    Sean, are you talking the wire that goes to the ignition switch???? If so, I would say the extra jumper could be for an accessory that you would want to have powered with the ignition switch in the off position.... If you do use the jumper, make sure you install an inline fuse in the wire for the accessory you wire into it... Personally, I don't like anything except the lights that isn't "powered up" by the ignition switch.

    That's probably what it is, I just capped it off for now cause the headlights already have a power wire to the switch.

    Thanks,

    Sean that's the Harmon Kardon wire! I believe it powers the rediculously expensive subwoofer, make you go deaf and everyone in a mile of you, stereo system!

    That'll come later!

    I ran into another confusing step that deals with my fan. I have an aftermarket Spal fan that comes with all it's own wiring, it's pretty straight forward and has good directions. The problem is with the wiring kit, it has one wire that goes to the engine labeled "fan", under the dash is one "fan power" and another "fan fan". I would think the fan power goes to the kit on the ignition wire but I'm not sure, what do the other two do? I assume the one out to the engine is the power to the fan but I won't need that one as the kit has a heavier gauge power wire.

    I could just cut all the fan wires out but I didn't want to start stacking a whole bunch of wires on the ignition switch.

    I always run into these problems after EZ Wire is closed.


    Thanks,

    Sean
