Special Rain Tracker Installation Notes for this vehicle:

DIGITAL SWITCH SYSTEM
These vehicles have a digital switch system and require the use of the CAM Feedback Input
only available on the Rain Tracker model RT-50A.

Use the instructions included in the Rain Tracker kit until you get to step 5a. "Make
the interface connections." At that point, use these instrctions along with the diagram
that can be printed above. Return to the general instructions when the interface connections
have been completed.

Mount the Rain Tracker control module in the passenger compartment under inst. panel. Find
suitable power and ground. Extend the FAST, SLOW and CAM connections to the Rain Tracker
through the firewall to reach the wiper motor.

FIND +12V
For Rain Tracker power (+12V), locate a source of power hot in accessory or run. Power
source should be min. 12-16ga. wire on a 15-25A circuit. This can be one of the +12V
sources as shown on the diagram, or some other accessory source. The cigarette lighter is
often a good +12V source.

FIND CHASSIS GROUND
Find a suitable screw or bolt on the metal chassis of the vehicle to use as the Rain Tracker
ground. Scrape away paint as needed for a good connection. Use a multi-meter to verify that
the ground connection is at most a few ohms. The cigarette lighter can also be a good
alternate for ground and/or power.
