Getting started
Note: The following is a universal wiring installation. For more specific
information on some of the more common vehicles, please visit the F/IC section of the
AEM Electronics Forum. Also, to make the install easier and to save you from cutting
your factory harness, we recommend the use of a “patch” or “extension” harness.
These harnesses are available for various vehicles on order from our website:
http://www.aempower.com/ViewCategory.aspx?CategoryID=315. The first step in
connecting the F/IC is to determine what features/functions are needed and which
functions are not needed. The F/IC comes with a universal flying lead that has 46 non-
terminated wires. At first glance, the bundle of wires is quite intimidating. However, by
answering some questions about your vehicle and what you want to do with the F/IC,
some of the wires can be eliminated. Before we begin, we must learn the two types of
connections used with the F/IC: the tap and the intercept. See Figure 2.
