I wired up, actually Mark's old trigger system in my truck and can confirm on my system the green and Yellow/white wire is the ignition wire. I tested it and it was the only one giving me power upon igntion. Just in case anyone was wondering. I'd still check...

Anyone have any issues with leaving this sitting on the battery? That's how mine is but I was thinking of making a bracket and attaching it just in front of the battery. Thoughts?
Well I finally found a fuse I got to tie into so trigger is working flawless so far lol glad you found that ignition wire though.
As for mounting, mine is there. I bought some marine boat battery tie down clips and am using that to secure it. The Velcro doesn’t grip well being so small but if you get other Velcro (larger) I know it would work with no issues. Once I strapped this down with the strap it actually caught the Velcro (pressure) and is hard to come off without force.

77,000 miles and it hasn't moved...there's no where for it to go sandwiched between the battery and the hood...unless you drive with your hood open... ?

When you get a chance you mind snapping a photo? I sure would appreciate it.

lol, I was worried about heat because that battery material is fire rated to a certain degree, with the box sitting on there it gets super hot. So I was just wondering how much caution I need to have!

I haven't found it hot after a long drive or idling in 90 degree heat...
