Plug into the PSU harness and then cut the connector off the other end. Extend the yellow and the black wire next to it (pin 1 and 2) to your destination and hook up with quick-disconnects as mentioned. Tape off, remove, or cap wires 3 and 4. -pmc |

Then, if i need +12, +5 or Ground in the future, I just tap off of the bus. You can then use the quick disconnects between the bus and your application. Adam Boston, MA |

**WARNING** Use a multimeter first to determine which wire is 12v. Not all manufacturers use the same color codes. Most do, but there ARE some that reverse it. Though I suppose it won't hurt anything if you accidentally apply 5v instead of 12.... |
