It's just connected to the positive side of the passengers side battery. There are two wires connected besides regular cable one medium size one bigger. It's the smaller of the two. Just bolted on. Wondering if it's trailer brakes. I'll go check when I get back in my truck.

I just checked mine, it's a blueish green wire and it goes from the positive side of the battery to the alternator.

There is a green wire on mine that goes to the solenoid mounted next to the passenger side battery, it is a fusable link.

Green to to a heavy wire that connects right to the battery positive, the light blue wire turns into a red wire then goes to the alternator, charges the battery.

The solenoid is what powers the grid heater.

Hope this helps
