Documentation for inMOTION NGX Modules

March 20, 2025/0 Comments/in Wiring /by admin

Our inMOTION NGX revolutionizes the way your wire your door functions in your restoration, street rod, kit car, hot rod, restomod or Pro-Touring build. Instead of running large bundles of wires through the door hinge, we reduce that down to 4 simple wires. inMOTION NGX is the next generation of door control modules. In one box, you can easily wire your power locks and windows with much less wire running to the door than traditional wiring harnesses. You simply mount the inMOTION NGX module in your door and you get local control with less wire. You need to simply run power, ground and our two CAN wires through the hinge of the door. This blog is going to walk through the manual and the configuration sheet for inMOTION NGX.

Since you have one inMOTION NGX module per door, you can easily scale your car or truck build by adding as many as you need. The modules communicate with each other using a J1939 network. That means you can easily get central locking from all the doors. You can also control passenger windows from the driver’s door. You get late-model conveniences in your classic car or truck.

inMOTION NGX is designed to control your power lock actuator and power window motor from inside the door. We use special polarity reversing relays to control these features from any switch. We also build 4 outputs into the inMOTION NGX module for local control of switch indicators, interior lights, accent lighting, puddle lights or other features.

This link will take you to the manual for our inMOTION NGX kit. This document takes you through the process of wiring your doors with inMOTION NGX. It describes how inMOTION NGX works, talks about how to properly mount it in your door, details wiring the switches and loads to the module and gives you a check list for each step.

There is a configuration sheet specific to inMOTION NGX. This sheet details which input wires connect to your switches and which output wires connect to your loads. It also shows how the different inMOTION NGX modules interact with each other and the other parts of the Infinitybox IPM1 kit. You can download the standard configuration sheet by clicking this link.

Wiring Russ Thompson Turn Signal System

March 2, 2025/0 Comments/in Wiring /by admin

Russ Thompson has been making high-quality turn signal assemblies for the full range of Factory Five Cars. We have been getting a lot of requests for a wiring diagram to show you how to connect his turn-signal switch to our new Infinitybox IPM1 kit. This blog post will get you those details. Please note that this post details the wiring using our Next Generation System. Please click here if you have one of our Legacy Infinitybox systems.

Russ Thompson made high-quality turn signal stalk assemblies for the Factory Five Roadster, Type 63 and the GTM. You can learn more about his products at this link.

The new Infinitybox IPM1 kit includes the next generation of our MASTERCELL and POWERCELLs. These products include numerous refinements and enhancements that our customers have requested. You can learn more about the IPM1 kit at this link. Turn signals and 4-way flashers have always been easy to wire with the Infinitybox system. The addition of indicator outputs on the MASTERCELL NGX make this even easier.

The Infinitybox manages all the required functions for turn signals and 4-ways. The MASTERCELL handles the patterns internally so you do not need a flasher relay. You simply ground the inputs for the left and right turn signals to make them work. We manage the rest for you. The distributed architecture of the system makes running the wire through your car easy. You have a POWERCELL output module in the front of your car and one in the rear. Each of these POWERCELLs has outputs for turn signals. That means that you are running the front turn signals from the front POWERCELL and the rear signals from the rear. All of your wire is run locally. This minimizes the total amount of wire needed in the car.

We also manage the 4-ways or hazards internally. The MASTERCELL generates the pattern so no external flasher is required. When you ground the input for the 4-ways, the MASTERCELL tells the front & rear POWERCELLs to flash all the turn signals together.

Wiring the turn signal switch and the hazard switch is very easy with the Infinitybox IPM1 kit. You simply connect the left turn, right turn and 4-way inputs from the MASTERCELL to the switches in the Russ Thompson turn signal stalk. Instead of connecting the other side of the switch to a flasher, you connect it to ground. When you turn on a switch, that pulls the MASTERCELL input to ground, which triggers its function. The following diagram shows how to connect the inputs to the stalk switches.

Picture of Infinitybox wiring diagram showing how to wire Russ Thompson Turn Signal Stalk

The wire colors for your MASTERCELL inputs are defined in the configuration sheet that came with your kit. Click on this link to get to our standard front-engine configuration.

