Time to solder the wires to the PCB.

1. Solder the power wires, positive and negative battery contacts.

2. Temporarily connect the power wires to the battery. Using a multimeter, measure which side of the power switch contact is positive. Solder a wire to the positive side of the power switch contact. This is the switch wire.

3. Drill a hole in the back case for the wires to exit through.

Note: The flasher module with the switch in the housing needs an extra wiring step to connect the switch. After soldering a wire to the positive side of the power switch contact, wire the switch across the switch contacts on the PCB. When the two switch wires are connected together between the modules, the switch will turn them both on and off simultaneously.

4. Temporarily connect everything together to make sure that it functions properly.
