Step 4: Hardwiring To Power

The Drive Reach Fleet kit includes a CLA and Hardwire
power option. The CLA power can be connected to a vehicle
cigarette lighter port. Hardwire instructions are below. Use
the steps below as a general template for wiring the power.
There are multiple options for wiring and steps will vary
depending on the vehicle type.
■ Locate the vehicle fuse box. The fuse box location will vary by
vehicle, refer to the vehicle's owner's manual.
■ Route the power cable from the booster to the fuse box. If the fuse
box is located under hood of the vehicle the cable will need to be ran
through the firewall. Most vehicles will have a designated spot to run
cable from the cabin to the engine bay.
■ Determine which fuse to hardwire the power to. Find an open fuse
slot that is ignition-switched, if there are no open fuse slots tied to
the vehicle ignition power can be attached to an existing fuse. Wiring
to an ignition-switched fuse will ensure the booster is not drawing
power when the vehicle is off. Refer to the vehicle owner's manual for
information about the fuses.
Note: You can use a circuit tester to test if the fuse is constant or
ignition-switched. A constant fuse will stay on when the vehicle is off,
and an ignition-switched fuse will have power when the vehicle is on
but no power when it is off.
■ Connecting the power supply. Once you have determined a fuse slot
to use connect the positive lead on the power cable to the included
in-line fuse then attach to a fuse tap and crimp into place (fuse tap is
not included in the kit and will vary by vehicle type). Connect the fuse
tap to the fuse slot you have chosen.
Note: You will need to determine which type of fuse tap is needed to
complete the power wiring. Variations include ATO, Mini, Low Profile
and Micro2. Consult the vehicle owner's manual to determine which
fuse is needed for your installation.
■ Grounding the power supply. Most vehicle will have a factory
grounding point. Slip the negative lead "black" on the power supply
under the metal bolt on the grounding point and tighten into place.
