    Question Wings-A-Loft Ground Wire Question for Basic Remote Door Launcher System

    Hey everyone,

    So I am installing Toby's Door Launchers, and it's the weekend so I figured I'd ask here until I can get to Toby on Monday. So far, everything is going fine; I am currently wiring everything up to the controller/DMCH door module/relays, and I had a question. Obviously, this will be geared towards those who have installed the kit.

    So, third bullet under "Remote Controller Central Processor", it says "The black wire should be connected to a good quality ground...."

    My question - there are two black wires: 1. Going from the back of the main controller black box... 2. The other is coming off of a wiring loom that consists of two wires (a red power wire with an inline 2A fuse and then a black ground wire). Which black wire are the instructions referring to - the one by itself on the main black box controller or the black wire that is part of the two wire loom ?

    And even then, once one of these two black ground wires is used, where does the other one go... ?

    Thank you!

    Eddie: Yeah, you'll be able to give the car gas, and it won't be - like - embarrassing....

    Looks like I got it. Remote lock and unlock so far have been installed. I used the ground that was coupled with the red power wire.

    Does the black wire all by itself on the controller serve a purpose, or is it just an alternate ground that we can use if we choose?

    Yes, I know the lighting and the video being sideways sucks. Sorry =/.

    If the black wire is coming off the module then I believe you are seeing the antenna. Just leave that alone and stretched out over the box.
