[QUOTE="hispls, post: 8855445, member: 614752"] Standard color will be blue and it will be a very small single wire most likely connecting to your amp nearest the power and ground cables. If you remove this be sure to tape up the bare wire because shorting to ground may damage your head unit. I'd say your best bet is to disconnect the cable from the +12V terminal at the secondary battery and also up front where it connects to your primary battery. If you don't know whether or not there's a problem in the +12 side you probably don't want any of that power cable to have voltage on. Make sure neither shorts to ground if the other is connected, safest way is to disconnect ground terminals from both batteries before you begin. [/QUOTE]
