making your connections
When connecting the security system’s wires to the vehicle wires it is important that the connections are tight
and no bare wire is exposed. In this section, two types of connections are described that may be used to connect
the wires from the security system to the vehicle’s wiring. Both types of connections are electrically acceptable
if made correctly. Other types of "tap-in" connections, such as T-Taps are not acceptable.
1. Cut the wire and strip back about
1
/4
-inch of insulation on each end of the wire.
2. Twist one end of the vehicle’s wire with the security module’s wire.
3. Insert the twisted pair of wires into one end of the butt connector and crimp securely.
4. Insert the other end of the vehicle’s wire into the other end of the butt connector and crimp securely.
