The charger is fused, so I zip tied it here for access.
Run the wire from the fuse to the appropriate connector on your car.
Hooking up the charger. The post (blue arrow) unscrews using 10mm wrench. Hook up positive (red arrow) under this post and reinstall. Finally, hook up the negative (black arrow) on this post and reinstall the nut.

That's it. Took me about an hour for the install. I purchased the Charger HERE. The JCase fuse holder was a PITA to find. Waytek carries them for $5.81 but charges $15 S/H. I purchased mine HERE for $9.17 but only $3 S/H. Any questions, feel free to ask.....Dennis
