The cord from the heater will have 3 wires on it. The 2 outside wires will be for the power and center one is the ground. One of the outside wires will have a tracer on it, either as a ridge of insulation or white lettering or both. That is the neutral wire. The power wire will be the other wire. It's important that you connect the wires correctly. If you connect the power wire and the neutral wire backwards, there's a chance that you may energize the truck body. If that happens you might be in for the shock of your life. Hopes this helps.
well it's ac voltage..so as long as i don't cross one of the two outsides with the middle one i should be ok...hell i should just take it in for warranty i just don't think they'll replace it since it was technically my fault even though it was their fault that they didn't run the wires out for me..haha thanks for all the input