For the turn signal wires from the stalk, the black-red wire should connect to ground. The red-white wire connects to the MASTERCELL input for your left turn signal and the red-yellow wire connects to the input for the right turn signal.

There is another great feature included with our MASTERCELL NGX. In addition to the inputs, the MASTERCELL NGX has outputs to locally power things like indicators. Since your MASTERCELL is located close to your switches, it is very easy to run these indicator wires to the indicator lights on your dash for your turn signals and indicators. When the MASTERCELL is telling the POWERCELLs to flash the turn signals, it is also flashing the indicators. See the wiring diagram above for details on wiring you dash indicators.

The last feature in the Russ Thompson kit is the button at the end of the turn signal stalk. This is a momentary button intended to be used to control the high-beams. With a typical wiring set up, you would need a separate relay or high-beam module to manage this. With the Infinitybox IPM1 kit, you can control your high-beams from this momentary button internally. Our high-beam input can be set to toggle the high-beams on and off. See the diagram above to show how to wire this input to the switch in the Russ Thompson kit. Both the wires for the button on the Russ Thompson harness are black. Connect one to ground and the other to the MASTERCELL input for the high-beams.

You can also use this button to control the horn if you want. Instead of the high-beam input, connect the horn input. See you configuration sheet for details.

NGX Configuration Sheet- POWERCELL Outputs

December 2, 2024/0 Comments/in Wiring /by admin

We have completely re-engineered our Infinitybox system to bring the latest in wiring and body control technology to anyone wiring a hot rod, street rod, resto-mod, kit car, race car or Pro-Touring build. We have also re-engineered the NGX configuration sheet for this system. This new configuration sheet format makes it easier to read, gives more detail and gives all of the wire colors needed to connect to your switches and your accessories in your car or truck. This is the standard configuration that comes loaded on all new IPM1 kits. With our inCODE NGX programming tool, you can modify this configuration to meet the needs of your unique project.

This link will take you to the Front Engine configuration for our IPM1 kit. Watch the resources section of our website for other setups including the Rear Engine configuration. This blog post will walk through the details for the POWERCELL output assignments and the outputs on the MASTERCELL NGX. Watch out blog for details on the inMOTION NGX inputs and outputs.

To start, the configuration sheet is broken down into the different cells in the Infinitybox NGX system. This includes the front & rear POWERCELLs and the different inMOTION NGX cells for the doors (driver, passenger, driver rear & passenger rear). Our IPM1 kit comes standard with one MASTERCELL NGX and two of our POWERCELL NGXs. You can add as many inMOTION NGX door modules as you need for your car or truck. Most customers will add 2 or 4 inMOTION MGX modules to their system as accessories depending on if they are working on a 2 or 4 door car. Since the MASTERCELL NGX has low-current outputs to drive indicators on the dash, we added a page that details the wiring for these. Lastly, we added pages that detail all the wires in the MASTERCELL A & B connector harnesses.

For the front & rear POWERCELL pages, we’ve reorganized the columns to make this easier to read. The first column lists the function assigned to each POWERCELL output. This includes things like turn signals, ignition, starter solenoid, lights, cooling fans and fuel pumps. Any output that is labeled as OPEN is an auxiliary. There is no set function assigned to the output. Its corresponding input will turn it on and off.

The next column gives the address of the POWERCELL. By default, the front POWERCELL is addressed as 1 and the rear POWERCELL is addressed as 2.

The next column lists the POWERCELL output by number for the function. There are 10 outputs on a POWERCELL and they are listed in numerical order. Some functions list multiple outputs. Examples include the 4-ways and the One-Button Start. In these cases, the function uses two different outputs. The 4-ways use the left and right turn signal outputs. The One-Button Start function uses the outputs for both the ignition and starter.

The next column gives you the POWERCELL output connector that the output is connected to. The manual for your IPM1 kit has a diagram that identifies the A & B output connectors on the POWERCELL. Please pay attention to this diagram carefully. The A & B connectors are interchangeable on the POWERCELL.

The next column defines the “personality” assigned to the POWERCELL output and its corresponding input. The personality is how the output behaves when it is turned on. The most basic and common personality is “track”. Outputs assigned the track personality turn on when the input is turned on and turn off when the input is turned off. The input tracks the state of its input. You can learn more about the other available personalities by clicking this link.

