Hey guys, in the simplified wiring post by kieth, he mentions that the small red and black wire for the ecu relay needs to be connected to a fused ign+ source.  When looking at the ECCS Wiring diagram on Impactblue, it shows that wire as being the ecu control ground for the ecu relay. Pin 16 i believe. What am I missing, any clarification for me? Bout to go wire it up and don't want to fry something.  Thanks guys. Tyler

Well yes the small black and red wire is the relay control ground.  I am however also having a weird problem where my ECCS relay won't shut down if I have 12v consent at the red wire, pin 48 or 58 I believe.  Any ides?

Been doing a SHIT tonne of reading on this swap.
Relays are essentualy just a electronic switch that is "on" when a current flows through it and "off" when the current isn't flowing through it.  The fused power is the current supply the red black wire connects to ground (creating a current) when it is told to...

Hopefully that made sense?
