• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

2020 RT Customer Accessory Circuit

left side. Remove access panel and look for a ev1` plug zip tied to a grouping. the top part is a cover only. If you have a male ev1 wired you can hook to the bottom piece. Other option is to cut off the bottom ev1 part and wire direct. i am attaching my gps here easier than left side.
 
Nice work upsdoctor. I'm also ex Navy (CT) and should have installed a Blue Sea fuse block too! :)
 
I found the right side connector for the gps harness, but the polarity was reversed. The left side forward connection had the polarity correct, but was tucked up behind and to the left of the battery.
 
To add pics to TIMMB's post about the connector behind the left panel on the 2020 RT. The EV1 connector is commonly used on fuel injectors, I believe. Ran out of time to check which fuse controls this and whether it can be made hot all the time. Will follow up on that.20200509_124216.jpg20200509_124311.jpg
 
Good Morning

I used the easter beaver accessory block, it has switched and in switched, i installed it. It works great.

You meant easier than the right side?
Have you verified the 2 wires are battery and ground?
 
Yes. Only used orange wire on ev1 and black to nearby gound. Gives 5v output to top gps pln and 0v to bottom pin. Gps will start with engine and power loss message at engine shut down. I choice this method because of one easy panel removal, medical reasons limit work abilities for a while.
 
I used the accessory circuit on the left side and it worked great. The odd looking cap came off by pressing the wire spring that held it and it pulled straight off. As others have indicated, one circuit on the EV1 is 5V DC and the other is 12V DC.

I ordered some EV1 connectors from Amazon (6 or 8 sets of male/female connected with a short pigtail), cut off the female end, and wired to the GPS red wire. As neither of those was ground, I ran it to the nearby brass screw shown in the picture.