The next column lists the wire color for each output on the POWERCELL output harness. Please note that the output harness colors for the outputs are the same for the front and rear POWERCELLs. Pay attention to the POWERCELL address to make sure you are connecting to the right output.

The last three columns tell you the details for the MASTERCELL inputs that are controlling each POWERCELL output. The input number, the MASTERCELL connector (A or B) and the wire color are listed.

After the POWERCELL details, the next page details the low-current outputs on the MASTERCELL NGX. These outputs give you easy access to low-current outputs to drive indicators on your dash. There are 8 of these outputs. The first 4 are assigned to the left-turn signal indicator, the right-turn signal indicator, the high-beam indicator and the illumination for your gauges. The next 4 are auxiliary outputs and can be set up as an advanced feature of the MASTERCELL NGX. Contact our tech support team for details.

Dakota Digital GSS-3000

May 31, 2022/0 Comments/in Wiring /by admin

This blog post will show you the connections that you need to make between your Infinitybox 20-Circuit Kit and the Dakota Digital GSS-3000 Universal Gear Shift Sender. The GSS-3000 is designed to drive the gear selector indicators on your dash from any automatic transmission. Their kit has a rotary potentiometer that connects to the shift linkage on the transmission. It learns the position of the different gears and sends signals to indicators on your dash to show you what gear you are in. It is a simple and clever product. The Dakota Digital GSS-3000 has contacts that are designed to drive your back up lights when you have the transmission in reverse. It also has a set of contacts for a Neutral Safety Switch. This sends out a signal when the transmission is in park or neutral and it is safe to start the engine. Your Infinitybox system can take in these two signals to easily drive your back up lights and manage your Neutral Safety Switch. Keep reading to learn more.

Before you go any further, it is important that you read and carefully understand the instructions for your Dakota Digital GSS-3000 Universal Gear Shift Sender. You can download these instructions from their website by clicking here. This blog post is only going to cover the ignition power to the GSS-3000, the neutral safety signal and the connection to the back up lights. Please follow their instructions for the rest of the wiring to the module. This picture will show the wiring diagram for the connections to the GSS-3000.

Picture of Infinitybox Wiring Diagram for the Dakota Digital GSS-3000

First, you need to provide key-on ignition power to the module. When the key is in the run position, the module will get its power. You’re going to tap into the ignition output on your front POWERCELL. Check your configuration sheet for the wire color for your ignition output. You can splice into this wire directly or you can use one of our Splice Saver Kits to make a simple and clean connection for ignition power.

Next, you can take their Back Up signal and use it to control the back up lights in the back of you car. The advantage of doing it this way is that you’re running less wire. The signal will come from the GSS-3000 in the front of the car and connect to the MASTERCELL, also in the front of the car. The back up lights will get their power from the rear POWERCELL. You are not running a wire all the way from the GSS-3000 in the front of the car to the back up lights in the rear of the car. The GSS-3000 puts out a positive signal for the back up lights. You need to use one of our inVERT Minis to flip this to a ground signal. See the details in the wiring diagram for how to make these connections.

Lastly, you can use the Dakota Digital GSS-3000 to send the MASTERCELL the signal for the Neutral Safety Switch. The MASTERCELL needs to see a ground signal through the input for the Neutral Safety Switch. Check your configuration sheet for specifics on the wire color for your system. This blog post will get you more details on the Neutral Safety Switch input. In a lot of transmissions, there is a switch built into them that will give you this signal for when it is safe to start the engine. If your transmission does not have a built-in safety switch, you can use the signal from the GSS-3000. This is a ground signal from their SAFETY terminal. We recommend wiring a 1N4001 diode in series with the MASTERCELL input to isolate the MASTERCELL from the GSS-3000. This blog post will get you more details about wiring this diode in line. When you have the transmission in the park or neutral position, the MATERCELL will get the signal that it safe to start the engine.

The is an important consideration here regarding using the GSS-3000 neutral safety signal and the Infinitybox built-in One-Button Start feature. This feature will not work if you are taking the neutral safety signal from the GSS-3000. Since the GSS-3000 is getting its power from the ignition output from your POWERCELL, the module will not trigger the neutral safety signal in time for the MASTERCELL to process this. You will need to use an external neutral safety switch if you want to use our One-Button Start feature and the GSS-3000.

