In the diagram titled "Connecting Additional Devices to the Remote Turn On Lead", concerning the Remote Turn On Lead, what if my trigger is a ground? How would it be wired differently? I need to provide a ground, not power.

you need 12 volts to energize the coil. so if your lead is a ground connect the ground side in that diagram to a 12 volt source, ie. battery

Thanks! I was hoping it would be something that simple!
