cable ground cable was attached and routed to the front side of the panel and
attached to the LOAD side of the SHUNT. The BATTERY cables (both
passenger and driver side banks) were attached to a second isolated ground
stud. This BATTERY ground isolated terminal has connected studs on both
front and rear sides. A new cable was secured to the front side of that stud,
the opposite cable end was routed over to the BATTERY side of the shunt.
The loom coiled in the bottom of the compartment contains most of the five
feet of twisted orange and blue 18 gauge wires connected between the
monitor and the shunt. The length of this cable needs to be left as is, because
the length of these two wires is part of the design. Two additional wires were
added, one (red) wire to provide 12VDC + power for the monitor a 2 amp
fuse was also installed. The second is a (black) ground wire, as there is no
measurable load on this wire it was attached to the front side of the panel on
the isolated BATTERY side stud.
The monitor is located on the forward wall of the first driver's side basement
compartment (on the opposite side of the wall where the Shunt is mounted),
this is necessary to remove it from possible damage by battery fumes and to
also locate the monitor in a dry environment.
