Alan, the # ME26FR installs really easily; the supplied harness connects directly to the battery with a 20-amp fuse and a quick-connect plug at the bumper. The controller runs off keyed power, so it shuts down when the ignition’s off. Current draw is below 20 amps, so no electrical upgrades are needed.
Will you be running an optional vibrator later? The harness already has a lead for it.