Soldering Components In-Line

May 27, 2022/1 Comment/in Wiring /by admin

Okay… we do our best to not take things for granted. In all of our blog posts, we always try to give you as much fundamental information on the material that we are presenting. Every once in a while, we get called out by our customers for not explaining something thoroughly. This post is intended to fix this. In a lot of our blog posts and wiring diagrams, we show components installed in-line with a MASTERCELL input or a connection to ground.

In our last blog post, we showed wiring a 10K pull up resistor on a brake-pedal switch. You can see that blog post here. In other blog posts, we’ve shown wiring diodes in-line between a trigger on an ECU and a MASTERCELL input. You can click here to see a recent example blog post. Someone just asked us an obvious question on our last blog post. “How do I install the diode or the resistor in the wire”. We’ll show you how. This isn’t the only way to do this but it is our recommended way to do this.

There are three important factors to consider when installing an in-line component in a wire. First, you need to have good electrical connection. Second, you need to protect it mechanically. Lastly, you need to protect the joint from the environment.

These steps will show you how to solder an axial, leaded component in-line with a wire. A leaded part has metal terminals coming off its ends. An axial part has the leads running along the axis of the component. This picture shows you a good example of an axial, leaded diode.

Example of a simple diode

Speaking of diodes, remember that they have a direction to them. Check our wiring diagram for proper orientation of the diodes. Resistors do not have a direction so you can install them either way in your wiring harness.

The first step is to strip back the insulation on the wire you’re connecting to your component.

Next, you want to twist the strands of the copper wire together. This will make the next steps easier by keeping the strands together.

Next, twist the strands of the wire with the lead coming from your component. We recommend leaving some length of the lead at the end as shown in this picture.

The next step is to make a good electrical connection between your wire and the lead on your component. This needs to be soldered. A good soldering iron and electrical solder will make this job easy. You want to make sure that you are heating the joint thoroughly and that the solder is flowing between the copper wire and the lead on your component. When you’re finished, the joint should be shiny. If your joint looks grey or dull, you need to apply more heat and solder. We also recommend keeping the solder on the joint between the copper wire and the lead on the component. You do not want the solder to wick up the copper wire under the insulation. This will make the joint inflexible and it could fail over time.

Once you have the joint soldered, clip off the extra length of lead on the component.

Repeat this process for the other side of your component.

Now you have a good electrical connection between your wires and your component. The next step is to protect the component mechanically and from the environment. To do this, we recommend a good quality heat shrink tubing. Heat shrink tubing does what its name suggests. It shrinks around a joint when you heat it. Cut a length of heat shrink tubing that is slightly larger in diameter than the component that you soldered in line. You want the length of this tubing to extend past the exposed area of your joint by about 1/2″ on both sides.

Use a hot air gun to heat the tubing and shrink it over the component and the joints. We know that a lot of guys like to use lighters or torches to do this but we really recommend a hot air gun for better control and safety.

The heat shrink tubing is going to do two important things. First, it is going to mechanically strain relieve your joints. This will keep the joints from failing due to vibration of mechanical stress. We recommend that you zip tie these components in the harness to minimize any bending or movement as an added precaution. Secondly, the heat shrink tubing is going to protect the joints from exposure to moisture, dirt and other chemicals in your car.

Soldering in-line components in your harness is a simple thing to do. If you have any additional questions about this, please click on this link to contact our technical support team.

+12 Volt Brake Light Signals

May 24, 2022/1 Comment/in Wiring /by admin

Our MASTERCELL uses ground switching to control all of the electrical functions in your car. There are many advantages to ground switching. You need less wire, you are only triggering a signal so the there is less current flowing through the switch and you can get the ability for combinational logic easily. This link will take you to a good description of how the MASTERCELL inputs work and how you should wire the switches connected to your Infinitybox system. Your brake pedal switch is no different. You run your MASTERCELL input for your brake lights to the switch on the pedal. You connect your brake lights to the outputs on your rear POWERCELL. When you step on the pedal, the MASTERCELL tells the rear POWERCELL to turn on the brake lights. It’s pretty simple. This blog post will get you more details on wiring your brake lights. Normally, you’re going to use ground switching between your brake pedal switch and your MASTERCELL. There are some times when you need a positive 12-volt signal from your brake pedal to interface with other electrical systems. This blog post is going to show you a few easy options to get this +12 volt brake light signal.

