NOPE, you need to connect L to 12 volts switched or F if you are using a idiot light or a resistor and S to either the 12 volt side of the horn relay or the starter.



S = a heavy gauge wire to the battery supply (horn relay)
F = not used
L = a small gauge wire that comes from the idiot light and energizes the alternator
P = not used
