PAC-1100 RETAINED ACCESSORY POWER MODULE
Operation The retained accessory power module takes control of any accessory driven by its relay. When the key is turned on, the relay is closed providing power to the accessories. This is no different than stock "key on" operation. It is when the key is turned off that the operation differs from stock. The relay remains on for up to 20 minutes after the key is off, allowing the radio to keep playing or the power windows to be rolled up. The accessories can be shut off before the 20 minutes is up by simply opening any door (or just the driver's door. See below to set option). If, during the 20 minutes, the battery voltage drops too low, the accessories are shut off to help prevent the battery from going dead. Installation This module has the option to be wired into the vehicle so that the accessories will shut off when ANY door is opened or when ONLY the driver's door is opened. If a passenger door is opened with the device wired for driver's door only, the accessories will continue to run. The two wiring methods are listed below. Wiring for any door shut off (see any door trigger wiring diagram) Module wiring White To white wire on relay assembly Yellow To +12V with key on Black To ground Red +12V constant (fused) Brown To any door switch * Grey Not connected * *different for drivers door only wiring Relay wiring Green Red Blue Black White To +12V constant (fused) To +12V constant (fused) Not connected To accessories to be powered by module To white wire on module Wiring differences for DRIVER'S DOOR ONLY (see driver's door trigger wiring diagram) Module wiring Brown Grey To driver's door switch To Dome light (switch side) Remaining wiring is the same as for any door shut off above. Important notes In order for the driver's door only option to properly work, the vehicle wiring between the driver's door switch and the dome light must be cut. The wiring to the passenger switches should not be changed. When wiring for driver's door only, the only wire attached to the driver's door switch should be the brown wire from the retained accessory module. The red wire of the retained accessory module and the red and green wires of the relay must be have +12V (fed through a fuse) even when the key is off or the retained accessory unit will not work properly. Circuits powered by this module should only get power from the relay. Connecting an accessory to the relay, without first removing it from its original connection could cause the device to malfunction, and may prevent it from shutting off. Troubleshooting tips Problem Accessory only stays on for a short time after key is turned off ---------------------------Accessory doesn't come on after key is off Cause Poor ground on module Battery marginally low ------------------------------Shorted door switch Dome light switch on Battery is very low ------------------------------Ignition switch (yellow) wire broken, not connected Blown fuse on +12V constant circuit ------------------------------Door switch not connected to ground or wire broken Ignition (yellow) wire being fed by accessory relay ---------------------------Dome light will not turn on for driver's door (for driver's door off option) ---------------------------Accessories shut off when passenger door is opened. (for driver's door off option. ---------------------------------------------------------Grey wire not connected to dome light ------------------------------Wire between driver's door switch still connected to dome light circuit ------------------------------Solution Reconnect to better ground Check battery and charging system --------------------------------------------------------Check wires for short to ground Turn off dome light switch Check battery and charging system --------------------------------------------------------Check wire for breaks and proper connection. Replace broken wire or reconnect yellow wire to +12V key on Check accessory circuit for shorts and replace fuse. --------------------------------------------------------Check ground on door switch. Replace broken wire to switch ---------------------------Accessory doesn't come on at all, even with key on. ---------------------------Accessory doesn't shut off when door opened (key off) Separate all accessory connections to relay from the rest of vehicle circuitry move yellow wire to location with +12V only with key on. --------------------------------------------------------Reconnect grey wire to dome light circuitry --------------------------------------------------------Cut wire between dome light and driver's door switch. Only wire to driver's door switch should be brown wire (for driver's door shut off option) --------------------------------------------------------- Wiring diagrams for the Retained Accessory Power module WARRANTY All DAKOTA DIGITAL instruments are warranted free of defects in material and workmanship for 2 years from the date of purchase.
