Option terminals c910-c913...HELP!

[10Blade]

I've got the big book. I've seen the diagrams. I've read everything I can find about these...but I can't get any power out of any of them at any time. It's making me (and my wife) crazy. She wants me to ask a neighbor...don't really like him, don't want him digging around in my car, and hate the idea that he may figure it out before me.

So I appeal to you all. I'm stuck. Any suggestions?

Thanks

what are you talking about??

On the drivers side footwell there's a fuse box (above the "eternal sportsmind for you" business) and at the top of that box are 4 terminals for accessories. Sounds great...I just don't seem to be getting any power to any of them...can't figure out why.

They are all powered independently

From rear to front

C910 - live when parking light switch on
C911 - live when ignition on
C912 - Constant Battery power - but ..... requires fuse in engine fuse-box to enable
C913 - live when ACC switch position on ignition

Pick the one you want for your device to be energized under the given condition (Constant, Acc, Ign or Lights)

YEAH BABY!

I monkey'd and futzed and jimmied and it's done.

The problem was in grounding the connection. There are some conviently placed screws...didn't work. Then there's a 10mm bolt just south of the fuse box...didn't work AT FIRST. I cranked on the bolt (mostly out of frustration...you should see what I do in the O.R.) and voila...POWER to the valentine! It made that deep chortly braap noise and I smiled.

Thanks D'ecosse. Hopefully if someone has trouble in the future he can reference this thread.
