Installation: 1. Lay out the wiring in the engine bay, making sure the Deutsch plug can reach the location of your light bar, the terminals can reach the battery and the switch can penetrate through the firewall. 2. Take the in-line fuse out of the wiring harness. 3. Connect the negative(-) wire to the negative terminal of the battery.

When to use hot wire or neutral bar?
Consequently the black ‘hot’ wire is the one chosen to stop both current flow and the presence of voltage in the circuit. It is important to note that a neutral bar does still carry current even if the voltage at the location of the neutral bar is essentially zero with respect to ground.
