    I would suggest investing in a service manual. It has wiring diagrams that would help here.

    Plus it’s been useful in many other questions I’ve had.

    For what it is worth; dont be makin' all kinds of connections at the battery. Thats the way teenagers hook up radios and such. Do it right.

    Better yet...
