hey thanks jim for the suggestion...thats what it thought too but i ended up figurin it out, it gets its voltage from the wire that runs to the alternator and then has to tap into to other wires...i was a dumbass and neglected to look at the huge wiring diagram i have in my basement...thanks for the help
