Hey all, as you can see I am new, and I saw this site from ModularFords.com.. looks good :cool:
But anyway, I have a couple questions.. I am a little confused here
On NX Install it says:
"Using 18-ga. Blue wire and connectors supplied in the switch kit, connect a HOT lead (12 VDC POSITIVE) to the “Power” terminal of the toggle switch. (Use 5 amp in line fuse if desired). This power source must be controlled by the ignition switch (See wiring Schematic).
3. Connect a grounded wire to the “Ground” terminal
of the toggle.
4. The system is furnished with a universal wide-open throttle switch. This WOT micro-switch is designed to work with the universal mounting bracket. It’s maximum capacity is 10 AMPS and should only be used to activate low amp draw accessories or in conjunction with a relay.
A. Assemble the micro-switch on the mounting bracket using the supplied 3⁄4” 4-40 bolts and nuts. The switch can be mounted in several different configurations, select the position you require and tighten the bolts. Do not over-tighten; the plastic micro switch can be damaged.
B. The mounting bracket is made of easily bendable
material and may be formed to any configuration
that will allow it to place the WOT switch in the proper location.
C. The activation arm on the micro-switch is extra
long. This allows you to twist, bend, or cut it to aid in the ease of installation 5. Attach an 18-ga. jumper wire from the remaining terminal
“ACC” of the toggle switch to one of the terminals on the wide open throttle switch"
I am confused on the bold parts, but let me start off and say I have a NFS Quad Switch panel, but each switch only has 2 ...connectors... to hook wires too.
What is a hot lead (12VDC Positive) Is that just hooked up the blue wire to the battery's positive terminal? Another question is that: doesn't that lead hook to the switch? If so, I still have to ground the switch and then hook up the wire from the WOT Switch to the Arming switch.. but I am out of connectors on the switch.. could I use the WOT Wire and the BLue 12VDC Pos. wire on a same connector making sure they do not touch? And then just have one for a ground???? Please help with that
Then... for the WOT Switch its a max of 10 AMPS, am I supposed to hook it up to a 10 Amp source?? If I am then what the hell do I do
And lastly it says to hook a jumper wire (WTF is that) from the terminal ACC (dont have that on my own panel..) so what is a jumper wire and what do i do with the ACC..
Please help.. i feel like an idiot and getting really aggrivated
