DriveRight requires an unswitched +12 VDC power source.
I‚‡r) The wire used for power and ground connections should be 22-18AWG or have the
same diameter as the red +12V wire with fuseholder.
Locate an unswitched +12 VDC power source:
❏ Make a direct connection in the fusebox (recommended) - either using
an extra accessory slot in the fuse box or using a fuse tap connector (not
supplied).
❏ Or, use the supplied in-line splice connectors to tap into a known circuit
that does not involve safety related equipment such as headlights, tail
lights, air bag, etc. Possible candidate wires include those from the
cigarette lighter, dome light, glove compartment light, clock, tail gate
light, or other convenience functions.
! Tap a red wire from the fuse holder to the unswitched +12 VDC source you
located in Step 1. Use the in-line splice provided with your DriveRight or use
a fuse tap connector (not included) appropriate for your vehicle.
& $87,21 Do not install the fuse into the fuse holder until instructed to do so.
" Locate or make a vehicle chassis ground connection for the harness cable.
You can make one by inserting a spade terminal under the head of a screw
threaded into the vehicle chassis. Be sure to test the connection with a
multimeter before connecting the ground wire.
# Butt splice the black ground wire from the harness cable to the black ground
wire included with your DriveRight.
$ Crimp a spade
terminal, included
with the unit, to the
other end of the
black wire. Refer
