PDM60 Installation

[jmurray]

I installed TRICLED LED Headlghts for the Spyder RT (which by the way was very straight forward) but during the process I decided to install the PDM60 that I had laying around. I installed the PDM60 under the left service panel (it was a flat area in that spot) using zip ties. The red positive cable length was perfect in this location I was able to connect directly to the batter positive post. I had to add roughly a foot to the black negative cable using the Post-Lock connector and connect it to the battery ground post.

I would like to connect the Ignition Trigger cable (grey wire) to the headlight (positive voltage when engine starts). These are the two connectors that were connected to the headlight.

For the five pin connect, Pin-1: Grey with Orange stripe wire, Pin-2: Brown wire, Pin-3: Grey wire, Pin-4: Black wire, and Pin-5: Brown with White stripe.

The two pin connector has Pin-1: Orange wire and Pin-2: Black wire.


Which wire should I connect the trigger cable too?

Grey with beige stripe is power to the bulb. Are you sure you want to connect to it though? If you do you will trigger the PDM only when the engine is running. I think you'd be better to look over toward the outside and find the 2 wire harness and connector that goes to the frunk light. That is hot whenever the key is on. The one you want to tie into there is orange with red stripe.

I just looked again after rereading you question. On the two pin connector to the headlight the orange is key power. That would be just as good, or probably better, to connect to than the one going to the frunk light.

Thank you very much!
