Escort Cabriolet Club Posted May 19, 2007 Share Posted May 19, 2007 Below is just a basic wiring diagram on how I wired up mine !!! Fig 1 - Your Basic power cap ! Fig 2 - How to DIS-CHARGE your power cap, they hold quite a jolt so get a 12v car bulb and connect it to the cap, if its not lit its fine, if it lights, wait for it to die out ! Fig 3 - This is how your basic power cap is wired, take the Negative and the Possitive striaght through there respective teminals ! Fig 4 - My power cap came with a terminal block to add on to the power nodes, here is how I wired it ! What ever you do, DON'T take the battery positive to the cap and then the negative to the Amp and then amp to earth, it will damage the battery amp and cap !!! Hope this helps mate, if your stuck send me a PM and i'll send you pics of mine wired up !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
