SVA wiring...

Nick: The green wire does not control anything in the SVA. Rather, it controls EXTERNAL devices.

You've got it connected right. Now, if you want to On/Off the SVA, connect the yellow wire to the switched side of the ignition switch, then the unit will be off when the ignition switch is off.

You've got it connected the way you should do it when you're using just an external power supply in, for instance, a base station.

On my SVA's when I cut the power all the lights go off. If you use the yellow wire shutoff the lights may stay on but I'm not sure if they will or not.

To revive an old thread:

If I have the ignition sense wire hooked to a switched source, will the SVA still operate, minus the battery charger, with the ignition sense wire low, or will it be completely dead?
