New member....dual battery question!
Okay, looks like the activation comes from a fuse jump, hot on acc or run (comic book window on schematic). I have mine on hot acc running from the ECM adjacent to the TBI (probed this to be hot-acc-key on using my multimeter). One thing I'll check with the new solenoid is whether it cuts off...- Matt Buffington
