MSD DIS 4 question

[White95]

What 12 volt source should I wire my DIS 4 to? It says write it to the radio interface capacitor, but do we even have that??? Thanks for the help!

[Ian]

mine is wired to my battery, right to the power side.

[White95]

so you have two connections to a 12volt source?

[Ian]

no, just the one wire. the other is a ground

[White95]

ya i figured that out to late. besides hooking up the the wires off the box i also hooked up the red wires in the harness, since they had connections on them, to the battery as well. the end result was i couldn't turn off the engine, took out the key and everything engine still ran. I tried pulling a spark plug wire, disconnecting the battery, and ended up having to cut the power wire to the DIS 4 box to get the engine to turn off. So note to people installing their own DIS 4 ignore the conectors on the red wires, and DO NOT wire them to battery.

[White95]
