To use the LED test probe:

1. Remove the protective cover off the probe tip. Save the

protective cover for reinstallation on the probe tip when

the LED tester is not being used.

2. Connect the Black clip to a good chassis ground.

3. Connect the Red clip to a good +12V source. Both the

Red and Green LEDs should be illuminated dimly.

4. If a positive voltage source is probed, the Red LED will

illuminate brightly, and the Green LED will extinguish.

5. If a negative source is probed the Green LED will illu-

minate brightly and the Red LED will extinguish.

Alternate procedure to use the LED test probe (only for use on

probing positive voltage wires):

1. Remove the protective cover off the probe tip. Save the

protective cover for reinstallation on the probe tip when

the LED tester is not being used.

2. Connect the Black clip to a good chassis ground.

3. If a positive voltage source is probed, the Red LED will

step 1

Ground Wire

The BLACK (H1/5) wire on the main 8-pin harness is ground.

First strip back a ¾-inch section of the insulation off the BLACK

wire and crimp a ring terminal (not provided) to that wire.

Locate a clean, paint-free metal surface in the drivers kick panel.

Using a self-tapping screw, drill the screw with the ring terminal

to the metal area. Once screwed down, pull on the wire to ensure

a good connection.

note: More problems are attributed to poor ground connections than any other cause. Take extra care to ensure the ground is a clean metal-to-metal contact and secure.

Constant Power and Ignition wires

Almost all power and ignition wires can be found behind the key

cylinder under the lower drivers side dash panel. Using the

appropriate hand tools, remove the lower dash panel using care

not to break any parts. If the panel does not come off easily

check for any additional screws you may have missed.

Once the lower dash panel has been removed, locate the ignition

harness at the back of the key cylinder. This is usually a group of

thicker wires. With the ignition harness exposed, use your LED

tester to find your power and ignition wires.

Place the black lead of the test probe to a clean metal surface in

the kick panel area and secure it. Probe one of the thicker gauge

wires. The color and identity of your specific vehicle wiring can

be obtained at www.designtech-intl.com. With the key in the off

position, test the suspect wire. The constant power wire will illu-

minate the Red LED on the test probe.

Once the constant power wire has been identified, solder the two

heavy gauge RED wires from the control module (relay heavy

gauge) to it and wrap the connection with electrical tape.

With the test probe black lead still in the kick panel, locate the

ignition wire in the same location. It will test differently than

note: If the vehicle has two constant power wires, utilize both constant power wires. Connect one of the heavy gauge RED wires to one of the constant power wires and the other heavy gauge RED wire to the other constant power wire.

warning! Before making any connection to constant battery power make sure that the two green 30 amp fuses are removed from the fuse holders on the two thick red wires (heavy gauge wires). Failure to do so may cause fire or shorting of sensitive electrical components.

www.designtech-intl.com Web site and place the red lead of the

test probe on the suspected wire. With the key in the off position

the probes LED will be off. Turn the key to the on position and

the LED tester will illuminate Red. Now watching your probe,

turn the key to the crank position. If the LED extinguishes this

is not an ignition wire but an accessory wire. If the wire tests

correctly, solder the thick PINK (4) wire of the heavy gauge wires

to it and wrap the connection with electrical tape.

If the vehicle requires more than one ignition as per the Web site

information follow the same test procedure and solder the thick

PINK/WHITE (6) wire of the heavy gauge wires to it and wrap

the connection with electrical tape. If your vehicle has only 1

ignition source, secure the PINK/WHITE out of the way.

If your vehicle requires more than two ignitions, an additional

relay (not provided) is required. Refer to the diagram below.

step 3

Accessory and Starter wires

The starter and accessory wires will be located in the same harness

as the ignition and constant power.

To find the accessory wire leave the LED tester black lead

connected to the metal ground, take the red lead and probe the

wire suspected to be the accessory. With the key off, your test

probe’s LED should be off. Turn the key to the on position and

the LED tester should be illuminated Red. Now turn the key to

the crank position. If you have the correct accessory wire the LED

will extinguish while the starter is cranking and return once the

key returns to the on position. If the wire tests correctly, strip the
