Advanced Electrical System Protection

Engineered for safety, this kit features an integrated diode that acts as a shield for your vehicle's sensitive electronics. The diode safeguards against hazardous voltage spikes and back-EMF feedback that naturally occurs when relays cycle on and off. Drive with total peace of mind knowing your vehicle's computer systems and connected accessories are fully protected.

Color-Coded & Stress-Free Installation

Take the guesswork out of complex automotive wiring. The 5-pin relay socket comes equipped with pre-labeled, color-coded wires for fast and foolproof identification during setup. The sturdy wiring harness adapter utilizes a centralized black head connector designed to cleanly manage the three most common automotive functions: power, illumination, and power antenna lines.

Versatile 12V Control Application

Boasting a robust 12V DC voltage rating and a high-capacity 40A amperage threshold, this relay kit handles demanding circuits with ease. It is the ultimate tool for hardwiring GPS tracking units, powering up auxiliary LED off-road lighting, wiring power antennas, managing 12V accessory circuits, or completing custom DIY automotive modifications.

Installation & Setup Guide

Safety First

Before starting, turn off your vehicle's engine and disconnect the negative (-) battery terminal to prevent accidental short circuits or electrical shocks.

Component Overview

• 5-Pin Relay & Socket: The main control switch that handles high-current power safely.
• Wiring Harness Adapter: The main wire bundle with a black connector head.
• On/Off Toggle Switch: The manual switch you will mount inside your dashboard.
• Integrated Diode: Pre-wired to protect your vehicle’s sensitive electronics from power spikes.

Step-by-Step Wiring Diagram

Follow the color-coded and labeled wires on your harness socket to make the connections:

1. Main Power Connections

• Red Wire: Connect directly to the Positive (+) battery terminal or a constant 12V power source (use an inline fuse for safety).
• Black Wire: Connect to a clean, unpainted metal part of the vehicle chassis for a solid Ground (-).

2. Trigger Switch Connections

• Blue Wire: Route this wire into the vehicle cabin and connect it to one side of the included On/Off Toggle Switch.
• Switch Power: Connect the other side of the Toggle Switch to an ignition-switched 12V source (so the accessory only works when the car is on).

3. Accessory Connections (Choose based on your setup)

• White Wire: Connect to your target accessory (e.g., Hardwired GPS Tracker, auxiliary lights, or power antenna).
• Yellow/Secondary Wire: (Optional) Connect to your vehicle's illumination circuit if your accessory requires a dimming or backlight trigger.

Final Setup & Testing

1. Mount the Relay: Securely mount the relay housing under the hood or dashboard using a screw or zip tie, ensuring it faces downward to prevent water buildup.
2. Reconnect Battery: Reconnect your vehicle's negative (-) battery terminal.
3. Test Operation: Flip the manual toggle switch to verify that your connected accessory turns on and off smoothly.