There are several external electrical systems that need a positive signal from the brake pedal. Examples of these systems include transmission controllers to manage the torque converter lock up. Other examples include cruise control systems to disengage the system when you step on the brakes. Another example is an external PKE system with one button start. You must step on the brake pedal to safely start the car. In a typical Infinitybox wiring set up, there is no battery voltage at the brake pedal switch. An option to get this +12-volt signal would be to tap off the brake light on the rear POWERCELL. This requires that you run a wire from the back of the car up to the front. This may also be an issue if you’re using out 1-filament brake light set up. We’re going to give you a few simple options to get this +12 volt brake light signal from the pedal to keep the wiring in your car short.

Before we get too far, you need to carefully read and understand the instructions for the electrical system that you’re interfacing with your Infinitybox system. Make sure you know exactly what signal you need from your brake pedal switch. Some systems need a +12-volt signal when you step on the brakes and a ground signal when your foot is off the pedal. Other systems need a 12-volt signal when you’re foot is off the pedal and ground when you step on the pedal. Make sure you understand what you need. The following examples will show you how to accommodate any of these options.

The next thing that we need to review is the difference between Normally Open and Normally Closed switches. These designations describe what the contacts in the switches are doing when the switch is in its normal state. A Normally Open (NO) switch is off when you are not pushing it. You have to push the switch to turn the switch on. A Normally Closed (NC) switch is on when you are not pushing it and off when you push it. The majority of the switches in your car are Normally Open (NO) but there are a few exceptions.

There are a few different types of brake pedal switches. Two terminal switches are the most common. There are also 4-terminal switches. Within the 4-terminal switches, most of these have a set of Normally Open (NO) contacts and a set of Normally Closed (NC) contacts.

Let’s start with the 2-terminal switches. These have a set of Normally Open contacts. The switch is off when you are not pressing the brake pedal. When you step on the pedal, you close the contacts. This makes an electrical connection between the two terminals on the switch. In a normal Infinitybox set up, you ground one of the terminals on the switch and connect the second terminal to the MASTERCELL input for your brake lights. When you step on the brake pedal, you make an electrical connection between the MASTERCELL input and ground. This is a very simple set up, however you don’t have +12 volts at the switch.

This diagram shows you how to wire your 2-terminal brake pedal switch to get a +12 volt signal and a ground signal for the MASTERCELL. It uses an Infinitybox inVERT Mini to flip the 12-volt signal from the switch to ground the MASTERCELL input.

Instead of grounding one terminal on the brake pedal switch, connect it to the ignition output on your front POWERCELL. When the ignition is on in the car, you will have voltage on this terminal on the switch. You can splice into the ignition output wire on the POWERCELL or you can use one of our Infinitybox Splice Saver kits to make this connection. You will then connect the second terminal on the brake pedal switch to your controller that needs the +12-volt signal when you step on the pedal. On this second terminal, you will also connect the input wire for the inVERT Mini. The black wire on the inVERT Mini gets connected to ground and the output wire connects to the MASTERCELL input for your brake lights. It’s pretty simple. You can download a PDF copy of this wiring diagram by clicking this link.

Another option is if you have a 4-terminal brake pedal switch. These have two pairs of terminals. Usually, the pair of terminals closest to the switch plunger are the Normally Open contacts. They close when you step on the brake pedal. The set of terminals furthest from the plunger is Normally Closed. These contacts open when you step on the brake lights. These diagrams assume that your switch has a Normally Open and a Normally Closed set of contacts. Please confirm the type of switch that you have by checking resistance between the terminals with a multimeter. You are going to use the Normally Open terminals to ground your MASTERCELL input for the brake lights. Ground one of these terminals and connect the second terminal to the MASTERCELL input.

On the Normally Closed set of terminals, you are going to connect one of these to ground. You then connect one end of a 10K (10,000 ohm) resistor to the second Normally Closed terminal. The other end of the resistor should get connected to the ignition output on your front POWERCELL. This resistor should be rated for at least 1/4 (0.25) Watts. You can buy these easily from Amazon. Just search for “1/4 watt 10k resistor”. This picture will show you the connections that you need to make to your brake pedal switch.

