I spoke with my contact regarding how to wire the Battery Isolation Solenoid, # PK5231201. He stated that, if you are looking at the unit with the dome facing up and the 12v sticker right side up (like we have it shown in the picture on the product page), the left terminal is input, the right terminal is output, and the middle is auxiliary which will be connected to a source that will act as a switch to engage/disengage the solenoid. He stated that normally, the middle terminal is attached to an ignition switch wire.
