ISIS Power- Where do I start to rewire my car?

Since we started the ISIS Power business in 2007, we have expanded our product offering significantly.  We often get the question about where you should start to wire your car with ISIS.  This post will help you start from the beginning.  Regardless of the car and its ultimate complexity, most builds start with our 3-Cell Kit. 

This link will take you to the details of the 3-Cell Kit. 

The 3-Cell Kit is a universal system that gets you everything that you would need to wire 20-circuit in the car. It includes one MASTERCELL to connect to your switches and 2 POWERCELLs. You typically place one POWERCELL up front to power things like headlights, turn signals, parking lights, ECU, starter solenoid, horn, dash illumination, etc. The second POWERCELL goes in the rear and powers the tail lights, turn-signals, fuel pump, amps, etc. The kit also includes all of the harnesses for the inputs and outputs plus the fuses to protect the power lines going to the POWERCELLs. The basic programming covers all of the basic car functions including our one-button start.

This link takes you to the manual for the 3-cell kit.

This link takes you to the standard front-engine configuration for the system, which is what you would need for most vehicles.

This details all of the input wire colors and output wire colors for the different functions in the car. This includes the fuel pump, fans and all of the other powered accessories.  If you'd like to watch a video that gives you more information on how to read our configuration sheet, click on this link. 

The 3-Cell Kit gets you everything to get power from the battery up to the individual accessories in the car. We give you the 4-gauge to go from the battery to the included primary fuse block. We give you all of the power harnesses for the POWERCELLs, the input harnesses to the MASTERCELL, the POWERCELL output harnesses plus the CAN cable that connects everything together. All of the harnesses are terminated on one end with the ISIS mating connector. The other is a length of wire. You run the harness to length, dress it and crimp on your terminal to connect to your accessory.

Most of our customers add inLINK. This gets you wireless control of the car through a 16-function key fob for things like lights, door poppers and panic functions. It also gets you a powerful security system. When the system is locked from the key fob, the outputs for ignition, starter and fuel pump are completely blocked out from within the MASTERCELL. Trying to activate the switch does nothing until the system is unlocked from the key fob. The best thing about inLINK is that is part of ISIS. You don’t need to connect in a separate alarm or radio control module. You can get more details here.

From here, you can get as extreme with the electrical and wiring system in your car.  If you'd like to learn more check us out at www.isispower.com or give our guys a call at (847) 232-1991.
