Where Is Middle Post On Battery Isolation Solenoid Attached When Installing

Question:

I just ordered this part from you yesterday and Im very excited to install it once it arrives. But my concern is wheres the ignition wire of my vehicle that Im going to connect for the center terminal where 12 V label says? My vehicle is 2012 Ford Expedition. Do you have a picture where it shows the vehicles ignition wire to connect it?

When installing the Battery Isolation Solenoid, part # PK5231201, and attaching the middle post, you need a wire that only has power when the ignition is on. Things like antenna motors for powered antenna could work.

On the fuse box of your vehicle, it should state what items are on with the ignition. You could use a fuse tap, which is a fuse you can attach a wire to, to provide the 12 volts needed. Take a look at # F2526.

I recommend using 10 gauge wire, like part # 10-1-1 or part # 10-2-1, when installing the solenoid.

We do not have a photo of the solenoid installed on a vehicle.
