You flatter me sir---and since I like it I say thanks a heap.
Like so many other extensive or possibly involved wiring modifications I tend to ruminate for a very long time before cutting any wires. My ideas on the Ravelco DIY install is similar---I'm pooring over my EVTM's and looking for the circuits I want to diable, those that would be most easily accessed.
"we would like to offer you a one-time exclusive price of $549.95 and we will pay the sales tax"

Just thought I'd throw this out there.

I've seen that same ad on their website---perhaps its arrogance or just being dumb but I'm NOT impressed with Ravelco the company, their product on the other hand quite spectacular. It was a stunning relation learning they do NOT have any sort of representation anywhere within 200 miles of me. I'm not crying, just stunned the entire state has no one.
Their prices aren't that good IMHO but its their product so not really open to bargaining.
Still they offer no factory-supported or assisted training leaving the quality of installation up to whoever steps up and buys one of their "dealer packages". With a car alarm/stereo shop on every other corner it still baffles me no one has offered Ravelo.

Of course there are zero instructions with the device but I imagine ohming out the caps will give us the "key". ...then it's just work from there.
..pretty sure the starter relay is fuse 33....

I'm glad you snapped on of these up----I now have three bought at the right price so am protected into 2321 I think!
Correct on the starter relay fuse being #33 or its later CJB designtion F2.33---same fuse, same location, different number is all.
Looking at the Ravelco you'll find two of the longer wires with white tape around each one---those are a pair, the other two remaining are also a pair. Place the "key" and you'll see continuity for the pairs. Like yourself I'm guessing the shorter wire is a ground, for what I'm lost. Its all fricking plastic!
If I forgot to mention I'll "protect the fuel pump AND starter relay---I have two protection circuits so they'll be get used.

Not a thing wrong with that---if I could find someone I trusted to do the physical part of all this I have it aready mapped out. I'm so very particular how my wiring connections are made I'd NOT want to work for me.
Thanks again guys---still looking for advice how to unfasten that CJB so I can proceed.
