Re: Install instructions for Baker VATS bypass box?

Someone on here has to have used a Baker box. I know 1 wire from the box goes to a dark blue on the BCM, but looks like there are 2 dark blue wires from the BCM?

What is the easiest 12v wire to tap into for power to the Baker box? I assume there is a screw or something down there to use as ground.

Not very many people need to use the Baker box. Usually the resistor bypass method works for them.

D8 in C3 is the fuel enable wire to the PCM.

Thank you! Do you also happen to know what my best bets are for 12v power & ground here as well?

I'd probably run something from a spare IGN source at fuse box. There should be a ground stud in the kick panel.