When you are not stepping on the brake pedal, the brake signal wire terminal is pulled to ground by the fact that the terminals are closed. The 10K resistor limits the amount of current flowing through the switch to less than 2 mA (0.002 amps). When you step on the brake pedal, these contacts open and the brake signal wire is pulled up to the battery voltage through the 10K resistor. You can download a PDF copy of this wiring diagram by clicking this link.

There are some scenarios where you need +12 volts when you foot is not on the brake pedal and ground when you step on the pedal. This picture will show you how to wire the switch.

You are going to wire the MASTERCELL input and its ground the same way that you did for the other example. Then connect one of the NC terminals on the switch to the ignition output on your POWERCELL. Connect the second NC terminal on the switch to your brake signal connection. Lastly, connect a 10K resistor (just like in the previous example) between the brake signal wire and ground. When you foot is off the pedal, you’ll have 12-volts on the brake signal wire. When you step on the pedal, the contacts in the switch open and disconnect the brake signal wire from ignition power. The 10K resistor pulls the brake signal wire to ground. You can download a PDF copy of this diagram by clicking this link.

Wiring the Holley HP EFI System

May 20, 2022/0 Comments/in Wiring /by admin

This blog post goes through the details of wiring the Holley HP EFI System with our Infinitybox 20-Circuit Kit. We will show you the ease and simplicity of wiring your EFI system with Infinitybox. The wiring is simple and short and you can eliminate the need for external relays. We’ll go through the key steps and give you a wiring diagram that shows you all the details to wire your Holley HP EFI Engine Management System with our Infinitybox system.

Before we get too far, you must thoroughly read and understand the instructions that came from Holley to install the HP EFI system. Please consult their website to get the instillation instructions. The other important thing to consider here is that we are going to show you how to connect your Infinitybox wiring system to the Holley HP. This will include wiring the key-on ignition power, the cooling fan trigger and the fuel pump trigger. Consult the Holley manual for all details regarding primary power from the battery, coil wiring, injector wiring, sensor wiring and grounds. This diagram shows you the connections between your Infinitybox system and the Holley HP ECU.

Picture of wiring diagram showing how to wire Holley HP EFI system with the Infinitybox wiring system

Your Infinitybox 20-Circuit Kit powers the key electrical systems in your car. We’re going to provide the key-on ignition power to the Holley HP system. You are going to connect your POWERCELL ignition output to the 12V Switched wire in the Holley Harness. This is their Red/White wire. In most Infinitybox configurations, your ignition output is the light-green wire on your front POWERCELL but we encourage you to always use your configuration sheet to confirm wire colors in your specific kit. You can get more details on your configuration sheet by clicking this link. When you turn on your ignition switch, the POWERCELL will provide the key-on ignition power that the Holley HP needs to run. You can learn more about wiring your ignition switch to your MASTERCELL by clicking this link.

You can use an output your Infinitybox rear POWERCELL to provide the power to your fuel pump. There are several advantages to using the fuel pump output on your POWERCELL. First, you do not need to use a relay. The POWERCELL has the capability to control 25-amps to your fuel pump directly without a relay. The second advantage is that you can power the fuel pump from the POWERCELL in the back of your car. This keeps your wiring short and easy to install. The Holley HP ECU has a fuel pump trigger that you can connect into the MASTERCELL input for your fuel pump. The Holley fuel pump signal is +12 volts so you must use one of our inVERT Minis to flip this to a ground trigger to go into the MASTERCELL. You can learn more about the inVERT Mini at this link.

You can also use an output on your Infinitybox front POWERCELL to power your cooling fan. You get same benefits with your cooling fan as you do your fuel pump. Your wiring is shorter and you do not need to use an external relay to control the fan. You can either use a thermostatic switch on the engine or you can have the Holley HP ECU send the MASTERCELL the signal to control the fan. This link will show you how wire in a thermostatic switch. The Holley HP ECU has programmable outputs that can be used to signal the MASTERCELL input for the cooling fan. You need to use one of their “G” or ground switched outputs and need to configure this within their software tool. You must use a diode to isolate the output on the Holley HP from the MASTERCELL. See the details in our wiring diagram.

