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
illuminate brightly.
note: Do not use this test probe on computerized equip-
ment or on the tachometer wiring as damage can result.

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.

step 2
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

plemental restraint systems (SRS) you may
notice a bright yellow tube with small wires
in it marked SRS underneath the steering
column near the key cylinder. DO NOT
tamper or unplug these for any reason to
prevent costly damages to your vehicle or
personal injury. Tampering may cause
unintended deployment of airbags.

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

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.

constant (+)12 volts. Locate the suspected wire using the
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.
