Most vehicles are negative ground, the controller is positive ground. What is the proper install for the system in regards to ground.

Positive wire and negative wire go directry into special plug in the controller, then two tray wires (sold separately) go directly to the battery positive and negitive. Easy as putting batteries in a flashlight. Renogy had a utube video. It's so easy. If you wanted to later add more cells, you would need a bigger controller, if you wanted more than 200 watts of solar cells then you would need another battery. If you wanted to plug something in using ac power you would need an solar power inverter. As far as a DC ground, a battery is 12 volts, as long as you use 12 volt items you should be dandy!

This adapter should plug directly into the wiring harness near the driver's left foot. It also plugs into the back of the controller. I found the cable to be too short to mount the controller in the middle of the dash panel. You can install the controller without the cable by splicing wires, but it is easier with the cable

Please explain question yea you have to have a positive and ground and then a tach signal. Are you using a reluctant wheel that grounds when a teeth passes or something?

Three things to check: 1. Do you really want the negative terminal on the left side of the battery? That's where it is on this particular one. 2. Check the battery configuration on your vehicle. The battery needs a different hold-down than the normal rectangular one. 3. Do you want a "post-type" hookup rather than a "screw-in" mount? This one is a "post-type".

I bought a aftermarket positive battery terminal like used to hook up a amp and subwoofers so it gives you spot for your original factory positive wires for the car to the terminal but also gives you a few different spots to hook up accessories like amps or other 12volt accessories and hooked my main positive wires so car starts and all system work 100% like factory set up and ran the power wire from light kit to that same aftermarket terminal and put in another 15amp in line fuse to be 100% safe that lights don't get ruined and car is safe as well..

I don't know your system so be sure to research fully. It's my understanding this a positive + only bus. You will need to ground at another place. I returned this and got the Blue Sea with both pos and ground.

The only answer that I can think of is to ensure you have the ground on the correct side. If ground is opposite, the devise will not function properly.

If it's a properly grounded, running vehicle, the battery ground should be solidly attached to the chassis. Therefor, attaching the inverter to bat + and any good chassis ground should be fine. But getting a set of those quick connect jumpers and using for the inverter rather than jumper cables would be ideal!

It is always recommended to ground the unit, the gen. has a ground lug, ground wire and rod not included

Yes, the vehicle is grounded. you can connect the ground to any metal frame part. Use your meter to test ground spot. Remember to ground to a non painted area for best connection.

With this particular controller, there is four wires. You would either need to hard wire the controller or purchase a vehicle specific wiring harness for it. Some vehicles have a connector under the dash for this harness if they are equipped with the towing package. My vehicle didn't and I had to wire it myself. Hope this helps. Safe towing.

Hmmm, not sure what you are putting this on. In my application, one terminal is ground and the other positive. The positive went to the "ignition" terminal on the key switch.

There is nothing to ground. Power (positive) goes in, then through the fuse(s), and back out to what you need to feed. Fuses themselves don't get "grounded".

Connect the parking brake lead on your head unit to a ground. At least that's how my VW was.

Are you using a grounding rod? The negative post should be wired to a grounding rod that you drive into the ground a few feet. The positive is hooked up to your wire and doesn't need to come back to the negative post. This is designed to have the wire charged and when something comes in contact with it it and the ground (dog,cow, horse) then it gives the shock. I'm not sure what your question is or how you have it set up. Mine works great.

Only thought I have is that you have the polarity reversed on the battery leads. If the leads are correct, the controller is faulty.

There's a positive and negative cable, the positive goes to the fusebox and the negative is grounded to the car, that's how I did it on mine and work's great
