5. Safety Information
Always exercise caution when working with electrical systems. Ensure the vehicle's ignition is off and the battery is disconnected before beginning any installation. The HomeLink system operates on 12 volts. Incorrect wiring can cause damage to the unit or your vehicle's electrical system. If you are unsure about any part of the installation process, it is recommended to seek assistance from a qualified automotive technician.
6. Installation
The HomeLink module is designed for integration into your vehicle's interior, often in the overhead console, sun visor, or dashboard. Installation typically involves wiring the module to your vehicle's electrical system.

- Black Wire: Connect to a reliable ground source in your vehicle.

Ensure all connections are secure and properly insulated. Consider installing an in-line fuse for added protection if one is not already integrated into the harness.
