6. Connect Power Wire: Route the power wire from the control module to the vehicle's battery. This may involve routing it through the vehicle's interior and firewall. Connect the fuse holder in-line near the battery, but do not insert the fuse until all connections are complete. Connect the power wire to the positive terminal of the battery.