Those are all of the connections that you need to make between your Infinitybox 20-Circuit Kit and the Holley HP EFI system. You can download a PDF of this wiring diagram by clicking this link.

Jeep CJ7 Wiring Diagrams

May 19, 2022/0 Comments/in Wiring /by admin

We’ve had our 1979 Jeep CJ7 on the road for a few years, fully wired with our Infinitybox system. It is a great test vehicle for our products. If you haven’t seen the install series for the Jeep, you can see all the details including the videos by clicking this link. We created a full set of wiring diagrams showing how we wired the Jeep with our Infinitybox system. These show where we mounted the cells, how we routed primary power from the battery and the CAN cables. They also show how we wired all of the switches to the MASTERCELL and how we wired all of the loads to the POWERCELLs. We also show the details of the dash lighting, the wiper wiring and the gauge wiring. While these drawings show our Infinitybox system going into a Jeep, these diagrams are applicable for any resto-mod, street rod, kit car, hot rod or Pro-Touring build that you may be working on.

These links will take you to PDF copies of these wiring diagrams.

Haltech ECU Wiring Diagram

February 24, 2022/1 Comment/in Wiring /by admin

Here’s the answer to a question that we get asked a lot. Will the Infinitybox system work with my ECU or EFI system? The answer is always, YES. We play nicely with everyone’s fuel injection system. We recently received this question related to the Haltech Elite 950 ECU. This blog post is going to show you how easy it is to wire this EFI set up with our Infinitybox system.

Just like anything else, please start by reading the instructions. This blog post is going to cover the details of wiring the Haltech Elite 950 ECU with the Infinitybox 20-Circuit Kit. We’re going to assume that you’re running our Front-Engine configuration. If you’re running our Rear-Engine configuration, check your configuration sheet for the specific locations of the inputs and outputs referenced in this blog post. The Haltech part number for this ECU is HT-150700 and you can get to its details at this link. Read and understand their instructions before you get into wiring.

This blog post is going to show you how to get ignition power to their ECU. It will also show you how to take the cooling fan and fuel pump triggers from the ECU into the MASTERCELL. Lastly, this blog post will show you how wire in the power to the injectors and coils so you can eliminate the need for external relays.

This diagram will show you the connections that you will make between your Infinitybox system and the Haltech ECU harness.

To start, the ECU needs to be grounded. You need to take the black wire going to terminal 10 on the 34-pin connector and ground that. This should be through a metal-to-metal connection to the chassis. There should be no dirt, grease, oil, paint, rust, powder coating or anything else in this connection.

Next, the ECU needs key-on-power. This power should be on when the key is in the run and start position. You are going to get this power from the Ignition output on your POWERCELL. In most kits, this is output 3, the green wire, on the front POWERCELL. Check your configuration sheet for the wire colors for your specific kit. Since your POWERCELLs manage all of the high-current switching in your electrical system, you do not need external relays to control your fuel injection system. Connect your Ignition output from your POWERCELL to the “12V ECU” wire going to terminal 26 on the ECU harness. This is the red wire with the blue tracer.

You can bring ignition power to the coils and the injectors from the Ignition output on your POWERCELL. You can splice these wire together, use a terminal block or use our Splice Saver kit to make a reliable and sealed connection. This diagram will show you how to connect the Splice Saver kit to your ignition output, the coils and the injector.

Next you are going to connect the outputs on the Haltech ECU for the fuel pump and the cooling fan to their inputs on the MASTERCELL. Haltech dedicates DPO 5 for the fuel pump. You can connect that to your MASTERCELL Input for your fuel pump. We strongly recommend isolating the MASTERCELL from the ECU with a 1N4001 diode. The orientation of this diode is very important. Refer to the diagram above to show proper orientation of the anode and cathode of this diode.

You can use any of the other digital outputs on the Haltech ECU to trigger the MASTERCELL input for the cooling fan. You must isolate the ECU from the MASTERCELL using a 1N4001 diode like the fuel pump. We chose DPO 2 in our diagram. You can use any of the available digital outputs however you must set them up correctly in their programming application.

Please note that you cannot pulse the DPO signal from the ECU that goes into the MASTERCELL for the fuel pump or the cooling fan. These should be on and off signals to turn the pump and fan on and off.
