    Help last wire

    Okay this wire needs to be bolted to a power that is not constent. If bolted to the lil power block on the fire wall. The car will not turn off, so what should I do?!?!? Did I hook up a wire wrong?

        Yeah, that is a power wire. The wire that is closest to the diagnostic connector is a ground, the one that comes out of the harness a few inches away is a power wire.

              We already know its a power wire.

              Hook it to an ignition-switched power source.
