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 digital
multi-meter to find your power and ignition wires.
Place the black lead of the meter to a clean metal surface in the
kick panel area and secure it. Put the meter in the DC voltage
position, then take the red lead of the meter and probe one of the
thicker gauge wires. The color and identity of your specific
vehicle wiring can be obtained at www.diyhornet.com. With the
key in the OFF position, test the suspect wire. The constant
power wire will read between 11.00 volts and 13.00 volts regard-
less if the key is on or off.
