Connect all devices to the connectors of the junction box, using your desired extension cables. Flashing floodlights should be connected
to the

The lights will AutoDim automatically, but if you require further dimming or dimming during the daytime, apply positive to the Manual Dim
wire (White) of the front minibar.
Spare Lead Connections (Summer Month Connections)

The other spare wire lead included with 16363 is for summer month operation of the minibar once it is disconnected from the Main
Junction Box.

This spare lead can be wired into the vehicle and stowed away for the winter months if desired.
