Perfect Pass Install - Any Experts?

I used the instructions provided by PP. They were very good an included photos, if I recall correctly. Also, the folks at PP are very friendly and provide great customer service. If you have any questions along the way I'd call or send an email.

It needs a good power source.

Joel's method is certainly an option for someone who doesn't upgrade the wiring up to the dash. If you are having gauge problems due to the undersized wiring, the heavier wire upgrade is still recommended solving both issues.

Kevin,
Do understand the relay won't fix your low voltage at the dash problem. In fact, it is actually adding more load at the dash. Probably not enough to affect but the relay coil is still a load at about 150 to 200 ma.

Kevin,
Long term I'd get heavier wire up to the dash for the needed power. It wouldn't involve a complete rewire of the dash. Many have run both the heavier + and - up to terminal blocks at the dash and then tapped off them to the individual circuits. Joel's method works but it's a "crutch" on the verge of a back yard hack job! An analogy would be tapping directly into the power line outside your house because you electric service isn't big enough to handle the load in the house. Since you have mentioned you do already have the symptoms of low voltage at the dash, I'd think about the heavier wire.

I don't think I've ever seen the current draw of a PP. Does anyone know?
