Here you see them held onto the fender by 2 rare earth super magnets.



Here you will see a jumper wire, it is 14-gauge on one end I crimped on a good quality 1/4" female spade connector and to the other end a good insulated alligator clip.

Now what is this for you ask.

Answer,
I am prepared for the next EMP Burst for when my electrical system fails and I need to run my truck.



All that I will need to do is to locate my FSS on my injection pump,
Now simply unplug the factory connection at the top of the FSS,



And then firmly connect the one end of the jumper wire that has the female spade connector back to where you previously disconnected from the stock harness.



Now all that you need to do is to attach the alligator clip to a source of 12 volts to engage the fuel solenoid, now all that is needed is to start your truck and now it is running completely independent of you trucks electrical system



I really hope I do not have to use this in the event of an EMP but I have it just in case I am driving somewhere and I have a failure in my ignition system either intermittent of catastrophic.

It also will connect to any of the numerous relays controlling various functions of the truck such as headlights, blowers, ignition circuits, compressor clutch allowing me to activate them manually.

If you have this jumper, and your truck suddenly dies, you could run your truck totally independent of your trucks electrical system.

Hope this gives you some ideas.
