controls. Connecting cables must be routed and secured in such a manner
as not to interfere with the operation of the brake, accelerator or other
controls. Interference from either the unit or connecting cables may
contribute to the loss of control of the vehicle.

Step 1: If you have not determined whether your vehicle has a negative or
positive ground, do so now. Then disconnect the negative lead from the
