    Remove the thin wire that goes on the solenoid then put a jumper wire from positive to the solenoid where you remove the wire.Be careful when you do this that your hand isn't on a belt or something because if it cranks you be in trouble.

    I had a 2014 TK Evo and next to zero issues with it and had moved it to 3 different trucks

    Had a red light that turned out to be a ground
    If I remember correctly I think it might have been a braided flat band???? That ran behind the motor itself from the top to the bottom somewhere
    Not sure on that but a ground wire fixed my only real issue in the 7 or so years I ran it
    I think it looked good on each end but there was a break within the wire itself
     
    Siinman, reeferwrencher and D.Tibbitt Thank this.

    If that's the only problem you ever had with a tripac consider yourself blessed.

    I think an alternator maybe the first year??
    Thought I had a bad fuel pump a couple years ago so I bought one. Never put it on
    I think it was just gas or filter issue but it fixed itself
    Other than that just regular oil changes
