Paulford8 Posted September 2, 2012 Report Share Posted September 2, 2012 This maybe the first of a few... So the kit came with this power relay. I have not idea what it is for or what I am suppose to wire it into. Do I even need it? I have an add-a-fuse on #46, and a ground for the control. I think that plus a wire from my MAP and wires for the pump and indicator light is all I need to finish. Please let me know if I need to do something with this.

Scrming Posted September 2, 2012 Report Share Posted September 2, 2012 Well, i know we used it! Can't find my copy of the installation guide... it's buried somewhere around here... Maybe Chris can chime in... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulford8 Posted September 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2012 I just read through it again and looked at the wiring diagram. I do not see this wired in... Maybe over looking it. Remember what you hooked it up to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrming Posted September 2, 2012 Report Share Posted September 2, 2012 I just read through it again and looked at the wiring diagram. I do not see this wired in... Maybe over looking it. Remember what you hooked it up to? I want to say it's the main power relay... That's the part of the install where I had to leave the shop for a while (worked called...)

Paulford8 Posted September 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2012 Looks like your gray wire is running to the fuse box. I bet the gray is accessory, eyelet with fuse is 12V direct to battery, red is power to akly, and black is ground. Can anybody confirm? Did I mention I hate wiring?

Scrming Posted September 2, 2012 Report Share Posted September 2, 2012 Sounds about right... I have a small gray wire running into my fuse box... since my methanol kit is "track only" we actually connected it to the rear defroster fuse! So to turn on the methanol I hit the rear defog button... stays on for 10 minutes... LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crash712us Posted September 2, 2012 Report Share Posted September 2, 2012 Yes you need to use, tap into the fuse as BPD used in his install this fuse will be the signal wire for the power relay, the power relay will hook up directly to your battery. Sorry I can not be more help at this time. Call or email Julio at alkycontrol he is very helpful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulford8 Posted September 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2012 I talked to Julio Friday and he seemed very nice but did mention he would not answer the work phone until Tuesday, and he may not get to emails timely. That said I am confident that is correct. I wired as such and have everything laying on the floor ready to go through the fire wall for final hookup. I only have 1 drill bit long enough to get all of the way through, and it didnt get me a large enough hold for all wires. I will get a new bit in AM, wrap it all up, check for leaks, and hopefully be on my way! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crash712us Posted September 2, 2012 Report Share Posted September 2, 2012 Not sure on where your attempting to drill thru this where i drill thru. If you go any father left you will drill into the box frame and a long bit won't help. A step drill worked fine for me.[ATTACH]963[/ATTACH] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrming Posted September 2, 2012 Report Share Posted September 2, 2012 Not sure about the Taurus, but on the Flex they were able to find an existing hole to run the wires through the firewall... took a bit of searching and popping off some panels... it was over on the passenger side...

Paulford8 Posted September 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2012 That is about where I drilled crash... The bit I tried came into no mans land. I then used a 1/4 bit made for a bit holder. The bit holder got me the extra length to get through. Also I could have pulled that padding out of the way which probably would have made the difference. Anyway back at it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
