[W126 Coupe] final V1 hardwiring question

[Steve Nervig]

Yes, you have the right one, Richard. It looks like to me also that 
there is only the 'hot all the time' wire. That is the wire I that I 
have my old Passport hooked to in my W124. No big deal if I forget to 
turn off the detector, because they draw very little current. Would be 
weeks before it drained the battery.
