a.
Methods to connect radio power on General Motors vehicles is dependent on the vehicle model (See Figure 1 - One Piece Transceiver
Installation or Figure 2 - Trunk Mount Transceiver Installation as needed).
Do not connect the negative power lead to any under-dash termination point.
One of the following four methods is suggested:
1.
Connect the positive and negative power leads directly to the battery terminals.
GM approved methods of connecting auxiliary wiring include the adapter package illustrated in Figure 4 - Power Cable Battery Connections.
Important:
It is recommended that a fuse be placed in the transceiver negative power lead.
This is to prevent possible transceiver damage in the event the battery to engine block ground lead is inadvertently disconnected.
2.
Connect the positive lead to the auxiliary power terminal (usually identified by a red plastic cover in the underhood area).
Connect the negative lead directly to the negative battery terminal.
Important:
See above important statement regarding fusing the negative power lead.
3.
Connect the positive lead to the auxiliary power terminal (usually identified by a red plastic cover in the underhood area).
Connect the negative lead to the battery body connection point (usually identified by a short # 10 AWG or larger wire running from the negative
battery terminal to the body of the vehicle).
Important:
See above important statement regarding fusing the negative power lead.
4.
Connect the positive and negative leads to the Special Equipment Option (SEO) wiring provided for this purpose (if vehicle has this option).
