(How do you connect a Battery Isolator??)

[swollen_cu 10+ year member]

I have a stinger battery isolator. Everything is pretty much straight forward except I don't where to connect the "true ignition source". Can it be connected to the RED cc wire radio harness? Thanks in advance...

depends on how you want to control the relay. the ignition wire will connect the battery when the car is on. yes, the red ACC wire on the head unit is an ignition source. note if you have a >2000 GM Vehicle, you can't use the Class II Data Bus wire as ignition.

There should be other ignition sources in the engine bay.

I never post it in the wiring electrical section. I did it in the general discussion,but needed a little more help.

Great! Is it okay if I use the same wire coming from the ignition source on the isolator to power my amplifiers also. Itll be conveinient because my isolator will be in the trunk near my ampifiers and auxilary battery...
