting Backup Lights To The Decoder Box
If your vehicle already has a backup light switch, then you do not need to
connect anything to the BACKUP terminal. If you do not have a backup
light switch and will be using backup lights on your vehicle, then connect
the hot side of the backup lights to the terminal marked BACKUP. This
circuit is designed to supply up to 15 amps.
