Anyone done the trimfix 451 relay?

[Geeledouche]

I have done a decent amount of research for my 97 gsx VTS bypass, and hopefully I'm just overthinking it, but I have a few questions. It says on the instructions Ive found on this and other sites as follows

"relay / Seadoo

(Small wires)

red / purple (vts switches)
blue / blue & white (vts switches)
green / green & white (vts switches)"

but in the manual it says my vts switches are "blue and white", "Green and white" and "black".

no mention of purple.


Also, where are you guys mounting the sealed box with the relay and fuse? are you mounting around the gas tank or near the vts housing?

Also, when it says "violet & black fused wire on relay to red power", am I looking for a red wire or am I wiring directly to the battery?

Thanks for the help guys!

Bueller? anyone??? somebody has to have done this before..

I did this to my wife's 96 SPX last year. Trim and gauge works like a charm. I found the thread on this forum. I don't remember the exact wiring diagram off the top of my head. I cut the harness and mounted mine up high near the wire loom bracket back by the VTS to keep it high and dry. I f you use the search feature at the top you should be able to find the diagram pretty quickly.

That is the diagram I used as well as a factory diagram for my ski.

Thank you very much for the reply and the diagram. Did you use 2 relays like the diagram shows or did you use the 451 single relay?

Alright, I watched a few more youtube videos and did a little more research,, it looks like the small red wire off the relay goes straight to your positive power on the battery. and the brown/black and the white/black on the relay goes straight to ground on the battery. THAT makes a lot more sense. thank you for helping me out on this. hopefully I can have it up and running by the weekend!!!

I didn't run any wires to the battery. I used power and ground from the factory wire diagram. It kept it cleaner for my liking. Doing it that way may put a draw on your battery if there's any issues within the vts module. My way completely bypasses the vts module except for the gauge Reed switches.

thank you very much for the reply!

So.. question for you. did you wire the vts switch from the front of the ski or did you find the wires ( blue and white and green and white in this case ) near the rear and splice into them?

 

[Geeledouche]

I'm basically wondering if I have to splice into the vts switch wires right out of the handle or if I can find them in the back? In the back would be much cleaner than running wires from the front to the back of the ski.

I spliced everything within a 4 inch section of the harnesses. Keeps it clean and simple. No extra wiring, just redirecting all needed wires.
