UNIVERSAL 21 CIRCUIT WIRING HARNESS
WARNING!
THIS PRODUCT REQUIRES DETAILED KNOWLEDGE OF AUTOMOTIVE SYSTEMS. WE RECOMMEND THAT THIS INSTALLATION BE
CARRIED OUT BY A QUALIFIED AUTOMOTIVE ELECTRICAN.

INTRODUCTION

Congratulations on your purchase of Aeroflow Performance universal 21 circuit wiring harness. Aeroflow Performance products
cannot and will not be responsible for any damage, or other conditions resulting from misapplication of the parts described
herein. However, it is our intention to provide the best possible products for our customer, products that perform properly and
satisfy your expectations. Should you have any questions? Please call technical support at +61 2 8825 1900 and have the product
part number on hand when calling.

The Aeroflow Performance universal 21 circuit wiring harness is designed for use in most cars or trucks that have the engine mounted in the
front of the vehicle and can mount the fuse block under the dash. Since this harness can be installed in many different types of vehicles, the
installation may require some modifications to suit the options and features of your vehicle. When using aftermarket accessories and
equipment, use the wiring diagrams provided with those products (instead of this manual). The wiring included in this wiring harness is
coloured and labelled for easy identification of each wire.

Please read completely through these instructions before starting this installation. Before attempting installation please note the following:

• Disconnect both battery cables before starting this installation.


• Install main ground cables that go between the chassis and engine and between the engine and body. Ground all accessories.
Ground wires are not included with this kit.
• All Ground connections must be made free of dirt, rust, or paint (metal to metal connection)
• Route wiring away from sharp edges, heat, and any moving parts like fan belts, steering gear, driveshaft’s, bonnet hinges/latches and
the exhaust system.
• Use a grommet whenever wiring is passed through a sheet metal or fiberglass panel to prevent wiring rubbing though and causing a
short.
• Fasten the wiring down with p-clamps and/or cable ties.
• We recommend to upgrade the starter and alternator wiring if using high output components.

Prepare the Wiring Harness

Spread out the harness on a large work area to help with the organization of so many wires. Start with the fuse block and organize the wires
that are attached to it into the 4 sections Review the wiring worksheet and wiring diagram to assist with this process. Use cable ties to
organize the wiring into these 4 groups. Ensure to write down on a work sheet where each wire will be going to and which wires are to be
removed.

Mounting the Fuse Box

The fuse block should be mounted under the dash on the driver’s side of the vehicle. The fuse block must be securely mounted on a flat
surface. The fuse block must be mounted away from any moving components (i.e. pedals & steering shaft). Find a suitable location that is
accessible for inspection and replacement of fuses. Mount the fuse block using bolts or screws using both holes at the outer edge of the feet
on the fuse block.

Note where the wires exit the fuse block and find a suitable location where these wires can go through the firewall and into the engine
compartment. Find a location where the wiring won’t interfere with other components and will be away from heat or moving components that
may damage the wire.

Connection Kits

Use the supplied harness plugs and the appropriate wiring diagram for your switch to determine which wires will go were. GM used multiple
style switches with different wiring pin outs; please verify which style you need. Our cavity diagram is a generic one that is common for most
GM vehicles. Once the wires are installed in their appropriate cavity, the white plug will be plugged into the switch first using the black
connector to secure it in place. Even if there are no wires in the black pigtail plug in the connector to retain the white one.

Final Installation

Go through the wiring worksheet and connect any accessories that have not already been connected. Check off each connection on the
worksheet as it is completed. Check all wires and make sure they are connected to the appropriate accessory. Use cable ties to group the wires
together and at points where the wires branch off from the harness. It is also suggested that Convoluted Tubing is used to protect the wiring.
At this point there should not be any loose or unused wires left. If there are any unused circuits wrap them up and protect them in a manner
that won’t allow them to create a short.

Testing

At this point you should have all the wires connected. All that remains is a simple start up procedure. Start by turning off all accessories. Place
the ignition switch in the off position and close all doors on the vehicle. Now connect the Positive battery cable. Before connecting the
Negative cable, check for current draw. This is done with a test light connecting between the negative battery post and the negative battery
cable. No Light = No Draw. If you have no draw or just a really dim light, it is safe to connect the Negative battery cable, and start checking the
system. If there is a draw there must be a short to ground and this issue must be corrected before you proceed to test the system
